Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We still have time to mess this up!

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

While in Lamu, we of course booked a sunset sail on a dhow and sailed within a cluster of similar dhows from Lamu toward Manda Island, heading up a large channel lined with mangrove toward the sunset.  Folks in neighboring dhow were partying, jumping into the water, and singing.  We were the mellow dhow…

MANGROVES.

Mangroves lining a large tidal channel on Manda Island.  (I read on the Lamu Marine Conservation Trust website that there’s an active program to replant mangrove where they’ve been over-harvested.)

    Beautiful and serene.  I visited the neighboring Tanzania and Zanzibar.  Kenya is on my bucket list.

    [I’m headed to Truckee in half an hour—wish me luck in beating the storm.]  I encourage anyone interested in a more complete view of Lamu to watch this vimeo.  (Carol, owner of the Peloni, was key to getting the conservation trust started.)   Gives you a flavor of the archipelago and the islanders’ unique traditions.  Magical.  Take a look »

    Calming and relaxing pictures, thank you. I did a little sailing when I was young and even decades later, there is something compelling about a sail taut in the wind.

    Thanks again.
