bloomer
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.

Just thought of another one.
I overheard a conversation with my wife's mother and their family friends. They were talking about how much Trump sucks. But then it started getting a little too "everything the government does sucks" for my taste, but my Mil busted out this one. I don't remember exactly how it went but something along these lines.
Family Friend: "And I also heard in San Francisco they want to take the money from people who make a certain amount and give it to the homeless!"
MIL: "I mean, I'm okay with that one."
FF's Husband: "Maaaybbe... I mean, I guess it depends on how much they take and from who..."
MIL: "Right, but actually helping homeless people I don't mind. Hell I'd call myself a socialist."
And I was so surprised! Not sure she'd use our definition, but still amazing progress. This is a woman who had to learn about racial dynamics and stuff like that during the BLM protests. But now she's okay with calling herself a socialist!
