In this dark time, politic-wise, I find relief in reading positive news. The NYT has a series of green reportages covering most of the US called 50 States, 50 Fixes (so far, they still have 15 States to go). https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/20…ates-fixes.html
Daily dose of happiness

Thanks for this positive thread, serafina . I hadn’t seen this series in the NYT.
As to your question, I haven’t had a daily dose of happiness on the internet in a very long time. For me, the internet has become the place I go for news sources that I trust (a very small number these days). I no longer read news with a light heart, but know that I have to stay informed. I don’t do social media or doomscrolling; I just read and answer email and texts, read the news, and get away from the computer as soon as I can.

I've also been enjoying this. Often reading a story not realizing it is in the series until the end. I cannot think of any other regular positive internet reads, though I am confident I do find occasionally. I'll post the next one.

For several years, I followed the Neatorama blog. It is recollect NEAT, weird and interesting news from around the globe, that span from history, tech, sociology, geography to everyday people's life. It provided a lot of fun facts for conversation!
