An Ongoing Daily List of Good Shit Because I'm Tired of All The Corona Talk:
Australia is no longer on fire
U-Haul is offering free 30 day storage for displaced college students and discounted rates on moving services
The second person in the world was just cured of HIV!
There's going to be a new Dr. Seuss book this fall, published from a manuscript he wrote that was discovered 21 years after his death
Student loan payments are being halted with no interest until the pandemic clears
A zoo in Indiana recently announced the birth of two Chacoan Peccaries, an animal that is currently endangered (and also adorable)
On that train, two cheetah cubs were recently born in an Ohio zoo via vitro fertilization, which could seriously boost efforts to help endangered species survive
One more about animals - a komodo dragon in a Tennessee zoo just gave birth without male involvement! Which isn't something new, but it is rare and cool.
The state of Virginia has banned conversion therapy for minors recently, and is the first Southern state to do so
Scotland has created the worlds first Carbon Positive Gin made from peas instead of wheat, which reduces the carbon footprint created by normal gin making. Without wheat....it might also be a gluten free alternative (not certain on that one, you'd have to reach out to the creators). You can buy it here
The worlds first 3D printed houses were just created in Mexico, with the hopes to combat homelessness. They are designed to withstand seismic activity and come with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
Disneyland is donating all acceptable food to food banks in Orange County during their closure
The Olympic Games are hoping to become "climate positive" by the year 2030, and by next year they plan to start planting an "Olympic Forest" in Africa in an effort to combat desertification
Hopefully I can add more day to day, but even the small stuff makes you smile sometimes. Yesterday at my coffee shop, a woman tipped me five dollars because, and I quote, "Just because there's a virus doesn't mean I can't tip you for my coffee."
The small shit matters as much as the big shit. Good luck, try to look at the good and also try and DO some good, and wash your hands.
