Folks at Koala Rescue Brisbane South take their jobs very seriously. Every day, they do their best to care for their koala friends. When they hear about an animal in danger, they put forth every effort to get that koala back to safety. Their work has inspired many to keep an extra eye out, just in case. A bus driver in Brisbane noticed a koala in danger dodging traffic and decided to stop his bus to help. The bus driver loaded the koala onto the bus and drove it right back to safety.

Thanks to our driver and @koalarescuebrisbanesouthinc Peri the koala has finally made it home safe and sound to Seven Hills Bushland Reserve,” an Instagram post reads. “If you do see a koala that needs a help, please get in touch with animal rescue services – just don’t give them a go card!” Seeing the koala on the bus made many people smile. “this is sooooo cute and very kind! Merry Christmas lil mate and driver too!,” a follower wrote. “Appreciate the kind bus driver’s actions. Unfortunately, situations like this will occur again (and many without a positive outcome) unless more action is taken to stop koala habitat fragmentation and destruction,” another person wrote. Others just found the joy in the koala bus moment. “This is the only kind of breaking news I want in my feed,” someone wrote. “Sorry i was late to work, there was a koala on my bus,” another person joked. We’re glad the little guy made it back home safe and sound. This story’s featured image can be found here

Alzheimer’s disease is a brutal disease that not only affects the patient but also those who love them. It’s so difficult to watch someone you care about deeply change into someone you don’t always recognize. In the beginning, Alzheimer’s patients sometimes recognize how their lives are changing, and it’s heartbreaking. A woman found a sticky note left by her husband during his Alzheimer’s journey. It’s a beautiful testament to their love, and it’s likely to make you shed a tear or two. “P.S. I forget a lot of things but – I never forget how wonderful you are. Love Joseph,” the sweet not reads. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pubity (@pubity) Alzheimer’s Didn’t Take the Doting Man’s Love Caption on a viral Instagram post sums up the sentiment beautifully. “With Alzheimer’s affecting more than 7 million Americans, many families saw their own stories in Joseph’s words, calling it a rare, lasting reminder of love through loss,” the message reads. True love can transcend difficult times, and seeing this sweet message made many people emotional. “The way the handwriting gets a little shaky at the end… You can tell he was fighting to get those words down while he still could. Absolutely heart-wrenching,” someone wrote. Others believe Joseph’s love affair with his wife will continue far beyond Alzheimer’s. “Love truly leaves a lasting mark, even through memory loss,” someone wrote. “I hope they find each other again in a better place and time one day,” another person added. Of course, many people found themselves overcome with tears from Joseph, his wife, and the entire Alzheimer’s community. Although it’s a cruel disease, it’s comforting to see so much empathy in the world, particularly from total strangers. “Another day of me crying on the Internet for strangers,” a comment reads.

Every day, we encounter people who have the potential to change our lives forever, and we don’t even realize it. When Bill Sumiel Jr. called for an Uber ride in 2021, he had no idea his driver, Tim Letts, would be the answer to his prayers. Tim picked Bull up from his dialysis appointment, and the pair began a friendly chat. Bill mentioned his need for a kidney transplant and that he’d been on a list for years. “The ride was fantastic,” Bill told Fox & Friends. “I met this gentleman. He talked back when you start [a] conversation. A lot of Uber drivers don’t. And so, it inspired me, by friendliness, to tell him about my situation.” The story moved Tim so strongly that he decided to offer him a kidney of his own. The Uber driver turned into a kidney donor in a matter of moments. “We got to my house. And Tim says, ‘If you’ll take my name and number, I’d like to donate a kidney to you.’” Bill recalled. “I was so nervous. I could hardly read his name and number.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Your Positive News (@yourpositivenews) The Uber Driver and Passenger Were Compatible for Kidney Donation Remarkably, Bill and his Uber driver were a perfect match, and Time donated his kidney to Bill. Tim said he’d always considered becoming a donor, and this proved to be the perfect opportunity. “I come from a relatively healthy bloodline. I’m pretty healthy,” he said. “So, I [didn’t] see that being much of a challenge.” The Uber driver made a profound statement abouth is kidney donation journey. “If a person like that can’t have somebody stand in their corner, then kind of what’s the point of it all?” Tim said. “Mahatma Gandhi says to ‘be the change you want to see in the world,’ and Maya Angelou says to ‘be a rainbow in someone’s cloud,’ and those things, they mean the world to me.” This story’s featured image can be found here.

Since Tom Holland and Zendaya confirmed their engagement in early 2025, fans have been waiting, dying to hear about wedding plans. The pair have remained tight-lipped, not unlike many celebrity couples. Not everyone wants every detail of their private life shared with the entire world, which we totally respect. Some couples opt to elope or have secret ceremonies to keep the day special. It appears Tom and Zendaya might just be one of these couples. A source close to the couple claimed they have already been tied. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Access Hollywood (@accesshollywood) Zendaya’s Stylist Claims She and Tom Holland Are Already Married “The wedding has already happened. You missed it. It’s very true,” Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, told Access Hollywood on the red carpet. The news flabbergasted the host, but Law just walked off with a smile. We can totally see Zendaya and Tom Holland having a private wedding, but the way Law shared the news was unexpected. Fans loved this for the couple. “One thing I love about Z is that she’s not afraid to keep stuff private,” someone wrote. “I’m so happy for them they could get a personal space in this century. Congratulations,” another person shared. “It’s best they have their private wedding. It’s the new things, and I love it for them! No one in their life’s but them. Perfect,” a comment reads. Some fans felt like Zendaya gave clues about her marriage to Tom Holland a while back. “She recently started wearing a gold band instead of her engagement ring so this tracks. I’m happy they got to have privacy!” A fan wrote. “We already heard lol I mean I had heard that they married privately a couple of months ago. Good for them,” another fan agreed.

“There’s a snake in my boot!” may be one of the most recognizable lines in children’s films across multiple generations. Voiced by the iconic Tom Hanks, Toy Story‘s trusty cowboy toy hero, Woody, has been a beloved character for over 30 years. But what people may not realize is that when you hear Woody’s voice anywhere but the films, you’re likely not hearing Tom Hanks. You’re hearing his brother, Jim Hanks. Didn’t know Tom Hanks had a voice actor brother? You’re not alone. An interview with Jim explaining how he’s voiced Woody for three decades is blowing people’s minds. Jim Hanks has played Woody more often than Tom Hanks When Toy Story came out in 1995, it made history as the first full-length, 3D computer-animated film. Since then, the film franchise has become one of the most successful in history. We not only have four (going on five) movies, but also toys, merch, and themed experiences. We know the voice in the film is Tom Hanks. But the voice in Woody toys? That’s Jim. Computer and video games? That’s Jim. Theme park rides? Also Jim. Disney on Ice shows? Jim. “I think I went in and did the first toy in ’94 before the first movie came out,” Jim told Jace Diehl. He said he voiced Woody for a short film that came out after the fourth movie, in addition to the various other places Woody can be found. Jim Hanks delivers some pull string lines as Woody #d23 pic.twitter.com/4foCJEdLN9— Stitch Kingdom has BUM WORMS (@stitchkingdom) August 11, 2024 People thought it was a myth that Tom Hanks’ brother voices Woody “I never really knew that my voice was as similar to Tom’s,” Jim shared. “I have since then seen videos of myself…where I watch myself and go ‘Oh my God, yeah, I do sound like him, even if I’m not trying.” Watching the interview, it’s quite remarkable how much Tom and Jim look and sound alike. Tom Hanks has also talked about Jim’s Woody work in interviews, including this one in which Graham Norton thought it was an urban myth: Commenters on the Jim Hanks interview video were blown away to find out this bit of Toy Story trivia: “I can’t be the only one who didn’t know Tom Hanks had a brother, where the hell have I been.” “I feel like I just got Mandela effected.” “I’m not entirely convinced that’s not just Tom Hanks with a shaved head.”“They should make a docudrama about Jim Hanks played by Tom Hanks.” “Seeing Jim talk casually is surreal, because he looks and sounds just about as much Like Tom Hanks as a person possibly can. But at the same time, he has a totally different personality and way of carrying himself.” “This is breaking my brain right now. I’m 33, grew up on Toy Story, and I was today years old when I learned that collectively, Jim Hanks has more of a right to the title ‘the voice of Woody’ than Tom Hanks does. Such a talented family.” I feel like more people should know that Woody has been played by Jim Hanks more than Tom Hanks.This is very funny to me.— Pat (@Pat_Candler) February 26, 2026 Voicing Woody is a Hanks family affair Jim said he thinks of his Woody voice as an impression of Tom yelling at his kid, which makes sense. Even though they are brothers, their voices aren’t identical, so Jim has to work to find Tom’s voice. The way he describes pushing on his diaphragm while having the voice up in his nose, but also deep at the same time, makes it clear he’s a skilled voice actor. He may have a clear genetic advantage, but he has to work to play Woody. And if you’re wondering whether the brothers’ work ever comes into their family life, the answer is yes. “One time, Tom and I were up visiting my mother, and we called my other brother,” Jim shared. “We were just blabbing  away, and my brother Larry finally says, ‘I just got to say, this is like listening to dueling Woodys.'” Countless kids and adults have a lot to thank the Hanks family for, especially knowing that Woody has been a family affair from the beginning.
