I too was raised in this asylum
I’ve infiltrated southeastern Pennsylvania’s underground fern network. I’ve befriended the dealers. I’ve transplanted their fronds. I’ve harvested their fiddleheads. The revolution is uncoiling
After I posted that viral “third places” video in 2022, I gained around 60,000 followers across platforms. Since then, I’ve posted way less to spend more time hanging with my family and gardening—and I’m happier than ever. Just a reminder that real life joy beats online clout!
10 years ago my best friend and started a weekly group like this in his coffee shop where “people of all walks of life could freely talk about their beliefs.” In the beginning we had a ton of people, but over time the lack of structure and singular purpose made it fall apart.

Just a reminder to buy native plants from your local plant nursery that benefit the ecosystem, rather than invasive, homogenized plants from Home Depot that destroy it!
Whenever I see tiktoks of someone finding a stray animal or some rare treasure my default assumption is that they set the whole thing up for a viral video until proven otherwise
Over the past year I’ve been ripping out tons of invasive English ivy from our woods. Now this spring I’ve noticed native yellow trout lilies and springbeauty flowers popping up everywhere!
Folks, the fern fronds are FRONDING

"Stop the development! We don't need more traffic!" I shout from my car, which is definitely not part of traffic
Still waiting for one brave brand with nothing to lose to post about OJ
I just decapitated two ticks that were crawling up my leg. ‘Twas a warm winter. Their numbers shall be great this year. Be vigilant my dudes.
Gen Z may not know this, but there were once coffee shops that only served drip coffee, had a random old couches that were never clean, stayed open until 4am, and their clientele was composed of exclusively college students and recovering alcoholics And they were awesome
I have to slap myself in the face from time to time to avoid intellectualizing boomerisms like this

What’s hilarious is that most of this person’s top tweets are just reposted tiktoks and tiktok screenshots lmao

It never ceases to amaze me how social media incentivizes people to post “takes” that are nothing more than their personal experiences masked as universal truths

I’ve led a pretty fulfilling life, but no relationship, experience, or accomplishment matches the unique fulfillment of parenting. My wife and I have two kids under two. Whether they’re being cute or cranky, and whether we’re energized or exhausted, each day feels like a gift.

Polarizing viral video clips taken from long-form videos or streams have such a powerful gravitational pull that even the smartest people get roped into engaging them, despite often having little to no context. The discourse is just too tempting!
