Send us stuff!
Got something that makes YOUR day better? Send us your stuff!
Just a few general guidelines to keep in mind:
- All submissions are subject to the Terms and Conditions listed below, so be sure to read them before sending us your stuff.
- Keep it brief, so we can include as many submissions as possible. If you’ve found a longer work you think is a great day-improver (an article, book, website, etc.) be sure to describe it and provide a link.
- About links: Make sure they don’t lead anywhere creepy or virusy…that would NOT be in the spirit of making days better.
- Be creative! Sometimes the tiniest things can make a day better (like 10 extra minutes of sleep, or finding a $5 bill in the laundry). Those are pretty universal, so we’d probably post them. Or a day-improver can be something huge like a step towards a cure for something terrible. Snow in the South can make a day better. Or a video. Or a cartoon. Or something you overheard on the subway. Or getting a job. Or figuring out how to program your DVR. You get the idea…sky’s the limit. If more than a few people would understand it, we’ll post it. If we don’t already have a category for it, we’ll make one.
- Be patient. It takes a while to sort through submissions; we promise we’ll look at yours.
- Don’t get your feelings hurt if we don’t post your submission. We’re trying to focus on those with the most universal day-improving appeal, which we know is totally subjective, but we have to start somewhere. We also try to stay away from things that you wouldn’t want your kids or grandmother to see. Which brings us to…
- No naked pictures, please. Not that they can’t make a day better, but please keep those to yourself. Seriously.
- Be nice. It might make your day better if your boss was nipped to death by piranhas or the mean girl at school showed up with a botched dye job, but remember those things probably made somebody else’s day A LOT worse.
- We don’t necessarily steer clear of politics and religion, so feel free to make those submissions. If we post them, we’ll just add that disclaimer you see about how they don’t necessarily reflect the views of our sponsors, etc. etc. (even if they do).
- Remember the thing about the Terms and Conditions? Very important, so here they are:
