This morning, it feels like we’ve all woken up with the audacity of hope again. I often think of how Obama’s father struggled to find that hope, and how Mamdani’s father, in his quiet scholarship, helped many of us learn to weave hope into the very structures of care we’re building around the world.

So very true!
A atmospheric photograph showing a solitary tree with dark green foliage emerging from thick, gray-white mist or fog. The tree appears to be leaning slightly, with visible branches and leaves creating a dramatic silhouette against the cloudy, ethereal background. White text overlays the bottom portion of the image with a quote from Wendell Berry that reads: "Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.

May those speaking up be protected and blessed. 💚
Inspirational quote displayed on a diagonal gradient background transitioning from teal blue on the left to lime green on the right. The text is written in white, casual handwritten-style font and reads: "May courage fill their voices as they speak truth to power. May they be surrounded by protection and unwavering allies. May their bravery light the way for others. Their integrity remain unshakable, and their spirits stay strong. May those who would silence them find their power broken, while their truth echoes forward, creating safer ground for all who follow. Blessed are those who choose conscience over comfort. May they be held, defended, and honored. Blessed be." The signature "Blessed be." appears in a more stylized script font at the bottom right.

WTF is Chiromo hospital doing promoting vaping as harm reduction?
Promotional poster for Chiromo Hospital Group's "Great Debate Classroom Edition" scheduled for July 25 at 8:30AM. The topic is "Vaping for Harm Reduction?" with subtitle "This house believes that vaping is a harm reduction strategy worthy of immediate adoption in Kenya." The poster features a large circular photo of Dr. Mark Tyndall, a middle-aged white man with short dark hair wearing a black sweater, identified as a Canadian physician, public health expert, and global thought leader in harm reduction, and author of "Vaping: Behind the Smoke and Fears." He represents the "For" position. Four smaller circular photos show the other participants: Dr. Muthoni Karanja (Consultant Psychiatrist) also in the "for" position, - Dr. Frank Njenga (Consultant Psychiatrist and Chairman, Chiromo Hospital Group) as moderator, and two panelists against the motion Dr. Judy Kamau (Specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health), and Dr. Joseph Nyamiobo (Consultant Psychiatrist, Chiromo Hospital Group). The background shows hands holding what appears to be a vaping device. The Chiromo Hospital Group logo appears in the top right, and Tuunguke's logo with "#MyMentalHealthFirst" appears in the bottom left. "Register Now!" appears in gold text in the bottom right corner.

💚💚💚💔💔 - I am between flop and collapse and yet get up every morning - with the goal of flow and engagement.
Chart titled "Social Engagement - Collective" adapted from Ruth Colver 2020. The diagram shows a vertical progression of collective responses using colored sections and paired human figures. At the top in light blue: "WE CAN'T" with terms like "flop," "COLLAPSE," "Dorsal Vagal," "FEIGN," "HYPO-arousal," "Sympathetic Nervous System," and "Seeking safety via DISCONNECTION." Two figures sit collapsed/withdrawn - one in yellow, one in blue. Second section in yellow: "WE HURT" showing two standing figures in confrontational poses, one in yellow, one in blue. Middle section in red/orange: "WE MUST" with "FREEZE fix," "FIGHT FLIGHT," "HYPER-arousal," "Sympathetic Nervous System," and "Seeking safety via ACTION." Shows two figures in active/aggressive stances. Fourth section in light green: "WE CAN" featuring "SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT," "Ventral Vagal," and two figures in more open, communicative poses. Bottom section in darker green: "WE ARE" with "Finding safety in CONNECTION," "With Self and/or Others." Shows two figures in calm, connected positions. A vertical arrow on the right indicates "SURVIVAL" to "RESILIENCE" progression. The diagram illustrates the polyvagal theory's progression from disconnected survival states to connected, resilient social engagement.

More of the story - from her aunt. No words.
