My colleague, Ben, discussing the eruption of Mauna Loa.

[CNN Early Start @EarlyStart]

The world's largest active volcano in Hawaii's Big Island is erupting after nearly 40 years of hiatus.
Why is it erupting now and what should the residents expect in the days to come?
Benjamin Andrews, director of the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program joined us.

In case @RMcElhenney, @blakelively, or @Wrexham_AFC fans want to get Ryan a belated gift, too.

@USLatinoMuseum Día de Muertos is a lovely celebration of life and the role of rememberance. A mi hija pequeña le encanta la película 'Coco'. Like so many new to #DayoftheDead traditions, we've used the movie to springboard discussions about our ancestors and how they shaped us.

@evangelestia @SILibraries Charlie and I can't wait to meet him!

[Stephen Cox @ConservoErgoSum]

Not sure who was more excited to hear from and talk to our incoming @SILibraries Director, @evangelestia this morning: my toddler/officemate or me. I don't know how Pre-K teachers can form coherent sentences in a room full of tiny talkers...I clearly can't with just one.

I'm a Deaf engineer working on @MicrosoftTeams. Long overdue, but we are committed to building a best-in-class experience for the D/HH in Teams. I'd love to connect with our D/HH users and interpreters and work to understand what an equitable experience looks like for everyone.

@wahlgreens 100%. Book curation, while important, is the smallest part of my job. Having studied Dig Pres, I use what I learned about database design and metadata architecture every day.

@feliciaday Just got your Cameo for Father’s Day (Charlie is my little girl)! I’m from Florence, AL, and we’re the same age, so it your video was extra special.
