@killagator @Merlin Still contemplating the purpose for the rope with carabiner clip around his waist...๐ค
@Museek Poignantly marvelous idea!
@LiberalLibrarian Everything is really quite glorious when you see with grateful eyes. Happpy for you!
@_Hunter @annamuneca Intellectually yes...it's that OTHER voice ๐
@annamuneca Oh, I hear you! I would get so tight that I couldn't find any comfortable position. My hips became so tilted that one leg would become 1/2 inch shorter than the other.
@annamuneca @_Hunter I used to feel like that after long days sitting/standing. Like gravity was winning and slowly compressing me into a flat disk. Then it occurred to me, that was precisely the problem AND the solution. I finally invested in an inversion table. Really, really helped to resolve the pain faster, realign hips/vertebrae and widen the disc space to allow those nerves/muscles to relax. Leg stretches helps alot, but zero gravity did the trick!
Just mentioned in a DM that part of my experience of #CoSo has been bittersweet precisely because, after years of thinking I was just a tedious weirdo for wanting to talk about subjects that no one else seemed interested in (i.e., subjects that weren't trending), and in much more *careful* ways, too... it was so easy to find my people here.
*So* easy!
So--it's been bittersweet to realize how much time I'd lost to toxic spaces.
But I'm glad to focus on the "sweet" part of that equation now. ๐
@mrrichwrites Looking forward to reading your writing and poetry!
@catherineryanhyde It's amazing these exist, let alone can be photographed so clearly. Total awe on both levels.
@damianreloaded Brilliantly stated. Love that guy.
@Chrissie Very well done...love your subject matter too!
@MisterE I have a feeling I know why he removed it. People were confused trying to edit profiles and clicked on their name instead of the "edit profile" label. Issue might be solved with changing the color of the edit profile to stand out.
For some reason sidewalk ants have decided to explore my house. (Not the little sugar ants who have food in mind.) Nope. These larger scouts have no particular objective but to wander aimlessly around dropping their little pheromone trails for their buddies to follow.
The Windex bottle is my weapon. Works great. Except after one day, I feel terrible watching them fight & die in a puddle of soap knowing I did that. Empathy for the ant. (oh, god...)
Tomorrow we fix the tiny gap on the door.๐
@thudfactor Incredibly responsible act. Wish more men were like you.
Evangelical White Nationalist Fascists have been telling us that there are only TWO ways to protect white majority rule in this country:
1. Block immigration.
(Build the wall rhetoric/Keep them out)
2. Produce more white babies. (Abortion ban, including rape/incest. Lowering legal age for marriage to increase child bearing years. Contraception ban...coming.)
If you think these things are not related, think again.

@Jasulainen I can't speak for everyone, but it's on my mind every single day.
