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.
Well, well, well! Are you ready for some BLOOMERISM?! No? I DON'T CARE! IT'S TIME FOR THE WEEKLY BLOOMER THREAD! Please pay no attention to the fact that I forgot to post one of these threads last week.
Ahaha, silly lil' me 
Here, have an apology weevil:
Please feed her acorns and give her smooches.
Anyway, you know the drill! Something good happen this week? Made some progress in your org? Hear some uplifting news? See a cool bug? Share it here! This is where we BLOOM!
a few things on my end:
-got hyperfixation-level back into tabletop worldbuilding and feel like i'm mostly sorting out some of the main pain points of my setting! (namely, how to fit humanoid fantasy races in a way that doesn't feel cringe) i may be at the beginning of a hyperfixate-overcommit-burnout process, but i'm enjoying the hyperfixation portion while it lasts. and thanks to my organizing friends and my gf i might actually be getting a game group together for the first time since last decade!
-speaking of which, having a community of comrades/friends and the work we do together helps to keep me grounded and connected to humanity. and while we're still figuring out what exactly a safe and stable relationship looks like to us, ditto for having a loving partner and the kindness and gentleness and acceptance we work to extend to each other.
-the sheer numbers at the Minneapolis quasi-general strike put a little hope in me. while the demonic hogs in ICE killing our people makes my blood boil and makes me weep, a showcase of the potential of people power & labor power like that makes me hope it's only the beginning of a new fighting labor movement.
