The Wonders of the Whoniverse

Green, who lost her parents young, was raised by her aunt and uncle. While still at school, her aunt died from cancer, and three months later her uncle was diagnosed with cancer, too. Green went on to earn her degree in physics at Alabama A&M University, being crowned Homecoming Queen while she was at it, before going on full scholarship to University of Alabama in Birmingham to earn her Masters and Ph.D. There Green would become the first to work out how to deliver nanoparticles into cancer cells exclusively, so that a laser could be used to remove them, and then successfully carry out her treatment on living animals.

her studies thus far are only on head and neck cancers, but her theory is this treatment platform would work on all types of cancers. But needs $$$$ to keep doing research.

It seems the issue is how to target the cancer cells and in her head and neck cancer tests, she had success in mice by utilizing fda approved immunotherepy antibodies to deliver nano particles to mark the tumor. Then she could proceed to blast the shit out of cancer with fuckin lasers.

she was ready or prepared when opportunity arose

I’m so proud of her. I wish more young black women would go into science.

Yes!!!!! If she really does cure cancer, watch her name & face disappear behind some white man.

Don’t let it happen! She deserves all the credit.

I love that she’s got big hair buns in that picture with the white lab coat. She’s like Princess Leia, slaying cancer cells with lasers/light sabers.

Two!

Four!

Six!

Eight!

Who do we appreciate?!

Every single person involved in a theater production, not just the main stars becuase without the ensemble, stage/tech crew, orchestra, directors, choreographers, costume designers, and make up artists there would be no show!!!!

And the House staff who are there to make sure your theatre experience is the best it can be.

Here’s Proof That Tween Girl Halloween Costumes Are Way Too Sexed-Up [x]

This is starting to worry me.

Don’t forget that these are Tweens. They aren’t teens or adults. They’re 9-12 year olds. These are kids that are still in elementary school. A good majority of them haven’t even hit puberty yet. If that doesn’t bother you, There’s a problem.

This is gross 

so gross. so scary.

Obligatory October reblog. This post is becoming a halloween tradition

making you horny and making you smile

are my two favourite things

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.  

This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?

A couple of weeks ago I was on a night out and went to a cash machine where there were lots of homeless people sitting. One of them told me he was saving for a sleeping bag, which was £5, so I gave him the £15 I’d taken out, and all my friends said I was silly for doing so and should have bought him the sleeping bag myself, because he’d just spend it on alcohol. That’s what I was gonna buy with it ffs, the guy asked even me if I wanted the change back but I told him to keep it; no matter what he spends it on I hope it helped him out just a little bit

This is sad af.

I’m disgusted

I didn’t realize I wasn’t re blogging this every time I saw it, but I see it frequently and think about it often. Just yesterday I quoted it. I hope you all reblog this for others to see.

if you see this, even if we never talk, PayPal me $600

May you always have enough for rent.

and enough left over for food and transportation

And your bills.

Amen.

And some just for yourself and personal needs

And some for unexpected emergencies and paid drills

And some to help those who deserve it

And enough to build your savings

And enough for small happy things to keep your sanity up.

And enough to treat others or yourself without feeling guilty

Just a head’s up, when meat eaters say things like “I’m glad you’re not like most vegans you’re cool about it” what they really mean is “I’m glad you’re silent about animal cruelty so I can eat animals without having to think about it.”

No actually what they likely mean is “I’m glad you’re not like PETA and compare women’s bodies to beef and pork” or “I’m glad you’re not the type of asshole who blames poor people for not being able to afford healthy vegan foods instead of getting upset at the grocery chains who throw out tons and tons of perfectly good produce”

see also: “im glad youre not one of those vegans who compares the meat industry to the holocaust”. anti-semetic, sexist, racist, and classist rhetoric is unfortunately quite common among vegans and it’s disingenuous as hell to act like having an issue with that is silencing vegans.

Also “I’m glad you aren’t one of those vegans who thinks I should put my health on the line”

“I’m glad you don’t harass me over my life choices because you’re a decent fucking human being who realizes that throwing humans under the bus so you can have an ego trip is a shitty thing to do”

Also: I’m glad you’re not one of those vegans who lies about what’s in food they’re feeding me when I ask about my allergens so that I don’t have to risk literally dying

“i’m glad you’re not literally blaming global climate change on me, personally, for liking cheese while corporations dump pollution directly into the ozone by the ton because it saves them a few dollars”

“i’m glad you’re not getting on a moral high horse about animal cruelty while ignoring the human rights abuses that go into farming your vegan faves like quinoa”

THAT LAST ONE

“I’m glad you don’t shame me for literally being allergic to meat supstitutes.”

“I’m glad you don’t ignore the environmental strain caused by deforestation growing soy, almonds and other meat subtitutes after they were popularized by the corporations taking advantage of the healthfood and vegan movement.”
