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.

The darkest times need some bright as fuck stars. I'm selfishly asking you to shine for me today.

Wish me luck but on Wednesday I have a job interview. I plan on doing a study of the company website, and this job can help get me relocated to a more progressive part of the country. I may not ever leave the great satan, but I want to find any pocket where the imperial boomerang strikes the softest. I might actually have some days as a normal 20-something and start living the life porky is trying to steal from me.

I might actually go on dates, have friends, and if I’m not feeling it, just enjoy my apartment and not have to be judged by anyone. I can be the gay nerd I was always meant to be now that I’m no longer under the rural Ohio hogs’ watchful eyes.

Of course, that is if the hr team isn’t too picky.
