[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

There was a little coffee shop where two people arrived and approached the counter.

“Five coffees ☕️ please. Two for us and three pending.”

They paid, they took their two coffees and left.

I asked the waiter. "What’s this about pending coffees?"

“Wait and you'll see."

Some more people came in.

Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid and left.

The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women -

Three for them and four pending coffees.

I was left wondering...what is the meaning of the pending coffees, they leave.

Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely...

“Do you have a coffee pending?”

“Yes we do, sir.”

They serve him a coffee.... I got my answer.

People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can't afford a hot drink.

This tradition started in Naples.

Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world’s cities and towns.

It’s also possible to order not only “pending coffees” but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live?

Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine.

Maybe we should all try it.
😊❤️🌹

@JasonIsbell @AmericanAir American has been notoriously erratic in their carry on policy in the past year. The AFM, the FAA, and the airlines worked this out over 10 years ago. I understand that flight crews are encountering lots of challenges these days, but this ain’t one of them.

#Ukraine Even in the darkest times, music gives strength to Ukrainian defenders, raises morale and mobilises. This is the violinist Moisei Bondarenko, a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
