Really anything can be a hobby, but I’ll be a shill for my own hobbies real fast: playing guitar, hiking, writing, reptiles/snakes, tea, and tabletop games.

I’ve previously bought Harney and Sons, but after trying this I think I’m going to stick with the Republic of Tea. The leaves used are mostly whole and so much bigger and more intact than the leaves used by Harney and Sons.

I try to buy locally, which leaves me at the mercy of whatever Jungle Jim’s has in stock. In this case, the brand is “The Republic of Tea.”

I didn’t know anything about it, so I was surprised by how light the brew was (when compared to my other oolongs). It is good, especially if you like lighter brews and green teas. I would describe it as smooth, and almost like a slightly roasted green tea.

Honestly? Anything I find interesting. Introvert problems.

I don’t have an exact science. I use about a teaspoon of leaves for a cup of tea, and steep around 4 minutes for the first infusion. If I use the leaves again, I’ll do 6 minutes the second time. If it comes out too light, I’ll resteep. If it comes out too strong, I’ll add milk.

I had the same issue after adding a Mastodon link to my bio. I used Jerboa to delete my bio, profile photo, and header photo, and then everything worked fine elsewhere. I’ve since reuploaded my photos and edited my bio without consequences. Your mileage may vary, but doing this fixed it for me.

What lol

I used to use Void as my main distro, but then the developer drama made me shy away from it (keep in mind, this was like forever ago and I haven’t looked at Void at all since). After that I floated around trying everything, from Gentoo to the BSDs (I know, not Linux). Nowadays I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I got tired of doing everything manually and OpenSUSE just makes everything so much easier to use, IMO.
