always feeling like i'm far too much of a fucking freak for "normal" people but not enough of a freak to belong anywhere else

i don't really want to keep up with watching streams anymore. video games are extremely a "sometimes" thing for me and always have been. unfortunately these two traits isolate me from nearly every social group i've been in. so i'm just sighing and going "well." and doing my own thing.

been feeling very isolated lately. i don't feel like i am part of a "community" or "group" these days. i drift around between groups of people, but i don't feel like i really belong anywhere. this isn't a new feeling for me; honestly, it's a fairly familiar one.

studying a language with masculine/feminine distinctions for the first time is fucking me up man. i am sure i will get the hang of it eventually, but this is a new concept for me to consider

everyone is well within their right to bully me and throw me into a locker for crawling back to macos & friends. i deserve it. but if you ever see me using modern windows, that is a cry for help and something has gone terribly wrong

made the switch to iOS yesterday with a hand-me-down iphone. so far it’s been fine. it’s my first time using one lmao. using android with only a mac and linux desktop was getting… Annoying. KDE connect didn’t work as well as i would have liked on linux and well, mac, lol, lmao,

i did one of these. feels a little strange to when i'm not very interested in games right now, but—uh, hold on a second. did all of these really come out between 1997-2005? dude that doesn't even span a decade. cringe my9games.net/en/

my 9 games: castlevania symphony of the night, animal crossing, mario artist paint studio, zelda ocarina of time, pokemon emerald, phoenix wright: ace attorney, the sims 2, katamari damacy and kirby air ride

this idea went on the backburner ever since my life blew up, but every now and then i think about making zines about bras: misconceptions, size charts and measurements, caring for your clothes, etc. however talking about bras is a pretty underrated way to make people online very mad so i'm not sure

poppy update: she loves to climb my dresser. since i cleaned out my clothes, the drawers are easier for her to open and slip into. & yes she will fall down to the bottommost drawer and make pathetic muffled meows until i rescue her.

my favorite kind of cat pattern/color has always been calico cats, forever and ever. however my affection for black cats has skyrocketed over the past few years. black cat stocks are up. the age of black cats is in demand

god. trying to rebuild my confidence has been brutal. genuinely, i'm giving it my all to keep good routines and habits going. gotta take care of my body and my mind and my living space. otherwise i could slip into a deep depressive state if i'm not careful. a better future has to be possible

living with a little fluffy kitty is so amazing. lifechanging. somehow went 30 years of my life without this. soft little beast that will rumble with joy when petted

i don't use the "drafts" feature very often so i clicked on the button to see what was there

three drafted posts. "here i come sanfrandisc--" "bisexual tulip moments" and "what if majora's mask had stop-n-swop technology"

also, to be clear: i do not take suggestions for labels/identities. i know it is in good faith, but i know my options, so to speak. it is not for a lack of knowing the words to use for myself, but how to truly accept myself for the way i am

tulip 🌷🐱 @platinumtulip.net · 23/09/2026

it's bisexual visibility day. to get personal: i knew i was queer from a very young age. i tried on all sorts of labels over the years, squeezed myself into identities that never fit right. but i always hesitated to call myself bi, until fairly recently.

tulip 🌷🐱 @platinumtulip.net · 23/09/2026

i really want to talk about something for bisexual visibility day today, but i am honestly really afraid of being misinterpreted or being viewed in bad faith

i found an unused sketchbook that i was looking for... i was going to repurpose it for note-taking, but it's made out of really nice cotton watercolor paper. i am not doing that. genuinely, there will be a day where i want to splash around with watercolors and inks again, and i will want it for that

Hey I think it should be said with the next round of "Discord age verification" scares and panic coming around Do NOT drop everything and run to a website you heard about 30 min ago and had not looked into at all The amount of vibe coded slop preying upon people's worry is alarming

ever since i got my hair cut, my curls have come back to life and they're so cute... i really shoulda done this *before* my trip to california and not afterwards so i could've had a higher cuteness stat. oh well. maybe i should suck it up and get my hair trimmed more often

PLOT TWIST: i installed MX Linux instead of any of the other options i have talked about recently. so far, so good. i appreciate all of the built in config tools. some people may call it "unnecessary" but i call it "saving me a lot of time and headaches"!!!!

busy day for tulip. went to the farmers market this morning, did some cleaning, struggled with linux problems for a while. then when i got sick of that, i put together my new coffee station. it's a little bar cart that has my electric kettle and a coffee grinder all set up! hurray!

weh... i don't like how many keyboard layouts squish the arrow keys into their layouts... i'd really like a low profile mech keyboard that gives the arrow keys some room (like an 80% layout or something) but that's been weirdly hard to find

well, my kubuntu install on my desktop is still ridiculously unstable for reasons that i don't care to debug, because i wanted to try a different distro anyway. i flashed Pop!_OS to a usb drive last night and i might try that, see how COSMIC is coming along. or try Nobara Linux

i really wish i had more freedom to explore sexuality on my own terms. no matter what i do, it's not good enough or it's too much or too little or i'm too boring or too much of a freak or whatever else. normally i'd just shrug my shoulders and follow my heart, but my brain is fried from trauma
