Not to be That Pedantic Ranger but the only places in the NPS that are *verifiably* haunted are the 1970s government housing trailers

So most national parks bring in rangers on a seasonal basis--- we're hired in late spring and fired in the fall. These rangers need places to live while we're working these 4-5 month stints, so parks typically provide some kind of housing. At best, these are bleak modular builds or dormitories that you share with other rangers. You bring a strand of Christmas lights and a house plant and just make the best of it.

At their worst, they are mid-century nightmares that are actively trying to kill you. They should have been condemned in the '90s, but there's no money to replace them because most maintenance funds are only earmarked for infrastructure used by the public. Every unit I've ever lived in comes with a warning about lead and arsenic in the pipes, and there's always a cursory checkbox like, "I have been told my water is poisoned" that you sort of wearily tick off. Some have basements that you're not allowed to go in because there's no secondary escape. In Glacier my neighbor found a straight-up dead raven on her hot water heater. This past summer another colleague found a hand-drawn pentagram in his basement with a single, unopened can of Coors Lite in the middle. Food burns because your oven temperature is no longer calibrated. Linoleum sheds when you vacuum it. Most of them list or slope in strange ways, and there are always closets that you just know not to open (see my previous hashtag about the hole in the sub-floor). They always have pest problems. This summer I was dozing on my couch and a mouse ran *over my forehead.* Sometimes you hear cracker shots from law enforcement as they try to haze the bears away.

But you put up with it all, because ultimately you love your job and it's all kind of part of it, you know? Crappy housing has been part of park ranger life since its inception. You're part of a legacy. Hundreds of other rangers have spilled grease on that carpet inexplicably installed in your kitchen. Their spirits linger in those liminal spaces behind the refrigerator, quietly whispering, "don't turn on the oven vent--it has pine martens."

It genuinely upsets me that there are people who call this animation and voice acting bad, there’s so much heart and soul on display in just this clip alone

At first glance: ‘lol this is going to be one of those hilariously cheap animations’

30 seconds in: ‘…Oh my god this is fantastic’

VIDEO: Living Under Israel’s Missiles

Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.

More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”
