Before the Noise: Tuesday = Beauty. Irish writer, poet, and artist @daraghfleming says this is his most requested poem — and when you listen, you’ll understand why.It is fierce and tender all at once.These are just a few lines:“If I ever have girls, they’ll be feared by weak men…”“They’ll be gentle and kind while breaking every glass ceiling…”“They’ll take up space and like what they like. They won’t be taught to reduce themselves or hide…”😭😭😭Art that tells the truth. Art that raises the bar. Art that imagines a braver, more beautiful world.Let this one settle in. Also: find and listen to “Believe” and “How We Speak To Each Other”.

Gary Larson cartoon incident
_____________
In 1987 Gary Larson published a Far Side cartoon of two chimpanzees grooming, in which one discovers a blonde hair and says, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[127] The Jane Goodall Institute called the cartoon an "atrocity" in a letter drafted by its lawyers to Larson and his syndicate. Goodall, who was in Africa at the time, later found the cartoon amusing.[128]
She went on to name it her favourite depiction of herself in pop culture.[129] Larson offered profits from sales of a shirt featuring the cartoon to the Jane Goodall Institute.[130]
Goodall wrote the preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy.[131] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals.
In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania.[128] While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.[127][132]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdtwslusias4dnfmqydvudsq/bafkreiab4xelozcgki2mm2n3wwq5vdhbvve7v76enl6wbonavz6gjc2p7u)
