Come away from the noise and haste.

Be soothed.

Please use caution when bringing Twitter nonsense here: QTing stuff to dunk on it ended up being one of the most problematic, toxic elements there. It kept putting people in front of me I'd decided to ignore.

I'll beg if I have to: please, please, please stop fixating on what you want to oppose, and live into what you want to give your energy to, and what you want to celebrate.

I've found that being in a "for" community is much more productive than being in an "against" community.

@th3j35t3r so very grateful for everything you have done here for us. Sometimes I suspect you must be a superhuman
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😀

I am so happy that I can say, without abuse, that Black Lives Matter, Asian hate is stupid, our LGBTQ community is family, immigrants are the REASON the USA exists, masking and vaccines save lives, I hate guns, I wish every Repub loses their job, I want school debt forgiven, I support our teachers, I want abortion rights to get codified, and OH SO MUCH MORE! I feel so good that I’m not going to be absolutely abused by some right wing troll for saying this. I want LOVE TO WIN!!

Ok, thank you.

Hmm...why I can't upload a video??🤨

If you're coming from Twitter, like me, please don't expect Utopia here on CoSo. It won't be. It's its own ride. And the ride will be a lot more pleasant without unrealistically high expectations and the accompanying inevitable crushing disappointments.

However, we *can* each contribute to improving the ride for each other.

Welcome works best when it's reciprocal. 🙂

Hey all--repeating myself here but feeling it's worth a second look:

New CS Folks--

J has created a place where we can truly engage without fear of intrusive manipulation. He has worked hard to protect us so that we can do what we aspire to do--share ideas, laugh, debate, and learn from each other to build community rather than sow division.

Can you feel the difference already?

Ain't it AMAZING?? 😃
