All things truly wicked start from innocence.

I like overcast days and stormy nights and long black coats and green tartan scarves and gumboots and furs and old French furniture and old pianos and old violins and Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor and grass that's green and moss and cinnamon cakes and very rare beef and the movie Happy Feet and skinny, pretty girls and tall, beautiful boys and Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly and the great mysteries of history and the fact that Fitzgerald and Hemingway were friends and Anna Karenina (especially Levin) and the smell of cigarette smoke, but only sometimes. I hate that I am able to sit happily and comfortably in the first world and worry about my marks and not the fact that I won't get and education at all and think about trivial things when some worry only about living though the day and my own success when I know that there are men and women and children dying because they never had the same advantages that I was given for no reason, and that it's near impossible for them to get out of whatever their terrible situation is. I hate that hundreds of years after the first documents about basic human rights were published, they're not being adhered to everywhere. I want to change the world.

“This is me on a rooftop I snuck onto in Toronto. This was grade nine, the first year I really started documenting my life in photos.”
While cleaning out her computer, Petra found a bunch of photos she took in high school, and she was generous enough to share them with us.

229 Million Children Are Officially Invisible
Registering babies at birth may be a routine, almost automated process in the United States, but it’s a rarity in some impoverished nations in both South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, according to a new report released on Tuesday by UNICEF. In all, there are nearly 230 million children in the world who are nameless and stateless. And they may languish in anonymity for a good portion of their early lives.
Living without any proof of your existence can be a major challenge. The associated paperwork is often necessary to secure healthcare, education, and other basic rights. And children who don’t have identification are also left at higher risk of displacement, exploitation, and human trafficking. In the chaos of war or disaster, reuniting children separated from their family can be difficult, if not impossible, without proper documentation. And with no formal proof of age, marriage, military service, and employment may all become a reality much sooner than appropriate.

How Humans Are Changing the Planet—in 7 Dramatic GIFs
“Much like the iconic image of Earth from the Apollo 17 mission—which had a profound effect on many of us—this time-lapse map is not only fascinating to explore,” Google Earth’s Rebecca Moore writes, “but we also hope it can inform the global community’s thinking about how we live on our planet and the policies that will guide us in the future.”
