While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…

“I want to put macaque into that deer” -the monkey

Are circus peanuts banana flavored? I never knew! Gross.

You have just give me hope for the future. I was 1 of 3 black girls in my class and no one ever called me by my name, but people assumed we had to be friends no matter that we had zero in common.

She was 18. If you give it some thought, you’ll realize that “teenager” is a pretty solid answer to “why would you do something that stupid?”

I feel like everybody forgot about the anti-vaxxing and cleansing toxins by living on juice for serveral days and all that nonsense, very quickly.

I have run out of ways to say “fuck you” to this past year.

Thank you for everything, Carrie. For your bravery and charm and your refusal to shut up or give up. For lifting the veil off mental illness. For refusing to be ashamed. And most of all for showing my daughter that being a princess isn’t just about finding a prince. You will be so missed.

I’m surprised his sons weren’t on hand for the tree cutting so they could proudly pose with its lifeless trunk.

People’s priorities about what constitutes “looking good” are so entirely out of whack. As long as you’re thin, who cares if you have sores, or no hair, or rotting teeth, have turned into a medieval gargoyle, are twitching with anxiety or drugs, and/or are a horrible person?

So true. I had a close friend pass away from cancer and I was horrified by how everyone complimented her appearance because she had become so thin. Freaked me out that a lot of the memorial pictures were from when she gaunt and could barely join in activities before becoming exhausted, versus her before diagnosis…

Is Penn State hiring?

I am SO relieved! This whole situation has just been a nightmare of unfairness and abuse of power reminiscent of the bad old days of the civil rights movement, complete with water cannons. And when I learned that the pipeline was originally planned to go near some white town, and they got it moved because they were…

My (admittedly odd) family did Dollar Store Christmas one year and it was very popular. Everyone got everyone a gift—but it had to come from the dollar store. You could get something not at a dollar store but it had to cost at most, a dollar. There were about 10 of us, so that got us all done for $10. It was one…

He’s currently holed up in a tower with pasty gross dudes whispering in his ears. He is Saruman the Orange

Sister, you’re not the only one. I say this with complete sincerity —- I was less anxious during cancer treatment.

So the guy perpetrates the violence and then blames the woman for not preventing it? (Checks all of human history.) YUP! CHECKS OUT!

I was wondering the same thing. His schedule in the last week is bizarre as its ever been. He’ll be up here in Michigan, too, a state he will likely lose by double-digits in the end. His wife is going to suburban Philly.
