@UMDBuoys A few of us use them to check conditions for downwind outrigger canoe and surfski paddling. And when we launch from Mcquade, we paddle out and turn on the buoy before surfing down to the canal.
@roddreher She uses loaded terms & doesn't explain her examples, but she isn't wrong about English rules being a form of control. I learned in Linguistics 101 every dialect is as rule-bound as any other. So who benefits from labeling THIS particular American dialect the only correct one?
@JamesSurowiecki Duluth, MN is a true hidden gem. We just moved here after seven years on Kauai. Starting to see folks coming in from Colorado, PNW, etc. The trickle will become a flood. Obviously a very particular kind of weather.
@dylanmatt Not to be discouraging, but Jim Jones had already put in a solid 25 years of culting by the time he founded Jonestown. There was a cabin full of elderly people who'd been with him for decades. #RoadtoJonestown
@JohnFusco12 Can't wait to see what you've done with Koolau's story. I think of him up there in the valley whenever I'm at Kalalau. And I've paddled to Molokai a few times.
@JohnFusco12 Big change after 7 years in Hawaii, but a welcome one. We missed the seasons. I've got this ready to mail as soon as you let me know where to send it.
@JohnFusco12 In Northern Minnesota they are the first voices saying spring is coming. In the last two days I've been able to smell the pine forests for the first time since November.
@JohnFusco12 So this is random but have wanted to reach out since watching Thunderheart a year ago. My debut novel Project Namahana comes out this summer and that film did everything I was trying to accomplish. Can I send you an advance copy? It's set on Kauai.

Thanks @michelleinbklyn so obvious people are desperate for meaning, community, a break from our dehumanizing society, and finding it in mass protests & rallies. Deadheads known for decades. Burning Man, Occupy Wall Street, MAGA, all the same shit. Everyone wants that feeling.
We're delighted to share this beautiful cover for #ProjectNamahana by John Teschner, coming Summer 2022 from Forge Books!
