Well it's been a violent couple of weeks. Hard to witness, even a small part of it.
This might help.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
by Clare Uchima & Hinako Omori
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu is a Sanskrit mantra which means:
“May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.”

Hey #CoSo we're in the end days of October and the little line tells me that we're less than half funded.
So I'll do this again.
#CoSo is free, but nothing is free really. Someone has to pay for compute, storage, network, etc... that these cloud systems rely on. Unfortunately that's @th3j35t3r.
Your data is not being monetized and you're not being force-fed content/ads that you don't want but have been profiled for.
If you can, join #CoSoPro. This place is crazy but has a lot of value.

One of my kiddo's best friends has had a sudden, devastating loss.
I have been offering guidance to my child tonight to help them be present and effective for their friend.
We never know when we will be called to comfort someone who is suffering acutely.
Selflessness and purity of heart seem to be key.
I don't know, but to me the try really matters.
Please keep trying and go gently along the way.

@InvaderGzim Hallo there, Dear Neighbor! Happy Tuesday 🌻☕️. Checking in on you as my time on CoSo was different lately, and didn’t see you in awhile. Hope all is well on your side of the hill.
@Minholkin Oh gosh yes. I have one that I will regret for all of my life. I have forgiven myself, but I learned painfully not to leave anyone on a bad note. Even when we disagree. 💙 I was only 17, but still. It was a hard lesson.

Want to send some extra love out to the LGBTQ+ community as today is National Coming Out Day.
For anyone who has made this step, I hope you have received the love and affirmation that you deserve.
If you are thinking about it, I hope you have someone to receive this with care and love you.
In general, please remember that *any* day someone trusts you enough to come out is precious and a gift.
There are an abundance of ally resources available online. Check them out.
@nursefrombirth 💜💜 thank you
