family

This year (more than ever) it feels like we're struggling to find a smidgen of good news in a fiery garbage pit of tragedy. Every once in a while we get lucky, and today is one of those days. Over a year ago, Tumblr user gallusrostromegalus shared an incredibly wholesome (and incomplete) list of animals their grandfather brought home to their grandma during their 67 year marriage. The list is comprehensive, funny, and reminds us that kindness does exist in the world. 

It's also not the first time that gallustromegalus has gone viral for animal-related content. The hilarious antics of their parents dog, Arwen, caught the attention of many media outlets such as Buzzfeed. They're currently working on a book of family lore, but if you enjoyed this thread (and maybe the one about Arwen), consider donating to their Patreon. You'll receive more heartwarming content, and will be supporting a disabled writer who depends on their creativity to pay the bills.  

Very little inspires pangs of nostalgia like talk of long, boring, french fry punctuated car trips with your disgruntled family. Reddit user Raheemthegreat decided to liven up his own tedious journey by starting 'Ask Me Anything' in the name of his very annoyed mother. The questions range from fascinating to the stuff that would make any parent consider putting their child up for adoption - and makes us very happy to be past the age of forced road trips.

Well, hopefully your kids will appreciate all that you do for them when they're older? Yeah, let's go with that. In the mean time, please enjoy these parenting tweets, because we appreciate you. And while you're at it, have some parenting memes!

These gift card scammers just won't quit, so much so that it's honestly an art form at this point. Of course, the recipient of the scam in this case is much more skilled at this whole trolling thing than we'll ever be, so we have to salute his hilarious and valiant efforts for that!

Everywhere you look right now there's talk of what people are calling "unprecedented times." Between the war against Covid-19 and the fight against racism, humanity is faced with some serious and sobering challenges. But during difficult times it's important to take care of yourself and step away from the constant flood of pretty horrifying news. We're here to help you do that in the nicest way we know how: with a whole lot of happy memes, comics, and messages that may succeed in bringing a smile to your face.

Twitter might seem like a scary place these days. But amidst all the bad news, the Karens, and the political diatribes, there's a lot of humor to be found. From relatable everyday observations to the absurdist comic Twitter gems, there's much to be enjoyed if you know where to look. We've done all that searching for you, and are happy to bestow this hefty gallery of amusing tweets to our dear readers. Happy scrolling!

Twitter is a lot of things: a hub for political rants and raves, a sounding board for comedians, and a great way to keep up with current events and gossip. And as Twitter user @sixthformpoet displays in this classic thread, it's also a fabulous medium for storytellers who deserve their voices to be heard. This three part tale has it all: sadness, serendipitous romance, humor, and even some serious life lessons. And we're willing to bet you'll want more when you reach the end.

There's no getting around it: the world is going through it. From protests around the USA to the coronavirus pandemic, things are looking and feeling bleak as hell. While these memes and posts won't solve any of the problems plaguing the globe, they do have the potential to improve your mood and remind you that there is still some good in the world. And that counts for something.

Anyone with siblings will understand the strange love-hate dynamic involved. On one hand, you want to kill your sibling when they borrow your clothes or eat your food. But on the other hand, you'd take a bullet for them.
