On Daddy's shoulders! Gosh, I love this image.
One day she will be his age, and this image will have a very different meaning ❤️
If anyone knows them, please tag them so I can send them a high-res file.
This is carnival at its finest.

Always proud of the @WCKitchen teams and local crews allowing us to be fast and reliable!!! #ChefsForNepal
WCK local teams, led by Nepalese chef Santosh Shah, are serving meals in response to deadly flash floods in Nepal near the border with China. Wednesday, an avalanche of ice and rock led to flooding and landslides that destroyed villages and infrastructure. Hundreds of people are missing. WCK Relief Team members are traveling to Nepal to support those already cooking for their communities. Read more: wck.org/news/first-alert-wck… #ChefsForNepal

We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.
Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/…

Today is my birthday!
I'm moving into my dream house, a classic gem built in 1935.
And I'm starting a new novel!
I've been given kind permission by Doris Lessing's Estate to rewrite my fav Zim novel THE GRASS IS SINGING .. from the perspective of Moses!
I'm in 7th HEAVEN!

A big sigh of relief - after much uncertainty, the Natural History GCSE has finally been given the green light by the Government.
It is arguably *the* most impactful opportunity we have to teach my generation how to protect, restore and reconnect our ecosystems for the future.

The Invictus Games are returning to the United Kingdom in 2027 and we need your help.
Together with London Northwestern Railway, we're inviting you to vote for the name of a special train celebrating the #InvictusGames and the incredible community that we serve.
Before anyone asks, no, "Trainy McTrainface" isn't one of the options.
Cast your vote and help choose a name worthy of the Invictus Community!

I was honored to join The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for the unveiling of the Lost Screen Memorial at Place des Nations in Geneva ahead of the 79th World Health Assembly.
The memorial, organized by Archewell Philanthropies in partnership with the World Health Organization and The Parents’ Network, highlighted the urgent need for stronger global action to protect children and young people from online harm, cyberbullying, and unsafe digital spaces.
The event served as a powerful global call to recognize online safety, digital wellbeing, and mental health as emerging public health priorities, while encouraging governments, technology companies, health leaders, parents, and communities to work together in creating safer digital environments for children and adolescents worldwide.

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York.
Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.
