THE FRINGE IS CALLED THE FRINGE FOR A REASON...

#cosoconfessions

As dark as I feel under Trump, each day I am uplifted by your responses to the cruelty and banality of this administration.

But we are an internet force, and we need to figure out how to become a physical in the real world force promoting civil disobedience while building a groundswell of support to save this democratic republic...

Maybe not a full 2 cents worth, but I needed to say it

#cosoconfessions

The hardest part, no really...the hardest part about being a COSONAUT is

Picking a cool seasonal name

Elf names on deck

#cosoconfessions

Some question what makes this place COSO different?

To me, it's two things...One is you live here without threat, the other is because you live here without threat, you don't perceive feedback as threatening or demeaning or an attack

You look at what others are saying and you seek to understand

That is all COSO ever asks...

#cosoconfessions

I would not be as globally awoke to the myriad issues we face as a planet if it weren't for the kind and thoughtful probing of COSONAUTS working to keep this planet sustainable...

Thank you

What I like about COSO...

That's what I like about you, the way you hold me tight

Tell me I'm the only one, wanna come over tonight, yeah

You're whispering in my ear

Tell me all the things that I wanna hear, 'cause that's true

That's what I like about you

Actually, that was the Romantics and what they like about COSO...

What I like is...

You can be Heady
You can be Silly
You can be Warm
You can be Teasingly Seductive
You can be Respectful

YOU JUST CAN'T BE MEAN...

#cosoconfessions

Sometimes when you least expect it, you look at the COSO Community Firehose column and see it not moving as toots are posted, and then you think, damn, that's weird and some eerie shite this early in the morning...

And then you realize you've moved that bar thingie in that slide column to the right of our COSO columns so you aren't getting any updates, and you go...

Whoa, that was a close one...

#cosoconfessions

10 years from now, Americans will still be measured by their degrees of Separation from Trump from 2016 to 2019...

#cosoconfessions

We all have writers we like, writers we respect, writers we don't like or respect and points in between, that doesn't mean we shouldn't share those viewpoints...

COSO has thinkers and doers and shakers and movers, you can handle it.

#cosoconfessions

I would read more of these climate change scientific reports if they weren't so damn depressing and I didn't live in a flood zone...and I actually did something about it other than reading more depressing climate change scientific reports.

#cosoconfessions

TOOT

(This counts as a toot like all the way freakin more substantive stuff most of you put on here, but if you're counting toots, this one counts...IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER)

#cosoconfessions

If I've ever said or done anything inappropriate on COSO, would you let me know what it was so I can package that shite and sell it...

#cosoconfessions

We never know each other's demons unless we take the risk of sharing them with others...

#cosoconfessions

I'm tracking now at 17,517 toots (this being 17,518)

What I said in toot #12,684, I didn't mean it...

Well, not all of it anyway😎

#cosoconfessions

I don't know about you, but I, in the back of my recesses, count the smiles I get from reading toots in the morning...

J's joy

#cosoconfessions

I don't interact with a lot of Nauts on here, but I gotta tell ya, those I do, I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to seeing their names pop up on My friends screen...

Thanks J for giving us a Home Away from Stress and Impunity

#cosoconfessions

One of the super, super, super nice things about counter.social is we are family...When one of us suffers, we support; when one of us experiences joy, we reinforce; and when one of us just needs a swift kick upside their head to snap them out of weird shit, we smack it.

Where else can you find that?

#cosoconfessions

Father forgive me...I do have to acknowledge that when I read an article from Helaine Olen, I often choose to segment the toots

Cause then I can wrote HO( )

Somehow, that HO just resonates with me...

Okay, okay, okay, I started with asking for forgiveness

#cosoconfessions

I can get on here in the morning and invariably I laugh...

That is enough...

That says it all...
