@annamuneca hugs, hope you have a good night
@Coffee_and_Salt Thank you for the huge belly laughs this gave me and my hubs 🤣😂🤣
Jennifer Rubin makes a great conclusion in this piece, which addresses a fear of mine.
I believe a huge part of USA’s success is the continuous attraction of talent, which seriously receded with #Trumpism. I have been worried about the lack of renewal from new ideas would lead us into decline.
A perfect point for us to fix #immigration & attract the best and brightest to fuel our next decades of #innovation and continued relevance in the world to be

@ChippySuave good schools should focus on STEAM (science, tech, engineering, ARTS & maths). arts are a very necessary part of life, not a frivolous afterthought

I know this will be a stretch for some of you
But when people are behaving badly--entitled, demanding, hurtful--it is usually because they, themselves are acting out of an injury they may not even recognize.
Trying to remember this can help YOU be less affected when you see it.
You don't have to respond. Just let it flow past.

Message for my fellow Twitter refugees
When we came here from birdland, the good people of CoSo took us in & were kind & welcoming and smart and funny and easy to be with.
And we all can enjoy that good company for a long time for absolutely free & nobody will harass us for money, judge us for not being able to afford a donation
But we added a huge load to a site that was not expecting so many of us. Servers had to be added, etc. We need to chip in if we can. And if we can't? That's okay, too

Thankful Dad has his neuro appt today as we may hear more about his condition
The weather is beautiful—a little overcast with a nip in the air
I am thankful the aromas of honeysuckle and gardenia exist. I miss them this time of year but they always make me smile.

Have a great one everyone! 💖💖💖

There are auctions going on for CoSo's 5th Birthday on the 17th.
Check out #CoSoLifeSupport or #CoSoAuction tag for those.
If bidding isn't for you, then please consider going Pro at US$5 per month.
If that's still too much commitment (understandable in the economic climate), please consider a one off US$3 donation.
Please boost & support our online home if you have the ability to do so. If not, we've got you. 💚
A lot of crap is being tread in here from the Bird shithole.
Thought: For their benefit and the good of the CoSo Actual (ha) community, bird ppl warped and suffering from Bird-Rage-itis and negativity addiction (I was there at a point), should have a decompression staging area, where they can get their bearings, cast away their bitterness /hostility and regain their humanity and see respect the humanity in others.
Lacking that perhaps watch and read and get a sense for things here a bit.
I'm true to myself / my core values & am focused on family--bio & chosen, safeguarding our broader community, spreading loving kindness, & cybersec consulting
