Seeing kindness has a really positive effect on us so have a think and tell us what kind act(s) you’ve seen this week.
Here’s one to get you started:
“I overheard a couple of people talking in the library. One of them mentioned they were hoping to read a book by a particular author and their friend pointed them towards the area of shelves where that type of book would be found.”

This is not a very easy period for me. Even though I try to stay positive, I have worries and things that keep me tense, so my mind often looks for an escape toward more positive thoughts.
The BSD Cafe, the illumos Cafe, the wonderful friends from the Fediverse and the BSD community, and many of them also in real life. Because for me the digital world and the physical one are closely interconnected. And that's fantastic.
That is exactly why I am not ashamed to say that today, when I arrived at the office to meet the insurance adjuster, I found a package waiting for me. I already knew part of what was inside, but two other items, the ones in the photo here, even though the chocolates were not for me but for my wife, were a surprise. They were unexpected and I admit I was moved while opening it.
Thank you. Truly, thank you. Because I do not need AI telling me I am right even when I am wrong, but human beings whose warmth can be felt even across many, many, many kilometers.

We’re hearing so many stories of kind friends recently but we want more! Let’s hear about your kind friends.
Here’s our latest example:
“I’ve become disabled and my room was no longer really accessible for me because of my change in needs. A friend came over and has come up with a plan for rearranging and making things better laid out and organised for me, freeing up floor space.
She even built the flat-pack furniture for me and bought me lunch!”

What brings you joy?
Two friends sent me flowers to say ‘congratulations on your new job’. I love fresh flowers (and my friends)!

Kindness in friendship can be overlooked because we expect it - but we want to hear about your kind friends!
Here’s one example to get you started:
“My best friend saw a t-shirt that was so me, unicorns, pink, and Dungeons and Dragons, and wanted to get it for me. They messaged me to say ‘do you want this? coz I think you need it? if so lemme know colour and size and I'll get it and send it direct to you.’ And they did!”
