Squeak is surviving the kittens wanting to meet her fairly well. I had to share a pic of her too. #caturday #catsofcoso
Mistakes may have been made. @GamerzATX and I adopted these bonded sibling kittens last night. We have lap kittens again.🥰
Attention everyone in the Austin area: my wife's professional photography studio is open!
If you need any photo work done, I highly recommend her... she is amazing and she's trying to get her business off the ground. https://jmcphotography.squarespace.com
LPT: remember to check how old your tech is at least every few years :)
Apparently @GamerzATX (Tim's) tablet is the 2016 Samsung bottom of the line Tab A and I'm surprised it still works after the amount of use he's given it. Looks like he's getting an upgrade :D
Friends who want to support the people of #Palestine but haven’t figured out how to do it w/o being antisemitic, ask your jewish friends for help. But go gently given the current circumstances, ASK first if now is an ok time to ask for advice, and be ready to hear no.
But this is not at all new, there are people out there who can guide you. Listen to them. And maybe don’t spout off until you have.

Thank you for this timely thread, very important!

Trace claims to original context.
I could use a #cosotips if anyone has an idea. Tim @GamerzATX was on all day yesterday and was suddenly logged off on his tablet last night. It looks like he's still logged off when I booted it up to checkthis a.m.. I have logged in as him on my PC to verify it wasn't password silliness. I had him restart last night and login. I'm going to get his tablet and clear any caches and check for updates. Any other suggestions to check? It never seems to finish the login from his tablet.

Contrary to popular misconception, we tend to get more liberal as we age, not more conservative. It’s just that society as a whole gets more liberal even faster, and that lag creates the illusion that older generations are becoming more conservative. We’re not, we’re just taking longer to catch up
The "holiest" of parts of the Earth are also the most accursed. What does that say about religion. #CosoPolitics
Masks are cool. So is empathy and kindness. Love each other. This is my happy space so I try not to vent here. Video games/data nerd/reluctant participant
