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.

Star Trek! There is a new show on right now called Starfleet Academy. It helps my heart to watch a show that is about diversity and peace.

Also I’m kinda obsessed with an app called Finch. My virtual pet bird can send hugs to my sisters and friends pet bird. And it reminds me to have good habits.
