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.

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.

Haha yeah
I'm over a week smoke free and still sane, so let me share that bit of positive good news with you. And I hope things get better for you comrade.
Congrats! First week is the hardest part!

Hell yeah comrade. I relapsed on nicotine last Saturday, and I’m once again 3 days clean (the hardest milestone, something about third day just really sucks).
Stay strong and don’t slip, it’s easier to quit everytime you try but that doesn’t make it enjoyable.
Thanks, the gum has been helping, I'm going to follow the 12 weeks plan
Good luck! I’ve always sworn by cold Turkey, but if you have the willpower to regulate intake that’s worked very well for people I know. I just couldn't regulate.
(We don’t have a Liz truss emote, I tried to make a Liz truss joke and realized it wouldn’t be funny without a picture)
yoo killin it
Great job! I watched my sister try to quit smoking so I know how tough it can be. Congratulations on a week and I hope to hear about another milestone next week.
ty!

Thank you, Michael Parenti always knows exactly what to say
I just noticed your name is zeldAlinK backwards. Here is a comfy bug:
Lol yep! I'm a big fan of the Legend of Zelda games
My cat stood up like a groundhog to eat a dorito
Lol cats are so goofy sometimes
i filled out all my intake forms for therapy today! i had been putting that off for weeks.
Very nice! Taking the first step to receiving mental health can be so hard, I'm proud of you for taking that step!
thanks, i am too!
The humane society is sending somebody to trap and fix the cat colony near my work! I haven’t heard back if I’ll be allowed to give the unsellable cat food to them, but they already donate the near expired stuff so I don’t see why they’d say no (they only need the barcode off the bag for insurance purposes anyways)
So some unhomed kitties are going to have their lives improved.
Edit: forgot to add context, the humane society just spays or neuters them and re-releases them after checking for infectious diseases and stuff. So don’t worry, it’s actually just good news for the cats.
Edit 2: removed reference to felinicide
the humane society just slays or neuters them
J/k I knew what you meant, that's wonderful to hear!
Oh no, what a terrible typo lol.
For now here is a heavily cropped image of a very pretty kitty that doesn’t know he’s getting a diet upgrade soon
Those are very nice videos, thank you so much!
Stray cat update: he meowed very politely and didn’t run away when I shared some food. He didn’t eat it until later, but started washing.
I’ll update with a picture of the shelter they built for him later.
