Breathe. Refocus.
And get some sleep.

Oh and for those who are watching the absolutely amazing show #Ellis, you may be excited to know that episode 2 has aired and is available.

I will check it out tomorrow!

Next in my audible queue is "Strange Beasts" by Susan J. Morris, narrated by another favorite person of mine, Emily Woo Zeller.

The description, coupled with Emily who is epic, were enough to grab my attention.

Maybe I'll get to start it tonight!

And on that note, it's time for me to retire to bed and settle in for the last 5 chapters of "A Dark and Drowning Tide" ... I really have enjoyed this book more than I expected.

I chose it simply because it is narrated by Saskia Maarleveld, which is usually how I choose books (not by plot) and she's done an amazing job with the characters.

Hopefully I won't fall asleep again before I can find out how it all ends 🤣

Maybe it's time for you to get offline.

Maybe it's time for you to stop doomscrolling.

Maybe it's time for you to stop surfing the firehouse or whatever it is you do to rile yourself up.

Maybe it's time to read a book - I recommend Meditations.

Maybe it's time to take a walk - if it is safe for you to.

Maybe it's time to learn how to meditate.

Maybe it's time for you to learn how to breathe.

I know it's absolutely time for you to keep your anger out of my feed though. I do know that.

Check yourself and don't inflict your pain on other people.

They don't deserve that.
They have their own.

Everything that you want to manifest in your own life should be reflected in your social media feed and that includes here on CoSo.

Everything you take in, from chats, to imagery, is feeding your subconscious which contributes to the foundation of your conscious views of life.

If you're allowing things in that don't feed you in a healthy way or that suck the positive energy from your spirit, then keep curating and shifting things until you have balance.

You absolutely owe yourself that. ❤️

One more time for the people in the back ...

If someone posts something that you're not interested in or don't like, or that triggers you, you don't have to comment on it.

You don't even have to acknowledge it.

You can actually ignore it completely without engaging with it in any way, shape, or form.

You do not, and should not, bring whatever dysregulated emotions you're dealing with into other people's posts.

You have your own feed and space to express yourself in.

Laëtitia Eïdo is a French actress also known for her work in Fauda, again, I highly recommend it.

Zoha Rahman is a British-Pakistani actress credited as the first Muslim actor cast in a Marvel movie (Spider-Man: Far from Home)

Maria Bakalova is a Bulgarian actress. I recommend Bodies Bodies Bodies if you're interested in her work.

Rona-Lee Shimon is an Israeli actress, dancer and model known mainly for her lead role in Fauda which I HIGHLY recommend.

Jonica T. Gibb is amazing. I recommend Dogman if you're not familiar with her work.

1/

Eva Green, Ruby Rose, Maria Bakalova, Rona-Lee Shimon, Jonica T. Gibb, Emily Bruni, Laëtitia Eïdo, and Zoha Rahman.

These are your #DirtyAngels.

This is quite a cast of some seriously epic women. If you don't know all their names ... learn. 👍🏾

Especially Rona, Jonica, Laëtitia and Zoha

Lexicographer, etymologist, and star of British game show "Countdown," Susie Dent, posted an incredibly appropriate "word of the day" on her social media following yesterday's election:

A French mobility company called Mobilize has designed a new type of vehicle from scratch.

Two, actually: The Duo, an enclosed two-seater electric quadricycle, and its sibling the Bento, which ditches the back seat for a large storage box.
