rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 11/04/2026...It may have helped that as I finally connected, Aya peeked over my shoulder, and when I said "say hi, Aya," she said "Hi, Aya!" (Unironically.) 110
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Everything I had been reading about the DAS changes had worked me up and convinced me that this was going to be a nightmare, and I came ready with a stack of paper (original diagnosis, reevaluations, current IEP, etc.). Nope, just as straightforward as last time. 110
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Just got off the chat where Aya was approved for the DAS pass in about 5 minutes flat (after 10 minutes of getting video chat to work). 110
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Evangelicals in particular seem to _love_ putting Jesus into or onto everything they can, regardless of whether or not it is something that Jesus would willingly associate with. 110
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I'd probably have to say it too, as someone raised almost entirely disconnected from Christianity aside from living in modern US culture, so I don't even have any religious programming to move past for it. And yet, I also find it utterly unsurprising. 110
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Well, yes, but what does this have to do with Super Mario Galaxy spoilers? 000
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 20/03/2026This has really complicated my efforts to teach my 5 year old daughter to stand back and let people off of the elevator first, but I persist in my efforts. 000
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 20/03/2026And I don’t think that I’ll ever remember that other people exist and use elevators well enough to actually let them off before trying to go in. At least, not more than half the time. 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Last night I forgot about the existence of the kitchen trash can (in its usual spot and I had just used it seconds before) and turned around too fast and half fell over it. 111
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Honestly, that footnote might be even funnier than the jewelry part. 001

rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I _am_ aware that the correct steps to get to it on the first try is probably something I can look up, fwiw. I’m too full of spite at this point to give them the satisfaction. If they can’t make it obvious, or even not obvious but at least labeled, I’m not prepared to entertain it anytime soon. 110
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026That would explain a lot, and also congratulations to them for succeeding so well. 010
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Whomever designed this new UI, I want you to know, from the depths of my heart, that I want you to burn in hell. For forever, or until someone accidentally stumbles across the correct elaborate sequence of steps to unlock your cell, whichever comes first. 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026And then finally. FINALLY. The new call/message icon turns off, and l can rest easy. Until a new spam call from the same number comes in two hours later, of course. 200
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026But the voicemail doesn’t appear there when you initially click into it! No, first I have to click back out, then do some arcane combination of other clicks that I’ve yet to discern, before ending back in the same spot with a visible spam message. 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026If that was all it involved, I’d find it annoying (because every time I accidentally hit the ‘call back’ side instead of the ‘go into’ side), but not ANNOYING, you know? 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026There is a method to eventually get to said spam voicemail. On the spam call itself on the call list, if you go into into it, there’s a tiny Voicemail tab, where you’ll finally find the transcription. 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026So there icon is there, stubbornly insisting that I have new calls/messages, and since I can’t find it, I can’t make that icon go away! 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026You hide them so that they’re not on the voicemail screen. You know where they _do_ appear? On the icon, as the count of new calls. 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026_Through gritted teeth_ The reason why. Is because you insist on hiding spam calls and voicemails from me. And we all get a lot of those these days. 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026The reason why is FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU 100
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026And no, I’m not referring to the new Unified view, which took me 10 seconds to figure out how to switch on and off, and quite like anyway. 110
rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Apple, your new iPhone phone app design is awful and I hate it and now I hate you, so much that this single thing might drive me to switch to an android.

rishabree.bsky.social @rishabree.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Uhhh. I don't think I'll be pursuing this, I don't think...? It's giving me a strange, weirdly not entirely positive, feeling to discover that I have this as a theoretical option, though?
