Hi to all our wonderful new โ€˜Nauts! I'm Jaunty. Just an ordinary pagan dude who's currently possessed by Pan. I live at the Pan Cave in au naturale splendor with Pan's retinue of satyrs and nymphs. So things don't get boring (haha!), I'm also a cosmic gateway prone to possession by whatever god/goddess happens along. Along with occasional gender and species changes. This often brings much hilarity! So, buckle up, buttercups! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

HELLO LOVELY PEOPLE OF COSO!

Let's help J & CoSo out by generously donating $$. Donate whatever you can. $1.00, $5.00, $20.00 etc.

Let's show our appreciation for OUR favorite social media site :jester:

Donate Link:
donorbox.org/countersocial

This is an amazing place, full of friendship, good will, support, respect, honest and valuable connections. There is no way to put a value on these riches.

But hosting them costs real money. Jester @th3j35t3r not only admins our sorry asses, they pay the lions share of the costs. Let's help. Go Pro. Better, Go Pro +. I figure there are 20 nauts out there who'd like to be Pro but can't...so i pay for them every month. If you can, if you care, think about doing something similar.

Hubby retired ten years ago today.

Wow, what a busy decade with so many accomplishments. ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ

Life resets at retirementโ€”until then, keep on with those hobbies
and dreams. ๐Ÿ’–

And Congrats @sonnybillglover

Ell oh ell, if he seriously believes that there are a lot of churches still using King James on the one hand, and with the spare money to overpay for more copies of what they've already got tons of copies of on the other, he's smoking crack.

People think every church is like Joel Osteen's, and I bet even HE'S not dumb enough to pay sixty bucks for a Bible that's not even bound in leather.

@kel

Unwitting participation in outrage is key! I'd also add another dimension: trauma.

A lot of mainstream news relies on traumatizing its audience with visions of the world going to hell, rather than empowering civic participation by providing info that can be meaningfully applied in viewers' and readers' lives.

Once you've got a viewer cranked up, the addiction cycle takes over. They start seeing you as *the* place to go to have their fears further affirmed, and you rake in your profit.

The fear of being alone is really the fear of being with yourself (your mind). For one who has done the inner work, solitude is one of the greatest sources of joy.

I hear more. I see more. I feel more.

@LiminalLil @realJanet @NiveusLepus oh god that reminds me of the time I was 19 and got stuck hearing Aqua's Barbie Girl for hours while on LSD...

You know what I haven't heard in a long time?

The Macarena!

You're welcome for having that song stuck in your head now. ๐Ÿ˜œ

@MakerWerks That right there is how we win.

I did the same. I'm still informed because people talk about current events here, but I am not being emotionally manipulated in service of malevolent assholes with policital/profit motives.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

@kel This is one of the reasons I'm attempting to ignore as much of the so called 'news cycle' as possible. I realized it serves no purpose other than raising my blood pressure to unsafe levels.

Make us furious enough to start talking about their bullshit, so that we won't talk about how things have improved under a Democratic POTUS or how things would improve further with a Democratic majority.

It's the shiny squirrel of outrage technique, and holy shit does it ever work like a charm.
