iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Right? Those moments are an invitation to connect with others who can help, to learn new skills, to (in some cases) hire someone to do that labor! Or problem solve, find ways to creatively work around that constraint. *sighs*

Alright, imma need a moratorium on horrors for the day. It feels like the walls are closing in. *waves other things in front of face to distract self, because overwhelm is not productive*

This is some deep, deep disappointment from me! He has no excuse--so. many. artists!!!! would love to work with him that he could probably release something with a choose your favorite cover edition. He really should know better--the for profit theft algorithm steals from artists of all mediums.

The @texastribune.org is investigating this ICE shooting, along with that of Ruben Martinez last year in South Padre Island. We are seeking any cell phone footage of either events and you can share anonymously to me at 832-729-3421 or on Signal or WhatsApp.

It's heartbreaking. This deserves every bit as much attention as Good & Pretti. We don't have anyone in statewide office who will demand accountability or justice--they're all fascist bigots who take pleasure in the fact that ICE/CBP uses unmarked vehicles to terrorize people, then murders them...💔

bluesky is being fucky but for those too lazy to click the link here is the meat of it: Salgado is driving, unmarked ICE vehicle follows, swerves, and tries to cut him off, and Salgado drives away. No indication that it's an ICE vehicle. Why would he pull over?

🤣 that's really taking it in a different direction!

So pretty!! Also, the automatic captions are cracking me up, translating Pandora as "when do I die?" & nautical nuns as "untied arms"

I am also curious to confirm that! Because ✨️aurora✨️

Poor little guy! I hope he can settle in soon.

This is when you know your story is rock-solid -- when you ask the person for comment, they stall for days or weeks, and then they finally answer with nonresponsive bullshit like this ⤵️

ProPublica and the Tribune reached out to Paxton's campaign on June 3, 15 and 25, asking why he remained registered to vote in Collin County when he appeared to no longer live there and about his connection to the Denton County property. A reporter also left a voicemail on his personal cellphone on June 25. The news organizations sent his government office and campaign staff an email on Monday with a detailed list of questions, including a request for Paxton's response to election lawyers' belief that he may be violating the law. Paxton and his office did not reply until Monday's email. Campaign spokesperson Madison Cercy did not answer the questions from the news organizations. Instead, she issued a statement saying that the attorney general has been "a national leader on election integrity, with a long record of defending Texas elections." Cercy said that "attempting to insinuate otherwise and tear him down with a baseless, lie-filled tabloid story is not real reporting." Asked twice to provide specifics about what they believed was inaccurate, the campaign did not respond.

Mosaic had a pretty good evening curled up with my feet. She didn't sneeze or sound like she has any congestion, so those are good signs! She also had an adorable case of the zoomies where she went hopping around the living room. Now, she's up for the night & Stella is doing pre-bedtime crimes 🙄

That's so rough! I hope treats or something work to bribe her!! I wish they could understand that we're trying to help them!

This is the perfect opportunity for The Pool

We love to see it! (or I do, anyway)

I had to go check, too, because I thought it'd been played at least once, just not a lot

Love to see this one pop up! Nice!

💓 Thanks. We're definitely going to be keeping a close eye on her the next few days!

Okay here's my Disability Pride Month Story Recommendation Thread! I'll update it across the month with books and short stories that I love. (It won't be daily because I am quite disabled and life is about to avalanche on me.) So! Here are things that ruled and that you should read.

thanks! I'm hopeful because she's sneezing less, so 🤞 today she continues to improve.

she's sneezing less, so I'm hopeful. It's hard to tell, sometimes, right? I feel like so many cats have herpes --5 out of the 8 cats I've had in my life have come to me with it, including both of our current girls. But the l-lysine really seems to help! You take such good care of your garden cats!

Also, I hope Malley is recovering from the stress of fireworks & the recent move &, ya know, everything that poor little guy has been through. He deserves some peace!

Oof, I hope it's at least over now. The whole random middle of the night fireworks thing for a week (or 2!!) sucks. I think people used the whole 250 thing as an excuse to be extra obnoxious! I'm sorry it cost you sleep, but glad your house/yard didn't ignite...*hugs*

omg, you'd think people would think about all the wildfires in WA before doing all that!! you know, people judge people for starting fires as part of ridiculous gender reveal parties for their babies, but somehow July4th/NYE fireworks don't get the same scrutiny... Don't blame you for being upset!

Also, really hope the virus isn't FIP. There are antivirals for FIP now, at least, but if Socks isn't up for a lot of handling, that'd be difficult. L-lysine helps with some viruses--we've used Pet Honesty treats or Now powdered versions from Chewy or Viralys from the vet for years for our guys.

I am so relieved you got Socks to the vet & got meds for her!! Poor, sweet kitty! I hope she starts feeling better asap, & wish you all the spoons for the cleaning to rid their environment of the coccidia parasite!

this × 80,000! I don't understand why so many people struggle with this! it isn't even them not being able to get any job--it's just specific jobs where they would have so much power over the general public, victims in general, & their victims in particular.

thanks. we're giving her lysine. she's doing a bit better this afternoon/evening, so we're going to see how she is tomorrow. 🤞

This was inevitable. Dude was a parade of red flags. You could see them from orbit. The incredibly problematic posting history & tattoo should've nipped this in the bud, but when it didn't, the accounts of blatantly abusive behavior should have made it clear this was coming.

who is this even for? all I can think is that it's for 1. directors/producers without the people skills to manage actors or appreciation for why humans like art (it's not just to fill time, but to connect with others) 2. creeps who can't handle women with opinions or needs of their own.

That necklace is sooo good! (So are the cursed Becky heads, but that's a given)

It would look beautiful on her! I love Chloe, & I don't even know her! Sighthounds deserve to be bejeweled, in general! My forever pup was a whippet (memorialized in the tattoo on the left--the only pic that I have of her on this phone is my tattoo artist's portrait of her based on a photograph!)

layout of 3 tattoo pics from my tattoo artist on Instagram--the left is a blue fawn & white whippet portrait with purple gladiolas, jasmine, & fancy orange begonias. top right is a white art noveau horse, mane adorned with flowers, wearing a turquoise & silver bridle. bottom left is another memorial tattoo of a black & orange tortie cat whose fur fades into a galaxy, holding a seafoam green bunny toy she used to steal. also decorating the kitty is a teal collar with heart name tag & fancy orange begonias.

Hard same! They're too pretty!

Look at it, just taunting us! It's so freaking good--someone with teeny fingers has to be out there for this! It's like the cousin of the one I claimed recently! 🚫

😆 Taking group shots is so hard, though--some of them were blinking, moving, making faces!
