  1. Backpacks for Fall Learning!📚

    ☀️It truly was a beautiful day, filled with fun games, delicious barbecue, and ice cream at the Corey C. Griffin Foundation's annual Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway in Dorchester. 

    I was proud to volunteer with the Latino Law Enforcement Group of Boston—as a civilian member of LLEGO BOSTON.

    🗣️ Having grown up in Dorchester, it was inspiring to see our diverse community—including civic leaders, families, and key partners like Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers and our program host, Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy—unite to equip our youth with the fresh supplies and confidence they need to start the school year strong.

  8. 26yo, 2nd night on the concrete. Raised in state institutions, worked 54h/week for years, but a nightmare of abuse forced me to walk away to save my soul. Now homeless, back at zero, severe gastritis & anxiety with no meds or food. I’m a fighter, just need a chance.

  9. In today's episode of attempting to do what little I can to pay it forward...

    A trio of teenagers sporting alternative outfits and brightly colored hair (read: clearly flagging their non-conformity with our conservative suburban neighborhood) were having trouble with the self-checkout system at the local grocery store... apparently the system wasn't accepting their crumpled bills.

    The clerk just shrugged when they asked for help, saying there's nothing he could do. They returned to the system which kept rejecting their bills when one grumbled, "It's designed to reject queer money. I'll bet it'd work for a straight person."

    My heart broke... so I asked if I could help. They initially looked at me (an old codger) with obvious suspicion... then brightened when they noticed the pride pin I always wear. They looked at each other, smiled and said, "Sure." So I leaned over, swiped my card, and paid their bill.

    After they gathered their purchases, one of the teenagers turned to me and said, "Hey. Thanks. And thanks for wearing the pin." Then they were on their way... with, I hope, a sense that they aren't alone in this diversity desert.

  10. I rarely post selfies, but in this case I will make an exception.

    There have been many versions of Art Price's Rebel Loon symbol running around since the events in Minneapolis.

    Art was generous enough to place the work under Public Domain which allowed it to be freely shared. Even so, I would suggest getting your Symbol of the Resistance from places that are supporting the community.

    A great choice would be Twin Cities Pride - www.tcpride.org

  11. To the woman behind at Dunkin’ this morning—I hope your day gets better. It may have seemed like I was lingering at the window because I didn’t pull away right after receiving my order and receipt.

    At the same moment the clerk told me your total ($6), I heard you shout, “Are you kidding me?” and saw you wave your fist out the open window. Even so, I went ahead and paid for your order (as you found out).

    I hope your day improves from here. Everyone has bad mornings, bad days, bad weeks - believe me, I know.

  12. The pay they received from the guild, we consider it a bonus. If we enjoy something, we don't ask for anything in return, it's voluntary. If they insist to pay us for the trouble, we accept because we consider it rude not to. And we usually just #PayItForward later. Context & culture. 🖖🏽🙇🏽

  13. This. I used to do this. But now I'm the one who needs help but not a single one of those people I helped cares. 🤷🏽 Maybe I shouldn't have told them to #PayItForward. 😒😝 They probably already paid it forward. ROFLOL. But for real, let's help each other.

  14. As someone who doesn't carry physical cash, I've discovered the concept of Paying-it-Forward to be very useful.

    I do this when I go to the community coffee shop, which I believe is a non profit. Even a couple of those is less than the cost of a coffee from a chain coffee retailer.
