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!
Had a wee surgery thing done this week and it went very well, is healing very well and fixed what it was supposed to fix. I was treated very well and it was 100% a positive experience, something I am definitely not used to. The prodecure itself was also very cool and interesting in a sciency sort of way.
Also I got two days of paid sick leave because of it and spent them walking outside and baking. Had the best time in the very misty, dark and rainy (spooky looking) park, it has been totally deserted the last few days because of the rain. Enjoyed my new gore-tex sneakers so much, this is a luxury I've never before been able to afford. Walking in the rain with dry warm feet, absolutely glorious.
Still enjoying the hour longer sleeps as well, I am far less tired and irritated now that it's winter time.
Edit. Oh and we got several visits by very cute little trick or treat monsters this year (although Halloween still isn't much of a thing here). Thankfully I had a bag of candy around that I had forgotten about.
