It went very well 😭💕 I couldn't manage everything but I did a lot more than I thought I could!

I am more nervous than expected about my first L3 pole class tonight lol 🤸‍♀️ mentally preparing to be bad at stuff again ooof

Made it to a comm meetup and birthday party this weekend! I'm still very new to the fashion (and am pretty weak on my personal style generally 😅) but it is still so nice to be welcomed in and hang out with everyone 😭💕

Looking at tulip photos sitting in on a silly meeting like 😌🌷🥴 (so glad we got to see them at peak bloom this year!!)

I had a great time at the pnw cosplay events picnic last weekend 💕💕 trying to get better about saying yes to things and avoiding the spiral of nerves 🤪 some recent social anxiety fails made me extra appreciate such a wholesome friendly day ; w ; And tyty bugghums (ig) for the photo!!

Another batch of sarscon photos as a treat 🌙💕 (i love them so much ahhhh) 📸 @sarscosplay.bsky.social #landofthelustrous #housekinokuni #phoscosplay

Over the moon about the phos photos from @sarscosplay.bsky.social ; w ; I feel so ethereal and luminous wahhh #housekinokuni #landofthelustrous #cosplay #phoscosplay

Another mending project! Almost all the shirts I wore around our first pnw apartment got tears from the weird countertops 🤪 glad to give this cryptid tee I scooped in Salem MA a few more good years!

Had my last class with a close pole buddy who is moving out of the country 🤧💕 So excited for her but also gotta break this friend curse - 3/3 for new local pals leaving within a year 🥲

Deku at #sakuracon today! Hope to see you there if you're going! 🌸💕

Another fun sarscon photo from @icy12ice.bsky.social ✨️ Phos finally got to touch grass after all these years 😹 #cosplay #housekinokuni #landofthelustrous #phoscosplay

It was so fun wearing Phos again and I love this shot from @mrdang.photos 🤩 everyone brought such neat lighting setups that we got to share and work with together! so wholesome!! ; w ; #phoscosplay #landofthelustrous #housekinokuni

Still on cloud nine after our little meetup loving dubbed sarscon last weekend 😭💕 tysm @sarscosplay.bsky.social for organizing!

Made it to a neighborhood potluck and got to bake those tarts from class again myself I'm unstoppable 🥧🎉 (ft zora supervising 😹)

Bittersweet that my last pikmin finally made it back from Japan 😭💕 they make such cute little souvenirs! #pikminbloom

All the cosplayers on the train hit the feelings but still had a nice day with friends yesterday 💕

A little bit of finishing this month's safety meeting notes + community craft night as an alt eccc 💕

Surprise #harlivy photos from tkfiree brightening my day 😭💕 And it is always missing @d0lty.bsky.social hours but never not looking forward to our next adventure! #harleyquinn #poisonivy #cosplay

I had my 100th class at the pole studio yesterday and after two years finally took the membership plunge to be able to go more often 💕 (a little nervous but hope it will all work out!)

Very successful baking class this weekend making rustic tarts! 11/10 thought someone replaced mine with better versions cause I was afraid I goofed my dough but I heckin made those 😭🥧💕

Finally finished a repair I started in that sashiko class from a few months ago! I've had this backpack since elementary school - glad to be able to keep using it 💕 (rough fabric to hand sew through tho I was struggling 🤪)

New comments on 5 year old videos can and WILL make me cry 😭💕 (always hoping to get back into youtube (I have 3 tanjiro edits still on deck from before moving 🤪))

Recently made it through all the Japan photo labeling ; w ; still have a big backlog of scrapbooking lined up but dang what an adventure 💕

Made it to another community craft night! Almost always gotta fight the urge not to go and stay home but I'm glad when I push through 💕

Wishing I was at a con this weekend. Kicking myself for still struggling with driving and also being too nervous to talk to people when I go alone to things anyway 🥲 (If you're ever looking for a +1 in a cosplay group hmu I like to sew and dance and have fun I've just got anxiety 🤪)

Tendo Art Discord crew has done it again! The 9 of us together busted our January goal of 600k with a nice 962,968 steps! Good job! 🙌🎉 #pikminbloom

Had a quick snowshoeing trip a few weeks ago and already need more nature heals stat it was so beautiful 🥺💕

ACLU Minnesota Commission.

Got out to the exquisite creatures exhibit and had some art+nature time 🦋💕

Took a sashiko and boro class today and finished up one of my mending pieces at home! It was super fun and interesting and I'm trying to build up my crafting stamina again with small projects 🪡💕 this year has been tough but I hope to get back into more cosplays soon 😤

Happy holmat to those who celebrate 🎄💕 waving from 2023 and hope to make it next year!! Here we have @sailorgeek.bsky.social systoliq (ig) westlookx (ig) ghostly.duck (ig) I MISS UUUU #holidaymatsuri #holmat

Started catching up on bnha and got really nostalgic for the 2018 holmat days ; w ; missing everyone a bunch rahhh have fun this weekend 🎄💕 #holidaymatsuri #holmat #bnha #myheroacademia #cosplay

Sometimes you don't realize you have a quick release toilet seat until you completely disassemble the toilet seat 😎 (obligatory first holiday back from Japan surprise bidet 🚽🎁🎉)

On call today but got decorations up and eggnog cookies made! 🎄🍪🐈‍⬛️ (also thinking about cinnamoroll and cardcaptor cosplays shh 🤔)

Wowee, really nice day securing a yuletide cookie tin from a local bakery 🍪 participating in the neighborhood cleanup ♻️ making new color coded chore cards 🧹 and practicing driving 🚗🎉 also got another walk and workout in all before 4 WHO IS SHE (about to lose steam with the sun that's who 😭😴)

Friend curse strikes again 🥲 whenever I meet someone fun and close enough to hang out with regularly they move within a few months 🤧 pole dancing hiking cosplayers plz apply I cant go back to bumble bff OTL

Got a bunch of job posting notifications as soon as I left to visit family this week 🤪 happy to report they didn't all close before getting home and I sent out a solid number of apps today for the first time in a while 🎉🎉 Good luck fellow hunters, we can do this ; w ; 💕

Cozy vacation with the in laws 😊🍂 (way more chill than my family lol good luck out there everyone 🤪)

I left feedback about ui changes on my budgeting app and how they were clunky downgrades and I was disappointed/may switch to a new service You expect those to get tossed into the void but someone CALLED me and left a fearful but appreciative message 😭😭 like oh geez I karened too close to the sun

Successful mush hunt today 🍄🎉

Finally got to retry the pole move where I fell on my head a few weeks ago (remi layback 😭) and I DID IT!! Was still a little shaky but I have some leg placement questions for next time :3 And I got to be cool doing the hard move wowing the L2 newbies ; w ; I was them just a year ago ahh!!

I got to plant trees with neighbors for more forest restoration today 🥺💕 (low key was a little late and had to rally after a big karaoke night lolol multitudes 🥂)

This year has been big for fighting back phone and public speaking anxiety. Just called to give some road safety feedback, spoke at a community meeting a few days ago, and a local rep even asked for copies of my years of notes. Little things really do add up, keep pushing! 💕

Had a very nice (probably) last hike without snowshoes of the year for no particular reason 🥳🍂

Had a bit of a lazy daisy morning but nearly at @geekgirlcon.bsky.social as Susie from #summercampisland 🏝💕✨️

One of the little kids at the community craft night was singing golden and me and like 5 other smols went HAH at the same time and I cried 😭💕

Ain't nothing like an all staff that makes you angry cry a little then submit more job applications 🤪

My first pole class in almost 3 weeks was so healing 🥲 Knowing about the intense beauty standards in Japan wasn't quite enough to prepare for being thrown in. Even with pretty solid self image it was hard not to waver. I'm so thankful for this studio that promotes body neutrality and strength 🥺💕

Coming back to work with 700 emails and 11 dms (with an away message hello??) - honestly was expecting worse but happy monday to me 🤪

We just got back from Japan!! Was thinking about doing little recaps in a thread here? Still getting used to this format but hopefully it is fun and I can share some silly stories while getting over the jetlag 🇯🇵💕
