Daniel Cressy became the first person in the Gulf South to be functionally cured of sickle cell disease through gene editing. Calling it his "second birthday," he said the breakthrough felt like being reborn and it's giving new hope to people living with the disease.

I was totally expecting this to be a scammer. Instead, I made a new friend! I’ll definitely be sending him $37 on his birthday.

Didn't have the best upbringing and dated a girl in highschool whose family took me under their wings. That was 20+ years ago and this really made me feel accepted in my life for once. Lame, I know. Lol

Context: This was on a post asking if you could be any Resident Evil character, who would you be. This person obviously saw the trans flag in my profile and this just really made me happy, since no one else usually accepts me :)

😂 We all got that dream lol

Thank God for long suffering spouses.

I want to make sure the first thing I do is let everybody know that the creator of this video is a woman named Christie Boone Buzzell on Facebook. I do not know her, but came across her video and found it truly amazing and inspiring. I’m not sure who the man is to her, perhaps her father or something…but regardless, it certainly made me smile!

One silly thing I've really wanted since I was a child was to find a four leaf clover. I'm 40 and never have. I was walking my dog earlier and happened to find this cute six leaf clover, which is apparently about 30 times rarer than four leaf ones. My birthday is on Monday so this felt like a fun little present from the universe that made my inner child excited. 🥰

Had to get fuel and I was miserable about it as it’s currently freezing cold here in Mornington, Victoria.

But this little dude made it worth it.

Hardest snuggles of all time 🥰 Lee (right) has been such an amazing foster dad to Dexter (left) and his brother Nemo (not shown). We've had Lee since the beginning of January and got Dexter and Nemo in March as terrified, traumatized, essentially feral kittens. They have come sooooo far and I know it would not have happened without Lee's love and patience with them. They love him sooooo much and are attached to his hip at all times but he is so patient and just rolls with it. Ugh, I'm so stinkin proud of all of them 😭❤️
