JakeWent to the post office and let a person who had to step aside to fill in an address to cut in front of me. No big deal, I'm in no rush, said to her to pay forward the kindness next time. When she got to the till, she grabbed the post satchels I was buying and insisted on paying for me.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Kindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kindness</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RandomActsOfKindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RandomActsOfKindness</a>

Wigbert B 🎻🏛🎭🎤🗞🎥📚"... Russell had gone into that post office feeling “overwhelmed about the sheer volume of bad news and the enormity of problems in the world, that I had absolutely no power to do anything about”. But on the bus, on her way home, she felt different; empowered. “It made me think about how maybe some people are more likely to receive kindness than others and how one way to respond to unkindness is with kindness.” ...<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/RandomActsOfKindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RandomActsOfKindness</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/BeKindToday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeKindToday</a><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/mar/30/rewind-and-be-kind-what-happens-if-you-do-one-act-of-kindness-every-day" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/mar/30/rewind-and-be-kind-what-happens-if-you-do-one-act-of-kindness-every-day</a>

Valerie RoneyI walk by a school yard that has a disappointing amount of snack litter blown up into the shrubs and such. It makes me sad. It's too much for me to pick up, but I can't shift the Marge Simpson grumbles of disapproval at the state of things. In an inspired moment of clarity today I realized I could pick up one piece every time I walked by. It allows me to feel like I am responding to the need, but not swamped by it. <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/randomActsOfKindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#randomActsOfKindness</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/smallThingsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smallThingsMatter</a>

Michelle / The Giddy StitcherA couple of days ago I found a random crochet act of kindness in the form of this little rhinoceros friend left hanging from a bush.Thought about taking him home, but decided to leave it since it was just round the corner from a primary school and would make some kid's day.Today I was rewarded! Much more out of the way, up in a tree on our regular walking route, we found this little mouse friend instead!I think the "Random Act of Crochet Kindness UK" thing is a FB group, so feel a bit sad I can't let them know this one was found, but oh well.It's brightened my day and will take pride of place on the shelf 🐭 <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crochet</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Amigurumi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amigurumi</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/RandomActsOfKindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RandomActsOfKindness</a>

Stephen Bannasch (316 ppm)Circuit breaker powering a friend’s greenhouse located in their garage tripped — but a 5” thick ice glacier made it impossible to open! I brought tools of disassembly and what worked best was my 8 pound short-handle sledge hammer and my sharpest splitting wedge! Thick ice is fucking tough! Their greenhouse is getting power again!Feels good to help make something a bit better in the current dystopia …<a href="https://ruby.social/tags/RandomActsOfKindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RandomActsOfKindness</a>

BroadwaybabytoFor every executive order, bill or funding cut that targets marginalized people, let’s counter with an act of kindness. Cut SNAP funding? Give to a community fridge Cut PrEP funding? Give to AIDS organizations. Mask bans? Wear a mask!Attacks on trans rights? Amplify trans creators.ICE Raids? Form a neighbourhood ICE watch. Misogynist abusers appointed to cabinet roles? Give to victims shelters. DEIA program cuts? Shop local and support marginalized businesses and creators. We can do this. Counter evil with kindness & community care.<a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspoli</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/randomactsofkindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#randomactsofkindness</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/dei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dei</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trump</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransRightsAreHumanRights</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/nomaskbans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nomaskbans</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resist</a>

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁Ran out to the store in this snow for a couple of things to get me through until the next grocery shop. A clerk stopped me and gushed over my lipstick colour (Mac: Feels So Grand & Russian Red) and how good it looked on me (I'll disregard the "ma'am" 😆). Totally made my day.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/RandomActsOfKindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RandomActsOfKindness</a>

BroadwaybabytoA number of years ago I had an emergency that saw me land in the ER on Christmas Eve. I remember struggling to think of literally anyone I could call to come be with me. After all, people barely show up for us on normal days. Would anyone show up at Christmas? 🧵It’s hard to be chronically ill at the holidays. Let’s be honest - it’s hard year round. People are constantly treating us like burdens or they’re ignoring us altogether. We spend a ridiculous amount of spoons fending off unhelpful & unsolicited adviceWe’re always in pain, always exhausted and always sick. It’s hard to enjoy yourself when your entire existence is suffering - so holidays meant to be “joyful” can be bittersweet.People expect us to push for their benefit. Put on a happy face. Deliver a convincing “I’m fine” Nowhere is this more true than at the holidays. If you’re newly chronically ill you may find that family and friends are uncomfortable around you. They don’t like being reminded of sickness - they see it as interfering with their joy. They want you to participate in the holidays the way you used to - and they’re often not great at hiding their disappointment when you can’t. Your disappointment rarely factors in. You just need to “try harder”. It wears on a person. If you’ve been chronically ill for awhile - you will no doubt have noticed that you get less calls, texts and cards. You’re slowly being disappeared. Annexed from people’s lives - especially at the holidays. Can’t have that pesky reminder of disability and human frailty! If you land in the hospital - it can compound the feelings of isolation and loneliness. I know it does for me. No one shoukd be alone in the ER. We all need and deserve an advocate. But who can you call at Christmas? When you spend most of the year being treated as a nuisance, being told that you probably could get better if you really wanted to, that you don’t “look that sick” etc… will you be comfortable enough to risk rejection when you’re extra vulnerable at the holidays? I know I wasn’t. The idea of reaching out to someone during a medical emergency only to have them chide me for interrupting their holidays was too much to bear. So I went through it alone. Don’t get me wrong - the doctors and nurses were incredible. I think some of the kindest people volunteer to staff the ER at Christmas - as I’ve always found a caring person and a hand to hold during those difficult times. Its not the same as having friends or family though.That Christmas Eve - as I lay on a hospital gurney in terrible pain wondering if I would make it home to my bed by Christmas Day - I thought about how many of us spend the holidays alone. I thought about WHY people are so quick to forget us. I reached out to others via social media. I expressed my sadness and disappointment and asked for support. I got tons of heartfelt comments, messages of solidarity, cute GIFs and photos of cuddly animals. I wasn’t alone anymore. Something incredible happened. By asking for help and leveraging an online community of people who understood what I was going through - I found more love and support than I could ever imagine. I even had a small Christmas miracle. My posts were seen by someone within the theatre community which I was an active part of before becoming so sick. This person left their Christmas party and came to the ER. They kept me company and gave me a ride home. They came back the next day with a homemade meal Suddenly I didn’t feel like a burden. I felt seen, valued and cherished. I felt wondrous amazement. I didn’t ask them to do it - they simply stepped up for someone in need. Imagine if more people did that? Their act of kindness coupled with the love and support I found online made that ER Christmas one of my most cherished memories - even in spite of all the pain and suffering. I share this story to remind others than no one is ever truly alone We may get let down a LOT … but we also rally together as a community more fiercely than most will ever know. We share mutual aid, we hold zoom calls, we help keep each other fed and housed. We show up. My Chronic Illness Christmas article dives into feelings of loneliness, guilt and gaslighting that many of us deal with at the holidays.It has tips for friends and family to help make it an inclusive and safe holiday. I hope it also includes some hope and helps someone remember they’re not alone.<a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/a-chronic-illness-christmas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.disabledginger.com/p/a-chronic-illness-christmas</a><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#christmas</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/holidays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#holidays</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/hospital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hospital</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/kindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kindness</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/randomactsofkindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#randomactsofkindness</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chronicillness</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longcovid</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mecfs</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabilityrights</a>

Simple NomadRegardless of what people think at times, there is good in the world. I received a notification on my phone that an Amazon delivery happened - I checked the porch and nothing. Checked security cameras, also nothing (I case they put it in the mailbox). No delivery trucks had been on my street for hours anyway. Later on, a car drove up and someone got out, tried to fit a package in my mailbox (it was took big) so they ran it up to the porch and dropped it off. Now it had clearly been opened, but they used tape to seal in back up, and based upon body language and whatnot this was someone from in the neighborhood from I guess another street. They could have taken the contents (snacks, yummy!) but didn’t. And they did this while it was raining!In keeping with the theme of niceness, this was a gift, I have no idea who it it from (it just says “a gift for you” although I have my suspicions) so I got basically an anonymous gift from a kind person and an anonymous delivery from another nice person. And yes, I plan to keep things going and keep passing on the niceness whenever and wherever I can.<a href="https://rigor-mortis.nmrc.org/tags/xmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xmas</a> <a href="https://rigor-mortis.nmrc.org/tags/randomactsofkindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#randomactsofkindness</a>

Sune AukenThis is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies inside and outside of the US.Also, I declare this Random Acts of Kindness Day. Everybody hurts - at least sometimes. Show a little more compassion and consideration than strictly necessary today. It may not be very important, just plain nice, but you just perchance might be somebody's angel today. That one smile or kind word that gets them through a hard day.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/DailyReminder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DailyReminder</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/RandomActsOfKindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RandomActsOfKindness</a><a href="https://mastodon.world/@SuneAuken/113509095923827114" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.world/@SuneAuken/113509095923827114</a>
