Research is about discovery. THE FACEMAKER opens with the story of Private Percy Clare, who's shot in the face in WWI. I found his handwritten diary at the Imperial War Museum, which led me to connecting with relatives of his who were able to provide further documents & details about his life.
Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

I'm glad to see more normies and normie adjacent figures fucking finally talking about the subject, specially by bringing actual sex workers to talk about it.

Good morning! Just a reminder that the video games you play are made by living and real people who deserve to be treated as such and you need to demand for better and safer conditions for the devs behind your favorite games, especially if you ever want good games and not corporate slop!

Instead of some big box tea, make your dollar have more impact by giving Friday Tea some patronage. A small tea house with ridiculously high quality stock (I rec Friday's Afternoon and Earl Grey)

friday tea is AMAZING, highly recommend stocking up on some delicious tea to snuggle up with as the chilly season settles in up here in the northern hemisphere!🥰 (bonus: you can use code itsteabriar and support two queer latinas at the same time🤭🩷)
This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month.

All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

Remember: retired from regular rotation does not mean you can't ever have it again! Consider these "secret menu" teas after 12/3!

We're hearing from our Seattle customers that full owed SNAP funds have hit their accounts! THAT'S FANTASTIC!

We are still running our fall-winter food & warm clothing drive, free community pantry, and free tea & pastries for neighbors in need. These are ongoing resources we offer!
I'm hearing these SNAP benefit updates:
-100% Washington state
-100% Michigan
-100% California
-Partial Illinois
-Partial North Carolina
-1/2 Vermont

(Note that not everyone in these states received money today because their typical day of the month for benefits may not have passed yet)

My crows keep visiting today, and it is very hard to fight the urge to give them more treats.

They are very smart. They know I adore them. They know they are powerful beyond mortal comprehension.

We have a bunch of sampler options for this exact purpose! Mystery samplers are always a hit; folks love the "choose your caffeine level" aspect of them.

My personal faves are the witchy set of Dreamer's Potions & the deliciously diverse LatAm Heritage Sampler!

I meant to type that fees hit *tomorrow*, for clarity. Any custom blends/gift cards folks want to buy today for future use are great!

As always, don't harm yourself to lift us up. If you don't have spare cash to help your fave indie tea house stay on top of things, don't you dare worry about it.
