The wildfires, the drought, and the heatwaves are going on—so are the conflicts. Let’s focus on different subjects for today, shall we? After all, it’s My News:

The wildfires have now spread to Africa. These developments are terrifying, and knowing that so many still believe that climate change is just a hoax truly frightens me.

So much is happening in this world, and because so much is negative, I decided to declare Wednesdays from now on ‘Good News Days’. We need to hear about it.

It’s Monday, and I am grumpy. I didn’t sleep well, so it was nice to find some good news in all the chaos. Also—because it’s hard to stay neutral at this: Good job, UEFA! (Yes, I know. It’s biased, isn’t it?)
…

My news fatigue is fading away. Turns out, the world is quite entertaining, and there is good news as well, right beside real and often negative news. No drama – No judgement, just facts!

…
The world doesn’t stand still, not even for a minute. But not all is bad; there is lots of good news too. This is what I found and read today:

…
How easy life would be,
could be,
should be,
If I made in my life
what they make in a day?

…
It probably started
in a whisper, a murmur,
a low tone hardly caught by the papers,
a sticker, a poster,

…
To live in fear of my society,
not knowing who could harm me
of course, not intentionally,
but because of the recklessness
of politicians who make decisions
and let me pay the price.

…
I am proud of my friend. When I describe her to other people, I often use my hands and show about 3″ between my pointer finger and thumb. “She is that big,” and I laugh. I don’t mean it disrespectfully, quite the opposite. My friend is petite and about 12 inches shorter than me.
