The next several years are going to be difficult, and I wanted a place to share positive things. Here, I will embrace the happy, joyful, and amazing things in the world. If I have to play The Glad Game for the next four years to get through them, then so be it! I am fully embracing my inner Pollyanna.

Today's second good thing: At least some insurance companies are doing the right thing. I'll be curious if other companies follow suit. They don't want to look like the douchey company in comparison to everybody else, after all...

Little things, big things, it's just the best. Seriously, we're the best city in the world and I love us so much!

Today's good thing: Let's hope this passes all the levels it needs to to become the law of the land in Washington state. This is good news for all people with periods here, but particularly for low income, and homeless people.

Today's good thing: While on the surface, it might not seem good, the opinions don't mesh with ours exactly, and we normally would write this off because they are "the enemy," but this is a good thing. We might not agree on how to combat climate change, but the fact that so many young conservatives are in agreement that it exists, and needs to be dealt with, is a huge stepping stone in the right direction. It's common ground. We can work with that, if we choose to.
