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.

Time for another bloomer thread in which we post about the good stuff. Be it something big, like a major breakthrough with your org, some good news you want to share, or even something small like "hey, look at this cute bug!". This is a thread where we take a short moment to spread some joy in some very dark times. So if you have something nice to share, share it!

I'm really glad I got it fixed cheap, I'm already like 35 bucks overdrawn and wasn't looking forward to plunging into the negative numbers quite so far. I get paid in two pays and I'm kinda hoping to coast by til then. This actually makes that a whole lot better, as now I'm not factoring in $30-40 in laundry plus the $35 overdraft fee. I'm also on "E" so it would also be whatever gas I need to get plus that overdraft fee. I drive a company truck for work and my kids ride a school bus to school so barring an emergency I don't need to drive until I get paid and there's food at home, so I might get lucky and stay in my banks $45 overdraft grace where they don't ding you for it. This really was fortuitous.

Don't worry about the mess up. I'm not worried. Thanks for the post!
