Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds salutes John Wells, an alternative energy and sustainability researcher located in the desert area of Terlingua in SW Texas. John set out a bucket of water with a GoPro in the bottom in order to see what sorts of animals would stop by for a drink. 

Because sometimes what you need most is to watch a variety of thirsty animals getting a refreshing drink from the perspective of the water they’re all drinking.

“Everybody loves water in the desert. I was pleasantly surprised during the edit to see that George made an appearance. I know him from all the other rabbits because of the tiny notch in his ear. A burro just happened to come by in time to be included. Ben went against the script and decided to just nudge the bucket. You can lead a steer to water but you can’t make him drink. Note: The swimming bees were rescued.”

Please help Tami and Lee Bad Hand

Jenna and her 4 year old daughter, Payton Jo were in a horrific car accident. Sadly, Jenna did not survive but her daughter did. Payton Jo is in critical condition at the Sanford Children’s hospital in Sioux Falls. Jenna’s parents Tami and Lee Bad Hand are with Payton Jo now and will be planning Jenna’s wake and funeral soon. I know there have been many people asking how they can help! We figured this would be the best way for all to help. Any donations for travel/food/funeral expenses will be greatly appreciated in this tragic time. 

Boost and donate if you can.

Oh so that’s why PBS got its funding cut.

Your professor will not be happy with you if he says the Stanford Prison Experiment shows human nature and you say it shows the nature of white middle class college-aged boys.

Like he will not be happy at all.

[cannon-fannon]

For real though. That experiment. Scary shit.

[hollowedskin]

This reminds me of a discussion that I read once which said Lord of the Flies would have turned out a hell of a lot differently if it was a private school of young girls (who are expected to be responsible and selfless instead), or a public school where the children weren’t all from an inherently entitled, emotionally stunted social class (studies have shown that people in lower socioeconomic classes show more compassion for others). Or that the same premise with children raised in a different culture than the toxic and opressive British Empire and it’s emphasis on social hierarchy and personal wealth and status. And that what we perceive as the unchangable truth deep inside humanity because of things like Lord of the Flies and the Stanford Prison Experiment, is just the base truths about what happens when you remove any accountabilty controlling one social group with an overwhelming sense of entitlement and an inability to feel compassion.

[lady-feral]

I will always reblog this.

[shinykari]

I just wanna say that the Lord of the Flies was explicitly written about high-class private school boys to make this exact point. Golding wrote Lord of the Flies partially to refute an earlier novel about this same subject: The Coral Island by R.M. Ballantyne. Golding thought it was absolutely absurd that a bunch of privileged little shits would set up some sort of utopia, so his book shows them NOT doing that.

Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.
