  1. Many people don't have kids (for various reasons), but every single one of us was a kid once.

    So making it easier for people to care for kids just seems like the decent thing to do, whatever your own life path looks like.

  5. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. I was planning to post a pic this week, but...yeah. That.

    Here, Arya and Wash fluffily express what's rattling around my head right now.

    Or... they might be ready drop a new album of kitten contemplations.

    Whatever else is going on, be kind to each other. May you find the comfort, healing, and support you need. (Afterward, remember to pay such forward.)

  12. 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.

  13. 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. 🖖🏽🙇🏽

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Charles Bridges led the Evangelical party in England. He reads Proverbs 3:27 as an awkwardly practical command: if you have ability, it’s meant to be used, not admired. Teaching the ignorant, caring for the afflicted, forming the young—these aren’t optional hobbies but obligations. Talent, left idle, isn’t neutral. It’s overdue.

    What’s in your tool set?

  17. Morning!

    Back at the Coffee Shop. Quite busy in here today. Perhaps people were attracted in by the Christmas Tree and decorations in the windows 🎄

    Didn’t fancy much food yet, so have done a pay-it-forward.

    HUGE delivery of food supplies just arrived outside, which they are now unloading.

    Nice to be among people instead of WFH on my own.

  18. Morning!

    I discovered yesterday that the community coffee shop that I occasionally work from supports Pay-It-Forward. They even have a donation page on their site for it.

    Awesome! I love stuff like that ♥️

  19. William Secker, a Puritan minister, offers humorous metaphors to show that giving comes naturally to the Christian. Reservoirs of plenty should release their bounty without too much pumping. He says our benevolence should seek the poor, before they seek it.

    Today, do we instinctively have the opposite view— if there are reservoirs of plenty, this is a reason to keep the poor away?

    How can your benevolence seek out the poor?

  20. Hello friends 💜 I’ve been sick lately & things are very tight. I’m trying not to dip into my rent money, but my son & I could really use a small grocery order. I’m hoping to raise about $60 ($50 for food + $10 tips/fees). Any help through Ko-fi—whether donating, boosting, or sending kind thoughts—means so much to us. Thank you 💕

  21. 🥰 Sign on the wall says:

    No One Leaves Hungry

    In a nearby small town there is a small family run restaurant where any person can walk in, take a meal receipt from a board, and the server will without question, cheerfully provide the entire meal for free to the customer.

    Regular customers prepay the meals.

    This is community spirit. 😀

    edit: They also have a table for donations of any type. Often we leave women's products.

  22. Hello friends!

    I mistakenly bought 3x semi permanent Live blue hair dye boxes, thinking they were permanent. If you're in the UK and you want any or all of them, I'll post them to you for free, reply here in the thread, or send me a DM!
