PROTIP: Do not do this. Ever. Neither myself or https://counter.social had any prior knowledge of, or input into this product even though my name, logos and reputation were plastered all over it.

Our case worker told us today that we can begin discussing permanency (adoption) in 4 months. Previously she said 6, but based on all she's seen and how well the transition has been going she believes it could be sooner.

It’s inhumane how many times & for how long the good people of Georgia must spend voting. And god bless those in voting suppression areas that stand in line for hours to cast a vote. Once again the rest of the nation watches you to see if sanity will prevail.

Semi-related side note: Pretty much everyone should have 2-3 days of water stored per person with additional water for pets. Not a bad idea to also have Lifestraws and purification tablets with your emergency kit. You don't have to invest in specific use containers, any plastic food grade container will work (vinegar jugs are perfect). Solid article below on long term water storage.

Late last night (in my TZ) @th3j35t3r introduced an integrated light mode option for all CoSo users.

J did this while literally under attack from a big grifter personality on Tw.

J has also kept CoSo going when it was under attack from someone disrupting access to service when the recent wave came in.

He consistently protects & prioritizes us even when under extreme duress--while also maintaining his integrity.

That's who's at the helm-- there's nowhere I'd rather be.

Hey folks in #Georgia - you CAN vote today! #gapol #georgiapolitics

SEEING THE GOOD from Susan Estrich

But do you spend your days focusing on the good or on what annoys you?

Did you really have a whole bad day? Or did you have a bad five minutes that you allowed to contaminate the rest of your day by ruminating on whatever happened?

Feel all the feels and then move forward.

In relationships, at work or home, be aware of the assumptions you make inside your head. Social scientist Brene Brown calls this "the story we tell ourselves."

This is why #CoSoRocks

Good Morning! 🤗 💕 🤗 The weekend is here and Georgia has early voting for the December 6 runoff election. Have an awesome day my friends and if you live in Georgia today might be an opportune time to exercise your right to VOTE

@th3j35t3r Thank you good sir. This is a huge - huge thing! - You have no idea how many folks you're pleasing or you do but good on you man!

Yes! I totally agree with @Beyond_Blonde on this!

Learn a Native American Language!

There is a limited window of opportunity right now to save what's left to be saved.
You can help repair some of the damage by helping to keep a language alive.

This isn't just a clean dressing room, it's a clear demonstration of values. It's a statement about respect, gratitude and attention to detail. The small things are the biggest indicator of the big things - your values. Huge respect for the Japanese national team and their wonderful culture, values and people.

Who said #SmoulderingMS was not modifiable This study shows that chronic MS lesion activity in pwSPMS is strongly associated with disability and is impacted by natalizumab therapy. I can't tell you how important this study is for the field. Please read => https://buff.ly/3xVrazg

(on a personal note this is the drug I have once per month in London)

@jcscher Oh my God. I am so desperately sorry to read this. Thank you for letting us know, and I can't begin to imagine how you feel but I'm stunned. I'm sure many of us will feel the same. Jim was such an integral part of CoSo and a wonderful person.

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 #RIP

@th3j35t3r Happy Thanksgiving to you J ! 🦃

One of the Hellmouth's greatest tricks was teaching people that engaging with negativity with even more negativity was actually somehow a righteous and winnable fight. It encouraged pile-ons, seetheposting, saltiness and schadenfreude by dangling likes and followers in front of you as a reward for essentially putting more negativity into the world instead of choosing the higher path. Don't repeat those mistakes here. Negativity is never the way forward. You have choices ... make wise ones.

The sole reason that neo-nazis exist is to kill Jews and other minorities and to make excuses to inspire others to kill Jews and other minorities.

The only reason that neo-nazis are interested in "free speech" is to end the speech of all others.

There is no lack of other social media sites where that sort of hate is allowed, and even condoned.

CoSo isn't one of those sites and it never will be.
