With mainstream media primarily highlighting unpleasant events worldwide, it’s always refreshing to hear about acts of kindness towards another human being. Sadly, these behaviors don’t get as much attention as they should.
Thankfully, the Chaotic Good subreddit is changing that. This online group shares good intentions manifested through unorthodox methods, to say the least.
Here, you’ll see people stealing to provide for someone who can’t afford groceries, passing gas alongside someone so they won’t feel embarrassed, and drunkenly painting a crosswalk on a dangerous street.
Scroll through and have a few feel-good moments today. Hopefully, this list will show you that despite all the negativity, there is still some good in this world.

Don't know why people get so bent out of shape about drag queens and children. Every drag queen I've ever known has been very protective and nurturing towards children. The Queens know what it is like try find your voice and flourish in a society that often pushes for conformity.

Old School Mad Lad
Cecil J. Williams, 1956. Photo taken by a friend of the photographer while he posed, during a road trip in South Carolina. He traveled the South of the US to document segregation and discrimination, including coverage of the desegregation of public schools and violence against black protesters, becoming a close friend with JFK in the process. He is still alive and 86 years old.
Gotta Love Drunk Idiots Sometimes
When I was at school the bus stop where I and a school mate caught the morning bus was suspended due to road works and temporarily replaced with a sign on a concrete block. Coming back from school one day we moved the temporary sign about 100 yards down the road so we didn't have to walk so far in the morning. When the works were finished they reinstated the bus stop WHERE WE HAD MOVED IT TO! It's still in the same spot decades later. I went on to become a Civil Engineer, designing and building roads!

Who’s Coming With Me?
Standing Up For An Older Fellow
"Recently went camping at a very busy RV park. Our camper didn't have a toilet or shower, so we were reliant on the bathroom on site. The first night we were there I met a super cool older fellow that had some stomach issues (who didn't have his own restroom either). He was frantically trying to get the door open, but the keypad entry was broken. Thankfully I had my pocket knife and jimmied the door for him.
After I took a nice shower I rode my bike to find maintenance to repair the door. The gentleman couldn't get the door open themselves and swore they would fix it.
Later that evening the door was still broken. So, to help my little buddy out, I taped the latch so he could get in as he needed (frequently). I wrote on the tape, as not to ruin the door, "please don't remove the tape, some of us rely on this restroom". You can see the residue of the tape still left from their shoddy removal.
Next morning the tape was gone and the lock still broken. At that point, it was apparent that they didn't care about the people camping there, so I removed the broken handle, and deposited the parts in six cans across the campground.
Needless to say the next day the doorknob was replaced with a functional unit and the marker removed. The older fellow was so happy he gave me some limes his daughter grew. Made a hell of a beverage later that day."

What A Lovely Idea! I'd Say This Makes A Massive Difference To People Who Have Been Feeling Lonely
The point is to borrow a person that is different to yourself. If you want to know about being gay, or Christian, or Muslim, or transgender you can borrow someone who is that and they will tell you about it, I think it is a brilliant idea, as the internet cannot interact in the same way.
F**k The System
I am so happy you did this. It upsets me that instead of helping the people read they wouldn't let them go someplace fun. So instead of fixing the problem they were making people feel bad for having the problem.
Satisfying!!

OMG this is amazing. LOL. Maybe she could post an anonymous sign with tomato growing/caretaking instructions. Also, I do the same thing with my bee balm (also called wild bergamot) whenever I water it. I just rub a leaf between my fingers and smell it. SO GOOD.

There Are Still Good People In This World
Banned Books Are The Best Reads
"Moms for Liberty" is a Republican Conservative organization that started as a group fighting against COVID prevention measures, and later expanded their scope into campaigning against LGBT rights, racial equality, inclusion initiatives, vaccine mandates, freedom of religion and education. They have been proven to have financial ties with the republican parties and the "Proud Boys" neofascist organization. They themselves have been branded an "extremist far-right organization" by several independent advisory groups, and their methods include astroturfing campaigns, direct harassment of teachers and public servants, legal and personal threats, bounties to encourage violence or further harassing of teachers and even openly encouraging shooting liberal teachers.

Yes there is? Well at least in the UK. It’s called Obtaining a Pecuniary Advantage by Deception under the Fraud Act. So you get a financial reward for lying, which is why you shouldn’t lie to get a job.
