    Beautiful, Facts, and Memes: Mysterious Photos Of
 Unexplainably 'Crooked Forest' lin
 Poland
Sometimes the strangest sights are found in nature. In this case, 400 pine trees in the northwest of Poland appear to be almost normal, but they are not. If you look at the base of these trees, you might feel like you’ve just entered a strange mystical fairy tale. All of the trees have the same northward 90-degree bend at the base of their limb. Known as the “Crooked Forest,” this unique site remains an unexplained mystery. Every tree in the Crooked Forest has the same haunting bend, but despite bent beginnings, all of the trees have grown to be tall and seemingly unhampered by their C shape curves. Some experts believe that the trees grew like this because they incurred some sort of damage to the tip and along some side branches. Trees are resilient, and so they continued to thrive, relying on the one branch they had left to take over complete function and grow upwards. Whatever damage occurred to one tree must have happened to them all because they remain uniform in deformity. The Crooked Forest is around 80 years old. It is estimated that the damage that made them look how they do today occurred when the trees were about 7 years old. This would have been before the Second World War reached Poland. Which helps to explain the most popular theory about how the trees came to be crooked. As the story goes, in 1930 a group of farmers planted these trees, intentionally damaging the base in order to create some sort of product, perhaps uniquely shaped furniture. The world may never know if it’s true because the farmers were unable to finish their work after the invasion on Poland during World War II dismantled their plans. ⇒Love ❤️, flow 💬, serve ✨⇐ . . . . . . . . . . . . . nature habitat geyser science amazing facts video natural italy sand wow instatag facts instafun instavideo videos spiritual beautiful london amazingfact memes mindblown fact magic insta sun trees tree poland Credits: 📷 Kilian Schönberger

 this is gonna be an extremely unpopular
 opinion so bare with me, but i don't think
 children should be vaccinated unless they
 really absolutely want to be and if they grow up
 into adults who still don't want to be vaccinated
 then so be it
 kids are too young to fully grasp what
 vaccination does to you, and i don't mean that
 in a "they'll make you autistic and die" way. i
 mean they don't understand what they're
 setting themselves up for in the future. (shots
 are pretty traumatic for children too, but that's
 for another day.) if a child is too young to
 consent to sex or medical transition if they're
 trans, they're definitely too young to consent to
 a vax
 i haven't had any contact with my family for
 quite some time now, so i have a hard time
 knowing my medical history, especially with my
 lack of health insurance and a move to a
 different country.
 because of that, i live with the constant fear
 that i might have been vaccinated against
 rabies. my family was extremely poor and had
 spotty health insurance but its hard to say. but
 ts fucking heartbreaking to know i might never
 be fully rabid because my parent might have

 rabies. my family was extremely poor and had
 spotty health insurance but its hard to say. but
 its fucking heartbreaking to know i might never
 be fully rabid because my parent might have
 vaccinated me as a child, when i was too young
 to know, too young to have a say in it

 how many other kids are there, just like me?
 how many adults have grown up miserable
 because they've been vaccinated against their
 genetic disposition for a certain disease? its
 practically eugenics and it makes me fuckin
 sick to my stomach. there are babies RIGHT
 NOW getting vaxxed bc "thats what's healthy
 for them" and their parents have no idea how
 much grief they're causing right now
 so yea, maybe stop vaxxing your kids??

 A day before Karla Estrada went public, I notified our
 Board of Directors about Ivan Ceja's transgressions
 and demanded his resignation. I did my due diligence
 to listen and talk to all the affected individuals (Karla,
 Denea, Yadira, etc) and gather as much evidence as
 possible. It's been a long and challenging process.
 Since Tuesday, I have been putting enormous internal
 pressure on Ivan Ceja (@ivncja, Executive Director)
 and Francisco Barragan (our Board Chairman) to
 cooperate with me and Rebecca Medina (our other
 board member) and take this seriously! Due to the
 complexity of the issue, I have been advised not to
 post on the UndocuMedia platform as this can be
 used agaisnt me (I hope y'all understand). Upon
 learning about Ivan's transgressions against Karla, I
 confronted Ivan and have exhausted all internal
 procedures to hold him accountable. I support and
 stand with Karla, Denea, Yadira, and any other person
 that might come out. I support their public calls for
 accountability and change. This is necessary
Repost @JustinoMora1, co-founder of UndocuMedia: This is what transparency and accountability look like. This is a difficult and challenging process; however, it is needed in order to bring about justice, allow us to grow as individuals and as a community, hold people accountable, and create a stronger movement. . Please read the testimonies in this order: 👉🏽 Karla (@karla_estrada_222): bit.ly-KarlaStatement . 👉🏽 Denea (@creole_goddess94): bit.ly-DeneaStatement . 👉🏽 Yadira (@ywm_88): bit.ly-YadiraStatement . @UndocuMedia is bigger than me and Ivan Ceja. UndocuMedia is a philosophy and a large community of loving, caring, and passionate individuals. UndocuMedia is about YOU ALL! Thanks to our tens of thousands of dedicated followers, we have stopped people's deportations, assisted in natural disasters, advocated for immigration issues, etc. Rebecca Medina (our other Board Member) and I ask for your patience and support. We won't stay silent and stand with Karla, Denea, Yadira, and others. . Please let others know.

 It's like in that 'toy story' period of development kids are
 all kind of high key convinced that their stuffed animals
 lead secret lives when they're not looking and that
 they're sleeping on top of a child-eating monster every

 Also, in an interview, he said that Coraline was partially
 based on a story his not yet 6 year old daughter would
 tell him
 SAGAL: No. I mean, for example, your incredibly
 successful young adult novel "Coraline" is about a
 young girl in house in which there's a hole in the wall
 that leads to a very mysterious and very evil world. So
 when you were a kid, is that what you imagined?

 that had been divided in two at one point, which meant
 that one room in our house opened up onto a brick wall

 a story for my daughter Holly, at the time she was a 4

 seen me writing all day. So she'd come and climb on my

 Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey.
 What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of
 the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the
 dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination.
 What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill
 the dragon." - G. K. Chesterton
