For me it's:

Finally updating my citizenship status so I could get proof of citizenship against ICE (not that it does much) and open a savings account and start building credit.

Started volunteering.

Took a pottery class that led to me being obsessed with pottery and im going to take another class next semester.

Big or small, please share good things about your year!

I changed jobs finally, cutting off the umbilical cord from my last job so that I can more completely integrate into the country without worrying about being asked to move back. And I'm doing pretty well in language courses and might be able to apply for citizenship eventually if I can pass the language test.

Also, I completed a freestyle swimming course in the first half of the year! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

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.
