5:58

In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes. Were they victims of a cult ritual, a failed experiment, or something even more otherworldly?

Period Progress - One year after the London Marathon with Kiran Gandhi 15:12

cách đây 9 years trước15:12

15:12

One year ago, I ran the London Marathon with my good friend, Kiran Gandhi. Kiran was on her period and it bled through her spandex. Her essay recounting running the marathon on her period without a tampon went viral internationally, and she has since used her experience as a platform to work towards destigmatizing menstruation. A musician and a feminist, Kiran talks about how 2015 was the year of the period and how she plans on furthering the discussion that the London Marathon created about periods into real change in society and cultures where it is often ignored, stigmatized, and shamed. Kiran's essay on running the London Marathon without a tampon: https://medium.com/endless/going-with... Kiran's music (Madame Gandhi): https://soundcloud.com/madamegandhi…
