“The exhibit, which is situated on the fifth level of the AGO, brings you into the world of home videos and family photography. There is a pop-art theme to the place, with walls painted in fluorescent colours and comic-like drawings surrounding some of the art.”

New folks.
(this is just my opinion)

When you move to a foreign country, that has a different culture, different habits, you try to blend in. You might try on a different language. Or try new foods.

But what you don't do is assume that the natives will accept your culture, and habits, and embrace your lifestyle.

CoSo has a culture. We have been living here for 5 years.
Please understand, I mean no disrespect, but if you expect your bird site behavior to fly here, you will just be ignored.

If I hear one more person say, "Kids these days..." my head might explode.

People should be saying, "adults these days." Kids' behavior is a reflection of adults.

I have found it unbelievably difficult to access affirming care in Ontario for someone I love. This life saving care has taken every effort and resource I have to find, and we have much more than most. We gotta do better.

ProTip: When the site gets funky on you, doing a shift-refresh gets you back to "base state".

Holding the shift key and clicking on the Counter Social logo does it, too.

I would like to stumble upon a person handing out puppies from a cardboard box…just walk up empty handed and come home with a bundle of fur family

Fun fact: you can go to edit profile/filters to filter out posts with words, names and phrases you do not want to see. I'm attaching my filters as an example.

Don't ask about the asshat thing. I don't remember.
