Day 7 of posting Kenyan books on the timeline: For What are Butterflies Without Their Wings by Troy Onyango. "The whole country was like a hyena that was eating its own children and accusing them of smelling like goats." Arguably the BEST short-story collection from Kenya. ❤️
Day 6 of posting Kenyan books on the timeline: Nairobi Noir is an anthology of 14 short stories by 14 Kenyan authors, among them Kinyanjui Kombani, Peter Kimani, Troy Onyango, Makena Onjerika, John Sibi Okumu, Rasna Warah, Faith Oneya, Kevin Mwachiro, etc. ❤️ #kenyanliterature

The passing of #railaodinga is very sad indeed. In all his complexity he represents a time when Kenya dreamed big dreams and its tortuous journey since. My thoughts with his family and all who knew him. Rest in peace Baba.

Random thought. If you were to commission a visual work of art that commemorated a moment of Kenyan history which moment would you choose? Which artist would you commission? Not wanting to start something but I might choose ‘The Shoe’.

hmmm...It's a great question actually
@EricWainaina Can we assume (and hope..)that the Second draft is baking nicely in the oven/studio and you will gift us our due options before the end of Q4/2025 perhaps 🤔??

This greatly enhanced the blend and musicality needed to support a show such as #BareSessionswithEricWainaina Both @EricWainaina and George Nyoro showed off their skills and blessed our ears with sweet sounding music. We thank you for your support and look forward to more!

It takes the right kind of partnerships to make the dream work, and this one with @NakestraMus was one of note. Partnering with us to ensure that this beautiful Yamaha G3 grand piano was one of our features on stage was a dream.

To plant two trees at Eastlands Library in remembrance of my late parents, Ngugi Wa Thiong’o and Nyambura Wa Ngugi meant a lot to me. A big thank you to all my friends and relatives and who stand by me, or as we say, hold me by the ribs. We are never alone - what a gift!

I’ve been sent posters like the one by @KISE2023KENYA helping to break down the Persons With Disabilities Act, 2025 and honestly, I love to see it. When information is made clear, accessible, and easy to engage with, more people understand their rights. Shout out to everyone

Update on Christian's condition from his sister. Thank you all for standing with our comrades so far. Let's see them through this. It could have been any of us. If you have a protest related injury or know someone, please DM @WakenyaForKenya. #KunaDawa254 ##KenyansForKenya
Christian Muoki has finally been processed and admitted. KNH is slow, but eveeeeeeeentually moves. Thika Level 5 though. Ni nini? How do you keep gunshot patients untreated for 48 hours? Why not transfer bleeding Kenyans when machines failed? Why raise hopes with no doctors?
