itt: unrelated and pleasing news to help stave off gloom in 2020

my sister just posted photos of my niece (12) at the skateboard park wearing black lipstick bcz she is now a GOTH of course she is :)

so proud lol

30 years from now The Guardian will publish an article about her:

Your title also reminded me of this:

my wee daughter announced earlier today, apropos of nothing, ‘i’m a good girl not a bad girl!’ which inevitably made me think of mark s’ evergreen ‘good not bad’ system of evaluation and is probably proof that ilx is poisoning the mind not just of its posters but also their offspring

nevertheless she is surely correct, in her self-appraisal and also in how she chooses to declare it

so proud lol
