@LnzyHou @SuziqLeathers I’m 21 years past 50 and definitely post menopausal and married to a guy who had a vasectomy in the 1970s, but what these MAGA morons can’t fathom is that THIS ISN’T ABOUT ME. It’s about everyone - male and female - who simply wants to make their own reproductive decisions.

This place isn't for everyone.

It's only who it's for. #CoSoRocks

Dear everyone on CoSo:

Thank you for being you. Even the ones that I can't get along with, I still love you too.

There's some folks on here that really make me want to be a better person, and give me frequent reminders that there's good folks in the world.

Even with the folks I have fought with here, almost exclusively I had the impression that their hearts still turn towards the good, they and I just disagree about what good looks like is all.

🖤

I have to remind myself almost daily:

There are lots of scary things in my past experiences and plenty of scary unknowns about the future but I can also be motivated by the not so scary things in the present.

Why are there so many fuckups in the Republican Party?

Easy.

Every lying, perverted, racist, misogynist, fraudster dirtbag thinks they can join and *is* joining the party because Trump is all of the above and gets away with it.

And apparently he's the best they have to offer to the nation.

See Mark Robinson and a whole bunch of others for details.

@catlynne333 I don’t think he should be talking about getting out of the couch unless he is referring to his running mate.

Excuse me, WHAT?!? My book is recommended in the same sentence as THE SHINING BY STEPHEN KING?!? WHAT?!? http://bdrpublishing.com/horror-genre-and-its-subgenres/

Pass it on:

Bet you didn't know that you've been silently opted-in by default so that "LinkedIn and its affiliates [can] use your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn to train generative AI models that create content."

If you don't want this, do the following:

1. Go to "Settings and Privacy"
2. Go to "Data Privacy"
3. Click on "Data for Generative AI Improvement"
4. Change option to "Off"
5. Click Back

@AnnetteTRemain @killingfloorman
^^That is absolutely one of my concerns.

We are not so different here.

Anti-immigrant rhetoric and groups who would make our government a theocracy are the U.S. version of Middle Eastern extremists. It's not that bad, yet, but it is on the same continuum.

"Why do I need a Pro account to send a Direct Message?"

This is one of the ways that CounterSocial keeps the community protected, as unsolicited DMs are huge vector for all sorts of abuse on other platforms.

Fortunately, the ability to send DMs is not the only benefit of going Pro. #CoSoTips

Oh hey, @AskTheDevil what say you? 😆😘
