I find myself seeking out non-doomer people to read, since the doom and gloom doesn't really help, it's just demotivating. "Look for the helpers" and all that.

This outlet has some good things from time to time, like https://www.liberalcurrents.com/we-are-going-to-win/

That said, yeah this is really bad.

Who are your favorite non-doomer folks to read?

I thought this post was a good one on why doomerism is just a waste of time - featuring Ken Jennings of Jeopardy fame:

Some accounts at random that tend towards "this all sucks really bad - however!"

It's a particular and kind of peculiar attitude, because objectively "things ain't great" and it's really easy to dwell on that. But we also need some hope.

Not sure about that article. In the short term maybe you might get through this round, but the long term really doesn’t look good. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/how-stop-m...

I’m applying to jobs in Europe.
