I've finished the cat sweater for the boy who recently got his first pet cat. Decided to make a small stuffy, and a zipper dangle to go with it.

Our #health starts with how we live our lives.

Out of respect for our beloved CoSo community, I haven't posted much about recent experiences on other platforms. However, many here are aware that we rural CoSonauts often have to deal with the challenge of access to realtime info relevant to our respective specific locales. Last week, that subject came up in a private local FB group in regard to the ongoing mass migration to #Bluesky. This was/is my take.

President-elect Trump won landslide support in much of farm country, but his embrace of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his plan for a tariff fight with China alarms many farmers and agriculture experts.

@Peacebird

That's a social media myth.

The event was in 2018.
It wasn't a wild bird. "Clark" is trained, and was part of a show during the singing of the National Anthem. The man it landed on wasn't the first he tried to land on, but was the first who showed himself to be prepared for the landing (by putting out his arm).

Also... (and key)... that man isn't a "Native American".
He's a Vietnamese refugee, named Tuyen Nguyen. He immigrated here in 1979.

@th3j35t3r but they gotta (checks notes) "cut education and veteran disability & retirement pension, Social security and a c a" , so that they can afford the new agency of dumb orange geriatric (and) Elon (aka D.O.G.E.)

This country is so fucking cooked, my friend. ...

.

What the fuck is a 'Principle Associate Vice Deputy Attorney General' and why is it another of Trump's personal lawyers?

So, we're just making up jobs and positions that don't exist for the boys now are we?

You know what would make a really excellent and 100% free birthday present for CounterSocial?

My #2025 predictions

Seems about right

I wonder where the "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" crowd is now. You know, the people who were calling #privacy advocates paranoid only some years ago and freely gave away their data to #surveillance programs.

If there had been fraud, Marc Elias would be out in front and fighting. Instead, we know that large portions of our population chose to ignore the threat to democracy and Trump's criminality, including those who will suffer most under this regime.

Robert Reich (former Secretary of Labor):
"In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.
Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.
A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.
Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers."

Not sure why everyone is flocking to BSky. This is the only place you can have a real conversation and not be sold out to Trumpistan for what you post. They are not thinking ahead.
