Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

Thrifting haas been ruined?
People scalp thrift stores to resell on depop or other sites. Some thrift stores have even caught on and now have a ‘gold label’ section that prices higher quality goods at a premium.
I have mixed feelings on this, as more money to the charity that runs to shop is good, but it also means that if you are shopping at a thrift store because of dire financial needs, you are priced out of owning quality products, and are left to sift through the piles of poor-quality fast fashion pieces that are clogging the stores to find something worthwhile. It also means that the scalpers only have to check one rack for the quality items when they walk in.
Value village and savers don't even donate to charities anymore. 100 percent for profit company now.
Resellers make it harder
