Global Comment, as its name suggests, goes out around the world. We have writers from numerous different countries, whose perspectives we love to share. But from my vantage point here in the UK, it’s been a pretty disastrous week.
So, in a bid to cheer myself up, I enjoyed finding the social media posts to share today.
As we’re talking about social media, I want to encourage you to follow us on all the platforms you use. You’ll see the best from Global Comment in your feeds. Find us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
Now, here are our favourite picks from everywhere else this week:

I’ve posted this before, but here’s a nightingale, arguably the most beautiful birdsong of all. It can cause dopamine/elation fireworks in the brain & dial stress hormone right down. Everyone needs that just now.

Trying to find a positive idea: the government nominates a week-long Bank Holiday to make up for this bleak winter. We have carols, mince pies and Die Hard among the daffodils.
