Only a few days ago Tiktok user Nab decided to share her experience intervening in the situation we all know too well. Being crept on in the middle of the night by creepy-ass men. We usually try everything we can do to avoid this situation. We try to go out in groups, never walk outside alone, get in and out of our car as fast as we can... but sometimes it's unavoidable. Men will be men.

As we know all too well, the world can be a dangerous place, particularly for a woman walking alone at night in metropolitan areas. Although staying vigilant is key in trying to avoid getting into dangerous situations, sometimes you may need to depend on the help of a kind stranger to keep you safe in certain circumstances. This is exactly the position one woman in NYC found herself in February, who when walking home alone, realized she was being followed by three men. Understanding the potential danger she was in, she approached a stranger and asked him to pretend he knew her, and accompany her home  The stranger tweeted the whole encounter (below) which went viral and inspired many people to thank him, on behalf of women everywhere for helping this woman while she was in a vulnerable state. It doesn't take a lot to show some kindness and help someone in need, like this compassionate stranger shows. 

A US garbageman has warmed the hearts of Americans with his tweet about not stopping his services during the Covid-19 pandemic. He speaks with pride about getting up every day and carrying on at work even though times are tough. He expressed his love for his city, his country, and the world, acknowledging that life still has to continue amidst the Coronavirus madness. He also praised all the healthcare workers on the front line who are persevering in this difficult time, while putting themselves at risk. His beautiful tweet has gone viral, inciting thousands of retweets and comments from people everywhere thanking him for his work. Scroll down to the end to see his reaction to his tweet going viral; something he didn't expect. Thank you, everyone, who is putting themselves at the front line so that we can continue functioning as normally as possible in this difficult and confusing time. 

Modern problems require modern solutions! 

Meet Kaylen Ward, self-titled 'Naked Philanthropist', a hero that comes in little-to-no clothing, proving not all heroes wear capes clothes.

Kaylen Ward single-handedly raised $500,000 by offering nudes in return for donations and it worked. Really, really well. 

"Every $10 you donate = one nude picture from me to your DM. You must send me confirmation that you donated," Ms Ward tweeted on January 4th. 

Ward didn't expect the tweet to go viral, telling Buzzfeed, "I was expecting to raise maybe $1000 but the tweet blew up."

In fact, it seemed to escalate quite quickly. It has just been announced that Instagram deleted Ward's account due to their policy. Unfortunately, Ms Ward revealed there has been major consequences to going down this route... but ultimately stands proudly by her decision.

"My IG got deactivated, my family disowned me, and the guy I like won't talk to me all because of that tweet. But f**k it, save the koalas," she wrote."
