🧐 Haven't touched base with a few of you lovelies for a while.
@NiveusLepus, have you been able to rest and reacclimate?
@JoyfullyDazed, any rainy-day art breaks as of late?
@Mauve_matelot, is your leg feeling any better?
@stueytheround, any buns in the oven?! 👀
@Kaysymmetry, are you getting lots of kitty snuggles in for sanity?
@Graci, are you ready for the girls of the pod to move on from P2025?
@elmaxx, how're the jams treating you?
@Kinnison: 👋🏻 Hi neighbour!
Hugs to the rest! 🤗
@Graci It is *wild* how comprehensive that monstrosity is!
@MLClark Downright frightening.
To think what could be accomplished if they'd put all that energy into making a *positive* difference in the world today.
So much time and energy wasted fighting such a f@#&ing waste of human effort.
@MLClark And energy wasted in fear.
Yes. They've already "won" in how much they've compelled people to live in fear of them getting a chance to implement this plan in a more comprehensive way than they already do on local levels.
And I'm still worried that folks will forget about this come 2028. "Oh, P2025 is so 2024! The GOP's changed now, honest!"
No. If they could craft this once, they can implement then, too.
In a sane world, they should be losing for years, 'til this has been purged from the party system entirely.
@MLClark Trump is already doing that. And the media, for the most part is going "Oh, ok" and ignoring his Agenda 47, which is lifted from 2025.
I'm still seething over how much the media spun John Kerry as a "flipflopper" for things as simple as "I'm a Catholic myself, but I wouldn't impose my views on abortion on others", yet this latest candidate flips every week on something, and - crickets. You can tell *so clearly* that they want to make a close race out of this for readers and viewers, no matter what the greater civic cost.
@MLClark Exactly. There are far more media outlets now then there were 20 years ago. They're all fighting for the same click pool. The more they keep the feat and perpetuate a false parity, the more money they make. At the expense of everything else.
@MLClark @NiveusLepus @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
ML, you are so thoughtful. 💞
I've done some light writing, but no beautiful rainy day in a while. Sunday is looking hopeful. 👍🌧 #pluviophile
Thank you for including me in this list of wonderful people. 😊
Ah, but autumn is coming! Beautiful rains soon enough. :) Glad you're getting some time for yourself either way! 🤗
@NiveusLepus @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
@MLClark Hi folks!
Not much baking lately. I ought to remedy that.
@NiveusLepus @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
No pressure! Only for joy! We "knead" the pics of those scrummy bakes when they happen, though. ☺️
@NiveusLepus @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
@MLClark @stueytheround Today I worked my second catering shift which has been trimmed by mutual agreement to 6 hours rather than the usual 8 hours. Small amount of pain at the ankle but I think it's because I forgot to medicate yesterday.
@NiveusLepus @JoyfullyDazed @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
Your post implies everyone else not tagged gets a hug 😜
@MLClark @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
I’m on mission in SLC helping with a move. After this I have about 3 weeks home. The most time since February
@NiveusLepus @MLClark @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
Becca you lead such an exciting life, traveling all around. Do you do a lot of personal moving for folks- or is this just a good deed for friends?
@QueenOfEverything @MLClark @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
Anyone that needs me I’ll show up for so long as I’m reasonably sure it’s safe. I’ve done it all. A lot of post surgical care, mental health support, cross country moves, clean outs. I even built a fence once.
All I ask for is travel assistance. I handle the rest.
🫂 Our brilliant and dearly dedicated Becca Snow Hare.
I am so thankful the world has you in it.
I am *so* hoping that you feel supported through your own needs, too - and that you're being kind with yourself on any days that are especially hard.
Thank you so much for touching base.
Big hugs and best wishes, wherever all this "bouncing" finds you next. 🤗
@QueenOfEverything @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
@MLClark @QueenOfEverything @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
I feel quite supported and loved both here on Coso and on my path. I have an amazing husband who supports me.
This is what I’m meant for. All of the suffering and ugly in the world is unnecessary. I want to do whatever I can to bring what light I can.
I’m humbled you think so much of me and hope to always be worthy of it.
@NiveusLepus @MLClark @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
Wow... I envy your energy, and am in awe of your commitment to your calling. It takes a tremendous amount of willpower and dedication to follow a path that involves helping different people with different problems all across the country.
You make a real difference in our world. You make it better. That's success!
@QueenOfEverything @MLClark @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
Thank you my dear friend. You are kind. Service is the path. This is not just duty.
The world is full of walking wounded. We are all, in some way, fighting some secret struggle.
Given that, it seems the most natural thing in the world to want to help. Every small act of light we can bring to this world matters. Even a smile can change the world, or one small act of kindness.
@QueenOfEverything @MLClark @JoyfullyDazed @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround @Kaysymmetry @Graci @elmaxx @Kinnison
So long as I'm here and part of this world, I want to do as much as I can. If one ever doubts the impact they can make look up towards the stars
It's by the steadfast yet minuscule pinpricks of light in the night sky that one can navigate the world and discover new horizons
The truth is there are no small lights or small acts of kindness. Light is, and it will ever conquer the dark
@MLClark Either way is fine. I've learned a lot about the less publicized, and equally horrid, parts of it all.
