The U.S, in the middle of World War II, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on another Japanese city — Nagasaki. Japan, an Axis power, surrendered soon after, ending the war. 🧵

A fascinating first-person account. What happened to her afterwards?

I agree with Jon Cooper there

Some days I only get dressed to go to the mailbox.

I have indeed and I loved this little window.

What city is depicted in this stained glass window? And where are the ships going?

Before my time. What’s The Albion?

I’d rather have your superb-owls

That’s just what we need. I visited in 2023 💖
