A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying.

The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds.

Just resting.

Not sleeping.

When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly,
“Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.”

A few people chuckled.

She laughed too.

But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been:
holding the baby,
packing snacks,
cleaning spills,
walking him down the aisle,
missing her own meal trying to calm him down…

while the husband watched a movie with headphones on.

And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted.

Not because they’re doing everything alone.

But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”

@Matt_Pinner 20. Anyone born up to early 80s has a strong chance of having 20....especially if born in North America (some parts of the world never really used paper cheques)

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"They found the coats on Thursday morning.

Fifteen winter coats. Good ones, not garbage. Hanging on the chain-link fence outside Lincoln Elementary. No note. No explanation. Just coats, zipped up like ghosts waiting for bodies.

Principal Morris freaked out. Called the police. "Could be stolen," she said. "Could be some kind of prank."
But then Kayla Martinez, eight years old, said her mom worked nights cleaning offices and couldn't afford a winter coat this year. She'd been wearing three hoodies layered up. She touched a purple one on the fence, the right size, and whispered, "Can I?"

Mrs. Alvarez, the PE teacher, said yes before anyone could stop her.
By lunch, all fifteen coats were gone. Fifteen kids who'd been shivering through recess were warm.

The next Thursday? Twenty coats. Different fence, same neighborhood, outside the community center. Then thirty coats appeared at the downtown shelter. Then blankets. Then winter boots.

No cameras ever caught who did it. No social media claims. Just... coats. Every Thursday. All winter long.
The news picked it up. Called them "The Fence Angel." Interviewed grateful families. But nobody knew.
Until March.

Old man died, Earl Hutchins, seventy-one, lived alone in a basement apartment on Fourth Street. When they cleaned out his place, they found receipts. Thrift store receipts. Hundreds of them. He'd been buying every decent winter coat he could find, spending his entire disability check, and hanging them up at night.

His nephew found a journal entry, "Lost my son to exposure in 2004. He was homeless, prideful, wouldn't take handouts. Froze to death behind a dumpster wearing a T-shirt. If I put coats on a fence, nobody has to ask. Nobody has to admit they need help. They just take it. Dignity intact."

I'm Kayla Martinez. I'm sixteen now. That purple coat got me through fourth grade. I never knew Earl. Never got to say thank you.

But last November, I took my babysitting money to Goodwill. Bought six coats. Hung them on that same fence.
My friends saw. They bought coats. Then their parents did. Then the high school started a coat drive, not for a bin, for the fence.

Last Thursday, there were 200 coats. Scarves too. Gloves. We call it "Earl's Fence" now. There's one in Detroit. One in Manchester. One in Vancouver.

I never met the man who saved me from freezing. But I'm becoming him, one coat at a time.
Because the best kind of help doesn't ask for credit. It just hangs there, quiet, waiting for cold hands to find warmth."

Legaut needs to go. QC was effed up before he got in power, but hes destroying whatever was left. It's horrible. Why doesn't the federal govt step in? So many laws against #human rights. This totalitarian regime has to end!!

@AngeeGabs I'd just say something along the lines of "Thank you, we are no longer engaged. On another topic, what do you think about the world governments threatening with a new wave of covid? 🤪"

You've got this!!
