Try some #HopeScrolling by catching the #CBC #radio / #podcast, What on Earth, a show focused on people pursuing climate solutions both large and small.
Always interesting, often surprising!

Baby sea lion video!
It looks like it's doing underwater rhythmic gymnastics with a ribbon

This clip is from the Masters Agility Championship (dog show) which I recorded back in February. I finally got around to posting this.
One dog, Gable, decided he needed to stop and check out the scenery right in the middle of the race.
Enjoy!
Considering every day's news, I find myself viewing photos and watching more videos of people's pets, here and elsewhere. Watching animated kids' movies sometimes gives me a lot of child-like pleasure as well.
How are you finding ways to renew your joy?
I am pretty knackered this weekend, so mostly gonna lurk on @joybooster and continue to build that up.
You can help by hitting me with yer fav cozy bots and silly accounts. And of course if you follow any other curators of joy toss that handle my way.
Danka!
Van Gogh's "Starry Night" and "Sefl Portrait" in marbling/dark water (sound very much on if you can)

Finally lured a cat up to cuddle for your #JoyScrolling pleasure (I.e. lay in bed quietly long enough). Anyway, sometimes Binghe holds hands with me, gripping my fingers firmly but without deploying his claws and hurting me. And that’s real love. #CatsOfMastodon
#JoyScrolling (because we ALL need a few moments of respite even when things aren't as they are currently)
Meet Tula, the baby elephant at the Oregon Zoo:
I just came across the site Reasons to be Cheerful. It seems like the perfect antidote to what ails our daily newsfeed…

#JoyScrolling: baby elephant born at the Oregon zoo.
Because everything is fucked up and shitty, we need #JoyScrolling more than ever.
Feeling scared about the state of the world, my kid and I are watching favorite videos. #JoyScrolling
It took less than 5 minutes after I laid down to rest after getting home for them to be snuggled right up. Might have taken even less time but I was eating a snack & they had to come beg food before they settled in to snuggle. (Of course I gave Yuan a bite because I’m not a monster. Binghe doesn’t actually much care for people food so I didn’t give him any, he was only begging because he wanted to be included). #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #Joy #JoyScrolling
