MUST WATCH: John Kennedy Issues Blunt Warning To Schumer, Democrats Over Mayorkas Impeachment
Good morning, CoSo!
It's not your responsibility to live up to an 'identity,' whether it's one that you've chosen or one that's been foisted on you.
Real personal, individual identity is so much more complex than any set of pigeonholes, no matter how large, can possibly capture. Don't always be trying to modify and limit who you are in order to fit into somebody's boxes. Maybe you're this or that, but maybe you're not and you sloppily slosh back and forth between categories. That's all good.
This article had some surprises for me!

Good people of CoSo?
This is just a loving reminder that your brains have not evolved to cope with the stimuli of online environments.
It does you no good to be immersed in images of destruction or harm, particularly if you are not in a position to help.
Stay informed, but take breaks. Look at the sky. Attend to local concerns where you CAN make a difference.
It doesn’t help the world or you if you are chronically destabilized by online content.
🙏💙

We've lost a hero. Thomas Stafford, veteran of four space missions, including the moon landing dress rehearsal Apollo 10 mission, passed away today after a long illness. He was 93..
Here, he's shaking hands with cosmonaut Alexey Leonov, after Stafford's Apollo rendezvoused with a Soyuz spacecraft in 1975.

'Will you see Comet Pons-Brooks during the eclipse?' -- This comet visits the inner solar system every 71 years (!!), & will be closest to us on April 21st. During the Eclipse on April 8th, it may be close enough to see between the eclipsed Sun & Jupiter.For a preview of the comet, visit this site for gorgeous photos now:
