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.

Welcome to the first monthly bloomer megathread!

Once a month I'm going to pin one of these to give people a space to share the good things happening in their lives! It can be something big like international news that brightened your day, or something small like a cool bug you found.

Either way, if you need a place to escape the noise and boost your morale for a second, this is it!

This is a bit of a test to see if people really want a thread like this or if it kind of defeats the purpose of the comm. Feedback is welcome! If you want to be pinged when a new one of these drops, let me in the comments and if there's enough interest I'll make a ping list

The only rule is to keep the vibes chill!

Finished my first 4 audiobook recordings. I was feeling like it was maybe a wasted effort because they're royalty-share, meaning my chances of getting paid by this might literally be 0. I feel like I worked for free, and that was originally upsetting for me, but I took it for what it is. At the very least, it's something for a portfolio, and it gave me a lot of clarity of how to proceed. It also showed me that I can do "the job," which was a nerve-racking as hell concern for me initially.
I am looking to pursue more shortform voice content, and I think I can excel there. I can speak in many different voices, but among them, I can speak in this very deep, low-pitched "radio-tier" voice (as I'm told), and I really think I can make excellent use of it. I can perhaps pursue other opportunities. I am getting better at changing the tone as well as the gender of my voice at will.
A beautiful, wonderful, and amazing Afro-Brazilian empress in my life told me that my voice is very unique and can take me far. She said that she thinks I'm very charismatic and will have a smooth time presenting myself to people. She often calls me "meu anjinho" or "meu anjinha" (she interchanges them).
Making an aquafaba mayo-based bean salad on sourdough tonight, and I know that shit is gonna taste delicious.
My phone should be arriving soon! I'll be happy when it does. Until then, I'm without a phone, but at the very least, this phone will be loads better than my last one. The phone case already arrived today.
