Very nice family to take in that hooman child. Now that doggo is happy too.
Aw... so sweet... he's out of the shelter, he's got a new family... and even his own German Shepherd.
Every dog needs a kid, and every kid needs a dog. Even if the kid is really a grownup who’s just a big kid at heart.
Bahaha, no, many many dogs would absolutely prefer to live without children.

These Are Some Pretty Awesome Selfies
Physical beauty fades quickly, but a beautiful attitude comes from the heart and soul. You have that. The people who dont appreciate that are ugly to their core! Good for you!
Load More Replies...I’d rather see her warm, friendly face than a Kardashian or a puffy-lipped “influencer” any day!
Why can't people just leave people alone? They get literally nothing from telling someone else they're ugly, especially a stranger. Good for Melissa for staying true to herself
It reinforces their ego. A holes will be A holes.

Leave the world 1 mounth without janitors, it would be litteral chaos. They deserve way more recognition, including wages.
While they don't work in a clinic or hospital, Janitors/Custodians are health care workers. They keep areas sanitized so the average person does not get sick.

You live another day to influence! Yeah, this world needs more influencers.
Resch told Elite Daily that he struggled with sobriety more than a decade ago, before getting completely sober at the age of twenty-two. Now being thirty-eight, Resch recalls: "I would be frustrated that I wasn't positive, but I wasn't looking for anything to be positive [about], so it was a vicious downward cycle where I was unhappy and I looked for things to justify my unhappiness. When I got sober, I thought doing that would kill me. So, I felt like I needed to be positive to survive."
In 2017, Resch created Tank's Good News, the hugely successful project that stems from his frustration with the negativity of current news. “CNN, Fox... they've made a business out of creating a visceral reaction out of people but that reaction is fear, anxiety and negativity," he explained. He didn’t know there was a market for good news, yet said he knew “if I could make people feel good, they would come back."
Kids Do Better When They Know They Have Someone Who Cares About Them
Even with kids who do have fathers, this is still needed. Anyone can be a father but not all are Dads.
The boy on the far left wins the tie competition.... or maybe he "tied" with the boy in the middle.
Load More Replies...This ! Kids don't "need" dads, moms or other, they need milestones, figures to look up to, knowing they can be safe with someone. Parents can do that, sure, but you can always help
Courtney gave a fair opinion. I think a more accurate statement would be “parents SHOULD do that, but you can always help” Kids may have terrible parents and be taken to a loving home. Helping can well, help, but love is essential and heart breaking when it can’t be found.
Load More Replies...I'm happy some teachers not only take pride in helping their pupils learn, but help them learn life skills too. Such great mentors. I hope there are similar men in these boys' middle & high schools, so they & other boys can continue to learn about dads.

If the woman isn't old enough to be your mother, you can also say "sister" and most of us younger women will have your back too.

This happened to me when I was 15. A guy noticed me in the bus, got off after me and followed me to the cinema, where I was supposed to meet my friend. He tried to talk to me and ask me out and even asked to pay for my ticket, but I said no thanks and bought my own ticket. 5 minutes later my friend reached and I told her about this guy who'd been following me. An older man, who was standing near us, overhead me and thankfully immediately alerted the cinema security. Turns out, as soon as I had finished purchasing my own ticket, the creep had convinced the ticket lady that he was with us, and asked her our seat numbers, to buy a ticket right next to me. Thankfully the other guy had noticed something fishy about the h Whole thing, as I myself was still too young or naive to know how to react
my bestie who is a girl and i am a guy had a neighbour that used to always hit on her he was an older guy but she was getting really annoyed by so one day after i had visited her he saw me on my way home i am a big guy so she told him i was her boyfriend on and i was on my way to an MMA match that i was in he never bothered her again after that
The huge popularity of Tank's Good News reflects not only its creator's but our shared fatigue with what’s happening on the screens and media. The worst scenarios are bombarding us every day and it’s only fair we get fed up with it. To find out more about it, what this negative exposure does to our mental wellbeing and how can we be more resilient to it, we spoke with Dr. Lise Deguire, a clinical psychologist and author of award-winning memoir “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor.”
Dr. Lise said that indeed many people report that their mood is negatively affected by the news. “Of course, the news itself tends to focus on negative occurrences. For example, the news will report on the terrible car accident that happened. They will not, of course, report on the thousands of people that safely drove that day. (Safe, happy occurrences are not usually considered news.) But, because the news focuses so much on negative events, it can make us feel that only bad things are happening in the world,” she explained.
The clinical psychologist added that the news often focuses on events that make us fearful, “because when we are afraid, we tend to think we need to keep watching the news.”

She Can Flex Everyday. Congratulations
Don't sell yourself short. You're alive because you worked hard as hell to overcome the obstacles life threw your way. Even when that obstacle was your own mind.
I hope you have learned how valuable, beautiful, and precious you are through your battles. Never stop fighting the voices that want you to give up on yourself. They never really go away, but you hold the power over them, not the other way around. Get it, girl!! Keep going after the things you can flex on.
Mistaken Love Is Still Love

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself in the checkout line.
Load More Replies...When asked what are psychological benefits to reducing the time you spend on social media and watching TV, Dr. Lise said that when her clients report anxiety, sadness or anger about the news, she often encourages them to limit their news/social media exposure. “Most of us can stay informed through a quick read of the headlines. Having the news on in the background, or checking Twitter all day, often distresses people because the news almost always focuses on scary negative events and ignores positive ones,” she explained.
This Is Genius
Her name is Nzambi Matee. I feel like black women are often not given the credit they deserve and I feel like it is an oversight to write about her accomplishments and not name her.

Don’t Mess With These Kids, They Have Backup
Bikers get such bad press a lot of the time, it’s great to see the kindness and compassion too
I actually grew with bikers in the 80's. My mother dated a member. People dont understand that bikers are family oriented, kind, helpful. They get a bad rap based on appearance, they form clubs so they can be around like minded people because society has cast them as outcasts because they dont dress and act like the norm. And every club member I knew was a skilled tradesman for one of the big three.
Load More Replies...there is a small biker gang in my city that hang out with kids who are bullied so the bullies know not to mess with them and the bullied kids don't feel so alone
Most of them prefer club. Anyway.. the bikers in your town sounds like a good one. ^^,

BACA is a fabulous organization that does wonderful things for kids.
Amazing people! I can’t even imagine how difficult it would be for young victims to testify in court.
BACA! Bikers Against Child Abuse! I used to work at a print shop, we printed all the business cards for them in Las Vegas! Great work to them abs shout out!!!
I’m An Organ Donor, I Won’t Need Them Anymore
My brother saved several people though the donation of his body. I had to make the choice cause he was to young to do so. They sent me a letter with some of the stories of the recipients. I would choose to do it again everytime. It helped me heal knowing his life was selfless.
What an incredibly generous and kind thing to do. I hope the knowledge of the lives he saved and improved lessens the pain of his loss, somewhat.
Load More Replies...What a difference this young man made in the lives of these others. He deserves this honor!!!
Why does this question sign has any upvotes, I'm very confused
Load More Replies...The greatest gift anyone can give. One person deciding to become an organ donor can save a dozen lives and improve dozens more with advancing technologies.
My organ donor was a young skydiver that had one last, tragic jump at sunset. I was told that he was still aware enough to agree to donate his organs for transplant before he passed. I have never met him, yet part of him has been living inside me for 20 years. I hope he approves of what I have done with his gift. My daughter grew up with a loving father. I hope that's enough of an accomplishment for the young skydiver.
The good news is that we can all learn to become more positive and resilient to negativity. “One way is to learn who or what makes us feel good, and who or what makes us feel bad. For example, my mood usually improves when I listen to music or go outside. My mood usually goes downhill when I stop exercising. All of us have activities that lift us up or bring us down.”
Dr. Lise also said that the more aware we can be, the better choices we can make. “Does it help you to dance? Write? Call a friend? Take a bath? See if you can figure out what is in your positivity 'toolbox,'" she suggested.
Todd Winn, You Are An Inspiration To People Everywhere Who Are Fighting The Good Fight
I never heard of this! Why?? I wish medias (internationals and from my country) would talk about these amazing people more! Because they deserve it of course but also because we need it! We need to be remembered how many precious people we have in our world <3
The shoes he are wearing are probably made by Bates. As a member of the USN for 28 years I can tell you with certainly the shoes did not melt..but they consistently degrade over time and the soles of the shoes delaminate, dissolve and degrade to such a point as they turn to a black mess as evidenced in the photograph. While I applaud his efforts, the story's headline is untrue. Had he been exposed to heat extreme enough to melt his shoes, he would have passed out from heat stroke well before that happened.

It is absolutely monstrous that in the US (and some other places too) a criminal record can keep someone from getting a job. How are people supposed to make their way back into society if no one will hire them? What alternatives do we give people if they can't earn money? The for-profit prison system is even worse than the for-profit health system in the US, and that's saying something. (And the fact that slavery remains legal for incarcerated people - if you don't understand how that gives police an INCENTIVE to lock people up and how they focus on people who traditionally have less power in society, then you are impossibly naive).
Agreed. Rant in 3..2..1..Let’s take this compassion and also pass it on to people who get “canceled”, fired and lose many job opportunities because of something they said 20 years ago. Some of the same people that cry for prison reform will then participate in destroying someone’s life the next minute for something they said in 1996. A troubled past should not follow you forever. Many people in the prison system that have paid their price are disregarded and it is sad and needs to be changed. Some offenses though are hard to build back from. Unfortunately when someone is “expelled” when tried by a jury of their peers or a jury of a multitude of people they don’t even know they are rarely checked up on to see if there was any progress. Trust me I know. When you commit a crime or an “offense” you can learn real quick how expendable you are. I’ve said to many people if you don’t believe in the death penalty, but believe in the social death penalty you need to check yourself. “And yes before you wreck yourself”

Never Stop Talking, You Don’t Know Who’s Listening
Very few people are good 100% of the time. That's what makes us human. We learn from our mistakes and grow. You were there when it mattered most, and that counts for a lot.
My dad was in hospice care and they told us the day it would happen. We stood around him telling him we loved him(very sick/heavily medicated, he couldn't respond other than looking at us) and that it was ok to let go. After he stopped breathing and the monitor started alarming my sister started screaming. 15 seconds later heart is beating again, he's breathing, and he opens his eyes and looks at her. They most certainly can still hear you.
He was probably like WTH is with the screaming? You guys said it was ok to let go.
Load More Replies...My husband was in a coma for 5 weeks. I talked to him, sang to him, touched him. Although he doesn't recall any of it, he made it back when the drs gave him no chance at survival.
When I was in a coma I had dreams is things that were going on around me. I woke up and asked questions; I didn't know they were dreams. My family was like, "how did you know that?". I didn't understand why they were asking.
Load More Replies...She loved you until her dying breath, I can promise you that, and you talking her out of this life and into the next meant everything to her.
I was also in a coma for a week after surgery. Turned out I was allergic to opiates and stopped breathing.I had no sense of time. I unable to think out where I was or why I was there. I have faint recollections of me floating on the ceiling looking down and my sister talking to me and family. But I couldn't talk or move. When I was waking up I was delusional and had awful hallucinations. When I was more awake I asked for a psychiatric consult just to make sure I still had all my marbles.

I actually practice against my own "ghost car" almost everyday in my futile attempt to feel like a real race car driver. Make me wish I had a ghost lap of my own dad. I just know that if he hadn't passed away too soon and too young before these games were available, he would have loved playing them. We were both gearheads and spent many weekends riding motorcycles in the hills and mountains of central Italy. This guy has a precious gift in that x-box. I'd be terrified to beat it by mistake.
Small Acts Of Kindness Usually Have The Biggest Impact
Whenever my son and I go to an amusement park he gets to choose a friend to come along on my expenses. I consider it a win win win situation. He gets to play with a friend, the friend gets somewhere he wouldn't come otherwise and I have a more relaxing day.
Here goes my eyes again .Reminds me of a time back in the 80s these two neighbor boys were given one oil soaked tortilla in a brown paper bag every day for their school lunch. I would make those boys a lunch mon thru Friday of a nutritional meal. I always wonder if they remember this.
I had an aunt who did this for me at a birthday party. She could see i was embarrassed to not bring anything and took me aside to pick a toy for my cousin. Ill never forget how it felt.
I do this for my "nephew." He is autistic, but always wants to make sure he gets something for his mom, and "our" cat. This Christmas he picked out a necklace that says Mama, and a catnip fishing pole.

This happened to my dad when my parents had just adopted my little sister. She didn’t like/was kinda sacred of my dad and would only let my mom hold her….unless my dad was giving her food😂. She eventually came around and loves both of our parents tons😄! It’s been 10 years since she was adopted😊😊

Convicted in Britain in 1952 for “gross indecency”. He was given the option of jail or chemical castration, he chose castration. 2 years later he died of cyanide poisoning, it was ruled a suicide but there is evidence it could have been accidental. It took until 2009 for George Brown to apologize for the way he was treated, in response to pressure from an online petition. That year the queen pardoned him. 57 years later and much progress was made in that regard before 2009. In the WWII museum in NOLA you could pretty much only find a record of his achievements if you were looking for them or are the type of museum goer that reads everything. Terrible. Also watch The Imitation Game with Cumberbatch about him. It’s a good watch
When you think of all the lives Alan Turing and the code-breakers saved, it makes his treatment by the government even more heinous.

Mr. Rogers was an amazing person. He was an ordained minister, but instead of ministering to a church congregation, he ministered to children through his tv show. I think that's why he had such a calm peacefulness about him. 🥰❤

You never stop being a parent supporting your child in any way you can. My mom just gave my 50 yr old brother a pick up truck because he couldn’t afford one and needed it for work SMH. Our job of being parents is never over.
Sometimes I wish my parents had been able to provide all that for me when I was in my late teens and 20s. But I know that instead I learned how to provide for myself and that's the greatest gift.

This Guy Gets It Done
He got it passed, but the Republicans watered it down to it doesn't cover uninsured people and only applies to people on state-regulated insurance plans. Or put simply, only 16 percent of Texans actually benefit from the cap. I can't imagine living in a country where whether everyone has the right to access life-saving drugs cost-free is even up for DEBATE! It just doesn't sound credible to someone who lives in the developed world.
So, wrong again. The GOP wanted to make sure it went to citizens that needed it. Not illegal aliens. Meaning, our own citizens would get left behind. There is a NATIONAL bill to do this for all....but look it up in Congress dot gov. It was stalled by guess who.....Nancy Pelosi! Why do you lie? We can look it up. But most Democrats just follow CNN and blindly believe those lies. Gimme a break.

Load More Replies...I live in Sweden with Medicare for all. We also have a maximum cost for prescription meds of $268 in a 12 month period. After that my prescriptions are free to the end of the 12 month period when it restarts. I take a lot of prescription medication to keep me alive so it took 3 months to hit the maximum which means 9 months of completely free meds. Should work that way in the usa
Germany has medical insurance for all as well. Each prescription you receive costs €5, no matter what it is. If you're on a limited income and have a lot of prescriptions, the insurance company will even make sure you don't have to pay the charge. I used to work in a clinic where they specialized in medical tourism, people came from all over the world for surgery. Sometimes family members, who weren't insured needed meds or treatment. Insulin costs like €15 a pen here, the vails are even cheaper. People from the US were always shocked how cheap medical care is.
Load More Replies...I have an even better idea: let's all pay a fraction of a cent in taxes and make insulin free for all diabetics. Maybe we can agree to pay a whole few $$ more a year and make all life saving medications free for everybody that needs them? I would cut to the chase and make all medications free (at the point of sale), but I am sure there would be complaints from the "I don't want to pay for other people meds because if it doesn't affect me it's not my problem" crowd.

That's espacially sad cause most big stores would accept to prep your groceries in advance and put them in your trunk. Especially if you need help like by being elderly in a pandemic. I feel them though, it is hard to think through during such panick. I just hope they found a more reliable way to safely buy their groceries.
You're right. It seems that those most-affected and vulnerable are the ones that have difficulty accessing the support they need. Not everyone can navigate the internet and that can be overlooked sometimes.

It's called being a decent human being and helping those in need. I also set aside an hour just to socialize with them as many have no one to talk to. I enjoy listening to them about " ths old day."

and i still don't care... and i don't say it in a bad way. who cares if someone gay or not? why should you changed your behavior toward someone who's gay?
Because when he came out, people did care and did change their behaviour. People would be attacked, denied work, etc. It's much better now but homophobic attacks and bullying are still a thing. So we should normalise it as much as possible and even celebrate it, in order to change those last remaining public perceptions.

While this is a great sentiment and it had great intentions, it's not entirely true. Some people definitely do regret coming out - whether it be losing friends, being cut off from family, being kicked out of the house or abused, or many other reasons. So saying "I've never met a gay person who regretted coming out" comes off as a bit ignorant and privileged. It's not always safe to come out.
Considering that there are something like a hundred different kinds of mammals who have gay and straight partners. But it isn't 'natural' say the idiots. Hah. Being natural is being you.
I regret coming out as trans to my parents. They said a lot of really terrible things to me and now I'm scared they're going to find out that I'm out as a guy at school and with all my friends. They all care about me and support me but aside from that, coming out just made me a lot more scared. That's my parents fault though.
I am so sorry that your parents did that to you! You should not have to be scared because of your parents. Yes it is your parent's fault, not yours. Be true to yourself and proud of who you are! This is from an old Christian lady who believes that we should all stop judging each other and love one another instead.

Wholesome Dad Award
I grew up with a dad who was pretty handy around the house. Learned a lot from him. I thought this was normal for everyone. After I met my wife and sons I remember working on a car in the driveway and asked one of the boys to hand me a philips screwdriver. Kid had no idea what I wanted. Wife didn't know anything about tools either. It blew my mind, but I had dad in the back of my head telling me I didn't know anything (well the words I imagined from him were a little more colorful). Sat the boys down and went through my whole toolbox with them and got some loose nuts/bolts/screws etc and some scrap wood and started teaching them the basics

Seriously, my man empowers me with every passing year, after four babies and two losses, post-p depression, and body changes out the wahzoo (literally). He still dates me, pursues me, and loves my used up body like he did when it was a floor model
When I was pregnant with my second child I gained 70 pounds and ended up having him 3 weeks early by emergency c-section (cord wrapped around his neck and shoulder). I never lost all the weight no matter how hard I tried. My husband is a mechanic and where he worked at the time had calendars of girls in bikinis on almost all of the toolboxes. Someone asked him why he didn't have one on his toolbox and he said he didn't need one because he was married to a supermodel, then showed the guy a picture of me and our two children. The guy laughed at him and said " that's not a supermodel", to which my husband replied "she is to me!" We will be celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary in September 2022....
My wife is more beautiful to me now than when we married 18 years ago!
I like the spirit of his comment, but the phrases "this woman has given all of herself to me" and "her body is mine" seem problematic. Nobody owns anyone's body but themselves, and language suggesting otherwise promotes codependency and unhealthy relating.
The terms he used to me are appropriate. "Her body is mine" is, as I tell my husband, for him only, and " has given all of herself to me" signifies a man who is confident in his wife's faithfulness and commitment to their marriage. Such a relationship is not all that common anymore and he is telling us how much he loved her and respects her.

But in 2016, he apparently smacked his head on something, and developed a brain bleed. My mom called an ambulance, and he refused to be taken to the hospital 3 times despite being erratic for weeks. He developed memory issues, and motor control issues for awhile, i was living 7000 miles away in Europe, and my mom couldn't afford to spend $60 each way on cabs, or 3 hours taking buses to get down there more than once a week. A few weeks before he died, he was getting progressively worse (went on to find he had pancreatic cancer) was in a lot of pain, and couldn't remember what the doctors were saying and we could never talk to them. So i told him about the voice memo app on his phone. I told him to hit record when the doctors came in. He never did....but i did find his test recordings after he died.

My dumbass sitting here thinking, 'I wonder what language it is?' 🙄
Tips for communicating clearly - whether because someone is still learning the language, or because they are hard of hearing, or because they have a learning disability or brain injury. Speak a little slower - not unnaturally slow - and face the person so they can see your lips (obvs that part doesn't apply if you're wearing a mask). Keep sentences SHORT and simple. If you have to ask them questions, make them yes or no answers if possible, or a simple choice between two things (eg instead of "What would you like to drink?" ask "Would you like tea? Or coffee?"). Avoid idioms, slang, and extra words. Be patient. Smile a lot.
Story Time
One time I saw two young, black, females checking out at the grocery store (I’ll explain why I used these three descriptors later on in the caption). They had all of their groceries rang up and in bags already, when it came time to pay, they ran the debit card. It got declined, once, then twice. One sister looked at the other worriedly. I keyed in immediately. They tried another card, denied, once then twice. Then they pulled out the EBT card. I assumed they didn’t want to pull this out because of how some people look at people who use EBT cards (shame on THEM, not you). There wasn’t enough on it to cover the bill. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes and shrugged, half “Oh well”, half “Oh my god, what are we gonna do?”. I stepped in immediately and said “Please let me help you”. I mentioned they were young black and female because I’m an older white male, and I know that sometimes help can be seen as an act of pity, which in my case it was not at all. I wasn’t insinuating they couldn’t take care of themselves, I was just a human being watching two other human beings struggle. They seemed shocked but allowed me to help. We parted ways, but as God would have it, we wound up parked right next to each other. They were still sitting there because they were crying. Their mother had just died. They didn’t know how they were going to eat that night, or any of the following nights. I forgot the girls name, but we briefly connected on here. If you see this, please send me a dm to let me know how you and your sister are doing. Sorry for the long caption but this video hit me hard.

Our son used to introduce us to people in stores that we went to. He would say, "Hi, my name is Sam and this is my mom and my dad and my brother." :)
I Don’t Believe In This Left vs. Right, Or Liberal vs. Conservative Narrative. There Is No Line In The Middle. The Lines Are At The Extreme Ends, With A Lot Of Gray Area In The Middle. The Problem Is, The Media (And Social Media), Wants You To Believe That Anybody Even Slightly Left Of Center Is A Screeching Liberal, And Anybody Slightly Right Of Center Is A Raging Nazi. I Know (Not Believe, Know) That This Is Not The Case. Let’s Get Rid Of The Line In The Middle, Find Some Common Ground, And Work From There
While this is true it should be kept in mind only ONE side tried to overthrow their government, only ONE side says "all lives matter" in response to someone saying "black lives matter", only ONE side is trying to disenfranchise black people's ability to vote as a matter of POLICY. You are only as strong as your weakest link.
Only ONE side responds to everything with violence. It doesn't matter if you yourself haven't committed atrocious acts, if you support someone who does, you're just as bad.

Thousands of people united to try to overthrow the government and dozens or hundreds of politicians won’t condemn them, with thousands more citizens thinking they were right to do so or else blaming other people for it. Saying “there’s a gray line in the middle” is just chickenshit at this point. There was a gray line in the middle decades ago. The gray line is no longer in the middle.
After 6 Years
They hadn’t seen their brother in SIX years. I am blubbering right now lol and not because I’m a beluga whale, these teenagers were probably little boys the last time they say him. I’m so happy for all parties involved
There's a video of them taking this photograph. And then they show the photograph to the two boys in the front and the dad to check it out to see if it looks okay. Meanwhile the tall one in the back had ducked hiding out of sight. So when the two boys look at the photograph, they saw their big brother in the picture but they didn't see their brother when they looked around. It took a moment for them to realize that he had just been in the photo and that he is there. It's a beautiful little video clip. I probably watched it 10 times.
Either She Hates Work Or Loves Her Boyfriend, Either Way, Let’s All Try To Have This Same Kind Of Energy
She looks like she feels accomplished at the end of her workday and loves her BF! Love the photos.

I Rarely Take A Direct Political Stance On This Page, Because I Believe What We Do Here Is Bigger Than Politics. But This Is A Win For Decency And Compassion, So It’s A Win For Us
Republican or Democrat, anything saving us from the Trump demagaguery is a win.
What does this mean...? I am so confused. He's a democrat.... She's a democrat... What is happening?
First black and first female vice-president. And a man who really just wants to get things back on track without so much hate-speak.

No, he doesn't. This was debunked. They are still alive, but he never owned them.
I just hope that tank is bigger than it looks. The fact they're thriving after all this time suggests it is.
Man, why do I read posts like this. I am pregnant, therefore I cry when I,for example, see nice flower and this caused waterfalls.
This was beautiful. I really enjoy positivity in such a chaotic world.
This article brings tears to my eyes, warmth to my heart and hope to my soul! I loved each and every story. Kindness and compassion should never be taken for granted.
I've been emotional the past few days and thought I would be laughing and smiling from these posts... so wrong. I cried my eyes out with a few smiles here and there. But at least it is tears from positivity rather than the stress of life.
I needed this today. Thank you Liucija for putting this thread together.
