I Just Watched “Bear Grylls Meets President Zelenskyy – Reporting from Ukraine – War Zone”

Much like during World War II, life in many parts of Ukraine continues with a sense of normalcy—people still go to work, shop for groceries, and carry on with daily routines—even as the war rages on. I’ve always been fascinated by how people manage their everyday lives in the middle of a conflict. How do the logistics work? Do insurance companies cover homes damaged or destroyed by war? Are there shortages? Are kids still attending school regularly? One...

I Just Watched “The Century: America’s Time – 1936-1941: Over The Edge”

I Just Watched “It’s Not Unusual, A Lesbian & Gay History Part 2 (BBC2, 1997)” on YouTube

This documentary aired on the BBC in 1997. They talk with men who were thrown in jail for being gay. The first one they spoke with was born in 1919…. So he would have been in his mid to late 70’s when this was filmed. I’m still watching it, just wanted to take some notes. I will write more later.
