Share this please! Do not use bike lanes as loading zones on campus. Do not put someone's safety at risk because you don't want to walk half a block. I'm looking at all the food delivery drivers. @Doordash, @UberEats, @GrubHub, @EatStreet and @Fantuan...Your drivers make it unsafe for bikers.

When the past comes back to guide you by the hand, grab tight. The littlest lala grabbed hold of her own hand and pulled her past self close to get thru the storm.

Was super excited about a new stream overlay package. There was an entire "I don't use AI" statement in their disclosure.... but when the image was run through a AI image detector??? 97% AI positive. So make sure you double check because obviously Etsy isn't bothering to.

Third spaces are so important. Places where people can hang out like libraries and maker spaces matter. They create a sense of community and may be the biggest social outlet some people have. Support your local third spaces!!

I'm learning new things....so be prepared for many new gposes

A small lalafell dances in the night of Old Sharlyan with the text : And the littlest lala found joy in the solitude of the night. She found peace and happiness of the night. And she danced to the sounds and colors of the night

Thank you to everyone who helped me with this video. During this hard week it was so encouraging to see people showing up to Dance Thru Eorzea with me. youtu.be/kElAJWJ3ltI?...

The feeling of moving on when you really weren't ready to...but the sense of relief that it's also finally over....

The world seems very dull lately. And while I'm actively working on getting out of my slump I want to thank the people that show up anyways. The ones who pop into my short streams, the ones who check on me, the ones who sit with me in silence. You do more than you realize.

On a short trip to Michigan, but my entire brain is exhausted and drained. I'm trying to be the best me for myself. But honestly it's hard and exhausting. People see me up in the middle of the night...but the truth is that the dark bothers me right now. Sleeping when the sun is up just feels safer.

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

And maybe that's because I'm learning to stand on my own. And that's what I've needed to do for a while. So to the people this year who decided I was a "bad friend" for whatever reasons. Thank you. Thank you for showing me I'm strong enough to do it without you.

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

But that's just it. I'm learning and I'm feeling confident while learning it. Fights I used to hate and couldn't read the mechanics? I'm figuring out how to read them. I'm proud of how far I've come since starting DRK. And I know that I'm happier as a dark knight. 4/?

I've walked away from red mage. My lala who has been a red mage since day one has set aside her rapier. Because the best way to protect herself, was to stop trying to heal others. And it turns out I'm a good dark knight, and a good bard. Do I have room for improvement on both classes? Yes. 3/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I've learned that if someone expects me to prioritize their feelings over my own that it's okay to walk away. And I've learned that I need to be a lot more picky with who I trust. So how has that changed my lala? It's a lot more complicated... 2/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Someone asked me a few days ago why my lala no longer wears her trademark pigtails and I had to think about how to explain it. Because for 3 years that was her primary hairstyle. And to be honest it's because I've changed. I've started setting boundaries and being firm with them. 1/?

Yellowstone was our animal park with sightings of bison, elk, black bear, pronghorn, mule deer, Osprey, sandhill cranes, and white headed sparrows.

WELP so much for that 1000 business cards I ordered with my linktree on it....We just can't have nice things anymore.

So if you want to respond to this post with those pictures and the information you want shared, or to drop it in my discord. We'll honor your fur babies. Because every animal has a piece of our heart. All the love <3 Poni

The one's you've lost or the one's you have. Tell me what makes them special! You have until June 25th when I'll start putting together a slideshow. During a charity stream (date tbd) I'll share the slideshow. And we'll try to break our record and raise $1k for the humane society. 2/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

So usually on May 28th we do a charity stream in honor of my soul kitty Spice who passed away May 28th, 2012. This year I'll be going out of town for almost a month the day after. So here's my idea. Give me the pictures and a quick story of all your animals. 1/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Unfortunately this year I won't be able to do this charity stream because I'll be heading out of town the next day. So here's the plan. Once I return I'll do that charity stream. And this year it will be in memory of ALL the pets lost. 3/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

And for someone to imply I don't understand that loss or that I would be dismissive of it. Every year for the last few years I've done a charity stream on the 28th. My community has helped raise over $1k for the Humane Society during these charity streams. 2/?

I love all my FF14 friends and if you want to hang out you can always reach out. Just know that us hanging out may not be actively playing together...it may just be both of us in a call vibing while we do our own thing.

020

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

And that's not to say I don't enjoy interacting with people in game, but sometimes I'm just doing my own thing while I hang out. That doesn't take away from the value of the hang out. In fact for me it enhances it. Because we can do things "together" without having to be "together". 7/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

But I'm being more present with myself. Because while I enjoy doing content with friends, I need to also give myself the quiet times when I'm watching cutscenes and doing things. I enjoy doing paralell play. I can do my own thing while my friends do their own things. 6/?

100

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

On my JP alt I'm rewatching every cutscene and slowly my love for this game, that I was honestly experienceing burnout in, is returning. I'm already over 8k hours into XIV and the last 6 months I feel like I was just running through the motions. So yes I have been less present with friends. 5/?

100

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

And I guess all of this is leading to this. Mentally I'm struggling with a lot of things. And some people have seen me pull back some from interacting. And that's because I have been overwhelmed and overstimulated. So I've been diving back into the story of 14. 4/?

100

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

All of this is to say, if you notice my alts missing from your friends list? It's probably because I'm trying to reduce my own mental load. I put so much pressure on myself to take care of each of my characters that I felt like I was drowning. 3/?

100

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

And by that I mean removing alts that haven't made ANY story progress in at least 2 months. I've deleted 3 of them leaving me with 3 NA characters and my one JP character. All of the NA characters are at least into Shadowbringers. And my JP character has just walked into Kugane 2/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

When they announced cross-dc duty finder/pf I was super excited. You see I'm on Dynamis and have always had to travel to do things with my friends or have alts. So the knowledge that I won't be dc-hopping just to do roulettes and pf with people...EXCITEMENT. So I started cleaning house... 1/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

And while Alphinaud becomes part of the story right at the beginning I feel like Alisae formally joining us later in HW was the right timing. She had to figure out her own role in the journey and her own way of being part of it. Much the same way many of us players choose our main during ARR... 3/?

010

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

But we also see her question why things have to be the way they are. From an early encounter with her where she questions why Eorzea mattered so much to her grandfather that he would leave her and Alphinaud behind...to her taking the lead fighting the warriors of darkness at the end of HW 2/?

The Lost Lala: Ponia @ponia.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

As I replay MSQ in FFXIV I realize why Alisae has always been my favorite of the twins. She sees that the WOL needs their friends and that teamwork can lessen the weight of what the WOL carries. And over and over we see her fighting the same fight we are...the fight to defend her friends 1/?
