happy idahobit

good news everyone, guess what's getting delivered today (probably i will not do the tasting today though)

today i want to: * get more sewing done (finish neckband finishes) * eat a donut * finish reading article club article (i have uhhhh six hours before article club meets) * do an at home matcha tasting if i have brain space: * go through emails to get rid of a bunch * start sewing on sleeves

tea good. waking up with a raw puerh mini i got rid of the packaging for so none of us will have more information than this but it's yummy with a twinge of astringency

really feeling this tumblr post today (everything's fine, i just had to take a deep breath while marking a long rectangle to cut, and i expect subsequent steps will require more deep breaths) (but at least i get to baste stitch a thing) www.tumblr.com/bookhobbit/8...

no, autocorrect, i did mean "stabby, flippy, stabby, flippy"

did not expect a mention of kashrut in this paper about disabled cyborg maintenance but here we are #articleClub

there's something funny about working on putting a neckband into a t-shirt while i am wearing a (commercially made) t-shirt with the neckband cut out

You ever get the feeling you’re being watched

feeling powerless but i am going to (finally) try new to me volunteering gig tonight as a guest and see if i like it/can bodily handle it well

not the point, but my brain mushed this up into "avocado lattes" and now i want that

Am I a person??? (yes)

i am almost halfway through sewing on the neckband! go me

look at these cute-ass dipped gaiwans i don't need viatiempo.com/collections/...

today i will * work on t-shirt (prepare and pin neckband at least, maybe do some actual stitching) * slice bread from fancy bakery * leave house? ?? tea shop? dinner out?

i am feeling disproportionately "what am i doing with myself what am i doing with my liiiiife" today

Today is Nakba Day, when we commemorate the roughly 750,000 Palestinians who were forcibly displaced by Zionist militias during the 1948 Palestine War. Acknowledging the Nakba and making restitution is the precursor to building a better future for everyone living in the region.

LRT ohhhhh so cute 🐢

Megatron, hunter of minnows, destroyer of food pellets, absolute drama queen, is 144 grams today. 42 days until she is released back to her native waters in the Chesapeake Bay.

Gardeners of Bluesky! A question: I have a patch of black raspberries that are doing great in most respects save one: they barely set fruit. They flower prolifically, but rarely get beyond that. I assume this is a pollination issue, but none of my other fruiting plants have this problem! Help?

ungh. achey

Jam softe jam fuzzy jam perfect bebe

me: okay i am gonna continue the gongfu from yesterday, i want the tea in there and it'll be nice my building: HELLO IT IS TIME TO BEEP-TEST FIRE ALARMS

i can't decide whether to be thrilled about having clear guidance or side-eyeing the amount of "if X conflicts with us, follow their guidelines. if Y conflicts with us, follow OUR guidelines." i'm getting from the procedure center about this colonoscopy coming up

holding an extremely good (if at times overwhelming) social time yesterday as my current bank against the horrors

I may have said “oh boy I got a new message in MyChart!” out loud just now

OKAY SO WHAT’S THIS ABOUT THEN this thread will contain mild spoilers for previous books!

Terms like Antisemitic or Anti-hindu are incredibly important for protecting minority groups who are being persecuted by the majority in their areas. Using these terms to silence criticism when you are the majority persecuting a different minority really hurts the communities that need protection

Pet ownership in a nutshell (jk, jam only sometimes hates me, when I’m the mean parent who dares to give brushies)

sewing is basically magic. i love hand sewing class even if i'm not following along like i'm "supposed" to rn

@bibliogrrl.bsky.social I generally understand what's going on in this but my notes for this neckband point-matching part say: "Attaching neckband: (Bunch of stuff I am going to rewatch the video for)"

i may have picked too theory-y a paper for article club this weekend 🙈 i mean, it's a good paper about cool stuff i'm just also a little 😵‍💫 reading it

one of my favorite @white2tea.bsky.social teas, this dancong oolong is fragrant af and floral and heady and everything dancong should be imo, and it's like $5 because it's a blend and """ugly""" or whatever. I was in the mood for a fragrant oolong, dug into my new bag, went "wow it's so good" again

i will never get tired of food-named animals, or animals going O.O at human bathtime

Just misread “plotholes” as “potholes” and it made for an amusing minute or so of writing/reading advice

I drank a cold beverage on a cool day and now I’m cold? Who could have predicted this

Finally getting to this today—it’s good but not mindblowing; I like the hot brew better, and prefer the cold brew (or an interesting green) to this one. now I know! bsky.app/profile/mism...

the tea club i subscribe to is sending me matcha and i'm intimidated. i have a milk frother to use for whipping it and a mesh steeper that can work as a sifter and a water heater of variable temperature so like, the basic supplies are here, but aaaa. any of y'all do at-home matcha?

Over a third of caregivers have disabilities themselves and they are facing challenges that aren't necessarily being addressed by existing support structures. My latest @19thnews.org

alright I’m trying the electric toothbrush wish me luck

Yo, the homie @drkippd.bsky.social is teaching an introductory course on Biblical Hebrew! They'll be reading through the book of Jonah. Snag the early-bird discount! 📜 🪔 #BiblicalHebrew www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3xJ...

Scholars are so cool. I wanna be a scholar when I grow up (I am 38 this ship has sailed) (but like. so cool. If you’re a scholar I think you’re neat and I think your work is neat.)

i was doing fine, even being productive on a side project, and then i opened bsky again and my mood is trash again. could be coincidence...

trying the cold brew of the duckshit dancong and i get the hype now! i am getting a lot more fun flavors and floral notes than i was while brewing it with hot water / the normal way (cc @rjelevi.bsky.social). Still not my #1 fave in the universe but it's really good!

tired: dress to impress wired: dress to confuse

Once again wondering how to balance bearing witness to the horrors, processing the feelings that result, and living a regular life

Jam is cuddling the air purifier

Sandwich lunch….hmm

I’m sad and tired and don’t want to do things. But as it was pointed out to me earlier, I complain when I don’t have stuff to do too. What do I even want? (A nap?)
