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!

The Trees That Were Saved and Destroyed by the Same Mistake
For 20 years, Mexican communities accidentally planted millions of endangered trees, while simultaneously logging thousands in their natural habitat, without knowing it.

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.

Working from home today, drinking Ketlee's 2025 Assam spring green tea from Latomoni village (Dibrugarh).
A pleasant cup: not astringent or overly grassy. I killed my pallet eating a Jaffa cake while drinking this so no real flavor notes to share today #teasky

Don't buy 'curiosities' made of dead bats!
Online stores including Amazon and Google shop are still openly selling these items, a year after we highlighted the problem. Trade in Endangered species needs to stop. #wildlife #bats #nature 🌍

Learned to play Obsession (2018) today while drinking a 2025 First Flush Darjeeling from the Avongrove Estate.
200ml @ 84°C, 2g, 3 min steep. A floral and fruity cup, perfect for a game set in Victorian England. #teasky #boardgames

Rainy day 🌧️ drinking BLT 2025 Simao dongfang meiren oolong. It's not from Taiwan, but I'm not well-versed in baihao anyway and it's $0.28/g
Tea was super floral & fruity with a lovely sweetness. I can taste the soap hint someone on steepster mentioned but it is a good cup! I'm excited to drink more

More tea mail 📨 I *had* to buy this capybara tea pet.. so I figured I might as well get more tea to meet free shipping 👀 Crazy how this decision seems a lot less frivolous in light of recent tariff news..

My first order from Ketlee. I'm looking forward to trying their first flush sampler and masala chai. I also got their single origin CTC explorer so I can step up my own chai game.
Most excited to finally try their experimental "Indian Gushu Sheng" from 2020, 2022, and 2023.

Had a great time learning Apiary tonight! As a former bee researcher, I absolutely loved the theme and I really liked how workers strength increased over time. I also learned Acquire (1963) which was a bunch of fun as well. #boardgames

#boardgame night of Terracotta Army (2022) followed up with a quick game of Big Shot (2001).
I really enjoyed TC's rotating action rings. I always felt I had good options to choose from even if actions and scoring could change on a dime.. leaving me to recalculate my turn last minute.

I love pineapple pizza and sticky rice herb so today I drank some more BLT rice to meet you
My assamica plant even unfurled a new flower in between when I started my session and when I finished 💚🌼
