A 9-year-old boy from Amsterdam during the Dutch famine better known as "winter hunger" from 1944 to 1945. Many children carried spoons with them wherever they went "just in case.”

Heartbreaking.
I just found this...
"The boy in the photo is Henkie Holvast. He later became a symbol of child suffering during World War II.
Henkie survived the "Hongerwinter". Two of his younger siblings didn't."

His arm looks broken...poor man,.
The Ukrainian war seems to have been forgotten about and overshadowed by what's happening in Israel.

It's still talked about here, but I think that's because the legislative fights we keep having over how much money we spend on it.

16-year-old Christina Bevan, photographed by her father's friend Colonel Mervyn O’Gorman at Durdle Door in Lulworth, Dorset. They are original colour and not colourised. It was taken 111 years ago!

It's sad...and scary, that a man who seems to not be with it some of the time, holds such a powerful position.
He is 81, Trump is 78, there should be a maximum age anyone can run for president.

In Japan, "Johatsu" refers to people who disappear due to pressures like failed marriages, debt, and job loss. They abandon their lives and live anonymously off the grid. Specialized companies, called "night movers," assist them in vanishing completely.

That's spooky, they could just kill them!

I would think, in this country at least, it would be hard to 'just disappear'. It happens though, probably more often than we think.
I suppose the shorter time people have been here the easier it is to avoid leaving a trail.

In 1979, a woman named Elvita Adams attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the Empire State Building. She jumped from the 86th floor, but was blown back onto the 85th by a strong gust of wind. She survived.
