You don’t have to speak up, but you’re welcome to.

We love to meet new people.

And we’re nice 😁.

Well, sometimes

Is my husband a narcissist, or is this fixable? Feminist Advice Friday

In a patriarchy, abuse is the normal state. And a patriarchal society lets men get away with it.
Patriarchy tells women to just keep trying.
It tells us we have to endure a certain amount of abuse before we can leave.
It tells us to go to couples therapy.
It tells us that if we communicate better, nag less, become less deserving of abuse, things will change.
And then things don’t change.

When I started yoga, I thought of it as a physical challenge.

As I progressed, I began to see it as much of the mind as the body.

Now I think of it as almost entirely mind, the body just an outward expression of it.

I wonder what comes next.

Good morning, CoSo!

Happy Labor Day.

But remember that Labor Day isn't just a day off, or a day to grill, or the last day you can wear white.

It's a celebration of the right of workers to organize on their own behalf and demand an improvement in their way of life. It's about not accepting things as they are and letting you and your brothers and sisters get trampled on by the mighty, no matter how rich they are. It's about remembering that there is strength in numbers when there is solidarity.

I'm tired of trees, grass, & everything that you must do to maintain a yard. I wanna go live near the Atlantic Ocean, where my ❤️ is, where I grew up breathing scents of the sea.

It may not be the same now; I haven't been near a beach in years. I know I'm going to go, just no plans on when/how.

I feel the hot sun behind my closed eyelids & sand underfoot & I feel the waves crashing over me...

Oh wait! I dozed off sitting in the sun; that's the dirt w/no grass underfoot & the waterhose on🤣

Happy Labor Day Folks! Forgot it was a holiday, woke up & had no clue what day of the week it is, only now starting my 2nd cup of ☕ (I must have 2😁), sitting on porch listening to a neighbor yelling at wife, watching a local crackhead drive up/down the street🎶 loud, tooting horn at anyone he sees, reading news someone robbed/stabbed late night somewhere in my small section of block same night someone else shot gun that morn 3🏘️ away; now another neighbor yelling on📱

Neighbors off today: UGH!

It wouldn't be Labor Day without the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Jerry Lewis: Always Rememebred.

Had fun/was worn out playing w/Grandkids at B'day party. Got home late last night. Actually was w/5, not 4; only counted those that were gleefully screaming & running around celebrating 😜The baby, now going on 5mo, was happy to just grab my phone's earplugs that were tied around my neck and try to choke me with them, as he simultaneously grabbed my reading glasses, threw them on the floor while laughing &:babbling because he saw his Grandma!🤷‍♀️🤣I slept most of today; up too early this a.m.

Breathe in savoring O², then out, slowly; imagine exhaling all things angering ya, things ya wanna stop feeling, things ya imagine won't change. While doing it, imagine someone worse off, w/more problems, w/less than ya, w/more tears. How would ya encourage them?

People do that on COSO; encourage others. At least, most days, most do. We're here to talk stuff out, share stuff, & spread voluntary sunshine.

If ya need more, PLEASE also see a professional; it's💯ok to do so🌹

^^^ 2 of 2 - I can't make it 'safe' with respect to the sensibilities and expectations of everyone who proudly states 'mental illness' (or other special or protected status) in their bio, especially while they proceed to 'thought police' the rest of the community here.

You're on social media, and just like the real world, none of them are your paid therapists.

Everyone gets an equal chance to *not* be an asshole here. Please don't squander it. 🙏

I'm NOT trying to alienate anyone here.

1 of 2 - I have something to say, and I know it's likely to piss some folks off. But I feel I gotta say it.

Some folks seem to think that counter.social is a 'safe space' - and it is - from a TECHNICAL standpoint. Safe from bots, hackers, mis and disinformation, web archivers and scrapers, foreign influence operations and other nefarious cyber shenanigans.

However, and this is where it's gonna get gnarly....

Happy ! Up since 4:30 👂 to scanner, and, sipping coffee, while listening to drunk neighbors up the street who've been partying all dern night b....

Pardon. Had to stop mid-post; as I walked onto porch, ☕ in hand, heard a gunshot, a man yelling "Put the gun down!" and a woman laughing hysterically.

Sitting in house listening instead. Seems to be the wisest option 😜 No cops'll come; too busy at the ⛽ station further up the street that's being robbed🤦‍♀️


Howdy Folks! Hoping all is well.

Currently in a room full of young kids going every which way; 4 of my Grands at once😜

Oldest Grandson just turned 7! Check you all later! Whew;

Howdy Folks!❤️ Just on here bring nosey a little while. Been cutting tree limbs down; ugh hard work that leaves me in excruciating pain, but resting now.

Hubs still recovering from hernia mesh surgery, so he still can't do too much of anything before he has to sit; Dr visit in a few weeks.

Just a lil bit windy day here; majority of storm way east of us. Praying everyone who was/is in path are ok?! 🤞🙏

Anywho, enough yakkin; gotta get my 🕵️‍♀️on😜😁
