We did a coffee cupping and it was a lot of fun!

I ordered a flight of different roast levels and processing methods from Alma Coffee.

It was my first time doing a cupping so I tried to make sure I followed procedure as best I could. I watched James Hoffmann's videos on methods as well as tasting.

My wife was kind enough to join me even though she's not a coffee person. She also watched the tasting video.

We didn't go into it with the expectation that we'd be able to nail every tasting note. Just kind of wanted to understand what sorts of flavors we do and don't like and put them in the context of other flavors.

My wife loves Mountain Dew so I really thought she'd go for the lighter roasts. But not so! She found them kind of weird. She opted for medium-dark flavors. I ended up liking the lighter roasts and more fermented stuff as well as darker roasts. Generally, I've found I don't really know what to do with medium roasts. So I avoid them lol

I like making light roasts as Aeropress or pour over. Dark roasts I use for French press, espresso, and Turkish coffee. A few of my brewing methods really need some more refining. But it was a lot of fun to do a tasting at home!

Theoretically I enjoy living with people but unfortunately when you tell people you're a neuroatypical raccoon with twelve ongoing hobbies, completely random work hours, and a series of admittedly unusual lifelong compulsions they tend to hear that and go "oh haha you're trying to be Quirky okay" and then save their ten million questions and concerns for when you can't run away

The weather has been so nice lately, so we took a walk to one of our favorite cafes. 🥰

30 nym challenge day 27: What are your non-academic hobbies?

I enjoy knitting, playing piano (although I don't play as much as I used to), playing tennis, running, reading, going to cafes and eating little treats.

My friend mentioned the other day that she has started playing "coffee shop jazz music" in her apartment, and doing her best to essentially mimic the vibes of a chill artisan coffee shop in her own home.

And I thought that idea was BRILLIANT so for the last few days I've been playing jazz in my apartment throughout the day, and... well...

Sometimes making one tiny little change to your life really does make a significant difference.

People joke about ADHD all the time, even swear up and down they totally think they also have it, but then if you ask for an accommodation, to please please please provide things in fucking writing, EXACTLY what they want and need, you will even work it out WITH them, like they promised they would do — repeatedly over and over, and then you don't get it people really will fucking be like:

I am using the incorrect bathroom (TM) to place my shelving and store my things. Homegirl literally removed various sundries and toiletries from a CLOSED CABINET and SHELF because she's interested in boundaries and accountability for my mess.

I said months ago I wanted to improve things for her comfort level and needed a written list of what precisely that fucking looked like in order to achieve it and not miss anything she deemed important. I explained how ADHD works, why I needed a written reference. Why I had to have it laid out, and if something needed changing we needed to write it all out. I would've made the list myself, but they said they would make it for the whole house to hold up their end of things. And, thinking this was a very reasonable adult solution to keeping the house in good shape, I said okay, come up with the list of expectations and what is needed and that way we can update how we handle chores. Awesome. I will do that to uphold my end.

No list ever gets made or drafted or anything despite my bringing it up, knowing we need to do it, but I DO get berated for failing to meet expectations and boundaries that were never fucking provided or delivered and include "don't store toiletries in this particular bathroom because I don't like it."

I can't believe I am a goddamn adult who gets treated like an idiot child for expecting adult communication instead of snide ass passive aggressive bullshit and basic respect for my things.

Because when I fucking get home, my shelving has been removed and a cabinet emptied of my things and placed in the "correct" bathroom.

Oh shit she solved it, this doesn't look cluttered at all!

What a vast improvement to storing things in appropriate storage!

I’m so happy my newest bag of coffee was delivered yesterday oh my god. I’ve been trying REALLY HARD to make this one pre-ground light roast I was given work by making it in my aeropress. It just kept tasting SO SOUR no matter what I did.

I’ve been trying to teach myself to appreciate lighter roasts and not use any cream or sugar. I fully believe I can do it but god that one coffee is not good !

Made a cup this morning with the dark roast I got yesterday. Freshly ground and brewed in the French press, served with cream and sugar as usual. It was so comforting and good TT^TT

if you feel guilty about something you love because it contributes to capitalism:

don’t.

capitalism needs you to be tired. it needs you to be so exhausted that you can barely think of anything outside of work, so that you can’t imagine how things could be better.

if you do things you love, you keep that energy for yourself. that’s energy you can turn outwards. that’s energy you can use to grow and help others and be human.

obviously we wanna harm reduce. obviously in an ideal world, that thing you love has zero negative impact. but you can’t work towards that world if you aren’t working on liberating yourself first.

Starting The Familiar today. let’s see how this goes.

traveling this month means primarily interacting with strangers and thus primarily getting read as a dude, and the funniest consequence of this is that I am somehow killing it with younger guys and older ladies socially. the former are fistbumping me while going "hey bro" and the latter are like "what a bright/polite young man"
