I need a big print of this hanging by my pond. It is so calming.
Just a few more scrolls...
I see hamster, I upvote
But what if I miss something really horrible that will make me feel bad?!
Giving me some Redwall vibes
But I just woke up and this is literally the first meme I've seen today :(
Quit while you're ahead, maybe?
Thank you.

Now get the fuck out of my pantry or I will start using glue traps.
Thanks @DDC_DUMP
Man, my 80 year-old parents, whose only income comes from DoorDash had their car die this week, on top of their furnace and A/C going out.
And we live in the US, where no one gives a fuck about the elderly.
So, respectfully, I'm not feeling particularly optimistic. The thousands I'm going to have to spend to keep them alive is going to add years of work before I can retire, and that's just the reality of living in this shitty, goddamn capitalist hellhole.
At least like four people will get to be even more disgustingly rich, though. Yay. Vote Biden and Trump, friends.
I think the point is not "don't care about bad things happening in your life," it's, rather, "don't get so upset about the bad things happening everywhere else first thing in the morning."
And we live in the US, where no one gives a fuck about the elderly.
36 cents of every U.S. tax dollar goes to social security and medicare. The elderly being the primary beneficiaries of these social programs. That's before we start talking about senior discounts, rent controlled age restricted communities, and a long list of other state, county and city programs designed to benefit the elderly.
I'm sorry to hear about your parents struggling. But stating pure lies is unacceptable.

I can hear your empathy dripping off the screen. Thank you so much.
I accept that your parents are struggling, I accept that you are hurting because of this. I whole heartedly accept the reality you're living in and empathize and sympathize with it. If that's what you need right now focus on that.
I'm sorry to hear that
*deep breaths*
In case anyone wants more adorable hamster pictures, the hamster's name is Sukeroku by the artist Gotte.
I still upvoted but I feel like making this the top post misses the point.
I'm only five posts in and I'm already mentally tired
Might be my selection, but my scroll doesn't feel doomy...
Sometimes I've heard people complain about how their feeds are just doom & gloom, then you ask them what sort of stuff they follow and it's the doom & gloom sort of stuff
:/
Yeah I'm usually looking at memes lol
I got rid of all the doom in my scrolling. Nowadays I wholesome scroll ❤️ it's doubly beneficial: I neither have to scroll as long, nor do I feel a crushing hopelessness when I'm finished ❤️
So you see 4 posts and then dip out?
I literally just woke up. Get off my ass, gerbil.
But there's earl grey tea.
