So I got this brutally utilitarian tea kettle/infuser set up for like $15 bucks a while back... its basically just pyrex, pretty sure, with the metal insert infuser section.
Had made a bit of instant coffee with it, and uh haha, just tore up some teabags I had had, thats like loose leaf, right?
No, no it isn't.
Finally got proper loose leaf tea to use in it, and it is just fantastic.
Its like the one element of my life where I can't escape hilariously evil capitalism.
Its not that I hate myself, its that I wake up every day furious to be living in this system.
I do give myself grace on things that I just actually cannot find a less evil alternative to, things I cannot go without, without that likely leading to my death.
