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.

I got a few coworkers that I've become friends with. Most are libertarian-flavored but some lean socialist libertarian. I'm working on one of them but he's a bit hella ADHD so it's been a trip. I also did a standard issue wall of text with another trying to help him navigate the negative propaganda around socialism. He's a real "French Revolution" kind of dude so there is something there, I think. I got another coworker that posts some socialist leaning stuff and even interacts with my socialist posting on Facebook. I pegged him as libertarian but I think he's a closet socialist. Another coworker is my guitarist for my band project and he's said a few things that lead me to believe he's radicalizing.
It's funny because even though I've taken a step down from organizing, It feels like I'm still in the trenches.
