@lisaannlm I felt the same way when I came to CoSo. Damn, is it a night and day difference from other SM platforms. We’re all just people here. (I mean… except @Alfred, but even he’s (it’s?) a delightful old weirdo too.) And “just people” is what SM should be about.

@Anouk @Museek FAFO. I hope he can never get his mail again without harassment so bad he has to move out of his mom and dad’s moldy basement.

@matthewchat frankly, the way the world is spinning no where is looking especially safe-havenly or affordable in terms of picking up one’s entire life and family and trying to book it before Inauguration Day.

@AskTheDevil thank you. 🙏🏻

@AskTheDevil shockingly, I just learned of all this today from that link another Cosonaut shared. I’ve downloaded calibre. When you send it back to your ereader do the books still look/function the same in your library? Also, if I opted for a kobo device, would I be able to load the ebooks I already have easily onto another device?

Anyone have experience using #Calibre with #Kindle to remove DRM? Just a thought 💭 considering one of the links someone shared earlier—cannot remember who shared it. But it was a video talking about ebooks and kindle and how they can change or remove content at will even after you have purchased it. #books #ebooks

@HopeSeeker oh she did. We both did. I think we needed it.

Today was the first day this week that I didn’t feel like I would throw up or pass out. So, I took my 7yo shopping for some new aquarium fish, a snowglobe that she wanted to buy with her own money, and Christmas gifts for hubby. Might as well enjoy the peace of that season for what little time we have left for relative peace.

Personally I am hoping for some kind of Christmas miracle. Like a well timed myocardial infarction, sink hole, meteor, lightning strike, a TIA, DVT, anything really.

@Bleez but hate speech doesn’t go against community standards there does it?

@breezyshade007 and welcome back.

@breezyshade007 visit @CoSoTips. It’s a great place to start/restart

@AI78 **Sorry-Not-Sorry about the lack of algorithm. Shaking that beast off starts out as disconcerting but comes to feel like “what was I even doing over there?!”

Shoutout to today’s real victor: the idiopathic stress hives that were apparently triggered by the viral load of the COVID I had in 2022 and are just waiting in the wings to remind me of that horrific time every time I am stressed about anything else. “Hey, I see you are stressed about the miscarriage, oh and the election too?— Hey, remember when you had Covid? That was fun, right? Let’s flay the skin from your shins to distract you from that.”
