Today's tea was my first attempt at Usucha. This year's goal is to finally learn an appreciation for matcha. I wish I had started when there was less demand and it was cheaper..
Between this and learning the shamisen, I'm apparently on my way to becoming a taikomochi

Another successful boardgame night! Finally tabled Mind MGMT and won as recruiter. Rebirth was great (as always). Aeon's End was interesting: I'm not a huge deck builder fan but making it a co-op got my interest.

Happy Imbolc to all who celebrate!
All of the rushes I found were too brittle to make a Bríde’s Cross so I'll find some straw tomorrow. Otherwise, I had a peaceful day walking through nature and making fondue

Tried out a skibike for the first time yesterday. Sooo different from snowboarding. Really beat me up but I started to get the hang of it by the last couple runs.

Use a tea needle/pick and pick around the perimeter when it is lying flat. Make holes about 1.5 cm apart around the whole brick and repeat until you can split the brick into two big flat pieces. That’ll make breaking it further a lot better. Alternatively you can find the nearest ice agents face and
@white2tea.bsky.social I like the Brown Sugar I got, but it’s very hard. Any suggestions for breaking it up?

Boardgame night bringing some joy with all of the terrible things going on. Played Scythe and two new-to-me #boardgames: Lords of Xidit and Space Base.
Loved the action programming of Xidit (even if I am bad at it); very satisfying when you predict opponents moves but also funny when you're wrong

While I love my niche stupid hobby of historical board gaming, sometimes it does just make me want to scream. Take the latest example, a board game about the Irish Potato Famine where you get to compete with friends to see who survives best (?)

If I ran for president, this would be my single issue. I would direct billions towards public restrooms nationwide.
After a marathon week of public appearances and policy pronouncements, Mayor Zohran Mamdani turned to an issue that has long united New Yorkers: public restrooms. He announced a plan on Saturday to commit $4 million to install at least two dozen modular toilets across the five boroughs.
Mamdani Announces Plan to Expand Public Bathroom Access in New York
The city has over eight million residents and only around 1,000 public bathrooms. The new mayor said he was committed to creating more, though he did not say when they would be available.

'So, I had this idea': Scientists dispense insecticide-coated feathers for birds to build nests
Donning a helmet and a well-equipped harness, Dr Fernanda Alves looks like she is set to take on an extreme sport. Instead, she is climbing trees to check nesting boxes for a tiny and very rare bird.
