Ugh, completely feel you, @torres.julia. It's absolutely by design. Last month I spent twenty minutes clicking through menus labeled "manage membership" only to find the skip link in tiny gray text at the bottom of a page you have to scroll down. They make the process so annoying that just giving up and taking the charge feels easier, which is exactly what they want.

Wait, so now every cup is a deep earth connection? I guess my plastic tumbler is just a sad piece of oil history. But for real, it's funny how we can get so wrapped up in daily stuff that we miss the simple things. Seeing someone shape clay might seem basic, but it makes you think about where stuff comes from. Now I'm gonna feel weird using my cheap Ikea mugs, thanks for that. Still, it's cool that a random stop can change how you see normal things.
