My bestie got me tea to pair with a book I have. It is smooth with hints of smoke. I’ve read the book already, but plan to go through it for a compare and contrast. This tea is going to be perfect to drink on while I drown myself with notes!

A happy mail day! Got a jar of my absolute favorite tea of all time from @ashenalchemy.bsky.social ! I was so happy to see this in the shop, as I was heartbroken when my little bag from the Patreon was used up.

there will be plenty of things out there that are not to your taste, but this culture of saying yuck to sincerity to get little more than an empty laugh - it will destroy your heart.

I know I’ve said this before but it bears repeating:
We need your queer books more than ever. They’re the only thing getting us through the day sometimes. You’re literally saving lives.

This is what your reposts and signal boosts can do for independent artists.
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

To that end, my order processing time is at 7-10 business days due to present higher than normal order volume. But in general, this is going to be my standard processing time going forward. I’m going through major life changes and this is a one person operation. Thank you for understanding.

Reminder when you order from small businesses to check their order processing times and to not expect them to magically be shorter than what they have listed. Sometimes they might be and that is a bonus, not the norm.

Today is the last day to join the OGA Tea Guild for March. This month’s theme is Frost Melt and it is the two year anniversary of the guild so all members will receive a little extra token of appreciation. The tea for this month is an oolong blend with peach and snow plum blossoms.

A little leather reback from a workshop at school. In an ideal world I would have completely retooled the spine to replicate the existing tooling that was crumbling away, but the point was to practice spine lifting and reattachment. This is volume 2 of the odyssey.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
