I miss websites being simple to navigate.
Comcast could give a master class on what not to do. Good lord.

The folks in Houston, Tx have to boil water after pump-driven water system pressure dropped due to an electrical outage. Maybe they can use "Elect Abbott" signs as kindling.
@th3j35t3r Thank you - it's perfect!

Good morning, CoSo!
And welcome back to a place that's more like hanging out with your normal neighbors... and less like a deranged science experiment to test how horrible you can become when subjected to overstimulation, perverse incentives, high-pressure ad campaigns, and fear of losing attachments to things you never really needed.
@corlin perfect timing for a rainy Sunday!
Remind me every year to go to the Philly Christmas Market on Black Friday. It was wonderful - not crowded, can get to the booths, easy to walk around. I forget from time to time and my claustrophobia goes into high gear.
@Mr5PeeL Sometimes it takes a moment longer to load if there is high traffic. It keeps getting better over time.

@HopeNotWorry -perfect! Thanks so much. Just saved it on twitter as my banner.
@HopeNotWorry would love it! thanks
@Stevelevine @ItsjustJules Same here. I drop in to see what is happening but refuse to respond in any way. I will deactivate once I can get that same sense of context in another easy format. There are still trusted sources that have not migrated here that I want to follow.

I am so scared for our 🌈 friends and family, including my son. The GOPs hateful and continued rhetoric, caused this latest mass shooting. When will be enough dead? I am a heartbroken American and mom😭
@SeekWhatsRight we are here! No worries.
Cranberry orange chutney Thanks for recipe @estherschindler . Holiday prep has begun #CoSoFood
@Veronique thanks for the reminder! I was feeling guilty for stepping away but this reminds me that I can choose whether to inflame the fire.
@MrsHowelsEyebrows I'm noticing that I put on sweats around 4pm now with the "intention" of putting on pjs later - just in case I need to go out or something. Only happened once in the last month, have slept in sweats every night. I might as well admit that I'm not going out after dark anymore until about April 2023.

Sickened to wake up to another mass shooting encouraged by sitting representatives. Every single lawmaker who has spoken out/written laws against LGBT+ & drag shows should be sued for inciting this violence & causing these deaths.
We cannot allow this stochastic terrorism to continue. The GQP knows what they're doing; they claim the shootings are a "mental health problem" (stoked by them).
My heart is with the survivors, the families of the victims, & the first responders.
@StephanieResists Hugs. I will continue to do all I can to make sure LGBT+ individuals are safe and know they are welcome everywhere.

It irritates me SO MUCH when I see people theorizing that the reason Elno's eliminating so much staff is because of "dead weight".
This is painting the majority of all workers as lazy fffks while trying to perpetuate the myth that billionaires work alongside us in employment trenches.
The people that COULD quit, did.
The people that cannot quit are now hostages.
If a company has "dead weight", that's a management problem, an HR problem. Not a worker problem.
