Have fun! If you like butter, parmesan, and truffles, get your friends to take you to Superbite...

Definitely! I’m excited to see how many people show up.

Yay! See you there!

I’m really excited now that it looks like the march will be inclusive and that some challenging but necessary conversations are happening.

Portland!!

Yes. Many parts are developing. And many parts of developing countries are actually better off in many ways than parts of the US. Part of why the phrase, first world problems, drives me insane..

Or, when things are happening to you, it is because you are still learning the lesson...

But you can be both. I’m happy being single. I’m sad and lonely in that state sometimes. Just like people in relationships can be mainly happy and sometimes sad and lonely. But being told all the platitudes isn’t listening and isn’t allowing someone to share what can be hard feelings because they make us feel weak.…

Or the, it happens when you aren’t looking crap. Like I’m just going to be walking down the street snd some dude is going to jump out and be magically great. And that even though I’m not looking, even though I’m not trying to engage in a relationship, because lord forgive you if you are TOO eager or show your interest…

Mary Roach is a fantastic writer who covers non-fiction topics in a really relatable way. I love her books.

I was you and am you. I’ve been dating two years solid (living in a place with a paucity of single men prior) and can’t get past the second date. Have, with a few exceptions, always been like this. here is what I have seen—it is luck and figuring out what crap you will put up with. my bs tolerance is super low. out of…

I feel you. I lived abroad for a long time and watched things unfolding in the states like, whoa. my feeling of disonnet continued when I returned home. America seemed a meaner place than before. the compassion seemed to have bled out.

It depends on the people. I had a friend who has known me for ten years start in on me about me not wanting kids. badgering me to the point where I became visibly upset and started crying because e wouldn’t let up after an hour. I have had other people (colleagues) tell me to have just one. like a puppy or something.…

Here are my snuggly bugs.

Oh funny i’m also a super taster, but mainly had to train myself to like stuff that was really bitter. I love spicy food, but sometimes I think that’s a pride thing because I’ve lived places where they on expect foreigners to like spicy....

Dating is awful. I’m in Portland and my friends have decided Portland is not my market. I’ve had guys look visibly disappointed when I show up, even though all my pics are recent AND I hAve full length ones in my workout clothes. No secrets, guys.

It is seriously good. They did an interview with Jenny Yang after the Bon Appetit video nonsense and her great response.

Podcast —Racist Sandwich! They delve into the politics around food and restaurants and all that! So good!

Beer Lao dsrk, my favorite that I finally found at an Asian grocer. While eating spicy green beans from the Mission Chinese cookbook.

Looked again. Still don’t like the cuffs.
