@ACID_CASUALTY I'm currently caring for a family member who had a stroke last fall... I've learned that even with serious ones, recovery of a lot of function is possible with his physical therapy and determination
@th3j35t3r @5ugarcane Hope all goes well...you've got lots of love and support!

Just want to go on the record that, for over 6 years, I have perceived CoSo to be extremely supportive and inclined to comfort around well-being challenges.
Depressed? Anxious? Grieving? Traumatized? Preserving sobriety?
More than one of us has been there. Folks step up with compassion and empathy.
We are imperfect humans but hearts and intentions are solid.
@TheNewsOwl Sorry to learn that people are being so nitpicky and demanding! I enjoy the variety of your posts

The amazing astronomer, Dame Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock, predicts that in 2024 we will find evidence of alien life.
Stay tuned.
🎄 ☃️ Merry Christmas everyone!

And while I'm feeling introspective -- thank you, @th3j35t3r , for building CoSo and keeping it running and safe.
There's no better place in social media.
Happy holidays ❤️

BREAKING: Unknown number of heavily armed shooters enter high-rise, shots fired, possible hostage situation unfolding. No demands made. Some rando seems to be babbling about pizza on LAPD frequencies.

A simple word of encouragement can make all the difference in someone's life. It can lift their spirits, boost their confidence, and inspire them to keep going. Let's spread encouragement like wildfire and create a positive ripple effect.

The Geminids are tonight! One of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year, from an asteroid, not a comet, averages about 120/hr (in a dark area)...and one that just happens to celebrate my birth each year 🥳 😂😂
This shower unusually allows some meteors to be seen even in very highly light-polluted areas (I saw two within 15 minutes from NYC one year!)
The moon is cooperating nicely at 1% waxing cresent 🌚
US viewing probability is below 👇

@corlin Dealing with very similar situation involving close family at the moment. One day they're open to the change and then the next engaging in magical thinking that they can just stay the way they are. Painful and heartbreaking since I have to be the bad guy who pushes them. Definitely not easy
It's been a really rough year overall and has been harder recently. Everything going to hell at once. No end in sight yet. Sometimes things don't get better. Just needed to throw that thought into the void somewhere
@CJShaneArtBooks As someone with ties to the area, I'm going to give this a read!
