God, I am just sort of broadly smitten with the work on Alysia Mazzella. It’s got it all: beauty, meaning, a really, very large appreciation for bees. There’s a formalized way of accepting sliding scale pay-what-you-can payments and initiating barters; there’s also a DIY option where you can learn to do this all for yourself. I dare you to read Alysia’s “ethos” page and not fall completely in love with candles, specifically these candles.
Friend of the ‘sletter Garrett Colton is really good at finding really good stuff. To wit: the Instagram account from which he sells it all, called Good Stuff. Right now, he’s running a fundraiser to help a family dealing with childhood cancer (ugh). Check it out and someone please pick up this book by George Nakashima (pictured above), signed by the author. (And if you need a reminder about who that is, see this post “Seeing Wood” from last year.)

This video isn’t new, but I still want to share it with you. It’s an interview with Eiji Mitooka, a Japanese train designer who created the Ikebus, a wee electric city bus for the Toshima neighborhood in Tokyo. When your design ethos is “kids should be able to draw it,” I’m sold.
Side-eye.
By the way, do we like ending on a little internet-y treat like this? Or would you rather have a fourth real-thing?
I thought I signed in!
