2023 Winter Solstice Tea
White Tea: I and 1/2 parts
Black Tea with cacao (you can't convince me cacao isn't a must): IV parts
Sage: 3/4 part
Orange dried peel: II parts
Rosemary: 1/2 part
Ginger: I part
Vanilla: 1/2 part
Almond: I part
Notes:
The black tea has three parts of tea with one of cacao, it doesn't have to be that proportion, but that's how I found it on the store. You can't find cacao peel anywhere god fucking dammit.
You might want to put less vanilla if you don't like it much since it has a strong sweetness (hence the ginger). Also it's expensive as fuck, so you can just add the liquid version for sweets making to your taste after infusing the tea.
As for the almond, make any necesary changes in case of allergies.
I'm going to try it with anisette, sometime, but you guys can use any sweet liquor to spice it a little bit. Just a little bit, though, since the idea is to retain the warmth.

what if i brought my magen david rainbow flag into work but also buy a desk-sized palestinian flag to put next to it so that people know to stop wishing me merry christmas but also don鈥檛 make any other assumptions
i鈥檓 almost definitely not going to because it鈥檒l be striking a hornet鈥檚 nest but getting so fucking tired of how much my team is openly assuming everyone is christian (complete with multiple explicit mentions of the church and jesus himself in our last meeting of things/people that coworkers were grateful for)
like yeah it would be inappropriate for me to bring politics to work and will probably make people uncomfortable but THEY STARTED IT

My second strongest arknights theory is that Jaye is present during every single event, but he鈥檚 just a part-timer in the background and so didn鈥檛 ever play any roles worth showing he was there.

a lot of conversations about drinking are fundamentally skewed by the fact that some people are permanently stuck in the idea that people want to drink for the sole purpose of being drunk, rather than acknowledging that drinking is also a social activity and offers an opportunity to build traditions and exercise creativity, in the same way cooking a meal with someone builds camaraderie. you wouldn鈥檛 argue that instead of baking cookies as is tradition you could just eat some oreos at home lol

INSOMNIA
For link?
Meme Tag -- @vigilantdesert
Link paused at the entryway to the courtyard, surprised at the figure standing on the far end of the fire. He'd thought that everyone else had long since gone to sleep. The festivities of the celebration had drawn to a close long hours ago, even Princess Zelda was comfortably asleep in her castle, the lamp in her study long extinguished. The yearly Midsummer festival gained some subtle desperation that year, now that the signs of Ganon's return grew all the more palpable. Link didn't think the common people yet knew the meaning of all the signs, but the more frequent monster attacks had everyone on edge. King Rhoam thought a gathering of the nations and the Champions might serve everyone well, although Link had his doubts, and now Link didn't have his sleep.
Resuming his steps, he crossed the courtyard to join the Gerudo chieftain, nodding a short greeting. His left hand reached up to his forehead before flicking down, mouth puckering slightly with a question. Then his hand drew back down over his face as is closing his own eyes shut before the thumb of his left hand swept past his chin. << Why aren't you sleeping? >>

And so the holidays begin once more. Finally off work, I begin my day with my mum arguing about dishes and showing her hatred of my friends unprompted. What a magical moment this is every year

The last holiday meal was good. Filled with family and laughter and all the good things.
My gf came. I wasn't sure that she was interested, so that was awesome.
My sister in law still does mostly keto cooking. It was delightful but probably higher calories than I am used to. I went heavy in the turkey and had mostly pickles and veggies for pre-dinner munchies. I brought diet squirt, and when that was done, I switched to water. I went back for seconds on the beans n bacon.
I partook in the desserts I wanted and didn't seriously track.
My phone was in use when the meal started so I didn't get a picture. It was a full plate tho, no regerts!
I did take my nomorbidity before I left. And glucomannon between the workout and the shower. So I did try to stay reasonable.
After, it was just fun and kids and games. And stories.
The diet squirt helps with the sobriety. My glass can stay full with a tasty drink for 0 calories. I am not jealous of other people's drinks because I have a nice one. And it is way cheaper than most other cocktail substitutes. I have purchased a lot of them this year.
Kept me happy 馃槉
