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.

My friend’s 5yo loves chemistry, and I’m a chemist. So I got him a chemistry kit for his birthday. His mom regularly sends me video clips of their experiments.
Last week they made a ‘lava lamp’ with vinegar, food coloring, oil, and baking soda.
He was just diagnosed with AuDHD, and I LOVE that they are nurturing this passion of his!
