Hell yeah! Love that. Honestly love fandom tea sellers.

I did find this one from this guy who does tea videos on YouTube and it’s actually a black jasmine rather than green! And the way they infuse it is different in process than most jasmine teas

Anyway this was in Portland - either in a coffee shop or that pie shop near where our bnb was.

Well I’ve found my new favorite jasmine tea I think. Post work tea & reading time has been a success even if I had to put my book down because I’m heading into its next heartbreak era

That’s actually specifically my weakness

Squirrelly Wes @wesmanderson.bsky.social · 21h

A woman can’t even promote her own film without someone grossly making the entire headline/article about men she worked with, absolutely shocking 🙄🙄🙄

“Things are always happening that have the potential to change you.” 🔥

The Transfeminine Review @thetransfemininereview.com · 1d

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

The constraints of luggage are so rude 😔

That’s honestly impressive. I got deep in the stacks at downtown Powells and found some niche shit I couldn’t say no to

They all safely made it back with me in my carryon luggage and that? That’s a fucking feat. Had to sit on my bag to get it to close, but it all made it back.

The bigger shock should be that I didn’t come home with any tea that I didn’t also bring with me 💀

I brought my whole gungfu set

Did I mention I purchased 7 books at 2 different trips to 2 different Powells locations over the course of my trip? As well as multiple pieces of glassware?

Who fucking let me have adult money???

I promise I’ll never know because I simply cannot watch video of myself singing, I will literally perish. Instead I will keep the memory in my head of the ABSOLUTE joy it has been every single time we’ve sung that song together but especially this time 😌
