IMPORTANT: consider this, if your OTP was the couple in the cute ass after surgery video, who would be the one high on meds that doesn’t recognize the other but still thinks they’re the most gorgeous thing they’ve ever seen.

uh… news stations are kind of brushing over the fact that 20 year old deandre joshua was found dead last night only yards from where michael brown died. he was shot in the head and set on fire… they’re blaming it on the riots but no one really knows what happened and it sounds a lot like a hate crime
He was the best friend of the #1 witness of Michael Brown’s murder and this was not a coincidence. Now is the time to be very very afraid

Jessica Dunkins, 29, woke up Tuesday to find out she no longer had a job.
It happened abruptly. On Monday evening, a grand jury in Clayton, Missouri chose not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the August 9 killing of Michael Brown. As demonstrators converged on the quiet suburb of Ferguson, a few started smashing windows, and a long stretch of West Florissant Avenue was soon engulfed in flames.
Dunkins got a call that night from her boss at the Prime Beauty Supply store. “People are trying to break in,” he told her. That was the last thing she heard, until she walked to the corner of Florissant and Chambers the next morning and found this where her job used to be:
“I don’t have time for shit like this,” she told Mic. “This is so disrespectful to the Mike Brown family … It’s not right, it’s not right.”
Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. Her hands quivered when she asked to borrow an extra pair of gloves. “Who all’s going to help with some money so I can pay my rent?” she went on. “[Wilson’s] still not going to jail … and [now] I don’t have no job.”
There are hundred of stories like this in Ferguson this week. All of them are heartbreaking, and all elicit wishes that the verdict had come down differently. But as anticipation turned into devastation on Monday night, the media’s fixation on looting, rioting and destruction left little room for what’s really been happening in Ferguson, since long before the CNN vans showed up.
Here’s what the media isn’t telling you about the protests in Ferguson
does anyone know of a fund that can help people in this situation

women have more graduate degrees in neuroscience than men, but less than a third of faculty are made up of women
institutional bias against women in the sciences is SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN
so is harassment and sexual assault
encouraging young girls to join the sciences is not going to solve this problem - this is an INSTITUTIONAL and CULTURAL PROBLEM in the sciences
