Baya Baya by Safari Duo

Ba-ba-ba-yaaaa just give it a go.

I left tech for private gardening

It’s tough work, but so worth it for me. Sitting behind a desk all day, looking a floating heads, and trying to justify my work was too nebulous—not tangible. As soon as I started volunteering at a museum garden, my mental overwhelm was no more. Gardening forces me to focus on what is in front of me: smelling dirt, plant matter, and hearing the rustle of nature—including birds and insects. I realized what I was lacking was opportunities to manually manipulate the world around me and screen time (at work) followed by more screen time (to unwind) was not it. I recommend taking some courses and leaning on them as you pitch your gardening skills to affluent (higher paying) customers. Bonus points: Whether im actually getting fit while working or not, my body feels way better than how it felt behind a computer.

Over the Garden Wall

It’s cozy. It’s fall vibes. It’s whimsical. Hilarious and deeply philosophical. 10-minute episodes. 10 total episodes. Set in an old wood forest, the story starts with two brothers (in strange outfits) and a frog, lost, looking to find their way home. Elijah Wood, Melanie Lynskey, and fuckin’ Doc from Back to the Future do voice acting! It’s an annual rewatch once October rolls around. Music is also great.

Archivist Gallery match sticks

Great quality. The match sticks are long so no rush to light whatever needs lighting. The splintered wood feels right and crackles and pops as the fire moves up the stick. And they require almost no force to strike. My favorite thing to do is to try to strike is so lightly that it slowly sputters on. Very unique feel.
