Café a la Talossan, March 2025.

[Bråneu Excelsio, UrN]

A very nice cup of coffee.

This week I had the double fortune of having two cups of Geisha coffee, one from Finca Elida in Panama and one from Gesha village, Ethiopia, where this coffee was born. This is usually a once a year experience but it all happened this weekend.

I sipped the Geisha Village one and immediately ask if they could make it To Go, to share at home. Next, I was walking down the historic center of my city thinking out loud: What should I address in my next Café a la Talossan?

Well, first off all, a Royal Shoutout, I'm sure.

Royal Shoutout.

I need to extend my sincere appreciation to King Txec. His leadership has been a breath of fresh air. The "Coffee with the King" initiative is a fantastic way to bring Talossans together. And it definitely was a Fun and Enjoyable Event. And you know we at COFFEE are all about that.
This is the kind of modern, inclusive monarchy that we need. So thank you, Your Majesty.

Bad apple

On a dull and less bright note, I need to talk about the vibes here.

There are times when we can disagree, even argue passionately about the direction of our Kingdom. I often find myself tired at just the tought of arguing about it, and I'm very happy that we as a Kingdom have been able to reach general consensus in a lot of things. Or so.

But there's a line between political discourse and personal harassment, and that line was crossed recently when our Secretary of State became the target of unsettling and inappropriate attention here in our very own Wittenberg.
Those who dedicate their time to making Talossa function deserve respect, especially when their role is to maintain fairness and order. We must stand together to uphold our values of civil and mostly friendly engagement, and ensure that our community remains a constructive environment, not one of intimidation.

I wish I hadn't had to say it but we need to consider enforcing stricter moderation.

We at COFFEE believe in good fun, doing stuff and building something to share with our fellow talossans and why not, our friends outside of Talossa.

Which leds me to my last point:

A Reminder: Vote AVANT!

Elections are here, and I encourage everyone to participate :)

Please consider voting for Avant!, the coalition in which we are members.
We stand for a functional, welcoming, and efficient Talossa.
We at COFFEE believe in making the Kingdom work for its people. (We still lowkey dream of a Kingdom where it doesn't matter that much Who is in power, as long as the best people are in charge of our Institutions, working together. If you lowkey dream like that as well, then COFFEE is for you.)

But lastly, thing is, if you believe in a Talossa where things get done, aand where everyone's voices are taken into account, then AVANT is definitely the choice for you.

Let's keep Talossa strong, fair, and moving forward.

Peace out.
