Fuck Pence.

Watching Kristi Noem speak did not settle the situation. If anything, she is purposely inflaming it.

Stephen Miller speaks like he’s participating in a poorly run high school debate.
Of course, the United States is currently being governed like a creepy high school clique.
In that sense, his speaking style feels appropriate.

My wife ordered a delivery of flu tests and pregnancy tests.

I keep on trying to figure out if the story on the Trump Class battleship is real because the picture being used of the battleship looks like something I would’ve played on my PC in the 90s.

My toddler has a book she recites to me every time she has to go number 2. It’s called, “Let’s Get This Potty Started”
She has it memorized, but pretends like she is reading it to me.
Who knew pooping could be so adorable.

I’m working on a long form piece for my Substack, but in the meantime I am composing a short form, flash fiction post.
Hopefully I’ll have it done by this evening.

I’ve spent the day writing in my journal while lying in bed with my toddler, with a giant projector screen looping animated classics in front of us.
Taking time off work for the little things is wonderful.
