@corlin is creating a new @COSOGroups PUBLIC channel called 'COSO WRITING CONTEST/FUNDRAISER'. CounterSocial Groups can be accessed via groups.counter.social

Them: "These tablets have cameras on them. The cybersecurity guys aren't going to like that. We're gonna need some stickers."

Me: "Have we considered googly eyes?"

I see a lot of people joining and asking about following other , something people have been doing on Twitter, but not so much of a thing here.

I've created a CoSoGroup called which is open to all:

groups.counter.social/channel/

One hitch: CoSoGroups is a Pro function. So you do have to commit to support Counter.social to join any groups. (It should limit problems in the open group, though.)

I am frustrated how, if someone in a position of power or authority does something not right to you,

the first question is "why didn't you speak up as it happened?"

Like it is easy to overcome the barriers of power and privilege, and as if it is not risky to do so.

I don't use Tiktok, but I get the impression different users can layer tracks together to create ensembles (e.g, the Wellerman sea shanty tiktoks).

Is that something there are free apps to do? Is it something that CoSo could do?

And just to get the ball rolling for finding something to respect about voters in Red States, these are the course requirements at Texas A&M ("A" as in agriculture) for a bachelor's in Agricultural Economics, Rural Entrepreneurship Option. Yes, farmers have to be educated to be competitive in the 21st century:

It's an unfortunate fact that people spreading lies can do so effectively by speaking in generalities but people promoting the truth can only be effective by addressing specific lies. But we need to argue against ideas, not human beings.

We can't control the fact that Trump supporters have contempt for liberals. But we can try not to make things worse by demonstrating contempt for them, even if we need to point out that *particular positions* they are supporting are contempt-worthy.

Words like "redneck," "flyover state" and even "racist" give them permission to close their minds to anything else they hear.

One of the things that are dividing people in the US and many other countries is that the different political adherents do not respect one another as people. At all. It is the "contempt" that kills relationships on a small scale, but boosted up on steroids, since most of us have stopped even talking to one another since Trump and QAnon began destroying family holiday meals.

I've been championing everyone trying to add the simple tag to any art related post from any genre. Maybe we can make that tag a universal one to bring the whole of the Arts Community together to support each other, regardless of what genre we create in or even just lovers of art. We can help everyone get more networked and supported.

Why does Occupy Democrats think that "currency exchange yellow" type will make their posts more compelling.

Do they realize how much a person's life sucks when they actually have to worry about finding where the currency exchange is located? Not the best memories of my life, for sure.

Also, if you post a lot of art/photos where the visual is the whole post, consider that we have at least one blind user who may chose to filter posts with a tag rather than mute you altogether.

Tags with no recent posts. You might also want to include one of the ones above to be found:
