Serenity Now

Cleanse your feed with some good news today

Welcome to the week.

Given the level of election-related stress this week, and over the past few weeks, and probably in the weeks to come, we’re feeling a bit like this:

So we decided to give everyone a break and focus on good news only today (all of which is the result of people taking action, every day to make the world better!)

Here’s a little positive corner of the internet you can hold close for today, and then maybe just go ahead and switch off your computer for a little bit.

This week:

  • ⚡️Money for electrification

  • ❤️‍🩹Hope for health equity

  • 🌊Water security and river restoration

  • Math stars

  • And more

See you on the other side,

New Shit Giver Bob is here because “I'm interested in how people make decisions and political depolarization. Maybe this newsletter will help me understand people, and what people consider to be important and what they use when making decisions.“
