"I highly recommend touching grass. I've touched so much grass recently."

- Fidget Cube Guru

🍽️🤑🐦

In this fidgety chirp-a-thon, Fidget Cube Guru, Kenzient, and Tink (a green parakeet) split their bills overthinking about tipping culture, the highs and lows of owning a parakeet, and the subtle art of giving the right amount of f*cks.


Chirp chirp:

  • tipping culture/etiquette in the Canadian restaurant industry
  • is having a small-scale, niche audience nowadays better than virality and fame?
  • the widespread lack of empathy in online interactions and why we need to listen to each other
  • the joys of touching grass—"Earthing"
  • letting go of the stories we tell ourselves and giving ourselves the freedom to fail
