@CalltoActivism I have bought meals for the homeless several times ❤️‍🩹

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“I debated posting this picture but I changed my mind.

I didn't know my boyfriend had captured this moment.

A couple of day's ago we went to eat late at night and as we waited for our order, I saw this homeless lady walk in asking people that were throwing away there leftovers if she could have them.

Not one person said yes, they all ignored her and threw it away it broke my heart.

I have been volunteering with the homeless now for many years. I hold them all with so much love.

So I told Fred if I see her before we are done eating I will give her my food.

I looked for her as we were getting ready to leave and couldn't find her.....I felt sad knowing all the rejection she had that night searching for a warm meal.

As I was going to throw away my one leftover chicken strip and 5 fries, I heard a very quite voice ask me if I had anything left.

I turned around and it was her..l gave her my food and watched her sit and eat it.....but something didn't feel right...I felt like a horrible human being feeding her my leftover chicken strip..she deserved so much more...so I bought her a whole meal.

She deserved to eat a hot meal.

When I ordered the meal I asked the employee for a huge favor to please do not kick her out as we waited...I could already see the disgust on people's faces as she sat at the table eating the leftovers I had given her.

She was getting ready to get up and leave when I surprised her with this meal, the look on her face said it all.

I have never felt something like this. Pure, real gratitude.

That hug she gave me was like a hug I had never felt. Those tears she shed were felt deep in my heart. I held her tight and let her let it out.

I just held her. And that is a moment I will never ever forget.

So next time you judge a homeless person think twice.”

@604Atheist says: Roads can appear soapy when it rains b/c of oils & other contaminants that have accumulated on the surface. Asphalt emulsions contain 0.1–2% of an emulsifier, or “soap” that’s meant to stabilize the emulsion. That's what you see when it rains after dry spell

[Amber Belzer @AMBERontheair]

Anyone know what’s causing the foam-like effect on the roads this morning? Rain doesn’t usually do that. ~ pollen? Soap? Wildfire soot?

[Rita Sheloff @kcquilting]

This is an awesome thread to read. Shows we are all human and make mistakes. Oh yeah, and done of them are pretty darn funny!

Coquitlam RCMP is warning the public of a recent increase of sextortion cases.

In recent months, Police have been receiving a large number of money-motivated sextortion reports where youth boys and girls are being targeted.

It’s remarkable when you think the Ukrainian President was formerly an actor/comedian. Look at him now. His courage, bravery, tenacity and leadership these past 300 days is so inspiring to me. 🙏🇺🇦

@JustinTrudeau Didn’t October’s GST already come through on the 5th of that month?? Next GST isn’t supposed to come out until January … so I’m very confused about this 🤔🤔

@nbcsnl I’d love to see Elton John

We’ve come a loooong way since then!

@RodLacroix I love how you all can get along and do stuff like this together. All too often exes can’t stand each other and the kids suffer because of it. I applaud your families for getting along like this to create all these wonderful memories together 👏🏻👏🏻💕💕👏🏻👏🏻
