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.

2023 was a hard year. I went through more jobs than I've worked my whole life, I prolly did more drugs last year than I ever have before, I honestly wasn't a good friend to people I care about. I think I'm doing better now, hopefully this job sticks, I have to work in a kitchen by myself, but I kinda like that cuz I get to just focus on my specific space, and make pizza most of the time.

BUT the thing that got me through it all was my friends and coworkers. Really, all the workers. I've met a lot of people, and it always brings me to tears how much shit people deal with and they STILL find ways to give. Two of my new coworkers are twins who don't really have a family. Today I met a woman who became their mom, cuz they dont really have one. I have a friend, I've known since we were kids, who was struggling with depression while starting her transition. This year tho it wasnt me helping her, she helped out, with money, with talking about feelings, all while working like 60 hours a week in a place she cant really be herself.

Idk, its been a lot to take in. The capos are gonna call us every name in the book, but at the end of the day our culture will be one of love and generosity. The People are what really keeps me going, I love all you heart-sickle

Solidarity comrade. We all only have each other, so we need to remember to be kind to one another. Reality will always be challenging, and our best hope for survival is the working class striving together for a better future. Cherish them.
