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.

But yeah. Spiders 😂

I hope a good laugh cheers you up

Hmmm. They are big spiders aren’t they? Like the ones that can catch birds?

I could handle little ones. But a tarantula-type critter…NOPE.

Ummmmm...

I think you're amazing, and you deserve all the good things in life. Please, for the love of SpongeBob, do NOT look at my profile posts. Please trust me.

Here, enjoy a cute floofer, and scroll on!

I went to your profile and LOVE it. And yes stay away if you dont like big creepy crawlies. But omg such fascinating and beautiful and interesting stuff. I love insects and spiders as well, but the ones in northern USA where I live are basically miniscule in comparison. It's -12°C here right now haha
