I’m in NYC for the summer after many years away, and it’s been disorienting to realize how many of my favorite spots are gone (vote democratic socialist to repair our fraying social fabric, plz!) But living in this city is all about finding reliable comforts amidst the mayhem, and for me that is vegan Mexican food. I’ve missed Mexican food so much, because it’s not really a London genre like it is here- I’ve had more than one UK burrito that tastes like weed. And as I mentioned I’m also a pig mother, so I’m not gonna be chomping down on a pork belly birria taco platter with my homies. Jajaja meets all my needs, has several locations and is fun to say.

🌮I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so Mexican food is an instrumental part of my diet and overall happiness. Instead of wading into the endless LA v.s. NYC food debate, I just want to share some love for a few of my local favorites: Factory Tamal for unparalleled chicken mole tamales (buy an extra dozen and freeze ‘em for later), NeNe’s Taqueria for hype-proof birria, and For All Things Good for tlayudas + fresh masa to-go.

😃grab food at masala y maiz, see some jazz in juarez, take a morning stroll around parque de chapultepec then grab food at Lardo nearby, see some opera, try taking public transit at least once, if you want to meet people get on bumble or hinge and say you’re looking for people to hang with, Kiin Thai-Viet Eatery is one of my fave spots

It’s not that easy. It takes work. And it’s a power you must not abuse. But if you can give a fuck about the right things- your loved ones, your passions, the needs of an ailing world- and not about the wrong ones- OPP aka other people’s perceptions- you are freed from a certain sort of tyranny and your life force will be tripled. Most people have inherited judgements about the world that even they don’t understand, so why should you? You’re stronger, smarter and chicer than that! And you’ll be shocked by how much of what you thought would always be your reality can be shifted using the renewed energy that comes from DGAF.
Since life is not linear, sometimes you’ll think you’ve nailed not giving a fuck and then something anxiety inducing or unkind or even mundane but alarming will happen and you SUDDENLY really really do give a fuck. That’s okay. But returning to a baseline level of DGAF is a good goal, so keep your eye on the prize.
Actually, fuck it- who needs a prize anyway?

What are men good for? Singing, apparently!
I’ve always been partial to women’s voices- Lilith Fair was my first live music experience, which tells you all you need to know about why I’m this way- but the boys are feeling feelings this summer and I’m okay with that!
Role Model, MJ Lenderman, Cameron Winter (plus Experience, a new album from my husband, Attawalpa) have been the soundtrack to writing, swimming and riding to work across the George Washington Bridge.
If I ever have a son, I hope we writes a song called “Mama On The GW Bridge.”

Last time I recommended kittens. I still recommend kittens. But I’ve expanded my roster and wow, pigs are amazing. They’re not easy pets- they require a lot of focus, patience and gentle discipline- but they are so fucking smart and they have wonderful senses of humor. Victor, my boy, has a passion for unplugging lamps and yanking them off the table, then running away laughing. It’s not a bit that would work for everyone- he’s sort of an Andy Kaufman absurdist- but I think he’s hilarious.
