50 Adorable And Wholesome Posts To Brighten Your Feed, Courtesy Of This IG Page
Constant, ceaseless bad news is ultimately bad for you. Even though most of us know it at this point, it won’t stop us from doomscrolling, getting lost in life updates about another tragedy or just clicking headlines that do nothing but instill dread. So it’s important to sit down and actually take a look at something positive now and then.
We’ve gathered wholesome, heartwarming and adorable posts to, hopefully, help you get through the day. So settle in, prepare to say “aww” more than once, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section down below.

Mohamed Bzeek is a devout Libyan-born Muslim who has spent the last 20 years giving hope and comfort to children no other person would care for ten of whom have died. ‘The key is, you have to love them like your own,’ Bzeek said. ‘I know they are sick. I know they are going to die. I do my best as a human being and leave the rest to God.’ But Bzeek might not have found this calling had it not been for his former wife, Dawn who started care for sick children. They kept the work up even when their son, Adam, was born in 1997 with brittle bone disease and dwarfism. Now, Bzeek is caring for a girl who was born with encephalocele, which left her mentally and physically underdeveloped with parts of her brain protruding from a hole in her skull that had to be surgically removed. ‘I know she can’t hear, can’t see, but I always talk to her,’ he said. I’m always holding her, playing with her, touching her. ... She has feelings. She has a soul. She’s a human being.’

I was just reading more about this amazing man and it made me think of this...my daughter was in the nicu for the first 4months of her life. I cant say that i know what goes on at home after a stranger gives birth but during our time there im surprised how many nicu babies were just....left. The parents just didnt come back one day. I wonder if thats more frequent than with healthy babies? Id say 4 of the 40 babies that were there the same time. Luckily though...we got to see every one leave with new adoptive parents. We got to witness some see their baby for the first time or hug them when they got to take them home but ours wasn't ready. Every one of those babies also left totally 'normal' like no constant/life long care, no physical or mental challenges. How fast their little lives changed

There's something darkly comedic about lying in bed at 2 AM, thumb cramping from the repetitive, downward swipe, watching humanity's greatest hits of catastrophe scroll past like the world's worst slot machine, itself a pretty low bar. The term was invented by Ashik Siddique, a co-chair of Democratic Socialists of America, and it sounds like a heavy metal band, but feels more like a curse.
That’s not some twist of phrasing, research done by the Harvard Medical school has shown this behavior is linked to worse mental well-being and life satisfaction, with the study finding it evokes greater levels of existential anxiety. Essentially, we're voluntarily marinating our brains in a soup of disasters, then wondering why we feel terrible.

A Dutch nursing home has found a brilliant, mutually beneficial model: free housing for college students in exchange for companionship with elderly residents. At Humanitas in Deventer, students live rent-free-with one condition: spend at least 30 hours a month connecting with residents through conversation, shared meals, and simply showing up. This intergenerational living setup doesn’t just tackle loneliness-it boosts mental well-being, breaks down age-related stereotypes, and gives everyone involved a greater sense of purpose. I will always promote the importance of having a life full of loving relationships of all kinds; platonic relationships feed our souls too.

The Dutch have many social services for the elderly, dementia patients, and the infirm. Theirs is a small country, but they value their citizens, and the government takes care of them. They also take care of their young and encourage them to give to society through organizations like this. This is what happens when government values its citizens more than just valuing businesses and people who acquire wealth.
The mechanism is insidiously simple. After several minutes of scrolling through negative content, you feel more anxious, angry, or helpless, and this negativity functions like a lens, causing you to pay more attention to stories that justify and accentuate these feelings. It's a feedback loop worthy of Sisyphus, except he at least got some exercise pushing that boulder.

The two had formed a close friendship over the years, and when Norma needed round-the-clock care, Chris stepped in—raising funds and eventually welcoming her into his home.

A 79-year-old man from Alberta, Canada, went to beauty school last week for a lesson on how to do his wife’s hair and makeup. His wife of 50 years has always “taken pride in” her appearance and “it’s important to her,” but due to failing eyesight it became increasingly difficult. The husband wanted to first learn how to do his wife’s hair as she kept burning herself with a curling wand because of her vision impairment. “He lovingly pulled pictures from his wallet, showing everyone his wife, and boasting about how beautiful she has always been and how talented she was with skill set of typing over 100 words a minute when she was working,” a teacher said. He said, “Her appearance has always been something she has taken pride in and it’s important to her so therefore important to me.”

Doomscrolling can send your mind racing, lead to burnout, and steal your sleep, appetite, motivation, and desire. It's like voluntarily signing up for all the psychological symptoms of actual danger without any of the benefits of, you know, being able to run away from it. Young adults and young men in particular are more at risk.

The Gary Sinise Foundation is a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans. It’s a nonprofit organization, and one of its programs consist of the construction of specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans that are provided mortgage-free. From 2011 to 2021 the Gary Sinise Foundation has raised over $300 million for wounded veterans, first responders, and their families. To date, the Gary Sinise Foundation has built 81 specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded heroes, served more than 1,000,000 meals to America’s defenders across the country, and about 500 support concerts for our troops, sponsored by the foundation.

Here's the revolutionary concept, sometimes looking at something positive is actually good for you. Research has found links between an upbeat mental state and improved health, including lower blood pressure, reduced risk for heart disease, healthier weight, better blood sugar levels, and longer life. Looking at this sort of content is linked to our bodies lowering the levels of our stress hormones. Joy is not just a pleasant luxury but an actual health intervention, which makes doomscrolling roughly equivalent to chain-smoking despair cigarettes.

When he was 10 years old, he arrived to Nashville to live with the Gill family. At first he was timid and didn’t want to talk, choosing to spend all his time in his room, looking at old pictures. Andrew has four siblings that were adopted straight away, leaving him all alone. The Gills were supposed to be Andrew’s foster parents until he found the right family for him. With gentle love and persistence, Andrew learned to regulate his emotions and started opening up to his new family. Andrew started coming out of his shell when their son invited him to play video games together. A counselor asked Andrew if he’d like to be adopted by them on a walk and he agreed. He didn’t expect to see balloons and placards and the big smiles of the Gills and family friends, nor did he expect to see their son wearing a shirt that said, “Will you be my brother?”. Overwhelmed, Andrew burst into tears and gratefully accepted his new family’s offer. “Thank you you for not giving up on me,” he said when the Gills asked.

I was in Abu Dhabi during the gulf war, we were told if we had to be evacuated we were to turn our pets loose or find a local person to leave them with. The hell. Our plan was to drive to the east coast, find the Royal Navy ship which was readying to repatriate Brits. If they refused to let me bring the dog, I would have asked them to shoot him in front of me. Luckily it didn't come to that, we brought him back to UK when our contract finished, and he had a long and happy time here.

During the summer season in Croatia, beach safety gets a unique upgrade-with the help of specially trained dog lifeguards. These incredible canines, often Newfoundlands, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, are not just adorable beach companions. They undergo up to three years of intensive training to master water rescues, learning to recognize distress signals, swim through strong currents, and tow swimmers to safety. Some are even trained to leap from boats or helicopters during emergencies. Originally inspired by Italy’s program, Croatia’s initiative began in the late 1970s and has grown into a respected system that blends tradition and innovation. Working side by side with human lifeguards, these dogs don’t just save lives-they offer emotional comfort in high-stress situations. Their strength, loyalty, and gentle nature make them ideal guardians of the shore, ensuring that beachgoers are safe, supported, and smiling

In 2013, Scotland launched a charming tourism campaign that captured hearts around the world by dressing two Shetland ponies, Fivla and Vitamin, in hand-knitted cardigans made from local wool. The campaign, part of the “Year of Natural Scotland,” aimed to showcase the country’s stunning landscapes and traditional craftsmanship. The adorable images quickly went viral, reaching over 576 million people globally and attracting widespread media coverage. Not only did it boost interest in Scottish tourism, but it also sparked renewed appreciation for local knitwear. Its runaway success even inspired follow-up campaigns—like putting cozy cardigans on Highland cows.

A local teen has turned his passion for pups into something extra special, a charity for dogs. He even used his own money from dog walking and pet sitting to get it off the ground. Alex Flowers (@theirbestdayever) of Havertown, has loved animals his whole life, with a special love for dogs. Some requests are basic, like a hike in Valley Forge National Historic Park, in King of Prussia with Aspen, an almost 9-year-old German Shepherd losing his sight. Other best days have included a day at the beach in Jupiter, Florida, frolicking in the water, a hike in Bushkill Falls, in the Poconos, for Max who lost his owner, to Scout, who has arthritis and had unlimited use of a pool for the summer.

A photographer and his wife planted 2 million trees over 20 years, successfully restoring a destroyed forest in Brazil. This incredible effort not only brought the forest back to life but also led to the return of numerous animals, creating a thriving ecosystem.

I'm all for rich guys buying land so it can be left alone. The others, not so much. YOU: tech billionaires. If you buy land, preserve it for the public. EDIT: lets be real. Population is dwindling and so are people's 401ks and other investments. We can't go on vacations and Bezos and Meta are buying all the land for their vacation paradise while people are starving. No wonder there is a backlash against the musks of the world. He sells faulty cars that burn people to death, yet I have to scavenge two years expiration date cans of tuna and soup to eat.

I have been seeing ads for a Ted Turner documentary. He purchased hundreds of thousands of acres of land in a western state. He spent money to rehabilitate the land and now has many types of birds and animals on it the are native to the area. Turner always put his money where his mouth is.

I think Charlie Munger (RIP) was like that too. Warren Buffet's right hand guy. He was very modest and no limelight. Strangely, I once met him on an island in northern Minnesota when I was young and visiting a friend's cabin on Star Island. He did a lot to preserve the island and made donations to the community. He was very unassuming and we were just walking an island path. Had no idea until I was told later.

The majority of wealthy people buy land to lock it up so that no one else can enjoy it. Then they r**e the land for timber, oil, or minerals--destroying it for more wealth. Trump wants to give our public lands away, and you can bet they will line his pockets if he does that for them.

JB if you bother to click through to the original IG post it says he didn't make a big deal about it, the only reason it got publicity is because a flight attendant took this photo and posted it. Try celebrating a good deed simply as a good deed, not trying to find unnecessary criticisms.

Bailey Sellers was just 16 when her father passed away from pancreatic cancer-but he made sure she’d never feel alone on her birthday. Before he died, Michael Sellers arranged for flowers to be sent to his daughter every year until she turned 21. Each bouquet came with a handwritten note, filled with love, wisdom, and the kind of comfort only a parent can give. Bailey had no idea this was planned until her 17th birthday, when the first bouquet arrived —a surprise that would become a yearly reminder of her father’s lasting presence. On her 21st birthday, she received the final bouquet and one last letter. In it, her dad wrote, “This is my last love letter to you until we meet again.” The story touched millions around the world, not just for its heartbreak, but for the incredible thoughtfulness behind it. A reminder that love doesn’t end with goodbye-it lingers in the small, intentional acts that echo long after someone is gone.

Edith Macefield, circa 1950. In 2006, well into her 80s, she famously turned down a $1 million offer to sell her 100-year-old home to developers planning a major commercial project. When she refused, they had no choice but to build around it. Years later, Disney used her story to promote the movie *Up*, turning her into a symbol of quiet defiance and resilience.

This happened here in Seattle and when she died, it was sold to the company that owns the retail mall. The house is still there, boarded up and fenced off, but they haven’t done anything to it. I haven’t been by it in a couple of years, though, since I no longer live close by.

We had a woman who refused to sell her rickety old house to developers to build a grocery store and a few other small shops, so they built around her. She spent the rest of her life calling the police to make complaints about the noise and traffic. In this case, the woman became a symbol of poor decision making and lost opportunity.

In December 2014, Helen Johnson, a 47-year-old grandmother from Tarrant, Alabama, was caught attempting to steal five eggs from a Dollar General store to feed her hungry family. She had only $1.25, which was insufficient to purchase the eggs priced at $1.75 plus tax. Desperate, she took the eggs and was apprehended by store staff. Officer William Stacy responded to the call and, upon learning of her situation, chose not to arrest her. Instead, he purchased a dozen eggs for her and asked that she promise never to shoplift again. A passerby filmed the encounter, and the video went viral, leading to an outpouring of support for Johnson. Within days, donations of food, money, and clothing poured in from around the world. In response, the Tarrant Police Department delivered two truckloads of groceries to Johnson’s home, significantly improving her family’s situation.

It’s great that the cop bought her a dozen eggs and that she received two truckloads of groceries but this woman needed long term help, not just a band aid. How about helping her find a job? I know that this story is old but even 11 years later she’s still not too old to work.

When I was a teen, I worked at a Dunkin Donuts in Mesa, AZ. We had to throw everything out after a certain amount of time. One evening I saw an elderly homeless lady going through the trash to get the donuts. After that I didn't throw them out with the trash, we used a sanitized garbage can (store owner was a greedy bustard so we had to be covert) instead. I wish I had done more, but being a teen I didn't know what to do. I tried speaking with her but she acted like I didn't exist because of her mental state. I still think about her and the other homeless that relied on us. Still wish I'd done more.

When I was 16 I worked in a take out restaurant that served jacked potatoes. One day a homeless man walked up and ordered a jacked potato. He had the money to pay in his hand. The manager told him to scram, because he thought the homeless man would chase away other customers. I was horrified with his outburst and after my manager went inside I told the homeless man to meet me after closing hours. Every day this place would throw out what was left at the end of the day. So I offered to "take out the trash" and did my best to turn them into nice meals without my manager noticing. Then I would meet up with the homeless man around the corner and give him all that was left. He would then share the meal with other homeless people. I only worked there for one summer, hated that manager and never understood why someone could be so heartless...

In 2017, Emma Wren Gibson was born from an embryo that had been frozen for 24 years, since 1992. Her mother, Tina Gibson, was born just a year earlier, in 1991, making the embryo almost as old as Tina herself! Tina and her husband, Benjamin, adopted the embryo through the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) in Tennessee, an organization that helps facilitate the donation of unused embryos from in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Emma’s birth set a record as the longest-known frozen embryo to result in a healthy live birth.

Wow. That's actually a very ingenious idea rather than having to wait at a charging station. I always thought having electric cars is not a great idea. What if you are stuck in traffic. What if you have to travel a really long way. I'm guessing there are ways around this. I'm not in favour of electric cars because of the cost of replacing the batteries. Cost nearly as much as another car I would think.

For the first time in U.S. history, women over 40 are giving birth more frequently than teenagers. Since 1990, teen birth rates have declined by 73%, while births among women aged 40 and older have surged by 193%. In 2023, 4.1% of all births were to women over 40, slightly surpassing the 4.0% to teens

It was thought that having a baby that late in life was pretty dangerous because of the health risks and the risk of the baby being mentally challenged or frail. I think that's why women had their babies earlier in life. Now it's hard to have a baby earlier because of the everything costing so much.

he Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is an international, leaderless, movement that emerged in Britain in the 1970s. It operates without a formal leadership structure and engages in direct actions aimed at opposing animal cruelty. These actions include removing animals from laboratories and farms, damaging facilities, providing veterinary care, and establishing sanctuaries for the rescued animals. It’s currently active in over 40 countries. Activists associated with the ALF describe the movement as non-violent. According to the ALF’s guidelines, actions that promote animal liberation and take all reasonable precautions to avoid harm to both human and nonhuman life. Despite this, In 2005 the ALF was listed in a United States Department of Homeland Security planning document as a domestic terrorist threat, and in the United Kingdom, ALF activities are classified as examples of domestic extremism.

Maybe they get classed as terrorists because 'decent' humans use animals to test products that have no business being near any animal. I'd give money and resources to them rather than companies who still test on animals when there are volunteers and prisoners who could be tested on.
