It's cold. It's dark. There's a lot of terrible things happening in the world right now, and the forced merriment of the holiday season can often feel so dissonant with how we feel individually.
With that in mind, can folks share things that they're feeling hopeful about right now? It could be some positive news about the on-going #covid19 #pandemic, #ClimateChange, local organizing you've seen in your area, or just something you personally are happy about or looking forward to.
I need some #positivity right now, and I'm sure others do as well.
Here's my contribution: My area's local libraries have started giving away free #covid tests again. It seems small, but it's a reminder to people that covid is still a problem, and maybe some people who wouldn't otherwise test will now and possibly avoid spreading covid.
