Because news cameras are apparently only there if looting and protests are mentioned, here are some shots from the march for peace in Charleston yesterday. In case you missed it, thousands marched to Ravenel Bridge, holding hands in prayer and unity. Yet this doesn’t make news, but an interview with the killer’s friend does.

“"I’ll write this all down for you,” I said. “I’ll put it in a story.”
I don’t know if that’s what he wanted to ask me, but it’s something everybody wants – for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters.“The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

So you’re telling me a white terrorist responsible for the killing of 9 churchgoers is able to be detained safely and will probably be afforded a trial, but children like Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin and Aiyana Stanley-Jones (none of which committed any grievance other than existing while black) absolutely needed to be executed to the point that none of the officers responsible for their murders were convicted of any crimes?
what a broken world we live in

Fascinating chart from The Economist (not famed for its liberal bias) showing how already-rich universities are receiving the most gifts from donors.
In the accompanying article, they write, “Philanthropy may be tilting America’s higher education system even further in favour of the rich.”
I don’t think there’s any maybe about it.
Harvard is (obviously) a great school. And because Harvard has an endowment of $32 billion, they can afford to give out a lot of scholarship aid; in fact, over 70% of their students receive aid; the amount is calculated based on family income and assets.
But at least according to Harvard’s financial aid calculator, you have to be ungodly rich not to be in that >70% of kids who receive scholarships. Like, if your parents make $150,000 a year, you personally have a $100,000 trust fund, and your parents have $1,000,000 of assets (not including their home), you get a scholarship.
The ~28% of Harvard students who don’t get merit scholarships are RICHER than that. Basically, over a quarter of Harvard student are in the top 5% of Americans when it comes to income and wealth.
Meanwhile, as seen in the chart above, less-rich schools attract less donation money, which leads to smaller endowments and fewer scholarship dollars, which means more students have to take out loans, which only increases the U.S.’s already untenable economic inequality.
the world is terrifying.

DAMN.
“it’s so aggressive and so polarizing – the word just puts a bad taste in my mouth” is another reason we need feminism.
