Shower mushrooms, mercury retrograde, and gratitude for small problems.

Here in Hollywood, it’s earthquake season and Mercury Retrograde, which in our culture is also a season of sorts. If you don’t understand what that means, I will illuminate you through story.

The other day I got an email from a weird address. Like, a dark web, encrypted type address. It was sent to my personal, private email, not through Substack or social media DMs. The subject was: License plate exposed!

It seems that when I made a tiktok video from the Trader Joe’s parking structure, making fun of myself for locking my keys in the car, I’d accidentally flashed my license plate. I watched the video again and still thought my body was blocking it, but I guess not well enough. So I did what the message suggested and took it down. Still, I wondered why this anonymous person went through the trouble of sending the license plate number, make, model and VIN of my car. They mentioned having my home address too.
