In case someone doesn't already know about it, the charity "Give Directly" tries to find the world's poorest people and gives them lump sums of money. Not as a loan. They recognize how hard it can be for people in that level of poverty to pay back money, and it also eliminates a lot of the issues that material based charities can inadvertently cause on local economies!

They're my number one favorite charity now, but I didn't know they existed till a few years ago so I'm trying to spread the word!

Hey that old man with glasses just glued some feathers to his face

It wants a hug from me and you can't convince me otherwise!

America's Next Top Owl, work it girl!

This community makes me feel less alone and has the best chronic illness memes I've seen to date, thank you everyone who's been posting 🥰

Those names rock and since I don't have real life ducks I'm stealing them for my Stardew Valley animals

Love it, I'm saving this! Sometimes it's easier to compliment what we see so it's nice to be reminded to think a little harder about how we want to uplift people

This is so awesome!!

I donate monthly to the instance I'm signed up with and I hope more of them follow suit with what you guys are doing!

That's so sweet, I imagine she feels very supported by your words! It's for sure a full time job, but to me personally it doesn't feel like a job most of the time even though I'm super busy. I think it's the "find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life" thing?😊

That is incredible!! I tried to give away a ton of scrap wood once and never had any takers, thank you for repurposing some. You really did make it look new!

Snakes

That's so cool, thank you very much!! 😁

I'm happy alternative schooling methods are getting more popular!! There are so many ways for kids to socialize beyond the traditional school system

I don't think I ever would have come across this story if you hadn't posted it, thank you.

I wish the article would give more details about what the tweets actually said!

People generally assume stay at home parents only choose that if their spouses make a lot of money, that they are bored or unsatisfied with their life, and that it's a job that is very hard and not much fun.

Obviously I don't speak for SAHPs and maybe these things do apply to some, but my life is freakin awesome! We choose to live very simply and frugally on a single below average income and it is completely worth it every single day for us.

I have so much control over my own schedule, I can't get enough of spending time with my kid and have so much fun with them, I have more time for my own interests, self care or friendships when my spouse can take over at times after work, we get fun family time all together almost every day because we don't have to spend all evening cooking and cleaning (plus our schedule is more flexible), and this is the only job where everything I do all day long directly benefits myself and my loved ones (beyond financial support).

There is genuinely nothing in the world I would trade for this. But man do I get tired of the negative comments from nearly everyone who finds out what I do.

I'm totally hearing this in the voices of Stan and Cartman from South Park

Garage doors... I do not yet have a solution for this one 🤪

I never stopped laughing out loud with each one of these. It's gonna be fun to watch Lemmy build up legendary moments/memes etc!

The biggest thing I wanna know about this movie before deciding whether to see it is;

How much of the movie is plot and character based and how much is literally action shots with the monsters? Anyone seen it that can weigh in?

The username makes this even better
