No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

This is Scott Ruskan, the US Coast Guard hero who saved 165 campers from the floods at Camp Mystic. He's 26 years old, and this was his first mission. (lemmy.world)

If a paramedic saves my life, I am very thankful to them. I don’t care that the only reason they were there is because they’re paid to be there, humanitarian work on all levels deserves acknowledgement.
