I spent 90% of my summer writing and lounging at this coffeehouse in La Jolla, CA called The Living Room. Feels like Wes Anderson set blended w the summer beach vibes of an Eric Rohmer film + a possible stop in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. I would gatekeep it but the spot has been blown. And it’s a great place to chat w randoms.

My magical, not-so-secret hideout at school. Come for the $3.00 frothy chai, stay to eavesdrop on chainsmoking hairdressers recounting their lives to the resident artist, sketching away. It's for locals and graduate students, tucked under failing real estate offices on Calder Ave. Limited hours and nothing flashy, except for the old-style bean roaster jammed right next to the door. Reminiscent of Prestogeorge in the Pittsburgh Strip. Pleasant and intimate. Charming baristas. When the weather's warm, perch outside and people-watch from your safe, buried trench. Also merchants of olive oil, tinned fish, and all your italio-american quick fixes.

Love writing and chilling here when I’m in Austin. Cozy homegrown joint in a repurposed house with eclectic seating. You can spend hours here because it feels like you’re in a shared living room with all your cool weird cousins.

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery

I got an IG follow and message last night from a girl I knew in MIDDLE school (12+ yrs ago). I haven’t talked to or seen her since then, but she’d often pop up in my mind, the last time being just a few days ago. All I remember is that I used to enjoy talking to her. the first thing she said in her message was that for some reason, she’d think about me often, and also, for no particular reason… we barely knew each other back then So, we decided we’re gonna hang out soon - don’t know why, but it just feels right. 🔮
