Lya: Yes, it is.

"Life is a beautiful magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish." - Charlie Chaplin

Maybe once every 10 yrs, a boom in Jellyfish comes up the harbour. Kids & adults were up the river tubing. When they reached the mouth of the river, they were trapped by 1000s of small jellyfish.

I used my boat to rescue a few, stingers were everywhere.

I'd never seen so many, that make it to the river.

This is normal on the islands, they're rather pretty

The reflection on the ocean, of my phone in hand, snapping a photo of a jellyfish, purple translucent body, with petal-like edges and trailing stingers
A full big jellyfish in shallow water. Still some stingers left, but the dark purple body, with octagon white V markings around the fringe of the body.

It's going to be a great day, it's already daylight, and the wind is strong enough to keep the mosquitoes down. How fortunate are we?

Every morning that I discover no chalk outline, drawn around me, is a great day !

Just remembered this classic quote (I think by Yoav Rubin, ~2012):

"If something is easy, then why learn it? Learning is expensive, use it on high ROI stuff. Clojure has a very high ROI."

I'm totally biased, but genuinely believe (and been told so by others) the very same is true for https://thi.ng/umbrella

I agree. and the wise people of any community watch and learn and know the secret ways because they listen, and know the signs of trouble because they pay attention, and can face the edges of life because they understand the consequences of no one doing so.

Thank you

This Douglas Adams quote from 'The Salmon of Doubt' never stops being relevant, especially in a time where we've witnessed the damage disinformation and hate speech can cause. Lives have been literally lost, both by people spreading lies during the pandemic, and by bigoted rhetoric targeting women and marginalized groups. Legitimizing such views as just "difference of opinion" instead of challenging them for what they are only causes further harm.
