I love drinking tea! It is so good! I also have a tendency to save the teabag and use it for a lil skincare in addition to the delightful effects on the interior body/soul! Most teas are antioxidant rich and full of tannins and other compounds that are really beneficial.
So yes! Calm my acne, yerba mate and assam! Calm my nerves, chamomile! Turn me on, damiana! Let's go!
any time of day, mostly at night. whatever ails me, i research herbs that will heal me and i make tea from them. i also find that i crave coffee less. it's been very therapeutic. not just the tea itself, but also little things like going shopping for teacups and reading about what nature provides us for healing <3
I worked in coffee for many years and I donβt really want to drink it ever again!
Drinking tea has saved me time, eliminated mess, and I feel less burnt out at the end of the day. Having a cup of tea before an event makes me feel a little euphoric. I like to start the morning with a dark oolong, then have a lemonbalm/mint/tulsi, sometimes Iβll have an oceanic green in the evening. I really like a dried fruit tea with rosehips, hibiscus, and lemon peel.
1. Scroll the "everyone" feed (almost completely ignore that home/friends page)
2. Like gratuitously
3. Follow people who post things you like
4. I try to be brave and comment when feeling moved I don't search or look for anything in particular, personally, unless I'm about to post something and curious if others have done so already. Just let the river float by and enjoy the ride
I know slavoj zizek is a fucking loser now, but his movie A Pervert's Guide to Ideology was the first piece of media that began to rub away the sheen/shellac of pretense that the world operates smoothly. It was my first time really engaging with a Marxian analysis and sitting with it. I was in high school, and it set me up to care about critical theory. From this movie, I'd read Mark Fisher's really quick book "Capitalist Realism: is there no alternative?" Fisher grounds a lot of his theory in culture/media in a very similar way to Zizek.
After that, I'd follow recommendations made by others in the thread!
