Given that social media is often a place for complaints and rants, whoever came up with the idea for Positive Twitter Day must have known they had a battle on their hands.
They’ve managed it with some aplomb though, and the trending hashtag is seeing a surge of causes for optimism – so here are some of the best.
1. A quiet place
For #PositiveTwitterDay, here is one of the loveliest #library reading rooms in London. Very quiet at this time of year and perfect for leafing through lesser-known academic journals and magazines. @SenateHouseLib pic.twitter.com/YtHNH6Ym3b

2. Food for thought
We have never had a more plentiful, safe & affordable food supply in the history of our species.
Thank you farmers, scientists & law makers! 😍🍓🥑🌽

5. A compliment goes a long way
Twitter’s been a great companion despite its flaws – so three cheers for #PositiveTwitterDay. My contribution: overcome my British reserve and hand out compliments.

6. We’re not all bad
Remember the world’s full of decent people doing the right thing, you just don’t hear much about them because the obnoxious ones shout louder #PositiveTwitterDay

7. How good are beds? Right?
If I burrito myself hard enough in my duvet maybe it will feel like someone else is hugging me.
Does that count as part of #PositiveTwitterDay …?
