Good things happening in the world right now (that you can take part in from your lounge room!)

Today is #InDay, a day the LinkedIn gifts us once per month to invest back in ourselves and others. The theme this month is Giving - #GivingInDay is all about giving back to the wider world, our community, and ourselves. Normally we'd be out and about but today, for the first time in LinkedIn history, we're having a virtual InDay.

So, in the spirit of our virtual Giving InDay (and because I know I've seen enough bad news to last a lifetime in the last week), I've collated a list of good things that are happening right now that you can take advantage of from the comfort of your home:

Lion

Melbourne Zoo are live streaming their animals.

If you're like me and don't have a furry friend at home, this may be the solution for you. Watch the penguin, giraffe, snow leopard and lion cams 24/7.

A bookstore

Aussie bookshops are offering free delivery.

No leaving the house? No worries! Support small businesses and get some books delivered to your door.

DJs in a nightclub

There is a virtual nightclub you can join from your bedroom.

If you're missing the rhythm of the night never fear! There are local DJs running different sets over the evening for you to throw down some shapes.

10 comedians will have their specials released on Amazon.

Feeling down about the Melb Comedy Festival being cancelled? Me too. Luckily, Amazon will be releasing new 10 stand-up specials in April.
