April was Autism Awareness Month.
To salute this campaign Sarah took a look at the many ways martial arts has been beneficial to those on the autism spectrum.

Kimbo Slice
Street fighter-turned-pro fighter Kimbo Slice’s career had a somewhat cartoonish character to it before his sudden death at age 42. But there was nothing cartoonish about his even, thoughtful interactions in the autistic community.
Sarah wrote about this side of Slice for Fightland.

Crash
For a bunch of otherwise normal, polite people us Canadians make some way fucked up and perverted films.
A side-effect of making these lurid films is that they in turn impact impressionable young minds.
Like Sarah’s.
Who basically learned a whole lot of unwholesome things about sex from Canadian films.
She wrote about these things for Vice.

Doobie Brothers
The Doobie Brothers are going to be doing a thing when they’re on tour this summer where they’ve teamed up with charitable organization Love Hope Strength to help find bone marrow donors.
The band’s gesture has already saved at least one life and they’re hoping to save more.
I spoke to band original member Patrick Simmons about how charity has informed the band’s entire career.
