So seeing him getting punched in the face is GLORIOUS.

The show, co-organized by New York-based artist Roxanne Jackson, featured “nasty”-related works priced at $100 or less ― all of which were sold to benefit Planned Parenthood. The pieces were on view from Jan. 12 through Jan. 15, at Queens’ Knockdown Center, and, over the course of three days, sold out, raising $42,500, according to Jackson. "
A couple who missed the last train due to being hammered were freezing on the street when Joey (not pictured), a homeless man, offered them his coat and duvet. Their response is actually really sweet, and you should read it. Yer a good egg, Charlotte.

As a long-haired man who has on more than one occasion been mistaken for a woman, I particularly enjoyed this story: this bad-ass 12 year old who grew his hair for 2 years to donate to his friend with alopecia. Don't bother with the video. American news reporting is the WORST.
This whole story is gorge
This unlikely ballet school, situated in Kibera, Nairobi - a slum home to 700,000 people - has, with the help of a dedicated teacher, helped students become accomplished dancers, winning scholarships to further their education. Over Christmas some performed The Nutcracker at Kenya National Theatre.

This video is actually genuinely tender and gorgeous. I'm terrible at embedding them on this site, so click the link below. It's beautiful.
