We should do what we can. We don't have to try and fix everything, but we can start by trying and starting somewhere.

Can I watch a great film knowing the actresses in it were terrorized and mistreated the entire time? Can I watch a football game knowing that the players are getting brain injuries right before my eyes? Can I listen to my favorite albums anymore knowing that the singers were all beating their wives in between studio sessions? Can I eat at the new fancy taco place knowing when the building that used to be there got bulldozed eight families got kicked out of their homes so they could be replaced with condos and a chain restaurant? Can I wear the affordable clothes I bought downtown that were probably assembled in a sweatshop with child labor? Can I eat quinoa? Can I eat this burger? Can I drink this bottled water? Can I buy a car and drive to work because I’m sick of taking an hour each way on the subway? Whose bones do I stand on? Whose bones am I standing on right now?

“Russia is European” “No, Russia is in Asia”

Have you considered: there is literally nothing justifying Europe and Asia being two different continents in the first place

Katara and Azula are both younger sister prodigies whose mothers went away but the differences between them are profound. Katara's mother died because she loved her daughter, and Azula's mother left because she didn't love her enough (from Azula's perspective).

they both have older brothers who were jealous of their gifts but Sokka overcame his insecurity to support and encourage Katara, while Zuko remained feeling threatened by Azula.

their stories are so similar but so different. Katara lacked material support but got emotional support in spades. meanwhile, Azula had all the resources in the world but not an ounce of affection from any of her family members.

when reading statistics like 99.5% of recent covid deaths are unvaccinated people please keep in mind that this is not a population of petulant assholes who refuse to be vaccinated. every person who cannot be vaccinated for legitimate medical reasons counts in that statistic.

disabled people are still actively being punished for misinformation pushed by science denialists. don’t forget them

#BeKind21: Donate to a Local Shelter

Today’s #BeKind21 message is from Catching Joy, Inc.

The most important lesson I’ve learned is the power of empathy and kindness – these are the driving forces that can change the world.

When I was four-years-old and holiday shopping with my family in Back Bay, Boston, I saw a man standing alone. He was dressed differently to my young mind. He wasn’t wearing a coat, hat, mittens, or socks. In one hand, he grasped a tin can, and in the other hand, he held a cardboard sign with one word: “help.” My parents and I put some change in his cup, and I heard a “clink” sound. I wondered to myself whether his cup was empty, how long he was there in the freezing weather without help, and if he was invisible to others because people seemed to be ignoring him. Before this experience, my sheltered young self did not know or understand that not every person has food, clothing, shelter, or support.

Since my earliest memories, I have been leading Catching Joy, Inc., a nonprofit that promotes volunteerism and acts of kindness beginning with kids, teens, and families. I organize hands-on service projects to help share the responsibility and joy of giving. For over a decade, I’ve helped mobilize an estimated 100,000 people, mostly youth. I aim to empower my generation to get informed, get involved, raise our voice, and take action. I’ve never forgotten the man I saw when I was four-years-old. His story is a part of my story, and now it’s part of your story, too.

Your kindness challenge today: Donate food, toiletries, or socks to a shelter serving people who are unhoused in your community. These necessities keep people safe and healthy, and also offer comfort and dignity.

In Kindness.

Maxwell Surprenant CEO + Co-Founder of Catching Joy, Inc.
