  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. CW: (NEEDS & OFFERS SYSTEM)... THINGS TO DO... FOR YOU?

    Trusting people to help more than the Trumps of the world?

    ==================================
    LIST TO CONSIDER WRITING
    for yourself and others to help:
    ==================================

    NEEDS ➡️ Any personal problems / challenges / 'I could never know how to get to this point?'
    (as a need)

    People can send offers (things they might do daily anyway!)

    OFFERS ➡️ what you like doing daily already and maybe separately what you want to do more of (even if it's a bit far off now - as a dream / low chance of it happening but as "need" you need to keep working on it in doing "something"
    (as an offer)

    Thanks - this helps see more your side and offer you a checklist as yes / no / maybe on your side after...

    ================================

    SHORT INTRO TO THAT...

    AND LONGER IF NOT HAPPY WITH THAT...

    ("things to do for you" in both meanings of that to do yourself and for others to help with that list which becomes part of the #ecosystem of helping itself for "US" as over more-human people, not just alone in a cold system.

    So talking and doing more together IS FEEDING our own "system" and #mutuality grows as part of sending that to the world / #fediverse (even if that's just helping good people one-way and not wanting anything back).

    Could be like "ok done" !

    CONSIDER WRITING A LIST

    (optionally more writing below if you don't see why saying and doing things is a better #ecosystem of trust rather than not trusting the Trump(s) out there surely not going to do it! )

    ================================

    LONGER / EXPLAINED MORE:

    People often don't get that when I ask what their problems / things-to-do are, because they think it's only their problem and not common relativity / systematic cause / humanistic things systems ignore) AND so whichever way you go or do things you MUST listen to people's things (or do the humanistic things) because the system or #Trump or whoever leader IS NOT GOING TO DO IT or listen! (shock horror :blobshock: at ALL the people on these #Zuckerberg / #Musk / #Bezos etc hashtags #begging / #hoping for top leaders to stop extracting / plundering from planet / people).

    ⛔ Stop that waiting. ⛔
    ️ ➡️ ✉ Send needs / offers ✉ ⬅️

    So either way it's up to us to clean our laundry and even me to clean your boxer shorts! (I mean at least AIM to do something about everything and help ourselves/you/me do it alone after initial spark given at the start or just plain #handholding and saying 'done' at the end. It's not for everyone but I'm here for you.

    #Tech people often don't get this unless it's like installing Linux for people... but it's similar in all parts of life...
    So handholding in other ways means "I'm shit at this so feel free to do it for me and I'll see what I can do for others in same way"

    #Payitforward style (and developing people not just tech)

    I tend only to think in the now and 'me and you' and once I / we find similar I think that is the way. (just two more people honestly is enough... there's plenty <of our own work> to do (not the work of others / bad people).

    The whole design of 'giving' anything to people as it is to take more from them in the end and so that's why everything you do away from people will cancel out the benefits or usage (even food) as the level / growth of people stagnate and systems become more killer efficient. It's Mind over Material Matter (we did enough Material and now people 'matter' more).

    So lay our you lifetime's worth of 'things to do' and 'shit to fix' and hope someone will come along to fix it :)

    And I'm available to fix your stuff or get it done seriously if you think you'll never do it (seriously seriously I can sorting text / files / editing / rearranging / donkey work if it helps get you to step 2 or 10 like a good garage clean out helps sort all other projects after that's done. Put your shame aside, Trump is winning meantime #friendships are not made (or even our shit is not done as fast as their #ENshitification actually spelt with two T's in the middle / 3 in total #ENshittification ).

    DO IT NOW / ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST OF #FreeSchool #THINGSTODO

    Boost / bookmark BUT don't forget (which is why anything now is better than nothing and I'll have a look)

  21. Top #DiversityEquityInclusion officer for #Nike sentenced to 5 years in #federalprison for nearly $5 million in alleged #ConArtist #kickback #fraud #schemes

    She went from working at MTV/Viacom and #CoxCommunications and became a "Global #Diversity Program Manager" at #Facebook, where the #ERG exec issued millions in #Venmo, #PayPal and Ca$h App payments thru accounts of friends and relatives.

    #Meta, determined her $4.9m #embezzlement schemes began within weeks of joining the #SocialMedia empire, who'd reputedly found her through posts on #LinkedIn, and employed her for 4 years before she moved in to #grift Nike. The Oregon based sportswear mfg giant, who also discovered fiscal irregularities under her aegis, told prosecutors her “complete lack of #accountability or #remorse was incredibly disappointing,”

    The attached video shows Barbara Furlow-Smiles describing her inclusive #PayItForward #philosophy while engaging with young #JobSeekers before she was #terminated by #FacebookHQ.

  22. 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 💕
