Sometimes, all it takes to brighten up our day is a little message from a friend that shows they really know us. Perhaps it’s a meme about our favourite animal or a joke that they know we will find hilarious.
Here at Global Comment, we don’t know you as well as your best friend does. But we do know which social media posts to recommend each week. In our 32nd edition of Social Media Heroes, we only share the best.
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:

Today I had the honor to escorting my 104.5 year-old friend Ruth to vote.
She was born before women had the right to vote.

Her dad died of the flu during the pandemic of 1918, when she was 2.
