Good in the world
So, lately, I've been feeling pretty down about the state of...everything. And why not, right? Alot of things are just horrible, and I wouldn't even know where to begin fixing it.
But...the more sorrow I take on seeing others hurt, the less I'm able to actually help them. It's a bit of a vicious cycle, and frankly: I'm done with it.
Sometimes hope isn't just born, i guess. Sometimes you have to nurture it.
So this is basically a thread of the good things in the world. Feel free to add to it! Even personal anecdotes of experiencing that good are welcome!
I want it to be like, a really really long thread xD I want to believe it can.
So, the first one, without further ado:
We can listen to the sounds from 270 World Heritage sites- for free, from anywhere, thanks to this amazing project! How is that not smile-worthy? xD
We are back! This time with good news that made it to the international news channels, too!
Our scientists are once again science-ing their way- this time through heriditary diseases! Heres to all the amazing people that helped make this possible:
a million sources for this one- but the image above is from here
Sorry, there is good news, eyes is sick and busy 🥹 keep up hoping guys, theres alot of kindness in the world 🤍

Woah, almost a week. Sorry buddies, had a bit of a bad time. Don't worry, I've got 3 good news for you to make up for it :D
Thailand and Cambodia have agreed on a ceasefire after days of border clashes! Guess who didn't hear about this in international news? Seriously, it's like theyre trying to upset us 🫢 Here's to peace in these two lovely countries! More here!
Welsh scientists are a step closer in tackling potato blight, a devastating crop disease. An app developed by them gives farmers an early warning for the disease. No more suprise attacks on our potatos, I hope :) fact check me here!
And here's one that speaks of community impact! Voluntary community patrols in the amazon (not the company xD) have reduced environmental crime by....drum roll please...80%! This amazing accomplishment was achieved by people as ordinary as you and I. Maybe there's more to us than meets the eye, eh? xD Doubt me? Check here! (It's okay I won't judge you)
Be safe all 🤍
I had no idea Thailand and Cambodia were sparring O.O
@jesusredeemedme2425 me neither. The things they dont tell you...😬

Starting off strong today with....dragons! Grand Cayman's blue dragons, an absolute marvel of nature, defy expectations and return from near extinction. These lizards, called Blue Iguanas officially and Blue Dragons fondly, moved from 'critically endangered' to 'endangered on the red list', according to my source here :) Here are the mighty dragons themselves, for you to gaze upon in awe:
Pic source: see here.
Trigger warning: regarding traffic accidents, but more specifically the reduction in them!
Not a single traffic related death in the whole past year in Helsinki- really good news! A clear sign that there are solutions, and it's about time we stopped sighing at tragedies and started preventing them. Read more about this hope inducing tid-bit here!
Last but not the least, Amsterdam protects its furry friends via mini staircases, ensuring cats can safely leave its canals. Read more here, tw (drowning) for the link!
