sometimes i think about the history of coffee culture in islam and how it spread like it’s so funny

  • discovered by sufis who decided it was a miracle from Allah since it allowed them to stay up late into the night for night worship
  • miracle beans = UNLIMITED DHIKR
  • cue scholars debating for years about whether it’s haram or halal and if it should be classified as an ‘intoxicant’ or not
  • fast forward to 16th century ottoman empire, where a woman had the legal right to divorce her husband if he failed to provide her with enough coffee
  • europeans called it the “mohammaden gruel” or “devil’s drink” bc they believed it to be a “bitter invention of satan and his followers”
  • fast forward to pope clement viii finally giving in and tasting it to see what the hype is about and then stating: “This Satan’s drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it.”
  • pope clement viii then proceeds to BAPTIZE THE COFFEE BEANS

GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE

incredible how much housework you can get done if you take a chance and believe in yourself and also have fifteen other much more pressing responsibilities

This is both amazing and profoundly irritating - the exact writing equivalent of that thing artists do - you know, how they’ll mess up anything that’s on expensive paper and planned in every single detail but get them doodling during a boring lesson and suddenly they’re Michel-bloody-angelo.

What do you mean unhinged, these are great suggestions. Ordering my plush duck now.

So for cleaning the tavern, you have to set the scene. It's time to wind down for bed. You're not just cleaning the tavern, you're doing closing duties after a long day of work. Play bardcore music. You're a tavern wench during the Renaissance. Set a timer for 10 minutes. 10 minutes isn't an overwhelming time commitment. You could get those dishes washed and bartops wiped down in 10 minutes.

Adding my own;

Cluttered home with no energy to deal with it but it’s still bothering you?

1) I’ve survived the apocalypse, this is either a fallout shelter or someone else’s abandoned home I’ve take refuge in (I’ve actually hung up a Fallout Shelter sign)

2) imagine it as ghibli animated clutter. It makes the imperfection feel characteristic and not so bad
