boo hiss. i've steadily resisted activating gemini on my phone. i do use voice control sometimes when i'm on my own & my voice is working, but i guess i didn't need it anyway, because like hell am i activating gemini just for voice control.

Google Assistant’s days have been numbered for a while, but the company has now settled on a date to retire its pre-AI assistant robot.

handle updated to my domain, which has nothing at the actual domain still, but i'm not going to go & change my display name or userpic at the same time. still me, just less polite to people who deserve being less polite to.

if you're posting telling other users to off themself, you're part of the problem. i don't care which group of people you're targeting with it, sui-baiting like that is downright dangerous & doesn't just affect the one account you're replying to. blockity-block.

one thing about on here is that i have no tolerance for bullshit. respond with bullshit or snippily & it's straight onto a list. things don't have to be strictly true to be hurtful or language that we can change our speech to avoid.

Can I interest you in a tiny adventure or two?

Short version: One disaster after another, and I'm one wrong cough from another hospital trip. My day job is on hold until the Post Office gives me answers. So, who fancies a wallpaper? Over 150 to choose from at $2 each, or grab a bundle and get a discount: ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm... #Photography

being able to make use of case management & social work services has made my life so much less stressful, i swear.

love the hypocrisy when someone says they're anti-MAGA but also is a transphobe and biological essentialist scum. come on folks, you might as well be batting for the other team at that point; you're certainly making their lives easier.

#Caturday #CatPicture #Cat #CellphonePhotography time! 27 july 2026 my mother's cat, ghost. she's very pretty & lives up to her name. she was about two years old when my mother brought her home from the shelter & she took to my mother almost right away. it's taken longer for the rest of us.

a grey-brown tabby cat, with blue eyes, tabby markings on her face, and a lighter colour whisker pads, chin, and chest. she is behind a window pane that has a very faint reflection superimposed on top of the photo, and the window pane is significantly dirty. the cat is sitting up, looking down out of the window.

i wanted to go to my online na meeting but i'm too blah & now i don't want to. so i'm not going to. & i'm not going to buy into the guilt or feeling bad either. it's okay. & this is why i can only have commitments at one meeting per week. i have my in person meeting sundays & that's enough for me.

wherever they happen to fit or currently be piled, with the ones i read most or am currently reading on top or in their own piles, or in my bag that i take places. i have two bookshelves on which there are zero books. the rest of my books are still boxed up. one day I'll have bookshelves again.

Enough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?

i thought the highway loved me but she beat me like a drum @queerasinfuck.you · last wk.

"we might as well give up". actual words i just read, that for my sense of decency I'm not quoting the poster. should be "i don't care what happens to anyone". giving up isn't an option. not even in the supposedly safer blue states. giving up lets 'them' win & brings hell down upon ourselves.

25 february 2026 one of my tiny #Cactus. this time #CellphonePhotography #Photography captures what can barely be seen up close; this particular cactus wasn't even two whole inches tall at the time. no, i don't remember exactly what it is; my baby cacti bring me joy even without that knowledge.

five paddles of a small cactus in almost macro view, with the body of the cactus & other paddles out of focus on the background. there are very fine reddish spines growing in clusters on each paddle, & at the tip of the paddle the barest pink beginning of a flower can be seen.

it's funny how many people are suddenly okay with #Ableism, #Ageism, #Fatphobia, you name it… as long as it's someone on the other side of whatever. don't use words you wouldn't want applied to yourself or talk about people how you wouldn't want your [same condition] relatives talked about.

Somewhere a university academic is being told to "do more with less" by someone whose job title didn't exist two reorgs ago.

turns out i feel a whole lot better if i'm meds compliant all week. imagine that.

why does it say that people i've added to a list i have blocked are still following me? this is bullshit.

quote chains drive me nuts. i don't want to have to go through the whole matryoshka doll to find the original post. … apparently i'm terminally online tonight. someone save me before i say something stupid.

i thought the highway loved me but she beat me like a drum @queerasinfuck.you · last wk.

anyway entirely separately i'm feeling sentimental. so here's a photo for tonight, although my mother took it. 27 november 2020 best day of my life. hands down. my spouse will tell you that i looked even happier the day of my top surgery, but this still wins in my mind by at least some margin.

a picture of two people holding hands, cropped in so that only the hands & a small background are in the frame. the person in the left is wearing a plaid western shirt with blue jeans & keys vaguely visible in the lower left corner of the picture. their hand is slightly tanned, & they have their fingers entertained with the other person's, & the second person's second hand is on top of the clasped hands. the second person is noticeably fairer-skinned, & has nails ending in silver glitter. both rings are made of opal inlay set in silver, & the first person is also wearing a silver ring with a rope design across the top of it as a wedding band.

my relationship with 12 step is something else altogether. complicated, mostly.

"popular with friends" & someone's dissing firefly. something is wrong here.

rip. my phone is at 27% & i forgot to bring a phone charger with me today whatsoever. hopefully someone at the house will have one i can borrow. even with battery saver mine only lasts until 1830.

it's #Caturday! thus, my contribution today is a picture of zoey's adorable face. 13 july 2026 she's so tolerant with me shoving the phone camera in her face. i always think i'm annoying her, but she has learned to interpret photos as attention & always starts purring when the camera's out.

a close up photo of a calico cat's face. she has amber-green eyes, with a black inverted heart on top of them and then orange tabby markings to either side, as well as her ears, which are only barely in the frame. her whisker pads and her nose are white; her nose itself is pink with a splotch of black. there is a small tiny bit of orange on the left (viewer's right) whisker pad, and then he has a small amount of orange on the very front of her chin. the collar part of her harness, a faded light blue attached to an o ring, is visible in the bottom of the picture.

super pissed off today. found out yesterday the medi-medi plan i'm on is, for all intents and purposes, a piece of shit; i can't switch away from it until after all my dental work is done because ucla special needs dental clinic isn't in network with the hmo shit on the regular medicare part c.

dr i saw today for first appointment was awesome; i'm genuinely thrilled to have them as my new primary care provider. i have an appointment in september to discuss the glp-1 bridge program, which i guess the patient education has to be done in person.
