bloomer
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:
-
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
-
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.

Solar panels are getting so cheap that even capitalist countries will switch to green energy, and I'm pretty sure the Chinese government is doing this on purpose, so it will only accelerate.
I had a frustrating conversation with my grandfather this week where he, a usually progressive guy, had a list of talking points about why green energy is bad that he picked up from the propane delivery guy ๐
What is even the point of bringing that up if you aren't generating more than you use during daylight hours in the first place? When most of the demand is, mind?
At least with him opinions are as easy to plant as they are to dislodge
When you're out of gas, propane generators don't generate any energy.
