lipu ni li pona mute tawa mi! mi pali e moku. mi pali e telo kin. mi sitelen e lipu lili. mi pana e lipu lili tawa jan pona mi.

I really enjoy this book, this zine and these postcards! I like to cook. I like to make (non-alcoholic) drinks. I sometimes write postcards and send them to friends.
The cover of the book Cook Like Your Ancestors by Mariah-Rose Marie. Various drawings of food preparation and meals. A postcard set of Jenn Woodall's artwork. On the front of the box is a person with short pink hair with a spiked leather jacket that has a patch on it saying,"Your move creep!" They're riding a yellow motorcycle. The cover of the zine Sipping Season by Mariah-Rose Marie. A cat, various types of drinks and two hands holding each other are along the border.

ni li sitelen pi sinpin tomo lon ma Miwaki lon ma Wekansen. ni li epiku anu seme?

These are murals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Aren't they neat?
A mural of a green frog with a mustache and a hat. A mural of the upper body of a cartoon person wearing a traditional east Asian dress, I believe. There are braids, sticks, leaves and little flags coming out of their hair. There seems to be a signature, Emma Daisy 2019, next to the mural.

My partner got me sick again! So I've been feeling pretty crummy. I'm resting a lot so hoping I feel better soon!

mi musi e ilo musi sin. nimi ona li musi Honkai: Star Rail. powe pi tenpo kama li pona tawa mi.

I'm playing a new (to me) game called Honkai: Star Rail. Fantasy sci-fi interests me!
Honestly don't know what this is yet. A cute, furry critter with fluffy pink and purple bunny ears, stars in their blue and purple eyes, holding a reddish pink, heart shaped gem with a paw print on it.

Considering starting a Toki Pona vlog for speaking practice? I'm a bit shy so this is just a thought for now. Advice or encouragement are welcome! 🩷

Selfie of me: Pink hair, pink glasses, pink makeup, pink septum nose ring, white shirt with embroidered pink hearts, pale pink floral oversized bow in my hair. Yes, my favorite color is pink.

Meet the baby degus: Sparklemuffin (white), Whistlepig (kinda orange) and Timberdoodle (also kinda orange). Also known as the Beastie Boys since they have weird names for other animals. Doodle and Pig are pretty much identical but their personalities differ. They've grown in just a few weeks!
3 baby degus sitting in my hands. Two have kinda orange fur and the other has white fur. The same 3 baby degus a little less than a month later, in my hands again. They've grown and plumped up a bit!

Art for the Toki Pona tabletop role playing game, O Tawa. A small boat is sailing away. The sky and water look blue, purple and yellow. I'm assuming due to it being dawn or dusk.

Today I learned there's a whole collection of children's songs in the back of The Daily Ukulele book! I've been playing more difficult stuff for my baby nephew and I think he'll enjoy these too.
A page in my ukulele book that says Songs for Children with photos of children holding ukuleles underneath. The alphabet song sheet music in my book.

Felt very femme yesterday. Pink is my favorite color and wearing it almost daily makes me happy. #pink

Last post was about positive experiences I had while using a mobility aid. Here are ways I've been treated poorly elsewhere so folks can know what not to do: Talking to me like I'm a child. Addressing others I'm with instead of talking directly to me. Pretending I'm not even there out of discomfort.

Went to a Murder by Death concert tonight with my rollator walker due to my disabilities. The other fans were so kind and there was no ableism at all. They made sure I could see the stage while sitting and I had some fun conversations that were very respectful. 🥰 A little faith in humanity restored.

It's night time and the signs are shining bright. Cousin and my partner standing at my sides by the concert stage. I'm sitting in my rollator walker.

I take care of many isopods. Baby isopods were born. I'm feeling excited because of this!

Multi color #graffiti walls near the entrance of a hiking trail. The dark angel art with horns was very striking.

Sitelen kule mute lon sinpin kiwen. jan pi sewi sitelen li pimeja li wawa. #tokipona
It's me in my hiking gear in front of a large wall full of multi color graffiti. More multi color graffiti but the main focus is an interesting dark angel with horns?

Night time cardio using my rainbow double LED jump rope from Elite Jumps. Haven't jumped rope since childhood! I'm wearing a sweatshirt, winter hat, neck buff and gloves because it's still cold out at night here. Need to shorten the rope a bit more for better form. #exercise #cardio #jumprope

Speaking of #Tamagotchi this is my collection. The Tamagotchi ON, Uni, Angel and Nano. All shells are pink in some way. Not finished crocheting covers and customizing with charms quite yet. ON is my favorite since it connects to my PC, Uni gameplay is fun, Angel is nostalgic, Nano is lil and cute.
My Tamagotchi collection as described in the post. I'll be remaking the Uni crocheted case with pink yarn (it's pastel rainbow right now), need to maybe crochet a case for the Angel and need to add charms.

Recently got the dreamy angel #Tamagotchi and since I only play when I can, I tend to still enjoy getting the bad care tamas. They're really goofy and fun! I was very pleased with getting this mustached fella.
My dreamy angel Tamagotchi with an angel version of Oyajitchi as the pet. The dreamy angel Tamagotchi shell has blue on top, pink on the bottom with clouds, angel wings and pale pink accents and buttons. Artwork of Oyajitchi, a balding character with a mustache. Basically a head with legs. A growth chart for the Angelgotchi showing who you get from either good care or bad care. The character I got is from bad care.

Went hiking on the Richard Bong trails today. Love bird watching. Also love identifying plants (my fav of the two) but most plants are still asleep here!

A mini fairy worry doll for my travel tin and a sympathy doll, or poppet, that I crocheted myself. The fairy doll doesn't get enough use so I may bring her out while I'm journaling. The poppet is used for self soothing and connecting with my child self. Tempted to crochet another friend. #witchsky
