"Malala Yousafzai has sent you a message."
No, she didn't. Well, not personally. It was because I'd signed something by her calling for the release of the Nigerian teenagers who were kidnapped by that anti-school (or at least anti-girls-going-to-school) terrorist group; if you're going to be a terrorist, I say, at least terrorize for an interesting cause. School is cool. Well, it can be.
In any case, Yousafzai is someone I admire. You can talk about celebrities throwing their star power around for causes that simply make them look good, but when someone survives getting shot in the head and keeps on with the activism that got them shot in the first place, I think they deserve that power. There are many like her who aren't so well known, maybe because they've died violently as she almost did, but she's here, and safe(r) living in the UK, and "Change.org" is using her name to get my attention on an email, which I might classify as slightly annoying, but her work seems mainly for good so I can ignore the annoying part. Or use it for rambling blathers!
