WCK’s Preservation Project is about more than preparing for winter. These kits give families the opportunity to celebrate tradition and enjoy the comforting, familiar flavors that remind them of home—especially for the people who have had to leave their homes behind. #ChefsForUkraine

In Brewton, AL, alongside our local restaurant partner Chappy's Deli, WCK is serving meals to workers cleaning up debris left by Hurricane Isaias. Recovery efforts are only just beginning, and WCK is here to ensure anyone in need receives a nourishing meal. #ChefsForAlabama

Recovery doesn't just mean regaining access to meals—it also means rebuilding joy. At Yellow Monastery in Kathmandu, many families and children are still displaced. WCK partners brought burgers from restaurant partner Pumpernickel Bakery, then joined them for playing and dancing. #ChefsForNepal

Ground Effect xkcd.com/3305/
Comic. [Two people flailing high in the air. Three people on the ground running ahead of them. Arrows and a dotted line indicate that this second group is within roughly one body length of the surface.] [caption] The “ground effect” explains why sprinters can run most efficiently if they stay within roughly one body length of the surface.

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

In Ukraine, "back to school" looks very different for many children. In the Kharkiv region, WCK is serving meals at a space where displaced children from Kupiansk spend their weekdays—learning, catching up on missed education, and simply being kids together. #ChefsForUkraine

Children around the world deserve the right to play. In Gaza, WCK is finding ways to give kids that opportunity. We recently distributed toys and sweets to young children at medical centers in southern Gaza. For kids living through conflict, moments to smile and have fun matter. #ChefsForGaza

Comfort takes many forms. At WCK's kitchen in Amchit, Lebanon, it looks like mini pizzas and pies. Our team is preparing several varieties of these local favorites for displaced families in the area—more than meals, they bring joy and familiarity when so much remains uncertainty. #ChefsForMidEast

Agree 💯. The engineering org I work in has a well-defined technical leadership career ladder that parallels the management ladder. It provides growth opportunities without requiring people management or budgeting responsibilities.

How come nobody ever asks how the Drunken Master's family is doing? COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/drunken PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
4-panel SMBC comic update. Two martial artists reminiscent of Street Fighter games prepare to fight on top of a fortified stone wall. The first declares "now, I will defeat you with drunken master style." The second fighter scoffs, saying "heh. That's not an actual martial art. it doesn't work in real life." The first, visibly drunk, says "this may just be the beer talking, but I think if you were an easier child to love your mother would’ve stayed." The next panel shows the second warrior defeated, with the text "FATALITY" appearing between the two warriors.
