Things are destined to get a lot busier around here. It's inevitable. Some tips to keep us sane:

1. Mute or block anyone who harshes your mellow.
2. Welcome newcomers, report asshats.
3. Follow who you like. Post about what you like. That's how followings are made.
4. Turn off the Community Firehose if it ever overwhelms you.
5. There's a moment between authoring the post and posting the post. USE IT. If you post mean-spirited content, then we all look mean-spirited. See #1.

a great rendition of Woody Guthries All You Facists Bound to Lose. It has a great hook, keeps my spirits up when projections tend to bleak.

@TheNewsOwl give a thought to the ratties who died so humans can use their brains to play games. their unwilling sacrifice is never acknowledged or honored. slave labor imo.

@TheNewsOwl polls are unreliable
we must not give in to their fear mongery. ✊😷

Take a few moments to listen to this. It's the most profound explanation of our existence I've ever heard.

It's awesome to see some serious funds are being raised through auctions held this month. For those who are scratching their head & wondering what's going on here's why.

COSO is crowd funded. Those of us who choose the PRO option and/or donate monthly, help @th3j35t3r, as he pays the difference out of pocket. There are no advertisers to assist. Just us, the users.

So, if you see a way you can help a little, we certainly do appreciate it. If you're not in a position to do so,.we've got you. 💜

☀️ ☕ 📰 Happy Sunday everyone! I just finished a sad but beautiful longish read, "The World We're Losing", that looks at solastalgia: "the pain experienced when the environment you live in is under immediate assault. It is the loss of belonging when the place you belong to transforms around you, is altered, or no longer exists as it used to." Highly recommend. #environment #grief #memory

why dont the industry look into conversions instead of just promoting electric? gawd knows we got oceans of grease in this world. combustion engines dont have to run on gas. reuse. retool. recycle.
