Yep it is that time again.
For the new folks, about every two weeks or so I post a giant thread of good news from all around the world.
The best way to view this is to click on the hashtag and then "pin" that column. So you can just browse it when you need to.
As usual, if the infinite doom loop is appealing to you just filter the hashtag, and you will remain... ya know doomed.
Watch out this is a long thread.....
