We can now use the hashtag #gatherhere to reach out when we're struggling or to suggest and discuss ways we can not only make our world better but also each other.
Thanks to @ceorl for bringing the hashtag back to the forefront.💙
The big thing about making a difference, is knowing every little thing you do for others counts. A smile to a stranger that's having a bad day can more often times turn their entire day right around. Offering help, makes a difference. #SmallPebblesBigRipples
To those feeling disheartened and disillusioned 💔:
We may be the few, but together we are many. It’s natural to feel disappointed when those we trust let us down. But remember, your strength and resilience are not just tools for change—they are the very foundation of it. I know you’re weary, but please, don’t lose faith. Your courage and determination 💪are the sparks that ignite transformation. Together, we WILL overcome any obstacle and build a brighter future. ❤️
For those outside of country, I do believe you can also adopt a childs letter. See the site for more information. https://about.usps.com/holidaynews/operation-santa.htm #KindnessMatters
*Winter boots
If it's clothing, and you are not using it or don't need it, please consider donating them to clothing donation centers in your area.

As for clothing donation centers for the needy, some states/county's in the US do have clothing centers for those in most need. These are the following items I would recommend donating, if you can afford to.
*Underclothing of all sizes.
*Winter clothing (Jackets, coats, mittens and gloves ect, as well as winter socks and hats are always in high demand.)
*Blankets and bedding items.
*Childrens clothing of all sizes.
*Long and short sleeved shirts and sweaters.
*Pants, any kind.
*Shoes

Toys for Tots has begun donations as well for impoverished families across the nation. https://www.toysfortots.org/ #KindnessMatters
A reminder that the US Post Office has opened adoptions for childrens letters to Santa this year as of Nov. 1st. If you would like to help make a childs dreams come true this holiday season, I highly recommend signing up to adopt a letter. #KindnessMatters
*Rice/Pasta
*Fruit (Mixed or plain, low/no syrup is definitely a needed item)
*Crackers
*Dried food goods
*Packaged dried meals
*Packaged granola bars
*Instant Mashed Potatoes
*Nuts
*Dried fruit
Some foodbanks also accept blankets, winter clothing items, and books (Childrens and adult activity books and coloring books are always highly appreciated and disappear quickly in the system.)
2/2
Most needed items for foodbank donations this holiday season:
*Shelf stable boxed milk
*Freeze dried eggs
*Vegetable oils, or cooking oils
*Flour (Any kind is ALWAYS needed.)
*Freeze dried vegetables (Fresh tends to spoil very quickly.)
*Peanut butter/nut butters
*Boxed bread mixes or fresh bread
*Canned goods (Soups, vegetables, meats, dairy products, broths are always in high need.)

I will freely admit my headspace is not where it should be. I suspect many are in the same situation.
My failings lately have not done me any favors and I think all of us need to get our minds and emotions in the proper place before we begin to tackle the world's problems. If not we will only perpetuate them.
I will be seeking help outside of #CounterSocial but I would like to start a hashtag where we can come together to help each other as well.
Would anybody be willing to do this with me?
*snorts and just starts laughing.* I know many of these stories are wild as hell, but I can't help the impulse to share them for the pure ballsy efforts of humanity in such a wild west kind of universal situation. https://youtu.be/i5zN-Q9rhyE
