Good News: We bring it, we make it.
The Good Gnus group is a community of readers, writers, activists, supporters, community builders, and patriots. We begin gathering every day at 7 a.m. ET to celebrate national good news. Our most active members are of course a subgroup of members of Daily Kos, whose Front Pages celebrate “News, Community, Action.” However, you don’t have to be a member of Daily Kos to be a Newsie.
We are realists, not fools, idiots, or ostriches. We know we live in a world where active, nefarious, and evil decision-makers do very bad things and create stress and anxiety in us, our loved ones, our friends, our allies, and our neighbors, yet we choose to focus on the good news that people create around the country. Sometimes we ourselves create Good News. Together we are strong and resilient. We return to these pages day after day to revitalize.
Not too late to read GoodNewsRoundup’s diary from yesterday:
Yes, we know it’s confusing: GoodNewsRoundup started publishing the Good News Roundups in about May of 2017. She brought her concept of GNRUs from FaceBook, looking for more eyes. We are super glad she cast her gaze in the direction of our eyes at Daily Kos! She carried us for weeks or months 6 or 7 days a week at the beginning. Gradually, she gave up one day of the week at a time. We now have about 12 regular writers. [See below for our schedule.]
She also gave Screaming Carrot Demon McLiarface another name, Chlamidiot, and something else clever, but I can’t remember, it, so you get to play a game of Where’s W___o? What was the other epithet she called the Splatterer?
Update and Spoiler Alert for the epithet game: Agolf Twitler.
The abbreviations that please me are GNR for GoodNewsRoundup and GNRU for Good News Roundups. I rarely force people to do what I do, especially online.
