Biblioethica Jan/Feb Prompt: Cycle

Image
The original prompt for this month's Biblioethica post was meant to echo the movie Groundhog Day. Kind of a joking prompt when it was first brought up. But I think it can also be a great chance to talk about the "cycles" I see in the mori community. There are, of course, many kinds of cycles. Cycles in fashion, cycles in colors, cycles in hobbies, and many more. But today, I want to talk about the life cycle of a mori person!  I think most moris will experience all stages of this cycle, although some may decide to leave the fashion at some point and move on to other interests. But if you are a long-term mori or someone passionate about the style, you will likely find yourself somewhere on this cycle yourself! (Please know this post is just for fun! If any of these stages describe you, it is purely a coincidence based on larger trends and not me criticizing you/calling you out/etc. It is just my observations based on larger trends I have noticed over many years in the comm...

2025 Year in Review

Image
In 2024, I made a year in review post. I wanted to do the same thing for 2025. Although last year was a little harder and a little sadder, there were still a lot of good things to celebrate that I want to share with you all. Personal Life Sad stuff out of the way first. I had a lot of personal loss this year (not to mention the collective loss and fear in the world right now due to the rise of fascism, war, the state of the environment...) My sweet grandma passed away early in the year, right after I had moved back to the US from Japan. So it's been a year of grieving the loss of my family member and the place I had been calling home. But I'm grateful both that I could make it home in time to see my grandma again before she passed, and that I had a chance to live out my dream of living in Japan in the first place. Life is a mix of ups and downs, so I'm trying to learn to love them both. On a positive side, moving back to my home country has mean the chance to reconnect with...

Mori Week 2025

Image
If you were following along, we recently had mori week. I posted my answers to each prompt on my bluesky account, but I wanted to share them here as well! It's no surprise to anyone who knows me at all that my favorite color is purple. Today is also Turkey Day, so I made a cozy purple outfit to lounge at home with family. My closet is still lacking in skirts, so rare mori pants! I play a lot of games, mori and not. My top favorites atm though would probably "Season: A Letter To The Future" for indie games, and Zelda games for big studio games. In "Season", you travel an abandoned world on your bike, seeking to make sense of the past and future of your world. The scenery is beautiful and the story is very thought provoking. Zelda games are so well known, there's no need to explain them. But new or old, they never fail to give me a sense of wonder!  My first Zelda game was actually TOTK. I still have such fond memories of the first time I picked it up. Even th...
