I'm tired of respecting Girl's turtle barrier. I will go where I want! I will not get stopped!

Reminder We still have room for more vendors. If you are a member of the queer or trans community and you have products or services to offer, you really should be here.

Our backyard fence has been sealed. The backyard smells like polyurethane. So we've all been inside. It's the ladies day to roam around the living room. I really wish I could join them but girl hates turtles. Specifically me. She hates me.

Doesn't jumping on the floor sound like more fun than reading?

Girl wants to know if we can sit nicely and read. I think not.

Little Girl was given a warm kitchen towel from the dryer two days ago. It is the best thing that has ever happened to her! If she is removed she will go back under it, she walks around wearing it, if another turtle (Big Girl) tries to get in she drags the towel away.

When girl says you are moving into her scooping zone, you need to believe her. Otherwise you get scooped.

Nap time!

Found something tasty in the garden. Girl was too far away to see what and the photo is unclear.

Harley decided to be an actual rock.

Ready to go for my walk, but I need Girl to open the gate for me.

This has been a great day! The highlight is that I got to watch the garbage truck back into our parking lot and pick up the trash!!!! And there were men running wearing hi-vis!! (If you expand the picture you can see the wheels of the garbage truck!!!!)

Girl wants to know what I'm doing. Yet again. Why does she not understand the most basic things? (Also some of you may see Victor, but it's not.)

Minor setback.

I am almost out of my box!!!!!!!

Girl tried to schedule her covid vaccine and her insurance company/hmo said hey fuck no. There's no authorization for you to have a vaccine.

Girl clearly had lady turtles today that she was hiding from me. I let her know exactly what I thought about that! I did not end up with a date, but I did end up with a tea bag...

Got to play in the rain!!

It's even better when you're in the corner! (The look on my face is because girl woke me up and I'm having to glare at her.)

Hanging out

Spent the morning looking at an excellent wall!

A yellow jacket murdered the butterfly in front of girls eyes as it emerged. She tried to chase off the yellow jacket but it stung the butterfly and it fell to the ground and tore its wings off.

Think friend will be here very soon!

Will have a friend soon!

Found a good spot!

I decided to be very tall. Girl was confused and impressed. She wanted to know what I was doing. I was being tall!!! Why does she not understand the simplest things?

McKinley is back. My very favorite box turtle. 🐢🐢🐢

We're alive. Just barely. I'm trying to get back to exercising... The benefit is girl cannot see me when I'm under the machine! Con is that I also have to be with a dirty sock. It smells good though. Box turtles are nature's garbage men.

If you need more tortoise content, tou should follow this account.

This is a slime mold. It's actually really big like bigger than the girl's hand.

Hey tonight is going to be another "girl doesn't have the energy to alt text photos" night. If anybody is willing and does, we are eternally grateful! We are alive. Hanging in there! I hope everything is going well for all my friends here.

I love you all! We are drowning here. I appreciate everyone who's asked about us. And I will try to reply when I have a chance. For now you are going to get a picture without any alt text. If somebody has spoons please add it. This is something I've always done but I just don't have the energy.

Girl hasn't fixed her desk yet. It has been over 2 years since I told her this shelf needed to be raised so I could fit under it. She is both lazy and a turtle hater.

Delicious breakfast of tofu! I ate so much that I think I need to take a nap.

Got scooped, but found a plate of silken tofu waiting for me inside!!!

Tried to hide from the girl but she found me!

As promised, my tutorial on how to climb a step! You really need to use your arms and pull yourself up!

Caught and ate a bug today. Girl said I am a MIGHTY Hunter! She also says I might want to wipe my mouth...

Got a new hide!! It's like a tea bag but different. I think I really like it!!!

Competition for the good corner is fierce!!

Anybody in the US use pillpack, or a similar service? This is a bundle of your prescription medicines into little envelopes labeled by day/time. Girl's parents are both getting very confused about their medications. So something like this would be very helpful. But pillpack has bad reviews.

Sat with the Girl this morning...she put me under the reading pillow, which is always cozy!!

Went for a long walk. Saw a garage truck!!!

Girl is letting me roam in the patio while she drinks her tea!! I found a great place to dock!!

Girl has been unemployed for a long while. And maybe she's now unemployable... Because she doesn't understand workplace norms? Is somebody willing to mentor the girl on how officing works? (And please click on the photo to read the actual copy.)

No, I do not want to text with an AI. Thank you for installing this and turning it on as a default.

Hey when we get video here I'm going to post my video on how to climb a step! I'm not like a fitness guru or anything. But I did spend several years training for this, and obviously I'm very proud of the accomplishment. Until then you should probably work on bicep curls and maybe lat pull downs.
