And just like that, a little bit of my faith in humanity was restored.
Мир не без добрых людей… / Good people (by ArkadiYM93)
Had a little something in my eye by the end.
Somebody made this, and now I have something in both of my eyes.

This is absolutely fascinating.
Jo clearly has awesome friends.
Pardon the pun, but this makes me feel glad inside.

- It was a clear and smogless day
- Beepers were commercially sold
- Lakers beat the SuperSonics
- and Ice Cube had no events to attend to was…

“Quite often these days young people get a bad rap, but anyone who is uncertain of the power and heart of America’s teenagers should meet Jeremiah Anthony. After coming across a story about school bullies torturing their victims via social media, Anthony decided to retaliate by creating a twitter account for which the sole purpose was spreading positivity to his classmates. Using the twitter handle @westhighbros, this Iowa City teenager and his friends have now sent over 3,000 tweets to members of the West High School student body, teachers, faculty and staff. The young men dole out daily compliments to friends who appear to need a pick me up, classmates in whom they see positive, appreciated personality traits, athletes preparing for a big game or celebrating a victory, and faculty who have gone out of their way to support the student body. The average visitor to this twitter feed is also likely to come across a good ole’ inspirational message to start the day.“ - Katie Patton

My pal Clinton is opening a new German street food-style sausage joint called “Bestie” in Vancouver’s Chinatown, and he and his biz partner made this adorable video to raise crowdfunding money on IndieGogo. Not only did they achieve their fundraising goals in record time, but guess whose video was just ranked as one of the site’s top 12 pitch videos of 2012? It’s super cute… click and see why.

I just want to say that this is why minority representation in the media matters. Mae Jemison was inspired to become an astronaut after watching Nichelle Nichols as Uhura on Star Trek.

![Longtime pal Janis (musician, librarian and all-round super lady) sent a fan letter to Ursula LeGuin - and included return postage* - and this is what she got back.
That old SASE magic is still mad powerful, you guys. Never forget.
[UPDATE: Janis says there is a bit on LeGuin’s website that promises signed bookplates for a SASE, but I think we can agree my point still stands. Also, pretty dope penmanship for an 82 year old.]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbejl008RT1qz7au2o1_500.jpg)
