Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

The dead boy tries to open his eyes.
He wants to see the world he is leaving.
But there is nothing to see here,
nothing and nothing, and anyway he is gone.
His parents held him while he died
but they are both dead, too.
Or he held them, no one remembers.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!
It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.
It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

I’ve turned into one of those FaceBook people. I post on public pages to point out to others getting excited over a tupuna photo that it is Ai generated.
I actually find it quite sad.

I once called out to my cousin when I saw him in the supermarket. I was mistaken though, it was Elijah Wood. I said “sorry, I thought you were my cousin”.
