Ah yes it’s true, as Jenelle Evans once eloquently stated, “Nothing else worse can happen, mom.” Which is, I guess, kind of a good way to go through the first Friday the 13th of 2017? Like, we survived 2016, which was the year we thought was gonna be fine but then we realized we were…

Awwwww you guuuyyys it’s my last weekly Good News roundup of 2016! You know, in years past, I would have felt a twinge of nostalgia saying “Last X of 20XX,” but I really don’t feel anything.

Well, hello again, friends. Every Friday, I try to highlight some of the things that have made me happy during the week.
