good people

There's been a lot of talk about toxic masculinity over the last few years. And while we are in no way arguing that it's not a real issue, we do believe in positive reinforcement. These heartwarming and totally wholesome moments are a glimpse at the amazing ways some men show up, show vulnerability, and make the world a better place. Bravo.

We spend a lot of time covering cringey people who make us believe there's very little hope for the human race, but every now and then we see people who make us believe the opposite. Redditor u/MrElonMusk420shared some photos yesterday of his beloved grandfather's leatherman tool with the intention of selling it to help pay for his sick mother's medical costs.

The community quickly decided they weren't going to let the big-hearted student sell the family heirloom, and instead started flooding his PayPal account with donations. He received so many kind gifts that eventually he removed his PayPal from the thread. It's wholesome moments like this that make us happy that the internet exists, and that there really are some solid people using it.

Whether you've had the week from hell, or the year from hell, these sweet memes are sure to remind you that not everything is bad. From sappy texts to cute animals, this batch of pics has got something for everyone. Especially the softies.
