I only can control my own actions. My own behavior, my own reactions, my own thoughts, my own speech.

I can control my expectations; though hoping for the best, I can stop expecting that my choices or behavior determine what is not under my control.

I can control my own attention, if I keep practicing.
I can attend to being peaceful, generous, quiet.
I can give my mind this gift by practicing restraint, calm detached discipline, compassion.

Best i've got, today.

New? welcome ! :)

When I came to CoSo, I had culture shock. It felt a little unreal. No algorythms pushing content, no ads... No trolls driving the threads. No data mining of me, & all my contacts.

It's real.

None of us deserved these times
the lost opportunities
the stolen chances
the age-old debris of generational damages & toxic build-up
Not a single person deserved the shitstorm pile-on catastrophe that is the age we get for living in.
We have been fuckety fucked over.
Still, we manifest kindness at times,
we generate regenerative moments,
& in sharing them
we create timeless beauty.

We might any or all of us
die tomorrow.
Still we did those moments.

This, behind my smile.

I can't. But if you can - support this wonderful thing. Costs the equivilent of a coffee, a cheap fast food meal / month.

Epidemiologists, & other Experts:
If someone has tested positive for COVID, quarentined for 2 weeks, then cannot test for next 90 days because it's just going to be positive; if symptoms during the 90 days, how can she know if CIVOD or flu?
Please don't offer answer if not expert on the tests & science.

Friend of mine works in an industry with rigorous weekly testing.

I have Muted more than a few of my newer Followers over this FYI.

I review my Mute list every once in awhile.

Ok, I am going to logoff for awhile.

PLEASE use #hashtags and Content Warnings.

Cuz apparently I am not a citizen in the United States of SCOTUS. I am an incubator for men's children.

The Great Experiment is over.
Theocratic rule, presented by oath breaking perjurers against the people; nevermore goverance by for or of the people or with established precedent.

I'd like to revisit secession now.

You can be / are many things. And you can bring that here, without fear of judgement.

If I am sad - I can bring my sad here. If I am in pain, that too. But I can also bring my joys, my silliness, my curiosity, my awes, my friendliness.
No one is going to call the mood police on me cuz they aren't here. I can be inconsistent - cuz that's real.

The only thing to leave out of CoSO is ass-holery.

So - share the little victories, & the small joys here.
It is actually good for your health.

Our mail-in ballots have arrived.

You can bet I am going to vote the crap out of it.

As usual.

Hours checking candidates, issues. Unless they identify as GOP cuz, I really don't care why.

I need tea.

My cat has discovered that walking on tippy toes over my shins WILL get me awake & moving.

I am considering shielding options.

I saw some outrageous news about something which supposedly happened in Ukraine.

I was unable to confirm the story anywhere, nor the images attached.

So I am going to post this, & urge you to use it, cuz Outrage has costs & risks, & people are complicated.

On Ukraine, I consider @Render reliable & I would give benefit of doubt to any he specifically recommends.

Othwerwise please practice good info hygiene.

Do you feel judged?

Be a cat; don't care.
