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:
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
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.
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!
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.
Think I might make these bloomer posts a weekly thing again. Do you guys think that's a good idea or would that be annoying? I just think it's a nice thing to have a place where people can share good vibes, considering how there is quite a lot of terrible shit going on at the moment I think people should have a place to get a break from that.
I love being able to recognize that so much of my relentless doomerism and misanthropy quelled once I got a whiff of understanding material conditions
I still relapse when I have to deal with reactionary bs and the general state of the world, but understanding why things happen and what actions need to be taken to solve them really helps to remove the general aimless despair I was drowning in in the past
I find it both quells and makes it worse for me, depending.
