When I joined CoSo back in November, the first thing that struck me was the sense of community.
It was like walking into a coffee shop full of good friends, the camaraderie was obvious.
To my amazement, I was welcomed right in. Before I knew it, someone offered me a seat at the table, asked if I'd tried the muffins, and commented on the book I was reading.
I share more of myself here than anywhere else, and I love what you share with me.
Thanks for taking me in! 😊 🐿️
@LnzyHou
Thanks! I've been thinking it for a long time, pretty much every day. I think we all notice that difference here, it's awesome!
The sheer number of interactions I got in the first 20 minutes of this post says it all. CoSo is a community! 😊 🐿️
@p3R1n01D you're a gem and I'm glad to follow you. Thanks for what you bring to the table.
@Coffee_and_Salt
Thank you so much, my friend! The feeling is mutual. Your kind words made my day! ❤️ 😊 🐿️
@p3R1n01D and if I recall correctly, I've seen you fighting the good fight over at the bird site, standing up for CoSo. Just want you to know you're seen and appreciated.
@Coffee_and_Salt
Aww, thanks! Just spreading a little truth. ❤️
@p3R1n01D this right here.
@p3R1n01D Bien venue!
@MeTheUnfiltered

@p3R1n01D such a breath of fresh air, isn't it?
Nicely said!

@MrsDanaD
Thanks! 👊 Great people! 😊 🐿️
Agree!
It’s a pretty special place.
@p3R1n01D ❤️ I feel the very same way 😎 my overall mental health is far better for being here , of this I'm sure!
@p3R1n01D I love that gif.
@MistyKitty3
One of my favorites! Seems to fit this kooky family pretty well. 😉 😂
BTW, nice space suit! 😊 🐿️
@p3R1n01D It's nice here. Space Furce (Tw though) has many cat members & even goat members. Lemme see if I can find the pics.
@p3R1n01D we’re happy you’re here :) The sense of community here is wonderful, you’re right. I genuinely look forward to speaking with the people I’ve met here throughout my day.
Again, welcome. Glad you’re here !
@_Hunter
Thank you! I'm still loving it here, and still discovering new facets of people I've known a while. 😊 🐿️
Conversations on sensitive and delicate issues are possible here that just don't happen on other platforms. This really is a special place!
I'm sure founding members like yourself must cringe a bit with every wave of new folks. But it seems newcomers mostly adopt the CoSo culture of friendliness and civility, and the old hands are always welcoming.
OH DEAR. THIS POST WAS SET TO SELF-DETONATE 💣 💥 🔥

@p3R1n01D I Also Joined Up Last November …Fancy That. And I Echo Your Assessment Of CoSo …CoSo Feels Like Home.
@Nordicfae
It sure does, doesn't it? Even more so now than when I wrote that.
I've been seeing you around, good to finally meet you. Anyone who likes tree rats is a friend of mine! 😊 🐿️
You two made me go look at my pinned “Howdy y’all” intro post and in 27 days it’ll be my one-year anniversary. How’s about ‘dem apples? 😃😁
@see_the_sus @p3R1n01D We Should Have A Anniversary PARTY 🎉 🎈 …With Cake 🧁
@Nordicfae @see_the_sus
I was just thinking that! We'll be having a lot of anniversaries next month. 🎉 Yes, cake! 😋 🎂
I don't remember exactly when I joined, I didn't write my intro post until I had already been here a while. I'd say mid-November, though.
I was setting up accounts on several platforms, just connected with a few folks I already knew here. I already knew this would be my "real" hangout, the others just for political activism. But it was the #PancakeWar that hooked me! 😂
Aaahhh the #PancakeWars 😋 😆
@see_the_sus @Nordicfae
That's where you and I met, as I recall. I think we were on opposite sides, but joined forces with someone else on a third side and signed the Great Pancake War Truce so we could all go eat. 😂
You got a better memory than I do! 🤔
And with that, I must bow out and shut down. Catch ya on the flipper side. ♥️
Cake is always a must!
@Nordicfae @see_the_sus
Wow! Those are some fancy cakes. I'll take option E, all of the above! 😋 😂
When down with Covid and not able to put two thoughts together, I found great consolation in reading about busy lives rolling on. Often unable to respond with more than emoji (which I hate), I did my best to stay plugged in. The on rush of concern & well wishes brought tears to my eyes.
I’m overwhelmed with gratitude too Mike
@p3R1n01D Have a ☕️☕️☕️ and pull up a chair! What a great post!❤️🤗❤️
@JGSchaeffer
Thanks! 😊 I have to admit it's one of my best, inspired by the great people on CoSo. And a real evergreen, even more true today than when I wrote it. ❤️ 🐿️
@p3R1n01D love this.
@peeppeepcircus
Thanks! One of my favorites, for sure. 😊 🐿️
@p3R1n01D i meant your whole post 😊
@p3R1n01D
I 💜 your post.
