Reminder to folks like me coming over from the bird app: There are good reasons different platforms develop their own cultures. Our new friends have welcomed us. Let's get to know them and this place without immediately demanding it all be something different.

Ugh. The rest of the night has just been unraveling for me. Can't seem to make anything work. It's getting late, end of the week...I probably need some rest. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
Ate dinner, but unfortunately McD's was sold out of the pumpkin buckets. So it really was like revisiting childhood! 😄

I've been working today on getting some things set up for my current art project. It's the end of the month and I've been waiting for an opportunity to get one of those childhood pumpkin buckets McD's brought back. Time to take a break and go get one!

Welcome, New Users! Here's a copy of the User Guide (although don't hesitate to ask questions if you need help with anything).
https://counter.social/userguide.pdf
You can create lists for #'s you're interested in, filters to weed out things you aren't. There are groups you can join.
CoSo's incredibly customizable.
And the edit button here is fully functional and free ("delete & re-draft" from the pull-down menu on the three dots to the bottom right of your posts).
A personal account is a mix of things for me. So this account is not devoted strictly to divination, pagan polytheism, and occult practices. I'll talk about those things a lot though, and would love to find people who also talk about those things a lot to follow.
Yeah, those are broad topics. I like reading about practices and views other than just my own.

First recommendation for new folk... Read. That's it just read the room. Yes RTFM and all. But more importantly read people that have been here a while. Some of us are creatives, that promote work, but do it through conversation not just self aggrandizement. Sit down and have a discussion about a subject. Don't just "banner ad" your work, but tell me why you love doing it. Yes this takes time and energy. There is NO SEO to game here.
We Be The Humans.
If, like me, you've recently come over from Twitter and have creative work or services other places to share, I get the feeling it's good to just simply SHARE here. We don't have to fight an algorithm and promote our work 20+ times a day. That takes a whole layer of stress off of it!
#cosowriting - I write short stories. They're all set in the same enchanted forest, but are not a consecutive series. Different characters (some may show up again), different focus, etc.
I hear pet pics are loved here. Please meer Chester and Gatsby. Gatsby is the grey catsby. Chester is her best friend. He has two orange brothers who do have names, but we call them "Chester and the Cheetos" when referring to them as a group.

I've got a few more folks seeing me here today than yesterday, so...interested in practicing divination with things you find in the back of a drawer or that one piece left from an old game you lost years ago?
That's what I've been writing about lately. Not offering readings or lessons. Just writing a substack on it.
Had a big seizure again last night, and the after-effects are putting a lot of things on hold today. My seizures are non-epileptic, so the meds the doc tried with me did nothing.
I hate taking naps. Naps are probably going to happen today.

New folks. CoSo "sanitizes" All out bound links. To remove tracking information.
If you look at most URL's you might see a ? followed by a large amount of gobbledygook. That extra junk it the tracking information. It is stripped out before displaying it in your post.
Now not all URL's are standard, so that once in a while a URL will have a ? In it but no tracking information.
To post such a link. Just add;
/nosanitize
Anywhere in the post.

Listening to Black Women: The Innovation Tech Can't Figure Out
Tech creators and journalists ignore the insights and experiences of Black women—and fail to see the harm of their "innovations."

There's going to be hiccups on social networks that are growing. Okay, so if you experience any of those hiccups, take a moment to step back. Back take a breath. We're not going anywhere. It's okay.
Knowing this platform doesn't want complete jerks, seeing people actually acting to help the new folks...this really takes the edge off of the "new kid anxiety".
