Where do we begin?
Let’s start with last night and work backward. At a packed theater in New York City, a raucous celebration shook the rafters to fête five years of Reasons to be Cheerful. For 90 surreal, peripatetic minutes, it was like watching our vibe pureed into a frothy, psilocybin-laced pineapple daiquiri. The performers were incredible. The crowd kept rising to their feet.
This is not where we thought things would end up. When we started this project in 2019, we imagined we might do it for a few years, run out of good news to report on, and close up shop. The opposite happened. The solutions kept emerging, and we kept writing about them. Now, nearly a thousand stories later, we’re looking toward the future with more optimism and hope than ever before.
Now on to the party pics…
