I recently started following you. You’ve made me laugh and cry all in the span of a few paragraphs. Today I subscribed and plan to share. Keep doing what you’re doing. And thank you. You’re leaving the light on for us.
This is a beautiful argument for counter-doomscrolling: not denying the chaos, but collecting evidence that compassion and courage are still happening every day
Thank you for the much needed reminder that everyday there are uncelebrated folks who quietly move on and who we don’t see doing good. Gratitude gets lost in the chaos.
The despair I've been suffering due to the bombing of the girls' school and the rest of Tehran is slightly lifted by your wonderful words. Thank you. A candle lit as they say and I needed it.
Thank you, Shanley. I needed that. Like a full on panic attack needs a slap across the cheek to remind me to lighten up. I think we all do because we need to stick together and the good will always trump the hate.

We needed that, Shanley. Thank you.
More proof of goodness. I apparently convinced autocorrect to spell your name correctly this week.
More of this please...

This is the most beautiful thing I've read all week. Thank you.
Thank you, Shanley. Needed this today. Reminds me of that line in Jurassic Park, "Life finds a way." I'm happy it does.
Thank you for this article!

Hope is hanging by a thread. Maybe those kind of stories add an extra strand to whatever is holding us up. Thanks
