Generosity is an anti-depressant.
Depressed people were randomly assigned to give less than a penny a day to #charity. Over the next 2 months, moods improved and #depression declined. The more they gave, the better they felt.
Exceptional #caregiving isn't just about the tasks, it also is about the #kindness.
I was watching the State of the City 2025 presentation for Fort Collins, Colorado yesterday. I was very impressed that they repeatedly said that kindness is a major value point that they use when deciding priorities and projects. And the City Manager and Mayor both went out of their ways to celebrate the city workers, each other, and the community as a whole.
Can't say I've ever heard that from a government before in my neck of the woods.
My kind of place....

This is your random reminder all this mastodon awesomeness happens because of volunteer admins/mods, and donation-funded server costs.
So take a moment to toss some coin to your server if needed. 
Or you can donate to smaller instances representing more marginalized groups that need an extra bump to get through.
Like the very awesome well cared for instance I do all my tooting from:

The family group/tribe is built on mutual support, but the modern conservative version is transactional, based on membership and loyalty. Actions that look like kindness are in reality actions to reinforce tribal loyalty. I think this is why so many people in conservative communties, who are trapped in entirely conservative information spaces, have a hard time breaking free. They see examples of community support as affirmations of their community goodness, and this narrative is drummed into them constantly. Conservative leaders have the advantage of labeling any disruptive people or ideas as 'foreign' and a threat, even if from within the community, so that they never even have to engage with new ideas on merit.
Kindness isnt a relevant trait to their tribal functioning, because the ability to be unkind and cruel to people who arent toeing the tribal line is necessary to upholding 'family law'. Kindness in others undermines their attempts to police peoples behavior (this is why its so important that men are in charge). Therefore, not only is kindness devalued, it is actively persecuted as a threat to conservative values. And that is only treatment of your in-group. If you reject kindness internally, imagine how easy it is to subject an out-group to cruel inhumanity. You can literally justify anything. What is horrifying is the degree to which everyday members of conservative communities have become willfully blind to the terrible treatment of others in order to hang on to an image of community goodness. I have witnessed far too much of this in my life.
Its worth stating that the left has its own, different kind of tribalism. They embrace kindness but there is a lot of pressure to prove the right kind of worth. It has a distinctly multicultural, anti-authoritarian tribalism, where the rules of the tribe are under constant negotiation. This makes communicating a platform challenging. Its a lot simpler for conservative platforms whose rules come from demagogues and an old book.
The flaw of designing a system without compassion is that the cruelty eventually becomes impossible to hide from the tribe, and the cruelty comes for everyone. #uspol #politics #disability #sociology #anthropology #kindness #geopol
I was reading an article about how successful societies run on empathy and kindness.
Then I was reading the viewer comments under a news piece about people being mistreated. There was no kindness from the viewers.

Hello Lovely Peeps! 
One way or another, connection & community has been pretty much ever-present on my mind lately.
Please know how much I love every single one of your stories - even the friendly interactions between mutuals on my timeline. 
Some are downright awe-inspiring! At the very least, they are heart-warming, & so often I also realise 'Oooh, I / we could do something like that here!' 
*Please* keep sharing them!
Wherever you are and whatever your circumstances, may you find that connection, community, and kindness. 
May you have enough, and may you pass it on. 
Much 
to you all and may you have a good week.
