fuck asian bittersweet all my homies HATE asian bittersweet (ft. 25% of the garlic mustard I removed with my BARE. HANDS. because the roots are too fine to use gloves. The soil is damp and it’s fucking cold and I have a circulatory disorder and I am in hell.)
BUT I am supremely cool and sexy because the older people taking their afternoon walks looooooove talking to me about whatever weird plant stuff I’m doing and today one of those people was an ESL professor from Ecuador at a nearby college and I was like hiiiiiiii do you want to be in my gay little group (unsaid: because we desperately need more Spanish speakers) and she was like oh of course! So gold star for Bongo 🥳🤩😌 and then we had a chat about the historical cycles of anti-immigrant sentiment of rising ethnonationalism and the false perception of a homeland and I recommended she watch A Touch of Spice (the saddest scene of all time is in this movie) and she said it sounded cool and wrote it down! and now I’m gonna eat some rice with spicy pickled bamboo shoots because I’m worth it.
#if I were a real park hippie I would have eaten the garlic mustard tbh#I need Parks to give me some PLANTS stat because I’m worried about erosion on the slopes and we just had that big storm/flooding#pulling out bittersweet is righteous and good but I don’t want the entire slope to collapse so I have to leave the honeysuckle and ivy :/#hi does anyone want to give me money to buy native plants. I can name the plants after you if you want.#dispatches from the park
