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.

Welcome to the first monthly bloomer megathread!
Once a month I'm going to pin one of these to give people a space to share the good things happening in their lives! It can be something big like international news that brightened your day, or something small like a cool bug you found.
Either way, if you need a place to escape the noise and boost your morale for a second, this is it!
This is a bit of a test to see if people really want a thread like this or if it kind of defeats the purpose of the comm. Feedback is welcome! If you want to be pinged when a new one of these drops, let me in the comments and if there's enough interest I'll make a ping list
The only rule is to keep the vibes chill!

My partner was successful at getting into a six week paid on the job training, with a six month (minimum) contract presumed to follow. First day was today and it's 4x10h days, so she'll be pooped. I'm so happy for her and we're gunna celebrate on Thursday with a friend
You probably do this already but get a cup of tea (or other fave drink) for them to get home to. always lights up my partner's face when she sees I've got a brew for her even when it's been a busy day for us both.
