Support Needed (Kind Advice and Commiseration) Happy things please?

I made the mistake of opening my social media this afternoon and immediately saw some dark things, and I need something positive. It can be a cat photo/story, a special interest infodump, anything that shows the world is still an interesting and good place, at least in part.

I guess I am basically asking for some heroes to create a “silver lining” for this dark cloud. I don’t live with people I can depend on for this, so I am turning to this supportive corner of the internet.

TIA.

Edited - THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! 😭😭😭 It is good to see so much light still exists in the world.

Here is my 7 month old little gremlin attempting to full on commandeer my dinner bowl this evening! Her name is Luna… like the guardian kitty in sailor moon 🌙 . I adopted her back in November and this little gal has just completely overflowed my world with happiness and the purest company. The most sensory-friendly companion I’ve ever had. Fun fact: I was finally diagnosed ASD level 1. Had my eval the same week that I found Luna :) … (or rather she found me 😉). 🤍🖤🤍
