On this day, 13 January 1943 19-year-old Ukrainian anti-Nazi resistance fighter Juliana Matveevna Gromova was executed by German forces. Arrested 3 days before, she endured brutal torture as the Nazis tried to force her to disclose the names of her comrades.
They beat her, whipped her with metal, burned her with hot irons, flayed and mutilated her, tore out her hair and rubbed salt in her wounds but she refused to betray any of her comrades. And she raised the spirits of her fellow detainees by reciting poetry. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1323409834510830/?type=3

Yeah so the Big Think is literally owned by big oil. They’re making shit up so people feel too exhausted to fight for any change. Ignore this kind of environmental nihilism, all it does it help the rich avoid change.
Not only that, it’s literally in the driver’s training manual that it is safer to stop your car and sleep on the side of the road than drive tired. Driving tired is as bad as driving drunk. It is actually a DANGER to make sleeping in your car illegal.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
