Syrian teenage refugee on the run - 6 months later. I love happy endings.

I hope you've already seen this, but if not: Samantha Bee on Syrian refugees. There is some midlevel swearing in there but Samantha Bee is the best and so is this segment. Can't wait to see more.

This woman wrote up the details of her husband's strange medical condition (a chemical burn on his hand that turned into so much more) in the hopes that someone brilliant will be able to help them figure out what's going on. There are some graphic photos at the end of the post - she has a warning up, but due to my scrolling habits, I saw the photos before the warning. So scroll gingerly.
