For women, getting angry is socially unacceptable, even when the anger is over violence, discrimination, misogyny, and other forms of oppression. Anger is unacceptable because angry women are women in touch with their passion and power, especially in relation to men, which threatens the entire patriarchal order. It’s unacceptable because it forces men to confront the reality of male privilege and women’s oppression and their involvement in it, even if only as passive beneficiaries. Women’s anger challenges men to acknowledge attempts to trivialize oppression with “I was only kidding.” And women’s anger is unacceptable to men who look to women to take care of them, to prop up their need to feel in control, and to support them in their competition with other men. When women are less than gracious and good-humored about their own oppression, men often feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, at a loss, and therefore vulnerable.

Imagine this big guy coming in your room for a little snack. At Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, Kenya it’s encourage for endangered Rothschild giraffes to stick their heads through open windows for a piece of mango or a tickle!

“Of all courtship rituals in the animal kingdom, the most spectacular by far is that of the Bald Eagle. The male and female climb to dizzying heights and then join in free fall, plummeting toward Earth, locked in each other’s embrace, separating only at the very last moment.”

A doodle from New York! This couple was walking along holding hands when their path was blocked by an old man with an ice cream cone. Instead of letting go of each others’ hands, they London-Bridged over him and he squatted down to let them pass.

Let me tell you something you haven’t learnt yet, something you learn only by living awhile. As you get older, you find that life begins to wear you down. Doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, it happens. Experience, time, events - they all conspire against you to steal away your energy, to erode your confidence, to make you question things you wouldn’t have given a second thought to when you were young. It happens gradually, a chipping away that you don’t even notice at first, and then one day it’s there. You wake up and you just don’t have the fire anymore…Then you have a choice. You can either give in to what you’re feeling, just say “Okay, enough is enough.” and be done with it, or you can fight it. You can accept that every day you’re alive you’re going to have to face it down, that you’re going to have to say to yourself that you don’t care what you feel, that it doesn’t matter what happens anyway, that you’re going to do what you have to because otherwise you’re defeated and life doesn’t have any real purpose left. When you can do that, when you can accept the wearing down and the eroding, then you can do anything. How did I manage to keep going out nights? I just told myself I didn’t matter all that much - that those in here mattered more. You know something? It’s not so hard really. You just have to get past the fear.

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.
