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.
Happy Halloween! Got any nice news to share or just something to lighten the mood? Share it here!
We had a lovely Halloween, we took the smaller kids trick or treating in a part of town where people really put stone effort into it. Our oldest kid went to a party with her girlfriend, they had a nice time and by all accounts.
To make things even better, we were dog sitting and the dog, who is usually afraid of men, seems to like me.
Halloween seems to me like one of those things that showed how, if left to their own devices, people instinctively get the value of community. There's nothing in liberal economics that explains what makes people spend a small fortune and significant time and effort to turn their garden into a spooky ghost house for local kids.
