Social media heroes part sixty: images, videos and stories of unity and fun

So many people want more followers on social media, more likes, more shares. And of course these things are great. But what if, instead, we focused on what our social media did for others?

We’ve found some of the best social media posts from the last week. These creators are sharing joy or meaning or information or pleasure with us and we love it.

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:
