Good evening, gang!
I have once again compiled a thread of little bits from 2022 that I found funny, heartwarming, inspiring or just plain silly. It can be tough out there so sit back, relax and hopefully something in this thread might make you smile!
Let’s go! 💕

1. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Misha and his mother Liana had to flee their home in Mariupol. To keep Misha motivated, Liana told him they were on their way to find John Cena. A few months later, Misha met John Cena ❤️
2. When Amber Barrett scored a miracle goal, sending the Republic of Ireland to its first ever Women’s World Cup. Afterwards, the Donegal native dedicated her goal to the “ten beautiful souls” who lost their lives in Creeslough just a few days before.
3. “Wagwan Boris!”
When this chap’s apartment was raided by the police… and Boris was inexplicably there??? 😭

9. Lad on a scrambler crashes through a woman’s front door and what ensues is 90 seconds of pure physical comedy. When he accidentally toots the horn, I die.
