very economical at 6¢ per bookmark, plus using a joker or rules card grants you an approx. 5-15% quirkiness bonus (depending on your base quirky level)

Playing cards are cool. They have history, you can do little sleights, you can be ready to play games, maybe do a little trick, they make a cool sound, so many neat designs, they’re cheap
It’s so kitschy and fun. we’re all trying to get off the phones and it helps to make physical reality engaging doesn’t it? Plus it’s a great way to keep the little cousins busy when you get stuck at the kids table during the holidays. AND! bonus points for learning a flourish or two off youtube and improving your manual dexterity. No reasons not to
i loooove learning new bird calls and bird songs and seeing what little guys might be around if i’m in a different part of the country/world!
(eBird is essential too.. love my birds)
i've met a lot of people just by being out on the trails and not being afraid to ask what birds they’ve seen or if i can tag along with them!
nice bonus being a low-stakes out-in-nature environment with very low associated cost :)
