Today's the fourth anniversary of the death of actor Chadwick Boseman. He died of colon cancer on August 28, 2020; this was less than 3 months after I'd been operated on for the same disease (and survived); so I feel some strange sort of link.

If you're 45 or older, you really should get a colonoscopy. About 1 in 25 people get colon cancer, and a larger number (up to 2 in 5) get growths that can potentially turn cancerous. In their pre-cancerous form they're easily removed.

We're at the end of the month already, and the meter is sitting at 46.50% -

If you can, please consider making a donation to at least get us to 50%, meeting J halfway? Thank you, awesome people! 🙏

My favorite art, if I have a true favorite, might be graffiti.

I think in some ways, it is the most honest, direct, candid form of art.

Y'all.

This place might be the only sane social media site on the internet.

Someone's got to pay. Go pro. Drop a one-time donation. I know I don't have a ton of followers but it is what it is. I want to hang here for a while please.

I work in tech. Servers, network (that's really where they fuck you), storage, compute... it adds up.

@th3j35t3r keeps the lights on. We can help. No algorithm shoving content down your throat. No targeted ads. Just whatever you want it to be.

CounterSocial is a few short months away from being SEVEN YEARS OLD. (We can't believe it either.)

It hasn't "broken even" once in that entire time. That means that over 80 of the months that CounterSocial has existed, its founder has had to pay the difference between subscriptions, donations, and whatever was owed to keep the servers online.

We mention this for one reason.

In order for CounterSocial to thrive, it needs a lot more people just like you.

Tell your friends. #CoSoTips
