Hi everyone -

Back during the early days of the pandemic, we launched a column called "Moments of Joy" because, well... we all needed joy, right?

Taking a quick scan of the news in recent months, we felt like we needed to bring some of that joy back. We're It Gets Better, after all!

So we're kicking things off with a collection of things that made us smile with pride this week. Check out this week's top five, including our new lesbian crush (who happens to have set a world record [[link removed]] at the Olympics) [[link removed]] and a pair of former Supermarket Sweep contestants [[link removed]] who have a really sweet "It Gets Better" story! Read more Moments of Joy below along with some fun stories and updates for you!
