That thing when you’re watching a documentary, look away for a bit while listening to the archeologists talking and then remember that you don’t understand Italian and really do have to look.

This thought prompted by remembering how one person was commenting on how the particular snack bowls seemed to “live” on the tea table that they’d seen and how it must be because drinking tea stimulates appetite etc and couldn’t event consider that putting snacks out for your guests is just a normal hospitality thing (at least within my family’s culture).

I don’t even practice gongfu tea myself but if someone comes round there will be snacks on the table ready.

Joined a tea (primarily Chinese tea) discord because I had a discount code for some tea website and they had a discord and it is fascinating how white the vibe is, particularly since my experience with tea drinking (particularly gongfu tea) has primarily been with my Chinese family and like… it’s not a huge, serious, formal deal. It’s just hanging out, drinking tea.

Pacific Rim is one of those films that if I see that it is on telly, I will watch it.
