Had another "religious person" smile and discriminate against me yesterday. Naturally they made sure that I understood it's only because I chose to sell kinky things. You know, they're good people and wouldn't discriminate against just ANYONE. *sighs* This BS has been holding me back for decades.

Woke up this morning to several international orders. Wondered if the dollar was weak…

Sitting in Tacoma waiting for a tow. 😑

As I've suspected for a while now my ecommerce platform Shopify has added AI. They plan to increase its presence next year as well, not shocking but disappointing.

Now I need to find a new platform. I miss the days when I could just code up an html website myself and host it on a box in a closet.

Bumped into this while searching the internet for stainless steel rings in ANY shape other than an o or heart. (failing at that) But this guy is making beautiful suspension rings.

The Trump-Epstein statue is back on the National Mall, days after its abrupt removal The statue honors Trump's "long-lasting bond" with Epstein, which the president denies. The National Park Service took down the statue after one day last week, saying it didn't comply with its permit.

This makes me so happy

I've got a momma and 3 adorable babies living in my tree out back right now and it's soooo dang cute. They've just learned how to come down from the nest and return.

Guess it's finally time to get custom-made
boxes. Suggestions on a place that doesn't fund evil or treat small businesses poorly?

So I finally got around to signing up for UPS's "discounted rates" for my business based on volume... blah blah. ( Why now? They stopped giving me shipping boxes because they don't see my shipping habits. ) Well, I hooked the account to the back end of shopify and bam! $20 more for a mini package...

By design… 😑

While my man was off getting my superglue, I discovered that there was a fire at the place I use for my business mail. I suspect others in our community had that experience today. RIP Post Options.

I am going to need some evidence that my life isn't a dark comedy. Similar to The Truman Show but...

I got my finger looked at, then I superglued it. They don't take my shitty insurance. Doc said my tendons are fine, so I thanked him and left. My man bought me a pack of 10 of the cutest little superglue bottles. The gel kind was a lot less ouchy, too! (Yes, this is a standard move of mine...)

But not as much as what happened next.

Today I picked up the stuff I won at auction. Before my man was finished loading the truck, I cut my finger to the bone with the mystery tool.

Turns out it's a plunge knife.

This week...

Something I've wanted that costs 100k+ REFURBISHED was on auction. High bid was $30. Had to let it go because:

1. The company that makes that particular CAD fabric cutting table is too stupid or snobby to sell software for their older machines.
2. it takes too much power.

It hurt.

So, anyone know how to deal with a problem responding to yahoo emails? For some reason I’m getting a lot of folks using yahoo but I’m not allowed to reply because I use gmail and reply with the website email through that maybe?

*sighs*

Well you called me mr then used my first name and asked to dm. Sounds like a bot.

Ah… say you are a bot without saying you are a bot.

I’m more worried that I heard a radio commercial today that I genuinely thought was satire. It was a get out message from our government to “those who are in the country illegally.” This is farther than I thought we could fall.

I recommend Lyft because they’re more female positive and you can report this type of behavior and that will cause the driver to learn or gtfo

I’m concerned that he might fall out of a window

Crossing my fingers he gets picked up by Netflix

I’ve hated them for years. Happily boycotting already.

I’m finally getting work done in my new workshop. Though both of my straightstitch machines are messed up. Crossing my fingers that the mechanic who is on the way is good.

Congratulations on being almost civil for two whole replies.

It is challenging for us dealing with all the sociopaths.

Imagine being this guy saying that kind of bs on this particular page. Hilarious and sad simultaneously.

Now, why do you think I wouldn't want another merchant to see my data? Because I'd be embarrassed? I'll give you a minute... It's so they can't USE it dumbass. Also so my customers can feel secure about where their data goes or doesn't go. But DAMN IT it, do I need to move away from Shopify now?
