Straight boss checks Queer employee is comfortable with phrasing of social media post.

Alexis, a woman with light skin tone and pink hair, wearing sun glasses, a flannel shirt and dungarees, sits on the back of a rainbow bench with her legs wide, her arms leaning on her thighs.

“I wrote a post about the Time for Kindness team being ‘mostly straight’ and Sarah, head kindness cheerleader, replied to my message checking that the caption was ok to make sure I was comfortable with the team being referred to as ‘mostly straight’ when I’m not.

She wanted to ensure I felt seen and recognised.

It’s just one reason I love being part of the TfK team – inclusion isn’t a thing for show, it’s genuine concern for team members, the audience, guest bloggers, everyone. Everyone understands that allyship is a verb”

Even more examples of humans being kind:

Stranger helps move broken down campervan into side street.

Someone stopped to take a picture of me wild swimming and sending it to me after.

Local helps bus passenger get to co-op.
