My online girlfriend was so shocked by the Ukraine drone strike on the Russian data centre that she's been too upset to message me all day.

Gotta admit I've lived in NYC a very, very long time and don't think I ever knew about this mural Keith Haring did in 1987 for the Carmine Street Swimming Pool. I just stumbled upon it while walking past and was like👀 www.haring.com/!/art-work/242

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

In Joyce’s Ulysses, Leopold Bloom buys a bar of lemon soap from Sweny’s Chemist. A small episode in an enormous novel, not enough perhaps to stake a substantial claim for this chemist as a Dublin landmark. Modern-day Sweny’s could so easily be an attempt to cash in on this tenuous association -
A photo of the frontage of Sweny’s Chemist in Dublin. Two arched glass windows, a matching arched glazed door way, and the letters SWENY spelled out in gold letters above the door.

Dervla Murphy (1931-2022), Ireland’s most celebrated and fearless travel writer, wrote of Ella Maillart's journey through Soviet Turkestan: "Sleeping under the stars is romantic but, at –25°C with an almost empty belly, it takes what most of us haven’t got.” #Photography #EllaMaillart #SpeirGorm
Ireland’s most celebrated and fearless travel writer Dervla Murphy enjoying a glass of stout.

Recognised for her consistent honesty and reportage over her 50-year career, Dervla published more than 20 books chronicling - like Ella Maillart - raw adventures across multiple continents, traveling without luxuries and largely relying on the hospitality of local people.

Dervla wrote insightful introductions and appreciations for reissues of Ella Maillart’s travelogues, bridging the legacy of two pioneering generations of solo female explorers. Both traveled deeply into Central Asia, the Himalayas, and remote regions independently, defying conventional norms of their respective eras.

"... In darkness, how do you deal with the flea you've just caught in your sleeping bag? We all know you can only kill a flea by bisecting it, preferably between thumb nail and finger-nail - but that's not easily done in darkness. So Ella Maillart used her teeth, which tells us a lot about her: innovative, un-squeamish, well equipped to share in the daily and nightly lives of Central Asian nomads. ...

Although Ella Maillart makes a few acid remarks about the British, she consistently practises one of their virtues - understatement. Therefore the average reader of 'Turkestan Solo', who has never experienced anything comparable to riding a camel in mid-winter for 300 miles across an uninhabited desert, may not fully appreciate what's involved. Sleeping under the stars is romantic - but at -25c, with an almost empty belly, it takes what most of us haven't got.

'Forbidden Journey' describes this author's most famous achievement. But in 1982 (when just back from the mountains of Bhutan) Ella wrote to me: “Did you ever read my 'Turkestan Solo'? – which I think was more difficult to achieve than Forbidden Journey.” I can believe that.“ - Dervla Murphy, Introduction to 'Turkestan Solo'
