I am Saimi Hanma (formerly Kelly Brenner) and the author of The Naturalist at Home as well as Nature Obscura. I'm also an artist and photographer, focusing largely on invertebrates.

You can find my art, photos, writing, info and web shop on my website: www.metrofieldguide.com

the book cover for the naturalist at home: projects for discovering the hidden world around us by kelly brenner. the central image is a curiosity cabinet with various items like skulls, shells and lichens.

the book cover for nature obscura: a city's hidden natural world by kelly brenner. it's a pencil illustration featuring a variety of nature such as a ladybug, crow, invertebrates, moss, slime molds and so on

I'm currently watching season 3 of Thunderbolt Fantasy and reminded again how much I love this show. I recently got a Nendoroid of my fav character.

I'm learning a lot about sake! I like that the store has little ones like this so I can try many different kinds to find what I like. Do you have a favorite?

Saimi Hanma ⚔️ @saimihanma.bsky.social · 6h

Thank you! They're really soft and very comfortable.

Saimi Hanma ⚔️ @saimihanma.bsky.social · 6h

It's a popular brand here, nearly everyone had their sandals. They seem comfortable so far, I walked nearly 5 miles yesterday!

That sounds similar to Sheena Ringo, who's legendary and still really popular and she's as old as I am!

Haha gotta respect people so used to the Mariners losing that they have fireworks ready for just the first round of the playoffs

It's funny, I think we have the same mentality of expecting to lose lol

We're not used to winning either

Saimi Hanma ⚔️ @saimihanma.bsky.social · 15h

I'm so worn out. We're going to run out of pitchers!

Saimi Hanma ⚔️ @saimihanma.bsky.social · 16h

It really was a tragedy, I feel for all the fans getting royally screwed over. But still happy to welcome you to the Mariners!
