My best friend, Penny, doesn’t usually let me take photos of her. She literally spazzes when I point my phone at her. So, here are some rare glimpses of her weirdness right now! #DogsOfMastodon #dog

This image shows a tan and white dog resting on a red and white crocheted blanket. The dog has distinct markings and bright blue eyes. It looks directly at the camera with a calm expression, its floppy ears slightly relaxed. Sunlight creates a bright highlight on the left side of the dog’s face and body, while the right side falls into soft shadow.

This photo shows a tan and white dog with bright blue eyes. The dog is resting on a red and white crocheted blanket, looking off to the left with its mouth slightly open and tongue visible. Sunlight is casting a bright highlight across the left side of its face, while the right side is softly shadowed. In the background, there are several books standing upright on a shelf, slightly out of focus.

All these #TapestryApp posts are making me quite envious…

I’ve been collecting pins and buttons for a long time and never really have done much with them, decided to start adding them to a couple different places depending on how much I like them. Then I saw @Iconfactory’s sale on their #tapestry pins and had to get them!

Tho image features two enamel pins displayed on a backing card labeled
"Iconfactory Tapestry." One pin is black with colorful, curved lines, and the other is red with a silver, factory-like design.

This image displays a black backpack adorned with various buttons and pins.
Notable ones include a large red button that says "ADIOS BITCHACHOS," a peace dove button, a button with an American flag design, and a plush green character keychain hanging from a strap (Bob in a pickle costume).

Every time I come across this in my photo library I have to post it. #RaptureHatch

A dumb and simply black and white image of two houses side-by-side one of them has a hatch in the top so when the rapture happens, the godly person will float out. Where is the other house does not have a hatch so when the rapture happens, they’ll be stuck against the ceiling, I guess for all of eternity.

I do so enjoy my conversations with the kid.

A text conversation with the kid. Text follows:

Kid: im laughing right now

Me: There's an internet shorthand for that. It's "lol"

Kid: i know but our texts are usually formal (kind of).

Me: Dear child,
I find the supposition that our missives are usually formal in nature to be a slight bit exaggerated. I, myself, usually speak in the parlance of our times, of course. Obviously the occasional diminutive of "laugh out loud" would be acceptable. Or perhaps even the proto-version...
"Haha!" would even be appropriate in our palavers.

Yours truly,
Jon

P.S. Hope your summer is a smash!

Kid: Deer Jon
yo yo man i didnt understand shit you just said
urs truly, j

Me: lol

A classic one that I have no idea where it came from.

An Ethernet cable that is coiled like a snake and it says under it “dont throttle me” with a yellow background. Ala “dont tread on me”

@Iconfactory yup, it’s working just fine! Though I thought it odd when a post from y’all got muffled. 😉

Yeah, this seems about right.

Logging my moods and emotions with Apple’s HealthKit can sometimes be a bit obvious. Yes, of course my moods have been fairly negative, I have major depressive disorder (amongst other things).

A notification from Apple Health that reads “Recently, you have consistently been logging unpleasant daily moods.
There are several things you can do to support your mental health.”

Oh man, drinks on me folks! I actually don’t remember what the hell this was about. I haven’t actually used Facebook in over a decade.

I’ve been wanting a way to disable that camera swipe gesture on #iOS since the gesture was introduced. #iOS261

Toggle switch for "Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera" with instructions to swipe left on the lock screen to access the camera.

I went kayaking for the first time today. It was really fun! Considering I’m a person that gets motion sick just standing in a lake, it didn’t bother me at all really! It was a beautiful morning for it as well.

Oh damn, I somehow missed the news that Apple released updates to allow my Apple Watch Ultra 2 to actually use the blood oxygen sensor! I am quite curious how they managed that.

A screenshot of a software update for iOS 18.6.1 that reads: “This update provides a new Blood Oxygen experience for users in the United States with Apple Watch Series 9 and Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Measurements are calculated on iPhone and viewed in the Health app.

I don’t know who made this originally, but I just love it so much! Came across it on my desktop during a cleanup session and wanted to share. #Worf #SlayerOfGowron

I just discovered the “shaking smilie” emoji and it’s my favorite. It’s my new spirit emoji.

A blurry yellow smilie emoji that is shaking and so much it has motion blur.

I never heard any “talk” about these when I was growing up… in fact I’ve never heard of pickled okra ever before.

The new Vitals feature in the #iOS18 #Health app is pretty neat. No new data really, but a straightforward way to visual data. When I got #Covid a couple weeks ago I felt awful and there was no doubt that I was sick, but interestingly the day before I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Neil Fallon of the band of earth rockers known as Clutch has long been one of my favorite lyricists and back when this came out around the 2016 US Presidential Election this particular chunk of lyrics just really spoke to me. #VoteForNeil
