good job Brazil! I don’t know what that is but I’m assuming it’s for the preservation of the Amazon forest. When I’m old anough I’m gonna be an Amazon Rainforest explorer even though it’s extremely dangerous

I first started to illustrate good news at the beginning of 2021, when I saw an article that highlighted 10 positive things that happened in 2020. This caught my eye as 2020 was so difficult for everybody that it felt like nothing good happened in the world, so the article really made me smile. I wanted to share this with my own followers, and as I’m an artist, I thought I should illustrate the headlines to share them with my own creative flair! The post got a great reaction, and since then, my ‘Good News This Week’ posts have become a regular, much-loved series.

The reason this series is so important is that people don’t tend to naturally come across these positive stories as we do with negative news. And so when I come to making a Good News This Week post, I have to search the internet to find them. Thankfully, there are a handful of websites dedicated to sharing good news, and the Good News Movement is generating popularity for this hopeful and inspiring form of news.

This sounds like it could and should be good news, but more context is needed

I particularly enjoy highlighting stories about animals, nature, and the environment. Eco-anxiety can often leave these areas feeling overwhelmingly hopeless, so learning, for example, that an animal has come back from the brink of extinction is wonderful. 

This series has been ongoing for 2 years, and I have no plans to stop. It brings so much joy and hope to all who see it, and hope can inspire change. When we see that positive change is happening, we become optimistic that it’s not too late, we find motivation, and we want to be part of it.

I try to see the positives in everything, but I find it disgusting that they kept the poor creature captive for 50 years!

Yay, animal testing is cruel and we need to find a better way to see if things are bad

According to the Virginia Aquarium: "Zebra sharks are a docile and slow-moving species, not dangerous to humans, and can be easily approached underwater."

sorry to be that person but if this was not necessary, that would be a good news story.

Other good news, I recently moved to Germany! The ticket is only for regional trains, not for high-speed lines, but if you take your time that is not really a problem.

Dunno if this is actually good news. Women being equal breadwinners just means they have to work just as much as their husband to be able to keep afloat. It means they have less time for their children and for themselves. Not saying the household or upbringing shouldn't be shared equally, what I'm saying is that it's become a necessity and not a choice...
