I loved spending time with my grandma. I would always jump at the opportunity to visit her while my younger brother stayed with my mom (he was still a baby, after all). But I didnโ€™t look forward to the nighttime. Thatโ€™s when the smoke demon would appear in my dreams.

Haneen sent this video of her youngest daughter:

"[My name is] Aylan.
I don't understand why we are living in a tent.
I just want to play again,
eat without hearing the sound of bombs,
and sleep without fear, worry or cold.
Bye!"

Digital, full-color illustration featuring two young cartoon animal characters. One is Fred, a little black and white husky pup who is wearing glasses, dressed in a red sweater and blue jeans, while holding a bundle of straw. Fred is standing next to a little black dorper lamb, Drake, who is wearing blue overalls over an orange and red striped shirt. The little husky is gently holding the lamb's hand as a giggling Drake is offering a friendly-looking cow some food, the same sort of straw that Fred is holding as he waits his turn. The cow is white and brown and is wearing a bell on a red collar around its neck. She has a tuft of brown hair on top of her head, and gentle, large blue eyes.  Behind the pair stretches a green field dotted by several haystacks. A red windmill with an orange roof and rainbow-patterned blades stands far-off in the center, while a tree heavy with red apples stands to its side. A smiling sun is peeking from behind a hill over a blue sky, and a pink wooden fence and some bushes harmoniously encase the foreground and the background. A large tree stands to the left of the illustration, and smaller clumps of trees are visible far away into the distance.  The artists' signature reads "M. Neira" and is marked as having been completed in the year 2025. A watermark with the URL "www.marinaneira.com" is visible on the bottom. This artist is also known as "Squelfland".

A screenshot of a Springer Nature webpage for a BMC Medicine research article titled โ€˜Modelling the joint impact of early life interventions on adult health: an illustrative example of multiple long term conditions with role limitations in midlife using the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70)โ€™. The page shows the publication date, open access label, a download PDF button and the list of authors: Sebastian Stannard, Ann Berrington, Nida Ziauddeen, Simon D. S. Fraser, Shantini Paranjothy, Rhiannon K. Owen and Nisreen A. Alwan. The abstract section is visible, beginning with the background on limited evidence about early childhood policy interventions that can prevent or delay multiple long term conditions, and noting that the study modelled prevention scenarios using five early life domains with real life intervention data.

A black and white photo of  four children smiling while looking at the camera while standing beside a wall in a rural setting. They are dressed in hats and jackets suggesting cooler weather.  One boy, who looks like the oldest of the group, is carrying a small axe over his shoulder.

The Bright Side of the Streets

I have a good reason for photographing this perfectly ordinary scene. Over the years Iโ€™ve taken photos of men sitting on that electricity box, and this just adds to that collection.

First there was this photo of Liam Foley, an elderly man enjoying a cigarette. He passed away 2 months after that photo was taken. I was glad I could pass on that photo to his family.

Then a few years later, yet another photo of a man enjoying a cigarette.

And now, many years later, a photo of a man about to roll a cigarette.

I like what they did with the door and the mural. Lovely to see the colour there.

Vibrant street art photograph showing a child on a balance bike wearing a gold jacket, an adult sitting on an electricity box in front of street murals with a turquoise wall listing local Cork businesses in white text, a red doorway with a black bottle silhouette, and a bright yellow storefront numbered 43 on North Main Street, Cork.

Please raise your kid so they can think for themselves! #children #childhood #kids #child #parent #parenting #parenthood #activism #CriticalThinking
One of the worst lessons we teach children is that being disobedient is the same as being wrong. Sometimes, it's right to be disobedient.
