I’m at the point where I think the UN Security Council is a failed organization. If a member is violating international law, it should not have voting rights. I think the rest of the world needs to form a new organization if they can’t expel or sideline Russia from the UNSC.

Totally open to other ideas, but something must be done to hold Putin/Russia accountable for their atrocities and to ensure the rights of countries to exist without invasion.

@misterfive I am so with you there. My brain will literally think of any other thing I could do instead of paperwork. Generally only a deadline forced me to focus on it

You might really question your belongingness and doubt your welcome or value in a community like this, but time and again we see that people are remembered…their loss is felt.

You just never know who appreciates you—someone may silently look for you in the darkness for encouragement or inspiration or comfort.

You just don’t know. So believe it.

If you are here, you are part of this community and part of what makes it special.

💛

@Minholkin

You are an especially wonderful part of this community and never fail to brighten my day just when I needed it most all by you being you

💖💖💖

Thoughts:

Lurking here on CoSo is a wonderful thing. If you are one who seldom posts, but enjoys reading, you are wanted and welcome. Posting in not required. You don't need to explain, nor in anyway feel less than, for lurking. In fact let's get rid of that word, and just say you are a reader.

All writers need readers. Reading is semi-miraculous act. And respect is due.

Just thinking about how everybody--even the people you like and appreciate the most--can have a really sucky awful day

and it can affect their behavior.

So if you run into someone, IRL or here, and get behavior that is unpleasant or perplexing or in some other way alienating

Maybe give them the benefit of the doubt.

Step back, take a break, give space

But don't necessarily write them off.

There might be more to the story than you could ever guess.

Dear everyone.

Send me alllll the vibes and good lucks for tomorrow.

i mean it.

every last luck.

dont hold back.

ill know.

New Rice Krispie treat recipe… used cocoa krispies, added 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the melted marshmallow, once smooth, mixed into the krispies, and then topped with some melted chocolate once pressed into the casserole dish. If your in a chocolate and peanut butter mood, it’s so good

@damselfly59 @Beanc I have a version of this on my office wall with a different graphic. I smile daily 😊

Ever heard of ocean forests? They’re larger than the Amazon and more productive than we thought.

Our new research has discovered just how extensive and productive they are. The world’s ocean forests, we found, cover an area twice the size of India.

@Toni_Walker thank you and @Minholkin, John, Steel Rat Gamer for being there in my moment of woe. While it’s later than it should be for me, a hot shower seems to have turned my brain down. Love and appreciate you folks. 💖💖💖

Y’all, it’s been a hard week, spouse has a shoulder injury so long hours at work & I’m also handling school drop offs. I’m grumpy from lack of sleep but trying not to be. I skipped lunch which triggered a naughty dinner + sweets snacking tonight. At least I got my walk in with my pups today. Although it’s hard, the work Im doing is being recognized/ applauded, which usually motivate me to keep going. I may be over tired as sleep isn’t kicking in yet. I’ll stop whining now, thanks for listening

I adore the new She Hulk series, and everyone who was a part of it should be so proud of their work.

@Beanc
This is so me. I wasn’t diagnosed until my early 30s, ADD, not the hyperactivity version, which I think is why it took so long, hated homework and always waited until the last possible moment to finish it

Y’all, I made potato leek soup for the first time tonight, garnished with bacon crumbles and cheddar cheese. Super yummy and I’m a huge fan of leeks now 😊
