#CoSoAnniversary

So tomorrow it will be 7 years.
I have been here 6.

To notice:
It is not the quantity, it is the quality.
Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Don't be a dickhead.
Nobody cares how many followers you have.
Nobody cares who you follow.
Still has not sold out, to outside funding.
Never been hacked, nor compromised.
Swift justice for bots,
Might be small, but mighty.
Community is a verb.

Please add your thoughts to this hashtag.

we send out relief for ourselves and all those countless others.

contact what we are feeling and breathe in, take it in,

for all of us—and

send out relief to all of us.”
