It is small but it’s very pretty hanging out on my gallery wall just above my bookshelves ❤️

(idr but this is probably the “8 x 12” size bc the part inside the mat is about 3.5” high)

I got a beautiful new gaiwan and teacup by @miriam.codes! And it pours nicely 💖

I've contacted "support" via my phone's browser, but they're not even reading the messages. They sent a completely unrelated help article pasted into their reply. The entire website does not load on Linux desktop in either FF or Vivaldi, whether my VPN's on or off. Cannot access account or content.

My tea from @phoenixpearltea.bsky.social hath arrived! Immediately dug in and tried Imperator, which I was curious but unsure about because smoky teas are hit or miss for me, but I really like it!

I mostly know them from LJS but gods I love them

Mine's Hoosier fries. I don't even know if they're a thing outside of the regional grocery store we got them at but 🤤

Somehow my tea orders always manage to arrive together - behold! Many tea! featuring excellent blends from @fridaytea.com (and look at the pretty new packaging!) and lovely black teas & a big ol' spooky grab bag of shou minis from @white2tea.bsky.social 🍵

The "why are you leaving?" dropdown on the #Amazon account closure page is missing "You are evil."

i wonder how weird i am if i say..

^_^

lol tumblr won't let me see that post without logging in

but I found it on a general search. not technically the meme but I like this one xD

TIL qobuz is a music streaming service + download store based in France, and they are hostile to customers protecting their privacy, so they do not want my money.

Friday's Scottish breakfast tea:

oops I kept fiddling with it, removing more duplicate text and shifting things a little and then.

then i went into my Fonts folder.

I haven't had a good music player since I quit using itunes years ago (I have VLC but its library navigation is basically nonexistent). So I finally poked around and found MusicBee, which has been around for a long time and is customizable and beautiful with the right skins. 💖

admirable!

I'm feeling this dude..

y'all @abigailmarkov.bsky.social's work is gorgeous.

I'm gradually switching my accounts from gmail to proton mail, which among other things blocks tracker pixels in emails. One event notification from Meetup had *ten* of those in one email. Just...why?

Oh yeah! My Very Necessary stickers from @hellocloudy.bsky.social arrived yesterday, and they even included a bonus void! (the one on the right) my laptop feels much more complete with these on it ^_^

Somehow whenever I order A Completely Normal And Not At All Exorbitant amount of tea at once, the orders all wind up getting delivered at the same time. It's like they know.

(teas from @fridaytea.bsky.social and Phoenix Pearl Tea)

Birmingham Pen Company has inks specifically meant for mixing your own colors (or theirs, with recipes), and in celebration of lining up a new job I...only bought five (and the diluent, which was on sale and will let me play with improving the too-dark samples I already had). This merits applause.
