Hey, many of you NewNauts seem to be unaware how many ppl here love the little critters of nature.
#CoSoCats / #CatsOfCoSo (& #Caturday) are all cat-lover tags (and Saturdays are a flood of kitty pix), but...
There's also #DogsOfCoSo,
One person used #PiggyLife for her guinea pigs (🤎).
And the all-inclusive #CoSoCuties (which is subjective, but it's okay: post your spider pics).

"Why is everyone telling me to use hashtags?"
CounterSocial doesn't have algorithms. That makes hashtags extremely important for both finding the content you like, and filtering out the content you don't.
That requires a bit of an adjustment on your part. Out There™, you are conditioned to avoid hashtags because that's how they troll you. We don't have trolls here, so hashtag it up! #CoSoTips
Life to be one big, fat, crazy, insane, challenging, scary, shipwreck that threatens to take us under. However, Voltaire’s advice about singing is right on the mark. When life gets you down, climb into whatever life boat that is nearby, and sing praises that you’re alive!
Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.” – Voltaire
Lovely article about one of my ex colleagues who's gone on to do some great things since being treated quite badly by our mutual employer...
Gives me hope in my current uncertain job situation...
@Zailrand @CriticalCupcake Agree. To me it feels like he’s intentionally opened the floodgates for mass purveyors of disinformation and hate—anyone caring ANYthing about “truth” would NEVER have tweeted the horrendous lie he did about Paul Pelosi—to further a LT goal of replacing democracies globally with systems where *oligarchies* rule.
So he can keep avoiding taxes, influence policies, and make cryptocurrency THE ultimate dark billionaire grift he fantasizes about…
@Zailrand my dad worked out that the CEO of the company he works at got a bonus last year that is the same as 53 years of his wage... thats just the bonus.
And the staff are now striking for fairer pay and to stop the company slashing their rights, and the CEOs are complaining that the strikes are costing the company too much money.
The world sucks!!!!

If you can boost it now, and boost it a few more times today, that would be fantastic.

Today's theme is "when will HR contact me about redundancy arrangements"...
While I'd like them to do it sooner rather than later every day of delay actually works in my favour and as I'm currently signed off work by my Dr in the main due to the stress caused by the appalling way this organisational change has been (mis) managed I'm not currently at work so don't have to deal with the ongoing bin fire. It's all a bit depressing tbh but at least I've not been sleeping on the office floor...

The circular arrow or boost = I read this and I’d like all my followers to have a chance to read it, the original post will end up in your friends’ column.

Not a sheep. Very random. Baa. ADHD
I make stuff and sometimes post pics of the stuff.
I currently work in IT but who knows for how much longer...
