    Just eat the notebook. Page by page, boil the cover to make it palatable, absorb its nutrition, absorb its power! Poop out the remains. Return them to the original owner. All problems are neatly solved and the blood is washed cleanly off your hands.

    I’ve gotten pretty good at compartmentalizing. Even if I think management does some profoundly stupid things, I’m just there to do a job and collect a paycheck. As long as they don’t run the company into the ground, it’s not my problem.

    This is massively over-generalized. I’m sure some people on the spectrum do this. I don’t talk to a lot of people, I am very reclusive, so I couldn’t give you an actual irl baseline from experience, but I’m on the spectrum. I have a job with plenty of rules I don’t think make any sense. I have a vested interest in keeping my job, so I follow the rules. One of my coworkers has been in the same job for over a decade, and she is quite proficient at following rules she personally doesn’t like or understand. She wouldn’t have a job here if she didn’t.




  • You would be surprised. Dandelion for example is a plant that thrives in cities, is entirely edible, and you can roast it’s taproot into a delicious coffee substitute.

    I started out with dandelion actually. I made a whole plant tea out of it heat dried. It entirely transformed the plant into something that smelled delicious, almost this floral toasted honey smell.

    Just don’t take from places where a lot of pets get walked, right next to roads, or sprayed. Wash everything and anything you take home throughly, and research research research before you start picking.


  • Foraging. It costs almost nothing to learn about the plants that grow around you and what you can do with them. I’ve been doing it for about 5 years now, and spent maybe $80 on a good hori hori and $40 on a good mortar and pestle when I wanted to get serious. Neither of those are necessary to forage. A good field guide is something you can order at your local library. The main cost is time studying at home and on the field.

    Here’s some amazing pesto I made with wild mustard garlic greens.

    And the before picture

    I can not recommend the hobby enough. I’m happy to try and answer any questions you might have.
