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.

Something cool I found out about this week: A group of fourteen Mexican women has completed a coastal ecosystem rehabilitation project that transformed barren wasteland into thriving mangrove forests over fifteen years.

I learned that my comrades respect me and have faith in me recently. Don't they know I'm an imposter?! (/s)

I feel pretty good lately. I had a fun night out with a commitment to go to an arcade and play time crisis some time. That'll be awesome. Haven't played that since I was a kid.

I've taken on many new responsibilities, and I'm excited to do my best.

Gopals on Swanston Street is great

I've improved my relationship with my family through silly little soviet pins I've been collecting, my mother used to collect them. The atmosphere in the house doesn't feel that tense as of late, which is nice.

I also get encouragement to go out there and participate which is a nice bonus too. Things are looking up

despite everything going on i made vegan peppernuts with the help of my partner for the holidays and we are so munching them

I found a job. It's not great but I have a passion for paying the rent and if I dont make enough income they could take wifu's "documents".

So i'm on "proper" holiday until the beginning of next year.

Almost done with moving! Huge relief, we are so spent. But it's almost done and only one of my plants looks like it might die.
