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.
Weeeellll, I pretty much just listed my fave pods that aren't CTH which I don't even particularly listen to much lately.
Red Line and The Deprogram are your best bets for these subjects.
The Red Line is rarely entertainment content, but if you wanna learn some shit, it's great.
Not c/bloomer content
Not sure if you stopped listening before they released it, but TrueAnon's investigation into Synanon, addiction treatment industry history and "troubled teen" camps is really some of their best work since Epstein didn't kill himself and Maxwell got locked up. ( "The Game" - youtube playlist link )Not really on-topic for the bloomer community, I'm getting a little teary remembering listening to it because it's both a deep investigation into the history and exploitation of addiction treatment and a personal journey for Brace, diving into an abusive "troubled teen" type facility he was sent to himself as a kid. So yeah it's dark as fuck and he recounts a lot of personal trauma, but ultimately seems cathartic for Brace.
I did listen to that one, yeah. I think it's their best series ever, or rather their most engaging series. Hard to use the word "best" to describe that kind of horrible experience.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Ah, there you are, finally. Interesting that you don't seem to know about channel links.
