An intro. I am Janine, I own a camera or two & I may be a coffee snob. I will likely share random thoughts on here,perhaps some photography as well. If you find spelling errors or grammar mistakes, kindly keep them. English isn’t my first language, just read it in a German accent. Nice to meet you.

No need to scare us like that. I will just keep blaming all this insanity on the sun.

Couple years ago a peer asked my kid how Germans let Hitler and his goons happen.
You know, unlike today, there was a bit of a barrier in terms of what people were able to know. We now have knowledge at our fingertips, and yet here we are.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat

Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

Took a stroll through Zara. Them prices are wild and because I wanted to make sure I am not crazy I did some internet looking.

Picked a random shirt from a EU Zara page that’s priced at 29.95€.
Converting that to USD is not quite $35.
That same shirt is $49.90 in the US.

Probably a controversial opinion, but just like folks in the military, teachers too should get their housing paid for.

Spinach quiche is something I make when I don’t feel like making anything.
Pizza is another thing, coz pizza dough is quickly made, add toppings, call it a day.
Though mostly we just have salad and bread for dinner, coz I don’t like cooking in the evening. It has been greek salad a lot lately 😬

Doing math with the kid after lunch today was probably not the smartest idea. It’s a bit of a struggle. I feel for all the kids coming home from school with homework to finish in the late afternoon. This has to be unpleasant.

Spouse picked up Eggnog this afternoon. I am about to slurp an eggnog latte. Dropped some Sunday words. I dropped them before I got a call from my sister asking if my grandma could come visit to celebrate her 90th Birthday with us in Hawai’i. What news.

My coffee wasn’t photogenic enough to take a proper ‘camera and coffee on the table’ image. Though I think they are only worth sharing when it’s a Leica anyways.
Happy Sunday, I got my Vitamin D & Sea replenished.

A film camera sitting on the edge of a picnic table by a beach. Patches of grass lone the sand. The ocean, mountains and a blue sky full of white puffy clouds is lining the horizon.

That’s why we don’t edit at home 😉😬

Wissenschaft muss lauter sein. Das vertrat ich lange. Doch ich bin mir nicht mehr so sicher. Es ist alles gesagt. Und es hört niemand mehr zu. Alle haben ihre Positionen fest eingenommen; ein Großteil auf Zuschauerplätzen. Vor allem aber: Die meisten wissenschaftlichen Akteure wollen auch gar nicht.

There are a couple of shopping cart corrals in each parking row, but that’s still 5 meters too far to walk. Image being in a wheelchair, pushing a stroller or need walking assistance and you find yourself on this walkway. We gotta be more considerate of others.

A walkway lined by parking rows. Trees are growing along the walkway on the left. A store is ahead. Shopping carts are sitting on the walkway, waiting to be returned to the store, eventually.

Photo of a sunrise over the marsh land in Delaware. The sun is hidden by clouds, but the red glow is widely seen all across the image.

“night rider.”
05/2025.

It was a foggy almost 2am on my front porch. I’m rarely awake at 2am, let alone outside at that hour. But it was a weird night. And I thought this was weirdly cool.

A car with its high beams on driving on a foggy country back road at 2am. The shadows of trees and brush next to the road can be seen in the glow of the two vertical light beams shooting through the middle of the frame. The light is a yellow glow while everything around it is pitch black.

Reapplying sunscreen at the beach this morning and asking the teenager: “On a scale of one to white, how white am I?”

She answered with: “You always add plenty of spices to your dishes.”

Thank you, I guess but that didn’t tell me if I needed to rub in my sunscreen a bit more. 🫠😂

the options to award it to anyone must have absolutely sucked this year.
But at least one old, delusional guy got a bit of credit and fanfare.

My understanding of peace just must be something very different 🫠. Back to not paying attention next year, HA!

Janine @coffeeandclicks.bsky.social · 3d

I don’t think I have ever paid much attention to the Nobel Peace Prize. This year only because one old, delusional guy thought he stopped all the wars and should therefore be awarded the prize.

Turns out.. /1

Sorry this is all fucked up, but I do hope some folks are being done being called stupid and actually start making changes for a better future.
Nothing lasts forever, this too shall pass, but don’t let it pass while sitting on the wrong side of history. Consequences are for everyone.

I find it shocking how few people apparently have read Project ‘25. I know its not a pleasant read and a lot of it is bureaucratic musings, but if my behind can manage, what’s someone’s excuse. Fact is, the US is/was global influence and what is happening here has consequences for abroad too. /3

She is in her party. She is depending on the Military paycheck on the 15th for her kids health. You know, I want to feel empathy but it’s running pretty low these days.
The fact that MJ right there blamed the democrats again. Just insane.
But here is another things.. /2

Another day, a different set of friends my kids are hanging out with. It’s sideline internet scrolling for me, though my oldest bought me a hot cocoa to make up for spending another morning in double socks & a knitted sweater. I watched the news clip a caller told Mike Johnson how disappointed.. /1

Shit like “Epstein bomb about to drop..” gotta stop. You all just keep up hopes to stretch over time.

How about, shut up about what’s gonna happen and show up with results.

Results is the only thing that actually matters.
