Familiarly Unfamiliar
Digitized home movies are stirring memories of things I’d forgotten, while a random genealogy search uncovered something much bigger: my uncle’s witness statement about a B-24 bomber lost over Germany in World War II.#b24 — Public Fediverse posts

This is one of the most remarkable aviation stories. This B-24 was discovered in the Sahara Desert 15 years after it vanished during WWII. It was found perfectly preserved, with edible rations and working machine guns and radio. But what happened to its crew? 👇

It's always nice when a KAP kite catches another kite on camera. To see a high flyer from above makes dizzying heights even more ... dizzying :-)

Growing up, although we never talked about it much, I knew my Granda had been a navigator in WW2, flying on Liberators. There was a photo he always had on display, of his crew next to the plane.
A couple of weeks ago we visited the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, and I got to see one of the few remaining Liberators for the first time.
It was amazing to see it, but also very sobering in all sorts of ways.

Does anyone know how Amazon accounted for Smile giving? Did it claim it as the company's giving?

here's another set of #philanthropy predictions for 2023 - from a financial services magazine so not surprisingly focused on products -

the rise of robo advisors in financial services raises two interesting questions: what do robo-financial advisors have to say about giving and do they portend a rise in robo-philanthropy advisors?

US philanthropy consulting space is consolidating - Redstone becoming part of Arabella. Is this sign of economy? or need to compete with the behemoth of Bridgespan?

So Amazon Smile is shutting down. Any nonprofits on here want to share their experiences with it - is it a meaningful loss or just a nothingburger (not counting all the data that it allowed A to capture on your org, your donors, etc)
