Reposted by Nancy Anne is tired, but committing the sin of empathy
May we raise children
who love the unloved …
And when they're grown &
someone has to speak for those
who have no voice
may they draw upon that
wilder bond, those days of
tending tender things
and be the ones.

![Twitter user Andy Carr (@BespokeChili) shared a screenshot of a paragraph from a Wikipedia page. The user’s comment was “when she escaped from the what”.
The screenshot reads:
Penelope made headlines for her repeated refusal to mate with the zoo’s male platypus, Cecil. The New York Times said that Penelope was not lovesick but “sick of love” when she escaped from the zoo’s platypusary in 1957, never to be seen again.
