Thanks to everyone who received my thoughts this morning with such openness and positivity.
It's one of the things I really do love about CoSo ... that I can be myself without fear and death threats ... it's sad that I even have to say that that has been my experience expressing my thoughts and philosophy of life on other platforms ... actual death threats that warranted police investigation even.
It's nice to be among people who value positive thoughts and engagement and self-reflection. ❤️

Death threats are NOT OK jeeze.
I suppose there are other people who have experienced that, and it's no wonder peole are a little jittery. Holy crap. I'm so sorry.
Just.... trying to hold you and anyone who's had that happen to them in a super safe bubble. 💜 🤗
@janallmac Oh I had so many ... you have no idea. Terrifying. When I was running my magazine even in the early 2000s someone sent me a dead animal in the mail with threats ... people are unwell ... and to have such EXTREME responses to something so benign like a film or television review, opinions on books or video games or just philosophy quotes indicates deep mental illness. People need help and social media just makes mental health issues worse for many.
@thewebrecluse @janallmac
Hate that a lot. Agree that SM can be lighter fluid for toddlers* and/or the unwell.
I think mailboxes were the precursor to social media's anonymous drive-by's. Ours would be periodically smashed.
*for lack of a better term. I like toddlers.
A friend of @IronButterfly calls actual toddlers "mobile infantry" ❤️ and I like that SO much. 😆
I refer to adult toddlers who can't think for themselves, have no emotional control, and who rage over everything what the Greeks called "the mob" ... dangerous, single-minded, powerful, and you either appease them or suffer their wrath or separate from them completely and walk your own path.
