Hey everyone! I wanted to start a thread about something that's been on my mind lately: the power of small acts of kindness.
We often think of kindness as these big, grand gestures that take a lot of time and effort. But the truth is, it's the little things that can make the biggest difference in someone's day.
For example, holding the door open for someone, or offering a kind word to someone who looks like they're having a tough day. These may seem like small gestures, but they can have a huge impact on the person on the receiving end.
Good evening Twitter Family. I haven't tweeted in a while. Praying that everyone is safe and doing well.
So, I was blessed to be able to move into a rooming house (yay!). But the landlord didn't change the locks and the previous renter stole my things when I was at work. 😡

It's really difficult paying rent every week, commuting to and from work, buying groceries, etc. Then to have someone steal my things only made it harder. I really need hlp with buying a pair of quality shoes b/c I only hv my work boots and I really need to take care of my feet.
If u are able to contribute a donation, any amount will be greatly appreciated. Thank u all in advance. 💙 Please retweet 🙏🏼

I’m working on a piece that will expose an invisible epidemic that regular working class people know all to well. Media and society ignore it, because they don’t want to address the complex, often absurd inequities of the US medical system. I had recently had surgery (1/3)
abdominal wall #endometriosis excision (a procedure done by only 7 Drs in USA & NONE take insurance!) I’m #disabled on Medicare but they won’t cover this, they’ll only pay to remove my uterus! But they’ll pay for men to get boner pills! I’m rejecting the #mesh they placed. (2/3)
35yrs of chronic illness & pain I’ve seen the classism racism sexism capitalism ableism & patriarchy in the US med system is literally & figuratively crippling us. It’s gross that we have to do this for basic #HumanRights but if you’re able please help at my links in 4 (3/3)

Bruno rode in the ambulance - his dad went into surgery then Bruno had to go to a shelter. He was scared and far from home! 🥺 Luckily, a hero came forward. Nurse Janis Koren graciously offered to take Bruno until things could get sorted out. (2/5)
She opened her heart and her home to help a stranger. She took Bruno knowing he isn’t even fully potty trained! 💦 She thoughtfully sent pictures and updates to worried friends back home. (3/5)

What if your version of kindness does more harm than good?
10 ways that you may be misusing kindness.
//Thread//🧵
1. You use kindness to support the route that is simple, easy, and obvious.
True kindness is doing what a person needs and what is best for them.
Often this involves deep consideration of what that might really be.

Often this involves deep consideration of what that might really be.
2. You only validate others’ emotions rather than also exploring the situation further, even when the emotions are based on inaccurate or unhelpful interpretations.
True kindness can involve a gentle challenge that can lead to authentic connection & possibilities for change.

Most pigs will never make it to Nelson's size. Commercial, large breed pigs are often very poorly bred & often inbred. They are not bred for longevity 👇

Dogs are Haram’ - There were times when I was reprimanded by my friends for patting a dog’s forehead & they still do. ‘It’s just a pat! And They’re created by the same God who created you’ was my reply to their disapproving stares or atleast that’s what
I convinced my little self. It was not until recently I stumbled upon an article which spoke about Muslims hurling stones & killing dogs because they consider it ‘unhygienic’ & then there’s some Muslims who approach the veterinary doc just to have the dogs
killed with lethal injections! The sole reason for this is the half-baked knowledge they possess. If we’re to look at Quran, we’re bound to learn that Dogs were companions of Humans.
Hi God.

I didn't understand what was going on, I just knew it was bad. Mistress's daughter came and stayed with us a long time. Many many moons.
A few times she would take Roxy dog with her, and when they came home I could smell mistress on Roxy and took comfort knowing she was ok.

Finally, after 40 days, I got to go with Roxy and we waited in a courtyard at the hospital. I FINALLY got to see my person ❤!!! But things had changed. She couldn't stand up and come to me. She stayed in a funny chair and was missing most of her legs.
1/9 So how do we know we are testing enough? One way is to monitor the % of positive tests among all of the #COVID19 tests conducted over the course of a week.
2/9 A high % positive, indicates that we may not be testing enough to detect all the cases. We want to cast our net wide around where the virus is spreading.
3/9 We aim for a low percentage positive, below 10%, which is an international benchmark. This indicates we are casting our net wide enough to capture any cases that may be occurring in the area.
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Sunday statement you can read in full here: bit.ly/2Ujy5OA
2/4 We are now updating #COVID19 in 🇨🇦 numbers once a day, in the evening on Canada.ca/coronavirus. As of last evening (end of day Saturday, June 6), there are now 95,057 cases including 7,773 deaths & 53,614 or 56% recovered cases.
3/4 This #Sunday, remember as we continue to live with #COVID19, we need to keep up with our prevention efforts: #WashYourHands #PhysicalDistancing #CoughEtiquette #StayHomeIfSick
1/5 @danjlevy said it best: “Imagine wearing a mask not as an infringement on your freedom, but rather the simplest, easiest act of kindness that you can do in a day...” #HelpOthers #COVID19 #KindnessMatters
2/5 Key point - while you may not personally feel at risk from #COVID19, the reality is that if you are infected you could be responsible for starting a new chain of transmission causing life threatening illness for others. #ProtecttheVulnerable
3/5 This is even more important because some people may not be able to wear a face covering safely, including people who may be at risk of severe outcomes from #COVID19. #ProtecttheVulnerable #HelpOthers #DontJudge
