Coleslaw doesn't count," may be the wisest thing I've read all week. There's an old-school brand of self-care that absolutely begins with a grocery cart full of produce and a faint hope that hydration and bell peppers can solve existential crises. Thinking of you. ❤️

I am definitely of the camp that believes a bell pepper and some electrolytes can do wonders 🌪️

Not a book comment, but I absolutely loved the second season of Rivals!! Watched the whole thing in a few days!

I’m so sorry for your loss. On a lighter note, my parents are currently in St. Helena and my dad texted me a picture of a book. I saw green shelves in the background and called him immediately: “OMG are you at Wild Plum Books?!” He couldn’t believe I knew where he was and I explained how much I love your substack and thus your bookstore although I’ve yet to make a trip to visit in person. I was kicking myself for not suggesting your shop when I knew they’d be in the area but I’m so happy they wandered in on their own!

Carly!! That is the funniest story about your dad and the bookstore!! I can't believe it and wish I were there to meet him. That brings me such joy. Xx
