Some people talk about minimizing social media time and the associated doomscrolling, but every day Mastodon reminds me of how many kind, caring people there are. And how many I'm privileged to know on here. (And how many have adorable cats. Or dogs. Or goats.) People who appreciate the beauty around us; people who want to save the environment; people who want a good life for everyone.

It lifts me up, even when the news is horrific. Thank you all.

@jeridansky the whole minimizing thing has to only apply to mainstream social media. open social is safer than life.
