Back In The Day

The Lovers by Jef Joseph Marie Thomas Lambeaux (1852-1908)

So apparently a woman who went on RFK’s podcast and blamed the deaths of her twins on vaccines HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR MURDERING THOSE KIDS.

How is this not front-page news!?

Here’s your citation:

Did you know ?

Cinderella's given real name is Ella (sometimes written as Mary Beth Ella Gertrude or Lucette in older European folklore).

The vulgar variation of her name, "Cinder-slut," stems from a translation choice in a 1921 English version of Charles Perrault's classic French fairy tale (Cendrillon).

In the original French, she was called Culcendron, which roughly translates to "ash arse" or a dirty, slovenly person.

Here is how the translations have broken down across famous versions:

Disney: Her birth name is officially Ella.

Brothers Grimm: She is known as Aschenputtel.

Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes: The Prince literally calls her a "dirty slut".

Historically, during the Victorian era, the word "slut" was commonly used to describe an untidy or dirty woman, rather than having a sexual connotation.

And that's your Karen fact for today Mwah!
