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:

  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.

We were out at a renfaire this weekend, and they taped a perimeter around a tree because an opossum was sleeping in it. They didn't want anyone to disterb it. Had his little tail curled around the branch to stabilize and arms and legs just dangling down. They were adorable!

would have loved to see that haha, I’ve never seen a wild critter asleep in real life, I read that squirrels sleep for multiple short periods, like 30 mins per nap
