Postage Stamps: This was the site of progress. A time when we could jot missives, love letters, and pen poetic reflections. Playing Romeo was effortless. It was a past untouched by emojis—a time when words carried weight, sealed in envelopes and sent with hope. Instead of instant messages, we wished our letters could fly like jumbo jets. Hail the post office!

This was James Kanyotu's residence. He lived lavishly, overseeing a reign of terror for decades during the Kenyatta and Moi regimes. He looted billions and served as a director of Goldenberg International alongside Kamlesh Pattni. (He then passed away).

History: This pen and the Ostrich ink were the stories that were part of the primary school system. If you know, you know.

Sir Herbert Baker’s masterpiece (Government House), now State House, has been violated. Gone is a heritage, an insult to history, and it makes no sense. We gave grabbed our national heritage and violated it. I never thought we could go this low. I am sad.

This is big. President Trump has signed an executive order declassifying files relating to the assassination of JFK, Robert F Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr .

I think @DCI_Kenya should have treated her as a whistleblower. That case will go nowhere.

Historical Irony: Kenya sends its police to Haiti to fight Jimmy Cherizier's gang members who have made the country ungovernable. Kenya revives Mungiki gang and allows its leader Maina Njenga a free reign to disrupt meetings in central Kenya. Are we really serious?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. As a tea farmer, I have seen some benefits. First, I have my voice. Secondly, I can question without being blocked from selling my tea leaves. Third, farmers now know their rights. Fourth, continued attempts by KTDA to revive cartels and create sleaze spaces will be a continuing battle. And fifth, we, as farmers are now vigilants. Didn’t you see how Githambo got its money?

As young journalists, we came to know Judy Thongori as more than just a lawyer—she was our trusted voice of reason, the one we turned to for insightful commentary and a broader perspective. For those of us reporting on human rights, she was a beacon, consistently providing clarity and depth on the stories that mattered most. Her wisdom and warmth were matched only by her unwavering commitment to justice. She was always a joy to work with, her presence both reassuring and inspiring. Judy’s legacy will live on, not only in the cases she championed but in the countless lives she touched. Rest in peace, Judy. You will be deeply missed
