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.

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 bought a house last week and moved in, and also made a really cool friend this month too. I am doing a hell of a lot better now than I have been for the last decade+ living at my parents house, depressed and lonely and friendless and with undiagnosed autism fucking with my head and making me miserable as hell. Hopefully I can make some more friends, my new friend is great but she lives 150 miles away and she's real busy with school so we can't really see each other much.

Also I'm learning how to cook, about to head to a discount store to pick up some cooking essentials like pots and pans and utensils.

Good luck on owning a house, hope it isn't too stressful, and i hope when the economy dies neither of us are rendered homeless <3 <3

Thanks! It was a little stressful at first because I was missing stuff (like lamps lol) but I've got all the essentials and I'm settled in now so it's going great.
