Reading the magazine Positive News is reassuring: that the world isn’t entirely falling apart, that people aren’t demons in disguise running amok, that humanity isn’t doomed to endlessly flail (all thoughts that may have crossed our minds in the past curiosity of a year). Here are stories of the things people are doing for other people, for our planet, for our community, to truly make our world a better place for all of us. In a recent issue, we find solace in how a better normal might come out of COVID-19, how humans are essentially co-operative and there’s hope that we might find our way again, that the Black Lives Matter movement is positively starting to reshape our institutions. This is one to seek out when you need to know that there are other stories out there than the ones you are hearing daily on the other kind of news.
