Wondering leads to wandering and I am exceptionally curious...

Should note that all photos are mine, unless otherwise indicated in the post...

I wanted to break away from my typical style of putting a light up to ICE's injustices and instead highlight Alex's life and how he was an embodiment of justice. He lost his life upholding justice, and now we must stand up to get justice for Alex. #topsy #alex #pretti #alexpretti #abolishice

This 1000%. I just had a conversation on this very topic this morning...
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Looking out toward where the Ala Wai Canal meets the ocean. I always enjoy watching the paddlers in their outrigger canoes. They are on the Ala Wai every day...

If there were ever any questions about my ability to feed myself, today's lunch should sufficiently answer them, right?

Waiting for L to finish robotics practice and thought these palms looked interesting against the stormy sky...

Trying to decide which of my No Blood For Oil signs to bring out. The one from Bush 41? Bush 43? The other one from Bush 43?

These chucklefucks are all the same: they can't govern, and when the stupid people who voted for them start to notice their failure, here comes the lawless invasion.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

The sun sets on 2025. Here's to a new year that is kinder, more just, and brings with it renewed strength and heart.

I saw the top of this mural from two streets away and just had to walk out of my way to see it. It's stunning in person.

Lookes all over for the artist's signature, but couldn't find it.

Across the street from Ala Moana Shopping Center...

We aren't boycotting the arts; we are refusing to entertain fascists and white nationalists. Cry harder about it while you listen to Kid Rock and try so hard to pretend it isn't basic, boring, uninspired tripe.
The arts under MAGA fascism.

The squirrel’s near me have their very own Don Vito Corleone. I find him quite intimidating. 😳😁

What I love about the places I've visited in Europe and East Asia is how you can just turn a corner and suddenly history emerges in architectural form. It always makes me catch my breath.

But here in Hawaiʻi, you can often turn a corner and bam! Rainbow. It's different, but kinda the same...

For the past 14 years, Christmas Eve means Italian food at Fresco at Hilton Hawaiian Village. We walk through all of the decorations and the evening always spills over with memory and joy. Pretty sure the joy is helped along by the Italian Lemon Drop to start and tiramisu to wrap up...

A sketchy rest stop on the walk home. It sits between a restaurant I am unsure is in business and a strip club...
