I'm excited to share that I officially accepted a promotion at work today. I'm so thrilled, but I don't want to spread the news to people I work with until the official announcement goes out, so I'm sharing it here instead. Hope others here are having some big wins in their lives too!

I will never understand why people buy concert tickets then talk through the performance. In addition to being rude, it's also a waste of time and money to miss the show they paid for. 😑

I have a good friend who was banned from the bird app as a condition of Elon's purchase several months ago. Yesterday he gets a call from an unrecognized number in San Francisco. The call went something like this...

"We're willing to reinstate your account with once condition- you agree not to post disparaging tweets about Mr. Musk."

"Yeah that's not something I'm willing to agree to. No thanks."

(It's astounding to me that anyone believes the things this man says anymore.)

a billionaire whose entire personality is defined by shitposting is being taken down by shitposting, this is how it always had to end for him

I still have work to do and don't get me wrong, I feel good about where I'm at and where I'm headed, but there's clearly some other work I need to do to get my head in the right space.

So just thinking about how silly my thoughts are sometimes. I have lost 40 lbs in the last few months by working my ass off- eating well & moving consistently. Instead of just accepting that for the tremendous accomplishment it is, I also find myself feeling embarrassed. I'm a short woman, so I keep thinking, "Will people hear that number and be disgusted that I had that much to lose to begin with?" or "Will people be aghast that I've lost so much, and I'm still not at a healthy weight?"

Such a pretty evening tonight. Now off to bed to get up early for the lunar eclipse and to

We were able to enjoy a pretty evening in yesterday while waiting in line for a concert

I was eating my breakfast this morning, and it was too hot so I burned my tongue. But it was good so I immediately took another bite... burning my tongue again. And this is one of many examples in which I just keep walking right into the things that hurt me 🤡

throwback pic from a few years ago. Back when I actually had time to do costume makeup.

I've been here a few days now, and I'm loving it. I never really introduced myself though- so here goes. I work to improve our processes & systems as a call center manager at a specialty pharmacy. In my down time I'm trying be healthier- eating better and moving more. I'm a mom of three- 1 in the workforce, 1 about to graduate high school, and 1 in elementary. I love reading, watching sci-fi & fantasy, and going to a many concerts as I can afford. I'm super introverty.

Lol. I just remembered my dream from last night. I was living in Chicago and dating Albert Hammond Jr. We would meet up on the "L" to head to our date spots. Here's one of his songs for anyone unfamiliar.

@voltronic This. This. This. If you want Twitter; please go be there. Do not try and turn this place into… that. It isn’t. It won’t ever be. Just enjoy it for the wonderful, creative, awesome space that it is! I totally get it’s hard to come off the rage machine. We’ve all been on it for so long. There are things to “fight” for, and against, but find productive ways to fight for the cause, not just screaming into the void online. Instead of what makes you angry, share with us what gives you joy.

I will keep saying this: CoSo is not Twitter. Your toots are not going to go viral. There is no algorithm pumping up controversial content. There are no trending hashtags. This is your chance to change how you interact with people online. It's your chance to reclaim a humanity which social media giants seek to extirpate.

Dumb newbie question: If I'm replying to something that's hashtagged, should I include that same hashtag in my reply or does it "carry over" from the original post and show up where it needs to?
