Some Good News, and a Little Something You Can Do

in #thegoodnews6 years ago

The MSM is full of doom and gloom again, telling us it's two minutes to midnight and Commander Apricot is going to blow the world to bits because he runs at the mouth. So I thought it was time to add to #thegoodnews !

Good News Story #1:
A rapper and his friends in the UK removed the anti-homeless bars on a bench, and converted them into a shelter instead with a tarp over it! I love that direct action. The anti-homeless bars and spikes are the most cruel and inhumane thing. He made it helpful instead of harmful!

Good News Story #2:
This lady here in Denver has done this event for three years in honor of her father, who was homeless and died of hypothermia: Take This And Keep Warm. Year three was this past November. People hang warm things like sweaters, scarves, jackets, hats, and shoes, in the trees in Civic Center Park (which is where a lot of homeless folks hang out) with notes on them saying to take this, and keep warm.

A Little Something You Can Do:
If you use Fresh Step Litter for your kitties, you can donate the "paw points" to help shelters get free cat litter! Specifically I found out about this because Blind Cat Rescue, who provides a permanent home to blind, FIV+ and FELV+ kitties, collects and can certainly use the help: according to the most recent post on Facebook, they use 70+ boxes of litter per month!

I love "Take This And Keep Warm" ❤
The doomsday thing is on my mind too. Thank you for this:)

It's really such a fear tactic. The minds of the people in charge of Big Red Buttons aren't going to be swayed by it, so it's just Cold War Scare Duck and Cover type shit.

I call him emporer Cheeto. And what is this he did? I dun watch news and apparently missed it. Hmmmmm

Oh, because he and Kim Jong Un keep having a dick measuring contest and Trump keeps talking smack about nukes in various contexts, they moved the dommsday clock to 11:58.

It's really good the way you are giving a good thegoodnews to the world,,,,
I love your post,,, thank you my dear friend for sharing with #Us,,,,,,, and very good job,,,keep it #Up,,,

Thank you! Good luck in your exams!

thank you too,, i always with you,,

I would always much rather hear good news than bad news. All bad news does is scare us and cause anxiety to problems we have no control over.

Exactly. A population in fear allows terrible things to happen in the name of "safety."

Commander apricot. 😆🤣

How do you make an angled laughing emoji? I've always wondered.

Posting from my phone. Hehe.
