Good morning Fedi. I am still very rough and powered by co-codamol and shark syndrome but I'm DMing my Strahd campaign today so it's not all bad. Just used some Xmas money to treat myself to the companion books on DMs Guild too! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #curseofstrahd

I have trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there. I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me. If you know someone who is presenting at #fosdem26 please send them my way. I will […]

So I just did my 2025 win, struggle, lesson reading that I offered to others on the @Weirdos_Queerdos goal setting session this afternoon and... yeah, that's a theme alright. For an antisocial Autistic, that is a lot of social bullshit in my 2025 spread! #tarot

We’re half way through our top 10 acts of kindness from 2025 and today’s is from Debs, one of our Kindness Ambassadors. “One of my favourite kindness stories this year was from someone who was having a bad day at work and their colleague gave them a cup cake and […] [Original post on kind.social]

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me thoughtful and compassionate discussions, zero ads on my social networking platform, and a local first platform that's led by the needs of Welsh people and those living in Wales! That's why I donate monthly to @teamtoot […]

Went out with N99 masks to a show. Attended family Christmas eve party masked, attended Christmas day family gathering masked. I don't give it a second thought that very few around me are masked because it's second nature to protect ourselves. Hearing of a […] [Original post on med-mastodon.com]

“One of my elderly Mum's #neighbours drives her to do a big shop once a fortnight, which is kind enough, but in between, if she sees Mum walking to the bus stop she'll offer her a lift instead, and often brings over 'spare' odds and ends of meals or cake. And when Mum had a funeral to go to […]

I'm running a woo woo themed (take what works, leave what doesn't), guided 2025 review and 2026 goal setting session over in @Weirdos_Queerdos Discord this afternoon. It will be a neurodivergent and disabled/chronically ill affirming session, not your standard team capitalism goals nonsense! If […]

Woot! Managed to power through another week of uni today. Also had to email my tutor because I am very confused that all the material mentions the DSM when I was under the impression the UK uses the ICD (which is not mentioned at all in the study material). #studentsinwales #OpenUniversity […]

"That I was able to have that experience was down to my boss at the time, Clare. I told her that I needed some time to be with my grandmother and I would resign or take a sabbatical if I needed to do that. She just wrote back and said ‘take all the time you need’ no questions asked.” I hope you […]

Lucy's top kindness story of the year, and number 8 on our list is about kindness at work: “The TfK story that sticks with me from this year is the one that reminded us ‘people first, work second’. It struck a chord because it made me remember the time when my […] [Original post on kind.social]

Small acts of kindness make a big difference - that’s why we always say that no act of kindness is too small to celebrate. Here’s a great example: “At Birmingham Fetish Weekend I went in my powerchair and people were so kind to open the doors for me as I was […] [Original post on kind.social]

Speaking of uni, does anyone have some ethical stationery shop recommendations in the UK? I'm gonna need some highlighters and pencils (I'll be honest, the pencils are for DnD) in the near future.

No #boxingday walk (or indeed roll as it would be now) for me because of this rotten cold sadly. I love a Boxing Day Walk. Instead I'm wrapped up in bed doing uni work and eating cheese. And also watching some @HighRollersDnD !

Yes the last 10% will be hard, yes we should probably consume less stuff, yes capitalism. But right now we have proven technologies, available at the necessary scale to real make some serious progress; and they are actually cheaper than doing the wrong things. The "easy" parts make up 80-90% of […]

I know its techno optimism, but forgive me. There are so many solutions available now that could massively accelerate mitigations to our current climate woes. Solar, wind and batteries (and big nukes where they make sense) for power. Heat pumps for low grade industrial heating and home haeting […]

Help please fediverse, I know a 2nd year zoology degree student looking for zoology/conservation/biology science work experience placements of up to a year, UK and Europe, does anyone know where they might turn to for resources and help? Please boost for reach. Thank you! #biology #zoology […]

Current AI Downsides: > Stole all creative works from everyone ever > Eats so much power that they need tons of nuclear plants yesterday > Eats up so much electricity that everybody else is priced out > Eats up so much GPU & DRAM that everyone else is priced out > Devours jobs like Ghibli's […]

Sadly having to skip Boxing Day visit to a friend whose been having a very rough year. She invited us all for Boxing Day meal but I am still rough and don't want to spread it around. Would love to go give her a hug but alas. The other two are still going so I can have some alone time which is […]

Watching Miracle on 34th Street (the Matilda version) with hot chocolate. Despite being super rough today with a cold that's worsening my long covid, I am very lucky.

That was fun and sparkly. A lovely send off for Tess and Claud. #strictly

What a Christmas treat. I love Blue! Great throwback. #strictly

Scarlett was good but I stand by my belief that that is not a Christmas song, sorry Cher! #strictly

Crikey, fair play Jodie #Strictly

Fury was pretty good there. Nice to see more variety in styles on the Christmas show too. #strictly

Smashing it, Tess! That was fab! #strictly

Interesting umbrella-ography there! #strictly

Craig isn't wrong but it was fun! #strictly

I only know Brian McFadden and the guy from Eastenders so, for me, it's anybody's game! May the best festive dancer win. #strictly

Merry Christmas team #strictly !

omfg the 5th #diehard film is both terrible and not a Die Hard film.

"Friend has brought the forest closer to me and I can feel it deep in my belly, pulling me back into the land of the living.” How wonderful that your able to enjoy the birds, and to show them kindness too, thanks to the kindness of your friend. 3/3

"Make sure you fill it up again every day, she told me, handing me a bag of seeds. They are very hungry. She was not wrong. An army of five little birds has been arriving every morning. They clean the place out, tilting the feeder to get the last crumbs off. If I fill it up again, they’ll be […]

Oooh I forgot about @FediTree 🎄

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a local first platform that's led by the needs of Welsh people and those living in Wales! That's why I donate monthly to @teamtoot : https://opencollective.com/twt-cymru . #12daysoffedi https://opencollective.com/twt-cymru

It appears that for Xmas someone has gifted me a cold.

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

We watched Die Hard 4 this evening in our festive gear!

Pretend you haven't forgotten somebody this Christmas by ordering them a year of coffee deliveries. They start in January so you can blame not having to physically give them tomorrow on us 😉 https://roastinghouse.co.uk/yoc26/

“A small act but I appreciate it as a person living on Social Security. Aldi’s the grocery store charges $.25 for the use of their carts.. as I was walking toward the cart row a lady came up to me & said do you need a cart? as she was rolling hers from her car. I […] [Original post on kind.social]

Fediverse heads up! Try not to put hashtags in the middle of sentences, maybe one or two hashtags, but not more than that Reasoning: Screen readers. For you, that's just a small character and some colored text, for a blind person using a screen reader, that is the word "HASHTAG" being […]

Number 9 in our top 10 acts of kindness this year is from head kindness cheerleader, Sarah: “So many to choose from, but one that really sticks in my mind was when I was in Switzerland to watch the Women’s Euros Final. In the (long) queue for the ladies loo at […] [Original post on kind.social]

"Everyone saying they didn’t want to take more than their fair share. Possibly the most English thing to happen in the entire tournament.” I hope you have enjoyed reading these stories as much as I have. For more stories like this, follow us! And remember: • Kindness is important • Kindness is […]

“A good friend of mine lived in a red state, in unsafe conditions for numerous reasons. Another friend of mine ended up driving across three states to pick them up and move them into their home in a safe blue state. That redeemed the human race for me.” Helping to get people to somewhere safe […]

"She's such a kind person - she didn't say she was doing it, just thoughtfully and kindly sent me some joy and Christmas spirit. She is hands down the kindest person I know, and it's effortless with her. It's part of who she is, not what she does.” I hope you have enjoyed reading these stories […]

"She knows I'm down and worried about money for December and Christmas, and has not only spent time chatting with me and helping me out with ideas and solutions, but last night a package arrived from her and it was an advent calendar (of tea! My favourite thing!) which was so thoughtful, and […]

To celebrate that there has been a lot of light this year, despite the darkness of the news, I asked people to tell me their favourite story of kindness from the year. Number 10 is from @lexicaleigh: “I would like to talk about my sister. She has MS and […] [Original post on kind.social]
