I’m also back on Twitch on Sunday mornings playing a cozy game about operating a pop-up bookstore called Tiny Bookshop. It’s been, honestly, life-changing. If you want to catch up on my adventures over the past couple weeks, VODs are up on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@BookstacksJ...

It’s February 1st and I’m back on social media. However, I think I will continue to keep it off my phone. It’s too easy to scroll and do myself mental damage rather than engage in productive activities. So I’m here! But I’m only checking in every once in a while.

Well, shit. An old friend from that other place, Rob Wieland, passed away over the weekend. We went all the way to GameHoleCon to game with this dude. It's also how I first met Tanya DePass (who I am deliberately not tagging—don't get blocked here) which introduced me to Twitch.

I often forget I have pink hair until I catch someone staring at me. I still have a brief moment of, "Uhhh. What's their deal?" before remembering that my hair is bright pink and that is likely their deal.

Been feeling a little stuck lately so in an effort to get unstuck, I'm trying new places and learning new things. Figured I may as well share the journey. Never made a video like this before so be kind ❤️

I uninstalled that owl app a while ago because of all the AI nonsense, but when I looked into alternatives yesterday, I found out that I have Mango Languages available through my local library! I signed in with my library card and now I'm learning Spanish! Buenos dias!

Very basic text-based lesson interface from Mango Languages app. There are unit and lesson numbers, a vocabulary tab and a chapter recap tab.

We went to an art walk tonight. Apparently it happens every month. We only bought tiny things, but we're going to commission a painter to paint Chester. Lovely evening too. We'll do this again!

Lots of grass and lots of sky with a setting sun. Brick buildings can be seen at the edges and in the distance.A painting of a black and white dog against a background of a slightly surreal sidewalk, grass, bushes and trees.A wall full of paintings of cars, dogs, flowers and birds. All are vivid colors with a slightly distorted perspective.

Wanna come check out the new season? Maybe play a couple rounds with folks who will let you try out the new character finally? We got you! Live at 4:30 PM EDT on Twitch with viewer games. Hopefully with less accidental DPS Luna. Whoopsie.

Waddup chat?! I forgot to post my schedule last week! But hey it's a new week so we can reset and restart and we have some fun stuff planned! Notably, Monday Powerwash Simulator with my husband and Lego building on Saturday! Join us!

Husband and I went thrifitng this morning specifically to look for Pyrex, which we found. But it was so nice out that we didn't want to go home so when we saw a sign for a Middle Eastern food festival, we followed the signs and ended up at a Melkite Greek Catholic Church.

That's a wrap! If you missed the stream but would still like to donate, I will leave the goals open through Monday! So far we reached the Discord Cooking Stream goal and are $70 away from the Lego Stream. Chili dogs turned out DELICIOUS. Here's the link: ko-fi.com/liafireheart

We went into DC tonight to Providencia. Food and drinks were incredible in a cozy, stylish atmosphere. Such care for my husband's allergies—it's a relief to find somewhere safe for him. I can't recommend it highly enough. We are already planning our next visit.

There is a Maria cookie stuck in the top.

It's been so long since I played Ranked #Fortnite that I can't remember if there's siphon or not right now 💀 Should probably look that up before we play Ranked again today in *checks watch* 24 minutes. We'll play as long as it's fun and we can get lobbies!
