Watching the followers go from Raila hate to Raila appreciation, using the tunnels and channels of "nuance", "new information" "culture and kindness" has been hilarious to watch. You changed your mood, because you saw the prevailing mood.
Social survival skills 😂😂
This is it
We are loud. We are radiant. We embody confidence.
Our culture, our songs, us as women.
How we show up.
So much vibrance. We are expressive.
This is who we are its beautiful. Even how we mourn so deliberate and beautiful and expressive.
I love who we are!
You may insult us all you want but one this for sure, The Luo Community is rooted in culture. The sense of belonging, identity, spirituality, family values and culture is never lost. And that's what is admirable. We're truly us, the LUO people.

God, I want to thank You publicly for making me a Luo woman. Thank You for seeing it fit to make my earthly ethnicity this fun, unique, colorful, and entertaining community. I am grateful. I am happy to be Luo. You do all things well.
luo-ness teaches us to show up as ourselves — not as a copy or an imitation — but our true-full-loud-unapologetic selves. it tells us there’s nothing like “too much” when you’re comfortable in who you are and you believe in yourself. it validates your self-esteem at birth.
I am immensely proud to come from a region that is unashamedly connected to the breadth and depth of the human experience and freely expresses💓!
May we never change!
May we never shrink!
May we never dilute ourselves!
May we always express and 'over-express'!
Kenya is my second home.
My Ministry has immensely grown through the support of my kenyan Family.
I stand with you as we celebrate this great son of Africa @RailaOdinga .
I had to do this for Kenyans.
I have never been a fan of Raila. But. That crowd today is intoxicating. At any point since 2007, he could have marched to state house with a tenth of that crowd and become the President. The self-restraint and discipline to choose not to speaks volume of him as a person.
'Gladys Wanga, going to that grieving father's home, mocking him with money and forcing him to thank people, hata alikuwa anamwambia umeshau kusema 'thank Raila', 'thank the President'. That was very shameless.

The reality of building web apps in 2025 is that it's a bit like assembling IKEA furniture. There's no "full-stack" product with batteries included, you have to piece together and configure many individual services:
- frontend / backend (e.g. React, Next.js, APIs)
- hosting (cdn, https, domains, autoscaling)
- database
- authentication (custom, social logins)
- blob storage (file uploads, urls, cdn-backed)
- email
- payments
- background jobs
- analytics
- monitoring
- dev tools (CI/CD, staging)
- secrets
- ...
I'm relatively new to modern web dev and find the above a bit overwhelming, e.g. I'm embarrassed to share it took me ~3 hours the other day to create and configure a supabase with a vercel app and resolve a few errors. The second you stray just slightly from the "getting started" tutorial in the docs you're suddenly in the wilderness. It's not even code, it's... configurations, plumbing, orchestration, workflows, best practices. A lot of glory will go to whoever figures out how to make it accessible and "just work" out of the box, for both humans and, increasingly and especially, AIs.
