<p>Accepting bitterness is the leap of faith in the religion of tea. <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tea</span></a> I try to follow people who are either friends of mine or people I learn things from. (Delightfully, there is overlap between the two categories!) If I get the impression that you’re here mainly to display your moral or aesthetic superiority, I will try to ignore you.</p>

Do you have a yen for creating your own role-playing game? But you’re bummed out because there are already so many RPGs out there that you won’t score many points when you announce your game to the Fediverse? Don’t despair!

I’ve been paying attention to the progress of Graham Platner, the rough-around-the-edges working-class-hero type candidate for US senator in Maine. Specifically, I’ve been wondering, if he gets elected, will he turn into another John Fetterman. Apparently not!

I took on a bunch more crassicolumna teas, encouraged by my results with the aged yabao “puer”. I agree with @baptnz that the yabao black tea cake is a standout. The dark buds yield a pale (for hongcha) liquor that has a pleasant degree of bitterness. It also has something I’m a sucker for; a cooling, almost mentholic, quality. @tea
