It’s Been a Dark Week — So We’re Sharing What Brought Us Joy

from The Doomscroll Diaries · host Laura Sogar and Mae Planert

It’s been a dark week, on the internet and around the world,  so we went looking for the things that actually brought us joy online.We talk viral dances that briefly cured our doomscrolling, a man fighting off a coyote to save his chihuahua, deeply unhinged wedding traditions, British “Chinese food” discourse, why smart fridges might be a mistake, and the comfort of small, absurd internet moments when everything else feels heavy.We can’t fix it. So here’s some  laughter, distractions, and a little joy where we could find it.Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@laurasogar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mae_planert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow the pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@doomscrolldiariespod
