Esto es la ex ESMA (Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada) en Buenos Aires, Argentina. De 1976 a 1983, la ESMA fue un centro de terrorismo de estado donde se retenían civiles sin cargos y se les torturaba. A las víctimas se les conoce como "los desaparecidos." n.pr/3Z3JalX

When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧

I just read this and I think I'll use it for my self-assessment! Thank you @mwbuckingham
When describing yourself in a job interview, don't say, "I am best at..." Say, "I am at my best WHEN..." Be vivid about what strengthens you.
so happy to read this @bsiemering @PittmanRadio so simple "radio will continue to meet us where we are" @NPR @RadioHOF Radio is the real media unicorn, says iHeartMedia's Bob Pittman thedrum.com/opinion/2022/08/… via @thedrum
Bienvenido @PabloValdivia This is the first position of its kind at NPR and it exists thanks to the thoughtful and innovative work of the @NPRoye listening group.

My @NPRlife colleague Anika Steffen wrote this @MsMarvelNews story. Fun and cool! 'Ms. Marvel' treats being Muslim as ordinary — and that makes it extraordinary npr.org/2022/06/17/110551237…
