Best valentine ever (the front cover warns, "Cation [sic]: open on feb 14).

Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Hawai'i, encouragement to share. Ko Koa Uka Ko Koa Kai at our library. I gave away some beautiful shoes that do not fit me, and brought home avocado, rosemary, and limes. Left the venison for others.

H-1B, how-to and what-is--from the lawyer's perspective, but may be of interest to others. #H1B #Immigration #visa www.lawpay.com/solutions/ed...

I am so immensely grateful for KEXP and all the people who power the stations. #IAmNotAlone #YouAreNotAlone @kexp.bsky.social

If you are living with a chronic condition that can become debilitating with stress, please please please remember that sometimes our job comes down to simply surviving; it's okay to step away from the fray and not try to fix anything. #ChronicIllness #InvisibleIllness #LymeDisease #AndMore

This is a big deal, that this land did not fall into the hands of people who do not understand Hawai'i. #LandBack #FoodSovereignty #NativeLandsInNativeHands #GiftEconomy #KupekeAhupuaa #Fishpond mauinow.com/2025/01/31/f...

Re-establishing food security is a high priority on islands that have been ecologically ravished by non-native interests, e.g. cattle ranches & pineapple plantations. Communities which not too long ago fed themselves, now rely on food via airplanes and barges. #FoodSovereignty #KingdomOfHawaii

If I ever again do an online dating profile it should be a summary of the my open browser tabs, e.g.: Cornell Bird Lab: how to paint birds; Frame It Easy FAQ; Serotonin reduction in post-acute ... viral infection; Sensory hairs help male spiders get ahead; KEXP; Make Your Own Origami Lantern ...

I am making ube hash browns, and for some reason they smell like wild briar rose.

Piece of ice in rectum.

Remember, @kexp.bsky.social programs are available in their archives for (at least) two weeks. Let's try and wear out today's broadcast celebrating Dr. King. Dunno about you, but I need the hope.

Just leave the First Lady alone. Every time I see someone sling sh*t at her for what she wears or what she does, I know you do not know gaslighting firsthand. We know that at this point in things, if she ever was able to stand up and leave, a "tragic accident" would soon follow.

Uplifting programming for us today: kexp.org For example, this moment playing, "We Shall Overcome" by the Staple Singers.

There are many stories about Pele, about her journey from Tahiti to the Hawai'ian islands, and the tussles as she traveled her ultimate home at Halema'uma'u. I enjoyed this article that puts some of the stories into a "science" context. Not that I was doubting. fluxhawaii.com/the-science-...

Wondering if I should do the double shot with eggnog or the Modafinil. #FirstWorldProblems #ChronicIllness

I wonder what love felt like before there was a word for it.

What if there were a way to be notified when the User we search bsky for and hope is here, but isn't, does arrive?
