If you're having a moment where you need to retreat and recover, don't be afraid to step away and take a breath. This goes for everyone, not just my LGBTQ folks, but all of you. Yes, things are grim and very doom feeling, but we have each other, and we're taking care of our mental health and our physical health both by doing this.

ALRIGHTY... I can say that there are ALMOST WORSE THINGS than :Asshat: picks for his admin-& that's being locked out of COSO & sneaking back in as an EGG to be rescued.

After 2 days trying to get my computer back- I realized that I didn't give a shit about all the gmail frozen accounts- just COSO.

I didn't even get a live human assist from Google/Gmail- much less from CEO Sundar Pichai.

COSO CEO @th3j35t3r personally got me back online- w/patience.

That's the COSO difference

Day 2: Joan Eardley (1921-1963), British, Scottish artist. Exquisite lines, deliciously moody but colourful palettes. Her pastels of Scottish tenement children are particularly moving.

I originally stated I was giving myself a 30 day trail of this site, but decided to go pro early. I like the privacy aspects of this site and decided to put my money where my mouth is :)

Sometimes an afternoon shower and lounging around half-dressed is just what a fella needs 😁

💛 be kind

New World. Runner-up, Man and Nature. "For common mergansers in Warsaw, the breeding season has become rather stressful. Ducklings hatch in a park about one kilometer away from the Vistula river. To get to the river, the ducks must cross two canals and go through three underground passages created especially for this purpose. The final obstacle is a six-lane motorway. Every year, a group of volunteers helps the ducks cross this dangerous road by holding up traffic." #

💙 be dazzle💙
Too Many Dolphins?. Highly Commended, Underwater World. "The encounter with this superpod of spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. It was impossible to keep track of the number of individuals. There were dolphins everywhere; their vocalizations filled the ocean. Some of them stoically passed by, while others eyed me with curiosity."

💙 Good morning

Arctic Tern. Highly Commended, Birds. "Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) patrol along the front of a mighty glacier in search of food. Their hunt is particularly successful after the glacier has calved, dropping large chunks of ice into the sea and stirring up the marine plankton. The image was taken in July 2023 from a Zodiac in front of Monaco Glacier in Liefdefjord, northwestern Svalbard."

❤️ Be careful
Blood of the Earth. Highly Commended, Landscapes. "A huge stream of lava flows from an eruptive fissure into the deserted Valle del Bove in the southeastern crater of Mount Etna, Italy. Sulfurous vapors color the surrounding rocks bright yellow. Positioned at a distance away from the intense heat, I extended my tripod with the camera already mounted, held it up as far as I could above the glowing lava lake, and then took this shot with a remote shutter release."
