Happy Birthday CoSo 💗🥳💗

My favorite thing about CoSo…
As I read through my friends column or the Firehose I see many questions being posed… what’s this, how do I, anyone know?
And I always click on the post to try and help and…. The CoSo community has already answered.
Every Single time 🥰🤗🥰

I love our CoSo Family for their caring, humor, curiosity, support, meme bombs and pun & pizza wars.

Love you All 🥰
And a special big hug for @th3j35t3r 🤗

The editor-in-chief of Scientific American has resigned after posting a series of profane screeds on her personal social media account on election night as results came in. She was, of course, 100% correct in her somewhat profane assessment. It saddens me to see her go.

“BREAKING: NY Judge is not ruling out 4 years Jail for Trump.

Since it is a state case, Trump does not have the power to pardon himself..”

I am thrilled to announce my son will be marrying his them. 💙

Our trans has been rejected by their family but will be embraced by ours.
They transitioned a few years after starting dating. I am so happy they both have made it through such a huge migration.

Love abides

And thank you CoSonauts and @th3j35t3r for being a place I have no concerns about posting. Saved it for your anniversary because it is such a testament to this amazing oasis.

If we fund #CoSo 100% this month I will be unreasonably elated.

Different countries are neat...

This, too.

#MelonHusk's sense of free speech is as pale as his stupid face.

The incredible contents of #CoSoCooks would get us banned.

Yet another +1 in CounterSocial's favor.

On #RIPTwitter, posting pictures of food is not allowed, but cosplaying white supremacy is both promoted and encouraged. 🤪

Happy Anniversary, CoSo!!

Who would've ever thought we'd still be here and going strong after 7 years!!

Congratulations and thank you to all of you who make this place the singularly spectacular community that it is. CoSo is a force for good and it wouldn't be possible without the guidance, care, nurturing, balance, always positive energy, incredible vision and work of @th3j35t3r, a true force for the good.

Thank you, J! You're an inspiration and a true friend. 🎶🪐🌺

Yaaay it's my birthday.

How Native Americans guarded their societies against tyranny.

Encouraging engaged democracy

The people who had overthrown or fled the great cities and their too powerful leaders sought to avoid mesmerizing leaders who made tempting promises in difficult times. So they designed complex political structures to discourage centralization, hierarchy and inequality and encourage shared decision-making.

7 years ago I was following this interesting fella on Twitter. He kept posting counter.social .. and nothing else. Well curiosity got the better of me and I slid in the side door as #48. I have not left since. Within a year, I became PRO and will continue to do so.
I can't begin to tell you the many times I've rec'd help on many aspects of my life in here. The friends I have made and continue to make.
@th3j35t3r : Congratulations. Know you are loved. 💜

Happy Anniversary, CoSo
