The bus driver at the station got off the bus and said he’s done for the day and left, and he never pulled out the wheelchair ramp so I could get on the bus. Everyone went inside, and it felt pretty terrible because everyone who could walk on the bus got on but I was stuck outside.

This lady said we are not leaving you outside its too hot, and asked a man to lift my wheelchair on the bus. Another man helped, and they both lifted me on the bus into the AC. Very kind, thoughtful people in Texas.

My broken toe hurts a lot with the slightest touch even in the shoe brace. I can’t walk around my apartment much because of the pain. Ironically, I can still leave my apartment and go places because of the power chair, I can just barely get around my apartment. I still have crutches from December when I broke my foot.

I had a feeling randomly that was like “go check the mail.” I thought there is probably nothing there and it’s probably just wishful thinking that there is a restitution check. It said “just go check the mail.” So I took my rollator walker and walked to the mailbox to burn off energy, and there in my mailbox was a restitution check that covers my first rent payment. Saved from potential homelessness yet again. Things always work out to protect me and to protect my business.

Oddly, those bot instance join requests I got 5 to 8 times a day every day for over a month, it completely stopped. The botnet competitor runs out of money, and at that same time, all the bot join requests go away. I don’t think they know about this server. It’s not indexed. Random people harass Mastodon servers with join requests all the time. Could have been someone who just gave up because I never accepted any of their bots after over a month.

I stupidly added a checkout option thinking it would be necessary cookies only, but it wasn’t. It added a marketing harvesting tracker that would have leaked to the competitor, so I broke my checkout so no one could order until I got rid of it. It involved a lot of digging into web host settings to erase it, but my checkout and cart is back to being tracker free as confirmed by Brave mobile browser.

Some people get to checkout and bail without entering any info in, so i added this in bold right under the entering the card section:

“Many think PayPal, AfterPay, Klarna, and “Buy Now, Pay Later” services are privacy-first at checkout, but they are actually designed to harvest what you order and sell your personal information to advertisers.”

Then underneath that more about my commitment to no data sharing.

All my SEO efforts trying to expand my authority to not just the chewelry collection and 3 chewelry articles, but put all that authority into 2 specific fidget toys collections. I made my Adults & Teens Fidgets & Stim Toys collection and my Best Fidgets for Adults collection my primary focus. The best fidgets for adults has all of my luxury fidgets in it, plus fidget spinners, fidget jewelry. The adults & teens one has the $7.95 to $22.95 price range. All of my collection traffic is now going to those 3 collections specifically.

On my new anonymized cookie-less plugin I can see how long people spend on specific pages, so I can see how long someone read an article, or how long they spent scrolling past all products in a collection maybe looking at the quick view on the collection page. I can see my film art photography is catching people’s attention and focus for a very long time.

My host hit me with a giant surprise bill I never agreed to pay, which my bank rejected, and I cannot reduce my plan’s cost because Cloudflare has forbidden their other hosting IP. No one there seems to understand this, so I cannot lower my bill at all from what would have guaranteed my homelessness. I found a different hosting company that costs hundreds of dollars less than what the host tried to charge me for one month of hosting for a dedicated server.

I can maintain my instant load times on my throttled LTE, maintain fast speeds for all the search crawlers that practically live on my site 24/7, and make sure the competitors bots are still like nothing on the server load. All for an amount that won’t put financial stress on me.

I found this old photo from June 2021.

This cat was a stray at my apartment complex. He went door to door meowing at everyone’s door to get someone to adopt him. He was tired of living outside and decided he was going to get adopted that day. I got on a cat rescue Facebook group, and found a rescue to pick him up. He instantly trusted the man with the cat carrier because he understood he was going to be adopted. Got adopted very quickly and moved into a $2M home.

I’ve had a very dark life. I’ve spent an entire lifetime being a victim of the most evil people on planet earth. Anyone who has read my autobiography knows this. This botnet operator trying to destroy me isn’t nearly as bad as my own mother trying over and over again to end my life, but like I had a guardian angel watching me I survived. I’ve survived life support, 22 broken bones, and all the other complications from the car accident. I survived being kidnapped. I survived a horrible roommate situation with a monster. Many other things.

I’ve already seen the darkest things and been a victim of true evil many times. This situation is just another one of those times.

I’ve escaped death 9 times. By a heavenly miracle I am still alive.

This is why my spirit cannot be broken. This is why they are fighting a battle they are guaranteed to lose. No one can break someone who has been broken so much they are now unbreakable.

I did a bunch of vacuuming and declutterring, and now I’m remembering I have tremors and bone injuries. Since things have been awfully slow with my store, all my muscles wasted away. My leg tremors kicked in as a result and now I cannot safely stand. My floor needed to be cleaned though. I found a bunch of cat toys, so Dinah is happy.

I downloaded Prime Video on my iPad, and Amazon asked permission to scan my network and find every single device on my internet. Um no. I didn’t realize smart TVs do the same thing… so mine will never connect to the internet again. I unplugged those smart home voice assistant devices a few months ago. I want nothing smart.

I finally got all the product reviews in the right way. Just laser focused for a few hours until I got all 310 published so far, and there's maybe about 200 more left to add. Mostly just reviews from 2023 left. Also want to finish adding store reviews to the reviews page.

There are star ratings on every product now.

On the Shopify store, I had payment icons with visa, mastercard, etc. I don't want to risk the WooCommerce plugins adding trackers. So I put a simple text underneath the add to cart button, "Checkout tracker-free with Stripe, Link, and Apple Pay."

Trying to find every improvement I can make to help sales.

Starvation was really holding me back, and so was eating all that processed food.

My idea machine brain is in maximum idea generation mode because it's fueled with actual healthy food.

To lean into the specialty curation brand I've built for The Autistic Innovator, I made my filters more in-depth to create a Specialty Curated Experience. Added more sensory stims filters, among other things.

Since I have no ability to lie, I created "Originals/Curated" filters for "The Autistic Innovator Originals" and "Specialty Curated". Basically, filters to say I created this and I did not create this.

Today it’s like I’m possessed by the hyperactive part of my ADHD. Having a hard time sitting still. The good thing is, I’m able to channel this rush of energy into tackling the giant mess of laundry in my closet. Wash a load then actually put it away instead of leaving it in the basket in the closet.

The crazy princess self-destruction has begun. Her obsession with destroying me has started draining all her money. Temu and Etsy are taking over the ads. Items advertised went from mostly $14.49 to now the most expensive ones in the store. No scraper bots today, only bots trying to place fraud orders and never making it to the checkout page. Since I’m a black hole, there is no customer list to target with ads, and no data to create look-a-like audiences. It shows the only reason her ads were possibly successful is because it was entirely based on a steady long term harvesting me stream. Without harvesting me the business suffers. Karma has arrived.

Now that in Texas SNAP can’t be used to buy soda and sugary drinks, the 12 pack brand name soda prices dropped from $9 to $5. Energy drink prices also dropped. Candy prices and fruit snacks have all dropped too now that no one can use SNAP to buy candy. I don’t know if chips were included in that SNAP law, but those also dropped. Bags of Lays chips went from $6.46 to $2.50. Family size boxes of brand name cereal went from $7.49 to $4.44.

I’m looking at Walmart’s rollbacks list and 98% is stuff people can no longer buy with SNAP in Texas. Walmart was massively scamming Texas taxpayers with inflated prices paid for with Texas state money.

@cwicseolfor Walmart gets their employees on SNAP, which they benefit from when their employees spend it at Walmart. In Texas, the main beneficiaries of SNAP are single moms.

Frito Lay and the other soda and snack companies are headquartered in Texas. Our Texas SNAP was subsidizing their profits. Using the poor and single moms money from the government in Texas to make their corporations richer. In 2001 a bottle of soda was 75¢, now it’s $2.25.

I don’t enjoy soda, but I drink a lot of it purely for cheap liquid calories.

This makes me very happy. I ran a PageSpeed Insights test on my Shop page. That “No Data” means I have successfully kept Google completely out of my website. Data harvesting Google and data harvesting competitors are getting absolutely nothing.

And with no email list to buy, and no payment processor tracking scripts on my checkout page, no one can get anything.

What’s interesting is the Google slandering me in search with one 2024 Reddit post calling me “dropshipped garbage” has suddenly stopped now that I’m running Reddit ads. I’m sure they also know I’m right that their favorite crazy spoiled princess cannot run ads on Reddit, because there are so many posts about how dangerous their products are. I’ve found the social media loophole, and the one place where the princess cannot buy their authority. It’s also the social media site that will value my genuine human connection and privacy-first anti-tracking values.
