It seems *really* inappropriate to have a celebratory party at a Holocaust museum. I can understand having some special events but I don’t think it would appropriate to have a wedding or birthday bash surrounded by the shoes of Holocaust victims. I really hope that doesn’t happen.

Cool, I’m going gonna go schedule a big ol’ party in front of the gates of Auschwitz. That “Arbeit Machet Frei” arch would make for killer photos ops. Or wait, even better, the colorful strings on the Killing Tree in Cambodia would be absolutely beautiful in pictures. Nothing special about those sites either, right?

A concentration camp is just a building too but no one would think it’s appropriate to host a wedding there. Yes, terrible things have happened just about everywhere but we know exactly what happened in these distinct buildings; it’s not some nebulous spot where “something probably happened.”

Thank you! As I get older, I’m realizing just how inapropropriate it is for US/Southern culture to celebrate plantations. Yes, they are beutiful buildings but if people would just stop for one minute to think about the atrocities that went on there, they would hopefully realize that they weren’t these magical places…

The very first time sleep paralysis happened to me was right after I’d watched that Alien Autopsy “documentary" in the mid-90s. I was 15 or 16. Totally thought I was being abducted by aliens.

I mean, for the majority of cancers, there’s no easy/routine test. Almost all cancers need something better but, relatively speaking, breast cancer detection has one of the better screens.

I tend to agree. I’ve attended a conference im DC at which another attendee, a still nursing mom from Hawaii, had her baby with her all day. That was fine and the mom was considerate and responsive. But, it would be different if she was a speaker. Babies don’t cry all the time but they’re unpredictable. If you are a…

Oh man, there’s nothing better than watching HSN after a night of drinking. Just make sure to keep your credit card far, far away. Or, lazing around in bed on a Saturday morning watching HSN.

FFS, I have GOT to work on my typing skills! I swear I'm not illiterate, folks!

I’m a black woman and I wear my hair natural. I had developed a tendency to wear my hair pulled back in a socially-acceptable pony-tail/puff.

A common Indian beauty treatment is the “face pack”, a face mask made from turmeric, chickpea flour, yogurt, and honey.

I think you’re pretty much obligated to shame them. Don’t deface library property! Ever!

Finally! I thought everyone loved spring and then I read the replies here. What the hell is wrong with people?

What? No. That’s really insulting to 19 year olds adults.

This is not a child. This is a grown man, albeit young, with *two* children, and getting ready to start college courses. I’m not going to celebrate his death but this isn’t in the same category as, like, a 5 year old getting hold of a gun. It’s sad that he died but he was, frankly, doing something incredibly stupid…

THANK YOU!

Yeah, someone posted that it was from a earlier event outside of Ohio. I don’t know if this was the most recent press pic of her or if Ohio = tractor.

Thanks, that mostly makes sense. (The photo makes sense but not sure why they used it for this article.)

She’s in a section near the edge of Cleveland called University Circle. In addition to the university and hospitals, there is an orchestra house (home to an internationally-recognized orchestra) and 5 museums within a 10 minute walk of where she spoke (2 art, one natural history, 1 regional history, and a botanical…

WTF is there a tractor? She was speaking in a realtively major metro area, on a college campus, within a half mile of 2 huge and nationally-recognized medical centers. NO ONE HERE FARMS.
