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.

linky

likely pisraeli source underneath, so can't check it for veracity

(remember, even your potato might be settler-tato) (also one might place stickers with entity flag if one finds some produce of inappropriate origins in the store, as the flag is inoffensive by itself, it's unlikely to be interpretable as a political act of any kind, but might help inattentive comrades)

No Thanks! app (link to Google Play Store)

Just scan the barcode before you put it in your shopping cart.

Now that works a treat. Getting to the bottom of which multinational owns cleaning products, cat treats etc is such a bastard, and that thing just tells you. Nice one.

Yeah really puts some "voting with your wallet"-power in consumer hands and does so very conveniently. Wish I knew of more stuff like this. Imagine crowdsourced boycotts on whatever nefarious company's products or run-amok regimes exports.

Boycat is a similar app that allows you to choose what boycott campaigns you want to follow.

run-amok regimes exports

Americans in shambles because they can't buy anything inside their run-amok country.

Fun fact I learned recently while chatting with a friend about the rabbit hole of parent companies is that most pet food brands in Amerikkka are owned by the Mars candy company.
