# Pls can you give me a job

```
YUBABA: I can’t believe I took that oath. To give a job to anyone who asks.
```

{% endcode %}

Yubaba (of *Spirited Away*, it's come up [before](/2025/03/10.md#spirited-away)) is honor-bound to ^ this, and I think about it a lot. Two reasons: I seem to look like someone who can give out jobs; and: Miyazaki's cosmologies are suuuuper super resonant for me, in that way of "logical, approachable infrastructures that reward creativity and attention" (a line from <https://fly.io/customers/lightward>). *The Boy and the Heron* felt to me like a letter of instruction/admonition/continuity/hope, sent forward in time from a past self to a next self.
