Facebook made me angry.
Twitter made me furious.
Reddit made me curious.
But only CoSo encouraged me to be kind.

I needed to remind myself of this several times the last few days, so here's a reminder for everyone else, too...

Before you toot - KNIT.

Is what you're about to say:
Kind
Necessary
Informative
True

If not, take a step back and re-examine both the toot, and the root.

New Nauts, let me 'splain a little.

CoSo has folks of all stripes. We don't always agree.

We do have an occasionally spoken, but usually unspoken agreement that when we disagree with someone, we keep some things in mind.

My understanding and implementation of it is:

Be civil.
Be honest.
Be trustworthy.
Be empathetic.
Be true to yourself.
Pick your battles.
Remember others are watching and listening.

If someone specific gets your goat constantly, block/mute them, don't lash out.

Love,

although i can considering doing some therapeutic yardwork

yes i took some ibuprofen, hopefully it will help. next up: weed and trying not to think about adulting until i can chill out a bit.

The babies fledged last week. The doves are still coming to the feeder, and may be looking to nest again. I'm so glad the nest was used again. Unfortunately I don't have great pics of the babies. Here's the last few I got of the evening of fledging. I'll see if I can get Rei to post his shots to his never used account later. ๐Ÿ˜…

happy 4/20 to all celebrants <3

(and much patience for those who don't! much like drinking holidays, this will pass.)

Homeowner's Insurance.

Mine went up approximately 25% from last year.

I have never made a claim.

How about yours? Is this "normal?"

I don't recall such a big jump ever in the past.

Love y'all; remember to take some time for self-care. ๐Ÿ’œ

Be gentle with yourselves (and each other). ๐Ÿ’œ

Take a step away from the news if you need to. We can't do anything about it directly anyway.

Happy National Pet Day!
Please give them all cuddles & treats! โค๏ธ

Just got off the phone with a guy I have known for about 15 years, never could get more than about 1 year sober. This time he had about 6 months, and started drinking again. It's complicated, as he also suffers from a bad case of PTSD. Anyway he got himself to the hospital and through a detox. He called because his so called sponsor asked him "Why did you drink", and this pissed my friend off.

There is no shame in relapse, And why is a nonsense question.
"There is no human power."

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the most wonderful human I have ever had the privilege to know. You set an example of kindness and good nature I can only *hope* to emulate.
I love you @Mauve_matelot โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
