I left tech in 2020 burnt out from beige walls. Currently working outside doing residential compost pickup part-time and planting food forests. I opened an etsy shop turning recycled computer pieces into craft supplies, but itโs been a slow start.
I love this life, but I need just a little more income to make it work, open to suggestions.

I do UX design and creative strategy (catchall idk) at a small design & development studio. We rule so if anyone needs a new site for their company hmu haha.
I got here roundabout and have worked in art, farmers markets, and nonprofit comms before this โ I think having a diverse work bg (and being a good writer) is super helpful for what I do.

Itโs a national treasure and theyโve raised over $4 million dollars for AIDS research and prevention. And the place is stupid fun. Great replacement for big box, Amazon, Shein or Temu type outlets if youโre near Philly.

Wonder why developers get everything they want? Realtors association of America is the #2 lobbying organization in the US. Why do pharmas get away with so much? #3 is Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America. #1 is Chamber of Commerce so business holds the biggest seat at the table. Dunno if this is considered conspiracy theory or conspiracy fact.

You grow a tall thing like corn, you grow a climbing thing like pole beans that uses the tall thing like a trellis then you grow a squash that is low with big leaves that serve as shade and protection for the other two. Itโs an indigenous practice, so traditionally itโs done with corn, but Iโm very curious about adapting it to quinoa or sorghum.
