300 people create a human chain to help an independent bookstore move their entire inventory

300 people. 9,100 books. 2 hours.

109-year-old spent his final years knitting tiny sweaters for injured penguins

Putting his still-nimble fingers to good use, the centenarian volunteered to use his knitting skills to help protect little penguins exposed to oil spills.

This story never gets old. 

Alfred has passed, back in 2016, but I still find his work inspiring, and lovely, and it makes me consider taking up knitting.
