Giving a shout-out to some stuff that I love and that I want to share!

Tech

Obsidian: a simple, infinitely customizable Markdown-based text editor
Arc browser: a web browser with the UI I was looking for to stay focused and organized on the internet (though it is Chrome-based)
Unhook: Chrome extension that removes YouTube recommended and shorts
Minimal LinkedIn: a Chrome extension that blocks the cluttery content
Spark Email: email client with a UI I just love
Maccy: a very handy clipboard manager for Mac
Warp: a terminal with block-based UI for commands; it just makes sense!
Todoist: a to-do app that has helped me stay organized since I was in high school

Cheerful Plants: a simple plant tracking app with a free version that doesn’t push the paid version
TIDAL: a music streaming app with a much simpler and cleaner UI than others, supposedly pays the artists more per stream(?)
Marginalia: an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial
Unread: beautiful add-free RSS reader for Mac, iPhone, iPad
Rocket: a free emoji picker for Mac with Slack-style shortcuts

Reebok Nano (training shoes)
Lunette menstrual cup: super soft and comfy for both lounging and exercising, chemical-free medical-grade silicone, never have to buy pads/tampons, only have to empty it every 8 hours, cost-effective and eco-friendly in the long run (saves over $100/year by not buying disposable products and I’ve had mine since 2017!)
Thinx period underwear: also super soft and comfy, cost-effective and eco-friendly in the long run, a reasonable amount of absorption capacity, a nice backup for when I don’t have my menstrual cup handy or an alternative on light days
