But where is the brass section?

That is what I read as well. @silent_dystopia @FernLovebond

Anyone else tired yet of seeing so many complaints about how a black woman who plays basketball is somehow less worthy than a white man when it comes to being released in a prisoner exchange?

And yet the arguments are still coming that Griner is somehow not as worthy as Paul Whelan. IMO - we try to get any prisoners home as we can regardless the "tests" of who is deemed more worthy.

But as an aside.. Col. Morris Davis (US Air Force, Ret) shares this:

All I am going to say about the exchange for Brittney Griner is this:

Most of the problems in this world occur because of the faulty view that some people are more worthy than others.

Check yourself.

@jeffm23 It’s a content warning located at the bottom of your text box. When applied, it blocks the picture or text from viewers unless they manually click on it.

IMO spiders and private parts full nudity belong behind a CW. A brief description might be helpful for others. Or you can create a CoSo group and invite people to join you.

I post #CoSoEyeCandy every once in a while with a CW and never have I had a single person complain. I don’t think it is any different if I were to post pictures of myself or other widely distributed pictures of others.

No, this isn’t only fans, but that also doesn’t mean you can’t express yourself within the TOS.

Thoughts and prayers are meaningless unless you back them up with legislation that actually helps people, rather than perpetuates the hatred of people.

Apply as needed.

I have two friends who have been ill with some RSV. One lives in Cali and has had a persistent cough and fatigue for over three weeks. Another friend near DC has visited the ER three times since Thanksgiving. Both are fully vaxxed and tested negative for Covid.

Please… keep wearing your masks! Especially as colder weather approaches. By keeping your nose warm, you’ll prevent your nasal immunity from dropping. That’s your first line of defense!

Eeeps!

@th3j35t3r I cringe at the “Tell us about yourself” part of the application. You just know they are using that to determine who is “worthy” of getting an invitation. Sounds like a clique mentality and who wants to start off with a feeling of inferiority?

<cackling>

Ain’t that just the way..

@Anarchaeologist This smack down was even better..

@JournoActivist Sure, who cares about the military personnel as individuals when they can just be considered a fighting unit to be used and discarded after their usefulness is over. 🙄

Santa.. the early years.

@KallieMarie I wish I could give you words of wisdom.. but what works for me is to play a favorite album and immerse myself in the sounds. Either I sing, start to dance, or fall asleep in a nap.. all of which I find healing.

Just know you are not alone even as you feel lonely in these moments.
