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've been emotionally on a cloud for the past few days since having the insight that my local organizing group has a lot of young people (college age, 18-23) who are eager to get involved and have an unconventional approach to career development. By the time I buy a house (within the next year) or maybe sooner, I'll have started buying textbooks and other materials for them, and keeping a group study space and a workshop.
Imagine having all the materials you needed to study whatever you wanted, where having to pay rent was not an obstacle. I'm so close to making that happen for lots of my younger mind-kin.
