You can be mad, but you shouldn't be mean.

Not here, anyways. ✌️

On Tuesday, the caterpillar drank three cups of coffee, but he was still hungry!

Okay people - The PRO account subscription portal is now operational once again. Anyone who wants to support COSO and upgrade to a PRO account can do so anytime, on desktop browsers the link is in the right-side navigation. Thanks all.

Hey ! Still figuring out the hashtags here. I am an indie author who has written in a few different genres, but my stories all contain elements of suspense. Looking to find some other creative nauts!

Bell’s Codex is a suspense/thriller novel about solving a book that has been encrypted in a secret code.

my magnum opus is the ACTUAL code book from the story. The is real and the clues for solving it are in the novel.

Here is the first page of Bell’s Codex and a random page from my magnum opus. If you are interested in a unique interactive high octane thrill ride, check out my books!

At the grocery store, there was a young kid, maybe 4, wearing a Mario hat, yelling “It’s a me, Mario!” At everyone. No one was acknowledging him. When he did it to me, I said “Really? Hi Mario, I’ve always wanted to meet you!” And his face lit up.

For any of you who don’t have young kids, there is a book called “Llama Destroys the World” in which a cartoon llama unleashes a black hole which consumes the entire universe.

This has led my almost 3 year old into asking lots of big questions about real black holes. He is really trying to wrap his head around it. (Just like everyone is trying to wrap their heads around black holes, really).

Anyway, we were playing with chalk yesterday and I drew this for him.

I have been thinking about this community a lot since I joined a few days ago. To my fellow Twitter migrants, I think we need to remember that there was a community here before us with their own vibe, rules, attitudes and behaviors that existed before we joined. We can’t just show up and start acting like this is still Twitter. Read the room, things are different here. I think you will find that it is actually quite nice that it is a different place.

I am an artist, and part of social media for me is telling the world about my art. There are things that I have made that are for sale: prints, books and music. My sole purpose for being on is not to sell things though, this is a great community with positive interactions and it is a nice place to be. That being said, I spent many years in other places and had no luck getting my message out. And after one day on coso someone bought one of my books. This place is magic.

Happy Monday! 🎺🎺 Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Here is a watercolor I did of a can of Krylon!

@BipolarArtist I checked out your website and you have beautiful drawings.. The Willard Inn is beautiful!

Taking a little weekend break. Be well fellow nauts! 🎺🎺

@Faay @BipolarArtist

it takes some practice! there's a reason one of my pinned toots says coso encouraged me to be kind.

of all the impacts to have on a person... increased kindness is a pretty good one for social media. :)

@BipolarArtist I've kind of been mass blocking people who just came here to talk about the bird and such because I really wanted a fresh start here and don't need all that negativity flooding in. I get that everyone has their trauma ... a lot of us are here for the same reason. There's no need to bring all of it with you.

I am recognizing my tendency to want to say negative things about my previous social media experiences. I think part of moving on just needs to be just focusing on positivity and not looking back.

@BipolarArtist definitely should be, it looks frkn fantastic and such a great idea, the level of work involved is mindblowing! Suuuper impressed (and inspiring) 😍 ❤️
