I WANT TO CREATE A REAL-LIFE HERO NETWORK. I’m sick of online activists just shouting from the sidelines. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and do something yourself rather than waiting like a damsel in distress for some government, corporation, or charity to solve the problem, I’m now taking applications for actual “do the work” hero projects. I’m shouting out (or funding) those who live the RLSF ethos and do uncommon good no one else does, moving from the “is this possible” to “how can we make this possible” way of thinking–from the “there’s a problem HALP” to “here are specific ideas for smart solutions.” Sometimes we don’t need capes, just brains.
So join my hunt for real heroes and hero tips, as I send out IRL #SUPERHEROALERTS 
…powered and funded by the scifi and fantasy stories that get me visualizing my becoming in the first place. Click “READ MORE” to check out some of these hero projects we’re working on, or scroll down to read some #superheroalerts:
ONGOING PROJECTS FROM #SUPERHEROALERT SUBSCRIBERS:
-Flo Mims is a trucker using her geographical knowledge to find and take care for pockets of unhoused people all along her route.
-Thomas Lockwood and his wife are engineers who went to their city council to battle corporations that were trying to halt expansion of a rehabilitation center for unhoused people in their city. They’re now looking at data for their next step in helping this center move forward.
-A number of subscribers are anti-suicide advocates who have directly stopped suicide attempts in person. Others operate a mutual support network through a private mental health discord started by the RealDoctorRogueASMR channel.
-Several #superheroalert subscribers are combat medical veterans who’ve saved lives under fire, now using their retirement to recover, and support worthy causes run by youth behind them.
-There’s also my personal project to bring mobile healthcare to indigenous communities in South America.
