Science sells itself. It needs no polish or varnish or manufactured appeal to be attractive to women. To imply otherwise is an insult. To science and to women.
I will use this.
But I will probably also read 50 Shades of Grey, mostly because some libraries want to ban it, and you know, that makes me want to read it more.

There are 5,393 carceral facilities in the United States, places where people are held in local jails, state prisons, federal corrections facilities, immigration detention centers – “anywhere where an individual can be sort of confined and locked up,” explains Josh Begley, “and, in some of the bigger instances, warehoused in one place.”
Begley is a master’s student in the Interactive Telecommunications program at New York University. He wanted to graphically represent what all of this means, to communicate not just the sheer quantity of prisons in America (a number that has been booming for decades), but their volume on our landscape. As part of a class project, he created the oddly beautiful website Prison Map, which offers a mashed-up birds-eye view of all of these places, taken from Google Satellite images.

MUSIC THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD! Everyone should listen to this song right now. Scissor Sisters - Baby Come Home

So let’s be real, while I love me some singing shows, it’s just like politics… cater to the middle of the road. The interesting people never win. The winners are always, though talented, super boring.

We all know Juliet should have won, she’ll work it out.

But no matter what, a female will never win a televised singing show ever again.
