Indeed.

Ok?

“Don’t take this the wrong way,” is a very shitty way to tee-up potentially-hurtful observations/requests. If you need intro wording for something you realize might have prickles to it: acknowledge that it might, that you respect the receiver, & that you’ll hear her response.

The utter slimy-ness of big businesses/platforms using this Small Business Saturday as a theme to send “offers” to you in ways they can “help” your small businesses. As we used to say, “Gag me with a spoon.”

I hope you’ll join me—our gifts get matched x 5 right now. 👍🏽❤️ I just donated to Save the Children US to transform children's lives and the future we share. Join me: bit.ly/2Ae3CcS

Happily, gratefully donated to Cool Earth . . . 🌎🌍🌏 #climatechange

Helping a three- or four-year-old near-tears little guy find his mom in Trader Joe’s. (Not being sexist. He’s calling, “Mommy . . . “) TJ employee comes in to assist—to announce over address system—and asks, “What’s your mommy’s name?” Little Dude: “Mommy.” (Found her. ❤️)

Presence instead of presents. 🎁

Thanks ⁦Sharon Salzberg⁩ ❤️

I love it when it’s been a minute since you’ve needed to parallel-park in a tight space, and you find that you’ve still got game. 👍🏽 #itstthelittlethings #itreallyisthelittlethings

Please. Virtue-signal me any time here with reports of your donations to organizations helping the 12% of us humans world-wide currently needing humanitarian aid. Got enough food? A warm, safe place to sleep? Clean, readily-available water? Relative health? Help others. 👍🏽❤️

“Virtue-signaling,” used to be called “acting superior.” “Hacks,” used to be, “tips.” Etc. I like the creative evolution of language. Just not a fan of people believing they’re The First People On Earth to discover the human traits and activities they describe. #getoffmylawnism

When a contractor comes inside your 350 sq foot apartment and you want him to wear a mask, and you have to give him one because, “I don’t own any, any more.”

Way to go! 💙
