A Good Deed Goes A Long Way

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone. Honestly, I don’t like talking about such things, simply because I feel I’m doing it for show, when that is not the case at all. But, for the sake of the prompt, I’ll share one. Stopping at kids’ lemonade stands in the summer. I just started doing this, I vowed that any few dollars I had in cash on me, I would spend on the young ones…

This is a project I've been working on with Random Acts and INARA since late 2023. Given the conditions on the ground, it's been a logistical challenge, but we've now been able to distribute resources to Gazan refugees. I spoke with Arwa Damon, founder of INARA, about the unfolding horrors in Gaza and what we can do about it. Here’s our conversation…

❗️❗️Content warning for some minor taxidermy process including turkey legs/feet and needles.❗️❗️

Things are starting to take shape for my swamp fishing shack for the Bumblewood Thicket fairy village! I've been really asking to do stuff that pushes boundaries and @random_acts_of_silliness has been wonderful in guiding me through that.

Just acquiring the turkey legs seemed like the biggest hurdle of this process - to have already finished them is such a relief! Thanks so much to James @dead_on_taxidermy for taking me under his wing and showing me the ropes!

🌍 Let’s See What Happens – A Global Social Experiment

Hey internet,

I’m running a little social experiment, and I have no idea how it will turn out.

💡 The question: Would people be willing to send even the smallest amount of money to a total stranger, just because they can? Not for a cause, not for charity – just out of impulse, curiosity, or generosity?

✨ No rules, no pressure – It’s not about asking for money. It’s about seeing how people react to something so simple. Would anyone send 1 cent? A dollar? Nothing at all? That’s the mystery.

🔹 No categories. No borders. Just people. 🔹 No time limit. You can participate whenever you want. 🔹 If someone sends something, they can suggest a purpose for it, and I’ll anonymously document how it was used.

📊 What will happen? I don’t know. Maybe this will flop completely. Maybe people will surprise us. Maybe we’ll learn something interesting about human nature.

Wanna be part of this? The link is here: ➡️ My Website Buy Me A Coffee

Let’s see what happens. 🧐

[regardingjenmish]

The first time I saw this image of her together I loved to see what Hermione tickles Severus and see how he tried to contain his laughter.

Just so you know, he warned that the image of Severus and Hermione is not mine. I liked it a lot, so I uploaded it to Tumblr. But anyway, here I will leave you the link to his image in DeviantArt.

So Rosie's wish from the Tooth Fairy was to have her own lemonade stand. Come on down to 100 Macfarren Ln, Summerville and get a nice refreshing dose of ice cold lemonade and cookies from our very own chaos monster this Sunday 3pm-6ish. All proceeds will go to

https://donorbox.org/collins_demining

She will also be surprised by the Tooth Fairy with that gift that she's been asking for for a long time, #kindness should be rewarded. This isn't political, no one deserves to lose life or limb over unexploded ordinance. We're just trying to put some peace back in the world. If you can't be there maybe buy a cup of virtual lemonade 🍹 in her name. If you can't donate please share. For what it's worth, I'm adopted and turns out I'm the decendant of Ukranian Jews so this is close to my heart because that means Rosie is too. #SlavaUkraini 🌻🇺🇦 DM if you need any additional information. Look forward to seeing you Sunday, I hope! #united24 #mishacollins #RandomActsOfKindness #RandomActs #LemonadeStand #parenting #BatBrats #SPNFamily #GothamKnights #Kindnessmatters I know I'm biased but who.could resist this face?

We should all collectively say thank you to Liverpool Comic Con (and all attendees who have shared their pics and vids and stories) by donating to the Random Acts fundraiser for Maui. From Liverpool to Lahaina, we love you!! https : // give . randomacts . org / campaign / random-acts-for-maui /c513404

that's a great idea!
