i scarcely think that there is any hope for human beings.
and then, i am nineteen again. i am ripping the hello kitty charm off my pink croc and handing it to the girl behind the glass display. i hand it to her because she looks at my hello kitty tattoo in awe. and because she really thinks about it when i ask her who her favorite character is. and because her favorite character is hello kitty for the same reasons she is mine.
in the moment, everything moves slowly when she smiles. crooked, yet perfect teeth stare back at me. and all i can think of is how she is beautiful. and how she is happy.
this is when i know that people are good. because i am good.
and then i start to wonder if anyone would ever do that for me.

Honestly there's such power in being nice to people. I know there's been times where someone has taken less than five minutes out of their day to be genuinely kind to me and it has entirely unfucked my day. Knowing I could do that for someone, being a helping hand when they expect it the least, feels like magic.

In February 2000, Mike Huddleston was traveling for a training. He had flown from Maryland to San Francisco and needed to get to a rental car agency. But because of a degenerative neuromuscular condition that weakens his muscles, he wouldn't be able to climb the stairs of the shuttle bus.
Instead, the car agency sent someone to pick him up. But as he was walking outside to meet them, he fell. And due to his condition, he couldn't get up.
"I remember sitting there on my butt, in the middle of the sidewalk in front of San Francisco Airport, thinking, 'What in the world am I going to do?'"
Due to his condition, Huddleston needed something to push up on, like a bench or a chair. But there was nothing around that fit that description.

"[Then] out of nowhere, all of a sudden, I hear in my left ear, 'What can I do to help?'"
Huddleston turned his head to see a man in his late thirties standing behind him.
"I said, 'Are you kidding?' He said, 'No. What can I do to help you, man?'"
Huddleston described what the man could do to help him get off the ground. Once he got him up, the man fetched Huddleston's baggage, which had rolled a few feet away when he fell.
"He asked me if I was good and I said, 'I am because of you. So thank you very much.' He just said, 'No problem,' and turned and walked away."
This encounter struck Huddleston. Not just because of the man's kindness, but also because of the way he offered that kindness. His unsung hero didn't step in and start helping when he saw Huddleston on the ground. He took a moment to ask Huddleston how he could help.
"Different people who need assistance may need it in different ways," Huddleston explained. "So asking them how you can help them is amazingly helpful. It allows the individual who's in need of assistance to maintain a sense of self, to maybe feel a little less helpless, and maybe even a little less vulnerable."
It's been more than 20 years since Huddleston was helped up, but he continues to think about it to this day.
"His willingness to help me — and the compassion he showed in a very challenging situation — for me is something I will never forget."

Fandom Acts of Kindness! (a pop up event...sort of)
I wish I had the energy to keep up with anyone who participates or shares things for this event, but I'm still sick and managing 3 other events still. But I didn't want Random Acts of Kindness day to pass without encouraging something.
Even if I'm not reblogging everything you share, I still encourage you to participate in spreading some kindness in our fandom over the next two days. Complete as many tasks as you can. Can you get 3 in a row? Feel free to reblog with your bingo board to share what Fandom Acts of Kindness you chose to complete!
I hope people will join in! Let me know if you have any questions!
Choose Kindness (with others and yourself!) 💛💛💛

shoutout to the vendor at the craft fair today who, after overhearing my bestie spend three minutes deliberating over whether or not she could financiallt justify using her $3 cash to buy a ghost keychain she fell in love with, told my bestie that the keychain was only $1.50. bestie may have been too excited to notice, but I saw the $3-6 sign on the keychains. i know how much a resin keychain with flowers in it is worth. i know what you did, ma'am, and i salute you for it. thank you.

I never thought this would reach so many people or do so much good. To see where this little idea started to where it ended up I'm just in shock. I'm sitting in my hotel room crying for Jennifer May Nickel, For Oksana , For Ukraine, For the amount of kindness people have shown and spread...to see Misha Collins (Happy Birthday!) on stage with the flag I gave him this morning (he and Jennifer are also matching donations on all the flags I hid) is so surreal. Also selfish request if anyone has better pictures of him with the flag could you tag/post/send them to me? Please Donate Here:

A Thankful Heart
Have you ever received praise and gratitude without even recognizing that your small act of kindness had benefited someone else? Throughout high school, I consistently brought my lunch and some peanut butter sandwiches for snacks. I always share my peanut butter sandwich with a classmate. She never raised a protest, so I assumed that either she enjoyed peanut butter or was being polite. Following high school, we lost contact. Years later, she would thank me on Facebook for my kind gesture and the sandwiches that spared her from being hungry. I was taken aback since I never would have guessed that she didn't have enough money to buy herself lunch. I was thankful that in some way I was able to help.
Food brings people together on many different levels. It’s the nourishment of the soul and body: it’s truly love. –Giada De Laurentiis.

Today is 'Random Acts of Kindness Day'.
It also marks the beginning of Repro Shabbat, an event organized by the National Council of Jewish Women to highlight the importance of access to reproductive healthcare. It is a reminder that the conversation about our rights extends beyond the fallout of Roe v Wade being overturned. It is a reminder to keep up the fight.
It is still difficult for women to receive a correct diagnosis for life-threatening illnesses, especially those which may impact a woman's health during pregnancy. There are still women who are unable to access appropriate reproductive healthcare. There are disabled and chronically ill pregnant women whose lives are in jeopardy. All because of the Republicans' total disregard for our rights and our autonomy.
These actions also have a ripple effect across the Jewish community. They strip away a God-given right. They disregard Jewish law.
With antisemitism on the rise, it is going to be even harder for Jewish women to not only receive the care they need, but also to simply stay alive.
In 2014, Rabbis David Saperstein and Marla Feldman wrote:
"...women are moral decision-makers in their own right entitled to make fundamental medical and reproductive choices. A woman should make a decision about whether to have an abortion according to her own beliefs and in consultation with her clergy, her family, and her doctor; politicians and ideologues should not make the decision for her."
This is as true today as it was then.
Know where your local elected officials stand. Know where your friends and loved ones stand. Do not give up the fight.
סולידריות היא מעשה של חסד. להציל חיים זו מצווה.
