May 31 2016 – Collin Kennedy, who is a cancer patient, used expanding spray foam to disable a parking meter at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg where he gets his treatment. He says the fees are a tax on the sick.

direct action

I did a quick google search to see where he is now and it seems that his fight with cancer is near its end. His gofundme to fulfill his dying wishes and pay for funeral costs has only raised a fraction of its goal in 3 months, I’m sure anything that could be spared would be appreciated by him and his family.

An Autistic Adult Perspective of Early Childhood Experiences of Intensive Individualised Interventions

spaceautie:

A Scottish researcher is looking for autistic adults who have undergone intensive interventions (e.g. ABA) to tell of their experiences first hand, in order to give a truer perspective of the effects of these “therapies”.

You can either complete a questionnaire, take a Skype interview or both.

i never thought i would say this about a fish but wow what an asshole

Science side of tumblr, can I get an explanation?

@elodieunderglass

(Science lecturer voice) and here we observe a fish just being a real jerk

Student: but why

Me: asshole behavior is a conserved trait in chordates

Based on “I went to the Shed Aquarium on Saturday” I think the fish digging out his front yard is an engineer goby. The other guy might (?) be another goby with a different nesting pattern. That or they’re competing for space.

(Also the engineer goby is genetically not a goby but eh, fish.)

This is really, really, really important.

I wish this was talked about more. Sometimes maladaptive coping mechanisms are just embarrassing and awkward, but sometimes they are things which are genuinely cruel and manipulative. They may have helped you survive when you were trying to endure abuse, but they aren’t appropriate to every conflict/desire to reach a goal you encounter.
