Straddling the border of Utah and Idaho, Clear Creek is little more than a reservoir for the rings of dust trailing the cattle trucks. A mountain hamlet that is the perfect backdrop for a forgotten breed of men who move like rusty automatons from one ranch to another. A DEEPER WAY ACROSS #wip

Michael had a horrible night None of us slept. Clinic is going to be insane because of all of our weather closures and Beni’s is having surgery tomorrow. Me: time to cancel all my plans go into survival mode. Twenty minutes later, I’m making a pineapple rice stir fry. Why am I like this? #BWG

After a shit-show of a day, I was making dinner and Michael’s dad didn’t know what enchiladas were. I told him they’re wet tacos 🌮 So that concludes one of the most miserable days of my life. #BWG

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read Edgar Allan Poe in front of a crackling fire in a mysterious Victorian mansion on a cold winter's night during a full moon with the sound of wolves in the distance whilst enjoying a plate of freshly-baked croissants?

One of the nurses on my unit gifted me a link to the New York Times. I hadn’t realized how much I needed an injection of intellectual sanity. It was like a hug for my brain. #BWG

Had Republicans had just stuck to hammering Democrats on fraud they would've had a potent political weapon. Instead they turned it into a hate campaign against Somalis and an orgy of violence against Minnesotans and now we're getting statements like this 👇
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
