• You know the voice of Harry Shearer: He plays Mr. Burns, Flanders, and 20 other characters on The Simpsons. And after 26 years of working on the show, Shearer has decided to retire. [Guardian]
• Here’s an interesting look at trichotillomania, a condition that causes people to pull out their hair. [The Atlantic]
• More people moved during the foreclosure crisis of the past few years than during the Great Migration. Interesting. [Colorlines]
• The group Women of 20s is campaigning to replace ol’ genocidal Andrew Jackson on the $20 with a woman. Harriett Tubman won their online poll of who should replace Jackson—in this video, Jay Smooth talks about why putting Tubman on money would be a complicated honor. [Fusion]
