What is this blog?
This is a blog for spreading positivity, cheer, kindness, and smiles with hopes of brightening people's day one anonymous gift at a time.
People can send in messages of kindness, encouragement, affirmation, and positivity or even gifts (such as short stories) along with their friend's username. The messages will then be posted here anonymously with your friend tagged so they can see their surprise. The recipient is then encouraged to keep the positivity train going by sending in a message of their own to someone!
Why is this blog called 'the mug blog'?
There is a tradition often around Halloween time called 'Booing' where friends will secretly leave treats on each other's door steps. There are similar but different named versions of this for all sorts of holidays and even a year-round version called 'Mugging' where typically co-workers leave mugs of treats for each other.
This blog aims to be a digital version of the tradition and uses the latter as name inspiration
How do I submit something?
The same way you would send things to any blog. You can use the ask box to send in whatever you have. Please follow the rules/guidelines below.
Once we receive a message it is copied and pasted into a new post and posted without your name so that the kindness gift is completely anonymous to the recipient.
What are the rules for submitting?
- Please no nsfw/nsfl content. Keep everything appropriate for a general/wide audience as anyone who comes upon this blog will be able to see it and everyone is welcome here.
- This is about spreading smiles not hate. Try to keep the central message uplifting or positive.
- Include the tumblr username of the person you are sending to so we can tag them and they can be notified.
- You may include words of positivity, encouragement, kindness, short stories, graphic goodies like icons or headers, etc or a mix to give to your recipient.
- Please be patient. It might take some time for us to post your message.
I was 'mugged'. Do I have to 'mug' someone back?
Nope! It's absolutely not required to send something in if you were given a mug. You also don't have to be mugged to send something in. Just hop in if you're feeling it!
I have a question or curiosity that isn't listed here.
Feel free to send an ask and we'll answer your question as soon as we can.
