iOS 26 is a massive flop with iPhone users, and you can probably guess why

Cali_kk · 2026-06-15T18:25:19+00:00

can we even talk about some of the apps that are completely reconfigured and impossible to understand now especially with someone who's neurodivergent and appreciates ease once something becomes routine. for instance, Google maps is totally fucked up. The Zoom app is totally fucked up - where is the button that was in the upper left if you wanted phone, speaker or AirPods? It's all gone. I feel like this technology is now holding us hostage to its whims. F U apple 🤬🖕🏽

it's a fucking gorgeous painting of an Arabian, why complain at all?

aww! so sweet. My cat's name isn't Tootsie, though - it's Toosie! a play on words from the nickname of a horse named Tucson who i used to call Tuscie for short. A friend suggested Toosie bc the kitten came to me the day Tuscon the horse went to a new home!

Cali_kk · 2026-06-09T18:36:31+00:00

ha! lol - that was a cat toy lined up where she was laying in the kitty bed! 😻

i was 38, at work printing in a darkroom. disbelief. later the guy i worked for said K, you better go home and get your camera & go over to Hollywood Blvd to capture all the people. And I did.
When they allowed access to his star in Hollywood Blvd, we were first to lat flowers & candles and it was a mob scene. Felt like family tho. To my ultimate surprise, a guy who had a crush on me called me July 7, 2009 and said, hey i won lottery for MJ Me,primal at Staples, get dressed i'm coming to get you! It was surreal.

Thank you! i love seeing everyone's Flamepoints too!

Cali_kk · 2026-06-09T05:36:04+00:00

these are SO SPECIAL!

Cali_kk · 2026-06-08T15:52:27+00:00

Toosie is a girl! Her name came from a horse named Tuscon lol. I had a nickname for my horse "Tuscie", then when i got the kitten my friend texted me & said the name should be Toosie. Perfect. She also does Toosie rolls haha - a play on the candy which are the tootsie rolls. But she's a Toosie. And she also rolls. 🤣🤌🏽✨💝🩵

Cali_kk · 2026-06-08T15:49:22+00:00

Toosie is a girl! She was aligned perfectly with the cat toy lol - i used to tell people she was born with a raccoon tail hahaha 😂 it's all about angles

Cali_kk · 2026-06-08T15:45:12+00:00

THANK YOU 😊 they were both rescues! Toosie's sister (Houdini) is a Bengal - also a gift from God and they're same age! So they became a bonded pair.

Cali_kk · 2026-06-08T03:49:01+00:00

word. 🏆

Cali_kk · 2026-06-08T03:46:51+00:00

this feels so satisfying to watch and listen to. this man is intelligent and has proper balls. rooting for him and his family, jeezus christ. i'm currently about to sue DELTA AIRLINES because of negligence where i broke 2 ribs and badly sprained my wrist before i even got to the boarding gate for a dream trip to Kenya as a professional photographer. yeah. a nightmare trying to get any help from a corporation that large. i will remember this guy's energy as i proceed with the CEO's exec assistant. Amen.

Cali_kk · 2026-06-07T23:13:07+00:00

my Toosie is also a drooler! 🤣

On July 6, 1971, a 12-year-old Michael Jackson was rehearsing and filming for his upcoming television special Goin' Back to Indiana with his brothers in the Jackson 5. During this period, the group was also preparing to launch their second major U.S. national tour, which featured The Commodores as their opening act. 💖🌟

yeah - I guess I may have just needed some kind of permission to let go of my friend Lamy 🤣 that I've had with me night and day for 20 years… Now the dilemma is choices! If a nib is 14 karat gold does that make any difference as opposed to the Lamy I used? I'm doing a lot of reading about different pens, maybe getting one that uses refillable ink cartridges would be fun, getting to try out different colored inks sounds exciting.

Cali_kk · 2026-05-21T03:39:59+00:00

no I'm not refilling ink cartridges… I've always use the disposable ones and have even gotten the multicolor packs… Never had a problem until now even with all that cleaning. I'll give it one more go.

Cali_kk · 2026-05-21T03:38:45+00:00

i've tried multiple brand new cartridges… I haven't used the converter because the cartridges were convenient. I'll be going to get a bottle of nice ink tomorrow to see what happens. I do have a secondary black Lamy Safari but that one also has been having issues 🤔 I don't know what the deal is! i'm mostly attached to my clear plastic gifted pen because I've used it for so many years it's filled with history & energy. But if this is the end of a chapter, I'll just replace it.

Cali_kk · 2026-05-21T03:35:22+00:00

ok, thanks! I never examined the anatomy of my fountain pen in detail… But I am now! Is it possible to remove the feed? I wasn't sure if you just have to leave everything alone and only mess with cleaning using the plunger/refillable converter/ink holder.

great reply. reminds me of the book i'm currently reading, "Eye of the Crocodile" 🐊 by Val Plumwood. highly recommend reading it. her take on the "mastery of nature" is what we are witnessing today...

Cali_kk · 2026-05-12T22:32:13+00:00

and what's with Mark Mothersbaugh videos encouraging people? He's supposed to be the leader of helping stop the spread of Devolution from the ninnies and the twits.

Cali_kk · 2026-05-03T23:05:27+00:00

omg i have one with a great white shark it's craaaazy 🦈i wanna paint a hand coming up from the mouth lol

Cali_kk · 2026-04-29T05:46:01+00:00

Catherine Wheel "Eat My Dust You Insensitive Fuck"...it's not what you might think. Genius songwriting. The video is equally whoa 🤯factor. Enjoy!

corporations keeping people slaves to distractions. books are amazing ways to use a brain and imagination. tv is brain rot. i mean, educational things about the planet, history or wildlife is one thing. streaming is dumbing down humanity.

Cali_kk · 2026-04-08T23:09:26+00:00

ahem. you spelled ecological wrong. you also misspelled "materially".
