Sitting down to a relaxing cup of @fridaytea.com’s Harvest Spice; have been joined by this little bug friend. On the one hand: yay, cute bug! On the other hand, I’ve been reading @tkingfisher.com’s A House with Good Bones…and, well, iykyk.

One last little baby spider just showed up the arm of the couch, like it was asking me where its siblings went. Now settled outside on a leaf. 🥹

Giving the last of the baby jumping spiders a drink before they’re released in the wild. Luckily it’s still unusually mild outside.
Go out there and make mama proud, little spoods! 🥹🩷

Sometimes Tea Time isn’t gorgeous. Sometimes it’s on your dirty kitchen counter, in front of the microwave, next to a splatter of last night’s butternut squash soup. But it still feeds the soul.
Take care & drink tea, friends!

Best thing we can do individually to help hold back the despair and isolation of fascism is to make beautiful things and memories.
Fascism wants to collapse all potential futures even those that we hold interior to ourselves, so to fight it we must embrace ourselves,one another and art.

OMG you guys a jumping spider had babies in my window and now my side table is a baby jumping spider nursery. One the one hand: LOOK AT HOW CUTE AND TINY IT IS. 🥹 On the other hand, this is starting to push the limits of my recently overcome arachnophobia.

29 years ago in college, I auditioned for 2 solos in Britten’s Ceremony of Carols. I didn’t get either of them. Devastated, I tell you.
Last night, I auditioned for the same solos and got them both.
I promise I’m an emotionally mature adult. But 19yo me is all “How do you like me now, Dr. G-C?”

Oof. Very Good Advice has become my go-to panic attack recovery tea. And I’ve been having a lot of panic attacks (can’t imagine why)!
Time to stock up, I guess. Can I buy it by the bushel? 😬

So proud of my conservative little hometown! About 500 people lined Main Street, with tons of supportive honking and waving from passing cars. I usually head down to Vancouver or PDX for rallies/protests, so I was a little concerned what might happen out here…gives me hope!

Geeetings from War-Torn Portland! (Where there are no stores left, yet somehow I still managed to drop 300 bucks.)

Whatever that praying means for you, get it done. That includes scientifically cheering for her wellbeing. Don’t fuss about it, just make good thoughts for a good woman.

Took Clement the Tea Pet (and my partner D, as well) out for a nice autumn walk…ended up having a long chat w/ some neighbors we’ve only greeted in passing and discovered we’re like-minded comrades. Community building FTW!

Brewing up some unsmoked Lapsang from @fridaytea.com, because I need some beauty and joy in the face of all the *incoherent omg-what-is-happening noises*
It’s like the tea version of a comforting bowl of steaming ramen on a cold day. 🩷

I don’t know about y’all, but we’re spending an exciting Saturday night deep cleaning the washing machine’s entire detergent/softener mechanism.

After staying up past 3am going down a research rabbit hole re:early Christianity, I’m starting to wonder where the line is between “I’m a Spiritual Person” and “I’m an AuDHD person with a special interest in religion”.

Yay, a proper cool fall rain! Which means a hundred middling photos of one of my favorite subjects: raindrops on plants.

Sad to miss NW Tea Festival this weekend, but probably for the best since I have that Post-Cold Cough and I feel like a public menace. 😅

Celebrating a return to tea with my very favorite Yan Hong from @white2tea.bsky.social!
Been down for the count all week with a cold…last one was pre-Covid and I forgot how miserable a plain ol’ cold is. (Will kinda miss the nightly dreams from the NyQuil Cinematic Universe, however.)

Trying Golden Flowers Heicha for the first time. Got this sample from @fridaytea.com (& recommended by fellow sensitive-gut friends).
What a fascinating tea! I can definitely taste the mushroom umami funk, but also…like a creamy sweetness? Almost like creme brûlée. Beautiful tea for fall!
