Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family?
The betrayal of Anne Frank, her family, and the others hiding in the secret annex is one of the enduring mysteries of the Holocaust. Despite decades of investigation, no definitive answer has ever been found.

What It Feels Like to Be Forever Alone
There’s this moment I keep coming back to. I’m on a crowded city bus, wedged into one of those pairs of molded plastic seats next to a girl reading a paperback.

Rabies is, without exaggeration, one of the deadliest diseases known to humankind. It’s not because it kills millions every year (thankfully, modern medicine and vaccination have kept numbers relatively low).

Some guy running down a city street, his blazer flapping behind him like a cape, leaping over puddles, throwing a football in a conference room, inexplicably kickboxing in an elevator. And the caption is always the same: “Hi Quality. Athletic Fit. Wrinkle-Free. Machine Washable. Professional.”

What’s It Like To Date Some With Borderline Personality Disorder?
You don’t walk into a relationship with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder knowing that’s what it is. You just think they feel more.

What Was Life Like Before the Internet?
When I was a little kid, and I asked my parents a non-obvious question about the human body or biology, their answer would be “Ask your uncle Paulo next time we see him. He’s a doctor”. Other questions about various topics would get “Let’s call up grandma and ask her; She’s a teacher”, or “Let’s see if the encyclopedia has anything about this”, or “Ask your teacher if, during recess, you can go ask the librarian at school”.
