Doomscrolling is no fun. What’s a good replacement? Maybe click this random acts of kindness Wikipedia link and then play the Wiki rabbit hole game by clicking various positive links in that article to other positive tangents. There’s so many because humans are awesome (sometimes). Some of the obvious ones are the pay if forward concept and the Parable of the Good Samaritan . Did you know about the Naples tradition of Caffè sospeso where a benefactor of good financial fortune buys two coffees and leaves one for someone else in need? That’s neat.
