Makeshift standing desk as self kindness.

In self kindness news, I set myself up with a ‘standing desk’ and although I don’t have a treadmill, I’ve discovered that I can dance along to my background music while I work!

I saw someone assisting a blind fellow passenger off the train.

Discord admin creates newbies chat.

“In a Discord I’m in the admin team asked what would help make it easier for newbies to get involved. After a discussion they implemented a ‘newbie chat’ where longer term members are encouraged to interact with newbies so they can make friends and feel comfortable before diving into the larger busy chats.” Helping new
