I’m sort of thrown off today. it’s hard to be motivated to bring you science when there’s Reality going on.
When something hits us upside the head like the Boston Marathon explosions, we can feel dizzy, disoriented … left swirling in a dust-storm of rapidly beating hearts, furrowed brows, held breath and shaking heads. That’s how I feel, anyway. I’ve been sitting here, repeatedly muttering statements that begin with “What the f…” and simultaneously cheering and cursing the power of social media to communicate painful news. I keep looking through Twitter and blogs, knowing exactly what I’ll see and don’t want to. So powerful, but so unfiltered. 
It’s not the first time in the past year that this message from Fred Rogers has been appropriate, and that’s perhaps the ultimate tragedy. But he’s right. Every photo of violence and blood in the streets of Boston that we won’t unsee is full of people running in to help. And if we have to look, that’s what we should focus on.
My thoughts are with Boston. 

On a tragic day, we’re encouraged by these words from Joe Hanson, science blogger and host of It’s Okay To Be Smart. Whatever pain you may be experiencing, whatever questions you are facing … look for the helpers.

Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
Honestly, when i read this part of the book i just stared at the page for so long because that’s what i’ve always thought. just because someone’s sadder than you, doesn’t make you any less sad! i just love this quote so much idk
