Psst.
Hey. You.
There's a campaign going to fund CS further:
https://donorbox.org/countersocial

Are you entering the raffle for the Stitch by Numbers shawl I knit? Donate to CoSo via DonorBox:
https://donorbox.org/countersocial
Every $5 you donate is one entry so a donation of $25 is 5 entries, $50 is 10 entries, etc. I will draw a winner on 11/11!
Normally this piece would sell for $600 so this is a great way to own one of my pieces while supporting CoSo and @th3j35t3r!
PLEASE: If you enter, tag me! If I don’t at least give you a ⭐️, please nudge me until I do! I don’t want to miss anyone!!!

Using hashtags is a good way to find interesting posts.
You can search for them and use them in your posts.
You can also pin a hashtag in a column.
To get started, @realDDGlover has a list of popular hashtags pinned in her profile. Have a look!

We don't usually post "welcome newcomers" posts all the time 😂.
But we are thrilled that you are finally here, so we just can't stop welcoming you. 😬
Also FYI: CoSo has been around since 2017 and it has become a really nice corner of the internet!
@InfoSec_Valkyrie oh great :(

Microsoft Warns on Zero-Day Spike as Nation-State Groups Shift Tactics
One of the most troubling manifestations of the trend is the increasing use among nation-state actors of zero-day vulnerability exploits in their attack chain. Microsoft's research showed that just between January and June of this year, patches were released for 41 zero-day vulnerabilities between July 2021 and June 2022.

@homebird @catlynne333 so do I, but why wait?!
@FatalExit thank you :) I've a good union rep and am pretty good at dealing with stuff like this but all the same it's harsh...
@FatalExit loving, not living!
Not a violent sheep but I'd hold yer coat
Nice to hear you have a living and supportive family around you :) My husband is wonderful - not sure how I'd cope without him.
The work thing is mega shit though. It's triggered a lot of the bad head stuff - I thought my employer was supporting me with my newly diagnosed (2 years ago at 52) ADHD, turns out they were just paying lip service in many ways and I'm now reaping the consequences of that

@FrankCannon
Dim Dan is in a class of his own for sure
One of my fave CoSo things over the past week has been that a somewhat repressive country appeared to join, did one post and has basically been ignored by everyone 😂🤣
No but it's a good supportive place when you're having a hard time - genuine humans and very little snark.
I'm having a hard time head (ADHD, anxiety and stress) and job wise (redundancy - no I don't work for twitter thankfully.. ) but this is a nice place to come and chill...
Did you see that the Darren Grimes show has been cancelled? That really amused me.... 😂🤣
@FatalExit Good morning . Sorry to hear you're having a stressful time
@FrankCannon yes. I must admit the GBNews farce did make me laugh though
@FrankCannon I disliked him intensely but then his behaviour towards Carole Callwalader pushed me over the edge ... Revolting man that he is.
Thanks everyone who voted! I'll be having a shower as soon as I emerge from my duvet cocoon :)
