Someone had a good idea last week about making a kindness post.
Fundamentally, it is important to build communities and institutions through affirming actions and efforts. A forum devoted solely to bitching and complaining will never work, and could potentially toxify (though in our case I doubt it would be too bad because you all are capable of self-regulating).
That being said, I like the idea of making one post every week that is specifically devoted to, not simply good news, but good affirmations to each other.
Please post positive things in this particular thread. Also, feel free to ping other users with compliments, kindness, and affirmations.
Think of it as a morale building exercise!
I've been replaying older movies and games for a while now and it has drastically improved my morale. Not sure if you guys like Archer, but I've recently started watching it from episode 1 and I've been laughing my arse off. I'm also going thru House M.D. This type of shows I assume were considered progressive at the time but o boy are they anti-woke culture now. It is a good way to remember how drastically the culture shifted in a very short period of time.
I'm planning to watch Futurama next and Farscape.
It's important to focus on things that are genuinely entertaining and valuable as they can ground you, both interest and morally.
