No more tents in California, the governor and my mayor says. So they just threw people’s tents away so now people are just on the streets with no shelter, their stuff everywhere. Everywhere, people applaud this for being ‘tough on homelessness’, as if being poor is the crime. Institutional neglect and lack of housing, treating poor people this way should be the crime

What’s for breakfast: Chinese tomato eggs but with cherry tomatoes with a huge amount of sambal matah, on top of Filipino style garlic rice

I’m subbed out the eggs for Just Egg, which works well too

My sauce is like, half sambal

If you don’t have sambal matah, you can also use the Lao gan ma tomato chilli jar. Just don’t use the rooster brand sambal oelek, that makes everything too sour to me

@NeonPurpleStar well, personally i have not experienced suburbia until i got here, and it's the most bewildering thing to me

The one thing I wish I knew before I moved to the U.S.: I never want to work in a suburban office park

I honestly believe anyone who’s like ‘kids these days’ or ‘music sucks these days’ just hasn’t talked to anyone young, or sought out any new music

I missed her so much

Most airports: random tourist souvenirs

Portland airport:

#Portland

Bunch of folks complaining that homeless people have now migrated to their neighborhoods. Same people cheering the inhumane removal of homeless people’s stuff. Without housing—where did they think they would go?

I’ve told at least two people today I’m going to do a TikTok of me as a very serious food critic trying American food chains for the first time, so I think I gotta get on that. It won’t be an act, because it will truly be my first time

@ChasMusic @randahl 8VC hires the sons of two well known Russian oligarchs

Every restroom should have a sign like this

I’ve noticed a thing where people leave bad reviews for mainly immigrant run restaurants in bad neighborhoods in SF and Portland, but almost never bad reviews for gentrified food in those neighborhoods

I wonder why the pho shop is personally responsible for the state of the streets and homelessness

Woke up near Mt Shasta.

I fell asleep in the dining car / observation lounge of the Coast Starlight. It was vastly superior to trying to lie flat across three seats on a plane in economy class, in the rare chance there were three seats open that you could move to.

As someone from a tiny country: we’re still in California?!

They just made an announcement: if you’re leaving your seat for any reason, you have to wear shoes

Having breakfast and coffee and looking at this.

Scenes from the Coast Starlight observation lounge at 9:20am: 2 old ladies doing watercolors in a sketch book of the scenery (separately), a child drawing a comic, people playing a tabletop game with little rubber duckies, some poor souls with spreadsheets

Bed hair? Try train bed hair

I like that I can still pop into a place* in my neighborhood** to get any type of film

*one of the best places for film photography anywhere
** in a city with a ridiculously large no of film photographers

California loves camping, except when poor people do it

At this point, any cis man adjacent to computers, VC and Peter Thiel should simply not be allowed to say ‘female’ except about pets, and computer cables
