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.

The pro-palestine protests have been a beacon of light for me lately (and China doing forest restoration). What is keeping your hope alive?

Remember this is bloomer thread so try to keep the dark irony to a minimum

Yeah this is such a good point and it feels like something very significant that the U.S. political establishment is totally in denial over, at least publicly.

Growing up through the Iraq war and the lies that the U.S. made into political “truths” in order to get the world on board, I would never have thought we would see so many deep cracks forming in the global hegemony of the Empire.

Echoing what shimmering Koi said, even a couple years ago before the war in Ukraine it was hard to believe that the U.S. would become so dottering and impotent as a world leader but here we are! Let’s go Brandon!
