I do not have—and never will have—a #Threads account.

That place is straight up dangerous for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which being that it turns your device into a passive data monitor that siphons up everything about you and sells it to anyone.

Why did a viral video help me get a breakthrough in healing my brain disease? The answer may surprise you.

If you value #CounterSocial as much as I do, please support it financially if you’re in a position to do so. Also, whatever your situation, please take a moment to post a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating and a positive review on app stores and other platforms. Here’s one that I posted over a year ago. Light the path for others to find our remarkable village. #CoSo #CoSoLove

#Biden needs to tell the press he will not answer anymore questions regarding the debate and that he is not dropping out. It’s behind him and he is moving forward, period! #Democrats against #Biden need to let it go. #Biden2024

This is the third time in 20 days that the president of the United States has had to specifically denounce a public act of antisemitism.

The garden and our kids and grandson are such a source of joy for us, that I feel we need to immerse ourselves in that now, to compensate for the overwhelming sense of "wind out of our sails" we are experiencing. This is a dark day.

Times of heightened fear and uncertainty present unique coping challenges.

Many people, it seems, turn to statements of certainty and make predictions about the future. Maybe this brings them comfort or helps them to feel “ready” for potential terrible outcomes.

Please remember these statements are for them, not you.

YOU can decide how to think/feel/cope through in a way that works best for you.

Reacting to other people’s reactivity creates a distress loop. Notice and refrain.

#Quote

"The world is combinatorially weird and fractally interesting. And therefore, omnivorous curiosity is the only proper response. … let’s optimize instead for the interesting, the strange, and the weird. Ideas and topics that ignite our curiosity are worthy of our attention, because they might lead to advances and insights that we can’t anticipate."
