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.

Whats some cool animal stuff you've learned lately? I found out bats smash into each other constantly while swarming and got really into the weeds of the wolf/raven alliance, it is cool. Wombats are also now my most feared land animal.

When a corgi has long hair coming from its butt, those are colloquially called "wings"

So my baby girl has wings.

Lorikeets are the only nectar eating parrots. They have little nectar collecting brushes on their tongues

last one that really got me going was baleen but that was a awhile ago

long story short its keratin, not bone, so unrelated to teeths---baleen whales went teeth-->no teeth (suck feeder)-->mouth hair-->filter eaters. and this has to be said to be speculative technically since keratin-shit is hard to find in the fossil record, but i think it's theoretically pretty airtight
