Happy holidays #teasky!

I'm keeping it simple today with Ketlee's handcrafted masala chai blend. I always find myself craving spiced tea this time of year 🍵

I RELEASED A NEW TTRPG!! it's very silly & full of jewish shitposting!!

your attributes are "GREAT", "MIRACLE", "HAPPENED", and "THERE!", your progress clock is candles on a menorah, and these are the kind of tables i put in there.

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

A member of the public brought this great horned owl in today. Such beautiful creatures 💚

Day 19: Pu'erh

I've only tried one variety of pu'erh, but the one I have smells and tastes so much like sun-warmed hay that every time I drink it I get launched back into being a 12 year old horse-nerd. It's a neat experience.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

The description of American Bitterns as having an “agonizingly slow gait” is literary gold. Well written, Sibley.

Hey #teasky,

Drinking "Chocolate Flower Peach" Daxue Shan black tea from Bitterleaf today. Even with my (still) stuffy nose, I get that lovely peach note right away.

I can't wait for this illness to finally pass so my sense of taste returns to normal 🤧

When they are small they look like little pancakes, but as they grow they turn into proper manju crabs. 🦀🦀

Been sick for 2 weeks so I deserve a little treat. What better than a bunch of uncommon fruits from Specialty Produce 🥭🍎🍏 Not sure how to eat an ice cream bean but I'm going to find out!

Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

A belated birthday gongfu session of 1992 CNNP AnHua "Hei Zhuan Cha" from King Tea Mall. A woody, herbal and enjoyable cuppa. Less compost-like than my usual YS "kang" brick. #teasky

Every couple of months I pull out my #tamagotchi and kill a concerning amount of Hashizotchis before letting the battery die.

But this time I got a Pochitchi!! Not an accomplishment at all to real tama people but I am very proud

Three new-to-me #boardgames last game night: Hokkaido, Notre Dame, and Art Society.

Loved Notre Dame! The art was meh but I really enjoyed the drafting, limited workers, and character market.

Art Society was fun with solid production quality, fun bidding, and relaxing tile placement.

Holiday tea session of BLT's '25 youhuaxiang dancong. 1g/15ml @ boiling. Wet leaves smelled of pistachios and caramelized sugar.

I see why this varietal is called "pomelo flower aroma": the citrus flavor steals the show and the bitterness is reminiscent of zest. Light, floral, and yummy!

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.
