It's an exciting time for Skipper and Ping, two male Emperor penguins who live at the Berlin zoo. They have been longing for an egg of their own and now, they finally have one. This is by no means the only gay penguin - or animal - couple in the world, but that doesn't make their story any less special. Here it is. 

Oh yes, those were the days when anyone could go and sit in a café, people watch, maybe tweet out a romantic thread like this one here, or even take a dabble in the art of romance themselves. This throwback Twitter thread takes a look at a couple café coworkers confessing their true feelings for one another. Pretty sweet and wholesome stuff. 

All of this cuteness is too much. The internet was shook with feels when Redditor General-ColinBile posted these post-its "visited my younger cousin and noticed how his girlfriend shows love". To give context he wrote -- "They were posted on his bathroom mirror. I took them down for better picture taking... Amazingly even at his age, he's mature enough to see she's someone special." Someone special indeed.

The world, especially this year, is an absolute garbage fire of failure and pain. Between the election and the pandemic, we're barely surviving this hell. To make it all a bit more palatable, or at least to distract you, we've put together this healthy gallery of pleasant memes and tweets. We may not be able to pull a coronavirus vaccine out of our sleeves, but at least we can smile a bit while we wait.
