really cool. the particular contrast of the cerulean/cobalt shadows against the warmer colors on the bottom two hands almost makes my eyes kinda pang

i think those were solar prominences and not flares but i’m not a sun doctor

made it to the path of totality and it wasn’t even hard! maybe like an extra five minutes of traffic and i think it was because of a train crossing. thin layer of clouds but i could still see the eclipse really well. saw that big ol’ prominence at the bottom and i think a smaller one a little to the left of it.

no shadow bands though. the 2017 eclipse the shadow bands were SUPER obvious and it was extremely cool. i was smack in the center of the zone that time though and this time i was right on the edge. i wonder if that was the reason or if it was because of the clouds even though they were thin. maybe something else entirely. a little disappointed about that but it’s hard to have any real complaints when the forecast went from storms to 90% clear just a few hours before.

• create hilarious resume, lie about massive work gap
• apply to be a city park ranger
• hope that isn’t a cop
• drink tube of strawberry corn syrup instead of smoking weed
• brush teeth and rinse with listerine
• you can clean your teeth but you can’t clean your insides
• play gta, smoke weed

super cool. i remember seeing a guy eat em on some discovery channel show like fifteen years ago. they remind me of these stag’s horn clubmoss spores under an electron microscope

I’ve found one actual tea shop somewhat locally so far but i think it must be gentrified as heck from their prices. I’ll keep lookin’ though, it’d be neat to find a lil place around here instead of resorting to the internet.

Oh yeah i saw that the other day but passed it up for the stash brand bergamot, I’ll check it out thanks for the recommendation. The more citrus the merrier.

I’m a bit of a vanilla-in-tea skeptic but i will try it on the basis of your kind recommendation 🫡

i’ve tried the organic harney son’s supreme and i can baaarely taste the bergamot, but i can totally see how that would appeal to someone too (also maybe the non-organic one is more intense?)

apparently that isn’t bergamot but still

my fukamushi habit has ebbed dramatically in the last year so i have a little spare scratch in the tea fund, thanks for the recommendation!

neato thanks for the rec, i think i’ve seen sadaf brand stuff at a middle-eastern store down the street but i’ve never thought to check for tea

ah yes i’ve read of this one, i’ll definitely check it out thanks for the tip

i am rapidly approaching the conclusion that i’ve already exhausted the frankly pathetic best of what the frankly pathetic bagged-world has to offer and i have begun the process of reallocating all system resources to loose-leaf 🍵

my avant-garde incidental avian sound installation does not have enough mougenot and i am outraged

oh shit now i’m bergamot pilled on a whole 'nother level, even the stash tea graphic design people don’t know what bergamot is?! insane. great vid, thanks for sharing

Oh yeah it seems like lady grey is pretty popular. i’ll pick up a box next time, i’ve always enjoyed bigelow’s constant comment so i’ll probably dig it
