How not to be hated by your barista

My first ever [successful] latte art

Alternate title: Things to consider the next time you’re in a coffee shop.

I have now been some form of barista for over a year, and have been a full time one for nearly four months. It’s not all fun and foamy leaf art, however.

“The Problem with False Feminism”- A Response.

So there’s an article circulating around Tumblr right now.

I read some, then I am given a general thought and am told to write about it for five to ten minutes. It yields interesting results. Examples: Continue reading “Ramblings from Oregon”
