A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

I had my second pottery class and definitely made some improvements!

The first class I wasnt really getting centering and coning but I watched some videos and it made a huge difference. I still struggled with pulling walls but it went better than last time and this week im gonna watch more videos which will hopefully help.

There was also a new person who was really nice and a fellow masker of color and im hoping to get to know them better blob-no-thoughts

I also bought some weaving supplies to make more complex patterns that will hopefully make everything easier

Pottery is so cool, you should post something if you're proud enough of it. I love seeing other people post their art on the internet, very cool

Fuck yeah I found them

These were my first (and last) clay sculptures that I made. I don't think they are very good but I like my wanderers journal and there is some pride in having made it myself. The coloring on the first one didn't turn out how I want at all but I also had no idea what I was doing lol. Anyway, just thought I'd share :D
