spoiler for day 1 of the Bird & Blend advent calendar 🫖

is this just a tea blog now? maybe!

today is a rooibos tea spiced with ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and mallow flowers 🫚

rooibos is a south african red tea from a different family from your black and green teas. it doesn’t go bitter because it contains very little tannins. this means it can be steeped for longer to extract all the flavour - 4+ mins is the recommendation on today’s tea. it’s also caffeine free! so if that’s a pro or con i’ll let you decide.

i’m usually not a huge fan of rooibos, but this has been a great warmer for today’s cold morning. the slightly woody flavour goes really well with the spices and makes you feel all cosy. i had my first cup black (red?), no sugar, so for my next one i’ll add a lil almond milk and half a teaspoon of honey.

but first, a caffeinated black tea, and maybe a coffee, to get through this morning’s paperwork 🫠

Thanks in no small part to tumblr, the #1 Social Media Platform for Marketing, good.store had one of its best days ever yesterday. Your friendly neighborhood unpaid intern is grateful.

parental controls on the internet should go the other way around. my mom should not be spending her screen time this way.

there needs to be a study on the far right radicalisation of middle aged men via youtube and facebook. i wonder how many people attending these hotel protests and the unite the kingdom march wouldn’t be there if they just had a hobby instead of brain rotting online 😭😭

Saw some pictures of hooded crows playing in the snow and wanted to redraw them as silly little dromaeosaurs.

The pictures are under the cut!

The trouble with mending, and all the cute visible mending trends especially, is that mending is predicated on the idea that what you have is an essentially sturdy garment that has worn out in a high-wear area or gotten damaged/torn. Whereas what most of us are actually dealing with is cheaply made shit that has simply given out at the first sign of adversity. If you mend something that's weak to begin with, it's entirely likely that it will just tear at the edge of the mend, which will suddenly be the strongest part of the garment. Or if your shirt has worn through or ripped out at the seam, it's just a crap shirt, and you can fix that seam, but another will give soon, and you have to make an honest assessment of whether the work you put in is worth it. My cheap Hanes white cotton socks blow out at the heels far faster than they ever used to, and fuck a bunch of that, but I'd never bother darning them. They'll just blow out at the toes in a month.

I don't have a solution to offer for this that doesn't involve spending either more money or more time. It is still barely possible to buy quality clothing, but it costs more than most of us can afford. And you can still make your own clothing, but as the skills and tools become less common, it's all the harder to learn. All I can say is look around, make a real assessment of your resources (like, say, Grandma still has a working machine and a stash of probably unfashionable but maybe cute fabric, or you think you can afford two pairs of good work pants a year and then keep them mended), and do your best.

while it’s a fun mindfulness activity, the fact that every week i have new holes in my clothes to darn is pretty terrible

something i didn’t fully realise until i was part of the machine is that there are so many people inside of these corporations trying their best to use the company resources for good.

BUT i swear to god, the big bosses at the top will do everything in their power to negate this effort to save another million and increase their pay. nothing gets done. anything that does get done is shallow and for pr
