Recently I’ve been trying to get more into matcha. But the equipment seemed daunting and fragile for someone like me who enjoys travel. I found a travel-friendly set at MontBell, and a good ceremony quality matcha at Nakamura. I’ve only studied it and attended a class, but haven’t made one for myself yet. Can’t wait to try these out tomorrow!
I’m figuring this kind of thing out too. I’m taking a few steps in directions that I can, like using duckduckgo, migrating off of gmail, using this instead of twitter and alternative Reddit. Trying to enjoy blogs on the smoll web. The hardest part was family. I still have to use WhatsApp since that’s the one platform my family collectively uses. But I keep it on my botnet phone which I keep around for work. I still have one gmail but its main purpose is for backup and when I’m using YouTube. I’ve stopped keeping content tied to it, and I’ve stopped posting myself on social media. Making a website instead. Idk. You reach an age and social media apps stop being a fun way to connect with your peers, and becomes a liability.
Mullvad has been my only reliable vpn tbh.
