Something Lighter: Wombats

Amongst all we have to worry about, it should help to share some small things that are lights in the darkness, eh? I thus issue the first tagged smallthings

If you are not familiar with Mathew Inman’s comics as The Oatmeal, start now! Yes, they are copyrighted, but they are still sharable.

Check out “We have to Talk About Wombats” - and scroll for it all.

I won’t give any more away.

but if you come across something on the web that lifts, inspires you, toss a post here with a smallthings tag

Okay I can’t just leave this.

Long ago on a visit to Tasmania a friend took me to visit a place where people take care of baby wombats left as orphans (parents often are killed by cars). I actually got to try to hold “Poddy” I may have held for 30 seconds, they pack a lot of power!

Thank you! Light in darkness is definitely needed these days. And now I know about wombats :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:
