I’m watering them when the vibe feels right. I’m washing those fucks with soap. there are some things I have no desire to know how to do properly. everyone will act like I’m the DEVIL for this. imagine being free from the prison of #plantmom culture?? we don’t have to be subject matter experts on everything.

I used to fuss over my plants almost every day, obsessing over their perfect conditions, moving them around, etc. now I mostly just let them do their thing and they’re fine. Water them when you know in your heart they need water, fertilizer when you feel like it, repot them when you remember to. They’re plants. They’ll be okay. dont stress over it

Being able to grow your own food for free is just the craziest concept. I also have some doomsday prepper DNA in me and gardening satisfies that need for self-sufficiency lmao. My girlfriend’s mom told me recently that plants have survival instincts too, so when you grow your own fruits and vegetables, they try to adapt to what you like so you’re less likely to get rid of them. So also that’s why food you grow yourself tastes so much better.

it’s a labor of love. U think it’s easy and then you’re frantically googling about brown leaves on a polka dot plant. This is probably a good requisite before owning a real pet?

Some of y’all haven’t guzzled water in a way that drizzled down your chin and all down your shirt in a while and it shows.

Emails are the death of all natural human warmth. It’s kind of just as awful to be a fun/funny emailer than to be a cold robot. You can’t get tooo precocious with the signature but signing off with “Cheers” adds a little naughty spice while still being utterly forgettable and benign. It’s kind of an adorable mental image for someone to be raising a glass every time they shoot off another email.

Oh, the lure of San Francisco… I always dreamed I would end up living there as an adult because my parents lived there when they were young and hot in the 90s. I visited a lot growing up and was always enchanted. Ended up going to Berkeley for school and by then the vibe in SF… was already off. Expensive and full of tech bros wearing backpacks at bars and increasingly soulless. The housing crisis is devastating and visible on every street you walk down. I went last October for work and it felt so haunted.
But if you must…
🖤 Scoma’s (fancy lunch in fisherman’s wharf, get the Crab Louie and a martini)
🖤 Tommy’s Joynt (no fuss meat sandwiches & cheap cocktails)
🖤 Vesuvio (perfect bar, iSpy vibes in terms of decor)
🖤 Tommasso’s (best italian. Get the chilled broccoli and some sort of pizza with arugula on it)
🖤 Swensen’s (my favorite ice cream in the world. I miss it and dream of it. Get sticky chewy chocolate or banana)
🖤 House of Nanking (go when you’re starving for Hot Food! you may have to wait a little but it won’t be that long. Get the green beans and if they have congee, by god get that. Also ask for chili oil)
🖤 The East Bay!! (Go to Berkeley and Oakland. They’re better lol)
