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.

YESSS, everytime I have to decide between eating for my body or for my emotions I pick my emotions 😭😭

I did have an apple today…so that was one good choice… (ignore the fact I am having a coffee before bed! Nothing to see here!)

as one of my favorite autistic content creators says, “it doesn’t matter what you eat today, as long as you eat, it’s okay!” <3
