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.
These are chaotic times where anything can happen. There are more people questioning what the entire US project stands for than there ever has been before in my entire life. Now more than ever, it is important to have hope. You matter, the things you do matter. I have faith in you. If you are able to organize, now would be a great time (it's always a great time, but now especially)
Improving our conditions and caring for each other is built into human DNA. It is inevitable.
We need to hope the US does not go "cancel elections" mode. I know most here are ambivalent about bad stuff happening to the empire on a good day, but this level of bad thing would actaully be bad for the world at large. The US needs to lib out and circle the drain as it declines, not start a world war.
And to take a hit off the Bloom OG we are passing around, I hope that after Palestine, Venezuela, and Iran, the appetite for any sort of military incursion is repulsive among the USian electorate, although they can't be fully trusted with that.
