When I talk about how white people contribute to racism instead of whining about it, do something. Listen to Black people when they talk about dismantling racism. Learn about it own your own it isn't their responsibility to teach us how.

I quit listening to the talking heads (of both parties) 13 yrs ago when I cancelled cable. As a grown-ass, educated woman I don’t need someone to interpret the news for me.

It is not possible to get more money by letting the rich keep more of your money. It doesn't make any fucking sense and yet trickle down is still believed by so many.

What type of individual is so threatened by the telling of any story other than their own? I just don't get it and am glad I don't. I want to hear all the stories of all the people, and I hope they are all different. That's what makes life and friendships interesting and rich. I don't want everyone to believe exactly as I do and have all the same experiences and preferences. That's like going to coffee everyday with myself. B-O-R-I-N-G.

Good morning, CoSo!

Welcome back to a day of connecting with other people through curiosity, appreciation, and support, rather than frustration, argument, and outrage.

As morning rises over a rainy #Memphis, the city is hurt and angry, but despite certain media outlets' reporting, not aflame.

There was a march on Beale Street last night and several other rallies.

We're resilient, we persevere, and we care about where we live.

Just a reminder; if you want to post the video of the deadly police violence from Memphis that's going to be released today, please use a spoiler or trigger warning. Not everyone wants to see it. Not everybody needs to see.

Ahh, FB AI. I got hammered twice for spam for saying Counter Social. I have an authors page there so I have to play nice.

So I made this graphic and I'm telling all my friends it is a counter with social people under it.
