@niamhgarvey That's much like what's traditionally known as a bran tub 'round these parts - where kids (or sometimes adults) stick their hands in and rummage around for gifts. Always liked that, it does feel nice on the hands.

(Bran tub, because historically, it would be filled with bran and chaff and any other unwanted dry byproducts from the farms.)

@niamhgarvey I have always found plunging my arms into a sack of dried beans to feel amazing and very calming. This is the first I’ve had words to put to the experience.

I credit @alice for their excellent #autusm articles in helping to understand my brain.
