Time for an #introduction. I'm a Scientific Programmer & Educator at the University of Arizona. Before that, I was a remote postdoc studying plant demography and before that I was a PhD student studying the impacts of climate and herbivory on #tea (Camelia sinensis). I'm a contributor to the @ropensci package #webchem and a few other #rstats packages. I love foraging, eating, and practicing #gongfucha. From CA, currently in AZ.
i'm challenging myself to make a teapot every day.
Here's day #7
Teapots are a symbol of friendship and hospitality, so I made this Red Maple Leaf teapot for my friend, who lives in Ontario, Canada.
This is unfired porcelain. decorated and ready for the kiln!

Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.
I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.
This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

Hi! I'm Morgan, a #Software engineer living in western #EU. I work as a lead developer, with an increasing focus on the #HumanFactors involved in making software. I'm also pursuing a #Psychology degree with the aim of becoming a better #UX #UI designer. When I write code I use #Java and #Typescript but i'd like to go back to #Ada someday.
I also love #Music (yes, all of it)! Share your favorite song with me! 🎶 I'm learning how to play #Drums and might dip my toes into #MusicProduction in the future.
I've been interested in decentralized tech like #Matrix and #IPFS for quite some time. And I still hold a tiny bit of hope that #Blockchain might yield something good eventually (but I don't have a pyramid scheme to sell you I promise).
Also I drink way too much #Tea .
Extra keywords that didn't fit nicely into the prose:
#IT #Ergonomics #Usability #IxD #AdaLang #France

At night, we've taken to having a Yorkshire sleepytime brew tea 🍵
Our wife kept pointing out, quite correctly, that it's actually called bedtime brew.
We came up with the below solution 🤭
El mar de provoca mucho sueño.

Has Britain fallen out of love with tea? Consumption in the U.K. is now one-quarter of what it was in the 1970s. That might not be entirely to do with changing tastes: The price of a packet of 80 tea bags has increased by 11 percent in a year, thanks to climate change. For inews.co.uk, Nell Frizzell writes about the complicated relationship between Brits and tea. "It is tempting to see the death of tea as somehow symbolic of the end of a particular type of Britishness. A nostalgic version of the nation held in cricket clubs and church halls, in tea dances and doilies," she writes. "But it is also possible to see the adoption of tea as a part of British history that was, at times, inglorious, undignified and harmful." We want to know, what's your favorite hot drink?

I made some cold brewed Sencha green tea in the fridge, which I brewed over the course of 48 hours.
I love, how the tea leaves swirl in the bottle, when agitated.
The tea has a strong sencha aroma, is slightly sweet and unami and has absolutely no adstringency or bitterness.
It`s an amazing summer time drink. Now all I need is some summer time weather...
I'm Charli! I'm a bisexual trans girl on a quest to improve my mental health, find more of my authentic self, make new community connections, and maybe get a bit closer to happiness as I go.
I live in Oregon's Portland metro. I love punk rock and 80s new wave music. I'm almost knowledgeable enough with Linux to be annoying. And I can hyperfixate over old shorthand textbooks like you wouldn't believe.
I struggle with anxiety, depression, sensory processing, depersonalization, and the typical difficulties of navigating life while being neurodivegent. I believe talking about mental health shouldn't be stigmatized.
