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.

Hello,

I've had a bad few weeks. Got kicked out of my apartment, can't find a job, consumed true crime content for some ungodly reason, and obviously the state of the world is depressing as hell. If you could help me find some optimism to get me through the unfortunate situation I've found myself in, I could really use it right now.

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.
