He wouldn’t ask a man the same question. That’s the problem.

It was really nothing special in the scheme of things, but she documented everything meticulously. She grew up in Beverly Hills, married a boy from the Bronx that she met (and fought another girl over) at a USO dance during WWII (he’d exaggerated his age to enlist). Then they raised three kids and had adventures on a…

Oh right, because that makes all the difference for someone who ran a fucking concentration camp. He perhaps didn’t shoot people from his balcony like in the movie.

I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. If you would be willing to share, I would genuinely love to hear whatever parts of her story you would be willing to tell here.

Add this one to the “must read” list - if it goes on like this, it must be astonishing.

I also can highly recommend Jennifer Teege’s “My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me.” The child of a German mother and Nigerian father, she discovers only in her late 30s that her grandfather was Amon Goeth, commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp and the man played by Ralph Fiennes in “Schindler’s List.” He fathered…

My grandmother died a month ago and one of my biggest regrets was not recording her history. I’d planned to do so during her next visit — I was supposed to pick her up from the airport this morning, actually — but she got very sick out of the blue. Of course, her story was nowhere near as riveting as this woman’s, but…

We need a mandatory high school class in workers rights in this country. Like the year that you’re eligible to work you attend a class where they talk about minimum wage, hourly pay and wage theft, sexual harassment, workplace injuries and your rights in regards to them, and all the other crap that can happen on the…

Because one of our major political parties condones this shit. Oh, they’ll talk shit about showing respect for the law and/or people “on the other side of the issue,” but they’re fundamentalist assholes through and through.

Pullman is not a large town, but Pullman’s PP serves not only the student bodies of two public universities (Washington State University in Pullman and the nearby University of Idaho in Moscow, ID), but also the a large swath of the rural Palouse region. I’d be hard-pressed to name a person I knew while attending WSU…

I totally see your point, but under current circumstances I think it does bear repeating. What I mean is, considering the huge push to defund PP clinics everywhere - much of which is working - we need to remind the general public that what they are really defunding are clinics that provide much-needed, everyday health…

In this particular case, extremist is not strong enough. Whoever did this was a terrorist. Plain and simple. It was an attack designed to cause terror. This person is a terrorist. Period.

I’m getting tired of hearing “abortion is only a small part of what Planned Parenthood does” and the classifying of which PP clinics provide abortions and which don’t. Even if Planned Parenthood was an industrial abortion factory that offered all abortions 24/7, it is still a legal procedure. It is still an important…

Is there some afterlife reward in the bible for this kind of act we don’t know about? 72 Nascars or something?

“Wow! You’re Wayne Rooney! You used to be really good!”

The real reason the kid’s mind was blown was that he realized he has as many Premier League goals as Rooney this season.

Kicking goals and catching babies > holding babies and catching foul balls
