have i complained here about the pairing of iphones and apple watches? if you’re adept enough in your sleep to turn off the buzzing device on your wrist.
iphone? no extra alarm clock needed.
iphone + watch? get an alarm clock
like i know apple made changes to it but it’s still garbage.

it continues to amaze me how alive D/s makes me feel.
that i’ve made so many mistakes with others is no longer a surprise.
D/s is extremely hard on both sides of the slash.
i continue to lean on the notion that i am an easy mode bottom but well over hard mode submissive.
sigh.

the dog wants a walk and the cat wants held and pets. the cat is jealous and afraid of the dog but not afraid enough to not swat her face.
which is so rude given the dog can’t see out of the one eye. if the dog had european lineage, i’d make a comment about being in her odin era.

a meme that i came across recently that got me to feel less pain about being (what i consider) slandered by someone.
pandemic relationships were fucking weird and had their costs. not saying i didn’t/don’t have shortcomings but at least i didn’t attempt to invalidate or dismiss their reality.

i am frustrated by the growing prevalence of (undisclosed) llm posts.
they have a distinctive voice and, i think, as someone who’s interacted with them too much, is painfully obvious. but i’m in the minority.
i just block and move on anymore.

i forget what i wanted to say here recently.
time is fucking weird.
i still miss the bay area.
i am still a disaster in possibly more ways than before.
but i think it’s been insightful.
i am a fucking delicate flower. and i am a lot. and i love it.
and, fwiw, i’m sorry for the inconvenience.

it still blows my mind that social media advertisers don’t insist on allowing 2x speed for video ads. like “i would have watched that ad but it was far too slow” is almost always my reaction to them.
that it could be used to track engagement?

this morning has very much been an almost-put-my-plate-in-the-refrigerator and almost-put-my-hummus-in-the-sink morning
love me?
i’m referencing a rehabilitating mr. wiggles comic with that "love me?", but i don’t have it handy to share. i’m sorry for making an inside joke publicly. punish me?

i’ve intermittently logged how safe/whole/home i feel with people, places, and groups, on a 0-10 scale… since late 2023.
i put the data for the person i’m an s type to in a spreadsheet and graphed it.
this year has been far more even keel. fascinating.

i love how bad ios design has gotten. never thought i’d see highlighting break when i select something and it causes line wrapping.
the highlight isn’t quite on the first line, definitely not on the second.
clearly the standards for design:
📉📉📉
feels like this is _the_ direction of all tech

long term orgasm denial is a hot feedback loop until you really really want to get off then it’s just sexy despair?

i forgot how good it felt to handwash dishes. although i definitely, absentmindedly, said "i need to get fisted" around people i should not say that around. no one heard me though. thankfully.
