My 4 yo daughter and I were discussing the future in the car today. She said “mommy, I’m going to be president someday and everyone will vote for me and I’ll make everything right.” I said that I believed that. Then she said “and I can bite the head off a wolf.” So..

Today I watched my 5 yo set down a Disney Princess Mylar balloon and jab the plastic stick into it until it popped. Then she began to cry. I asked “Charlie, honey, why did you do this?” She replied “I don’t know! Everything is hard right now.” And she is correct.

It is easy to dismiss the president's continued insistence that if we tested less we'd have fewer cases as unintelligent. We need to remember that it is also craven and dangerous. The message he's sending is that he wants the numbers to look better, no matter the cost in lives.

Hi @JustinMcElroy , you were recording so I stole your car. Sorry, its just got better stations programmed in and the car seat was already in it. So, I love you and thank you. If you need your car, well, I have it, so, take mine I guess.

We are saying goodbye to my Grandma Jody today. She was a strong woman leader in a time when it was even more difficult to be one. And she raised @JustADudeSmirl to be a great dad, for which I’m especially grateful. If you have any extra love today, please send it his way.

Overheard just now from my daughter’s room where my two kids are playing: “Ok Cooper, let’s go, whoever makes a hole in the wall first wins!”

Well, 37 isn’t usually a landmark year, I suspect, but I figure I’ll remember this birthday better than many others in years to come. I’m thankful for everyone who has helped cross the social distance today and made me feel so loved.

On @Sawbones an analogy about the COVID vaccines was discussed, courtesy of @JustinMcElroy , that I actually think might be helpful for anyone feeling uncertainty. The vaccines were not rushed in the sense that they are unsafe, but they did happen fast. How is this so? (1/5)

Before bed, instead of reading a book as per our routine, Charlie has begun to occasionally dictate a short story of her own to me to write down. Complete with illustrations she instructs me to draw. It’s just the best. Also I really can’t draw. Like anything.

If you see pictures of fellow humans suffering, the first question should be “how can I help?” If your initial response is “but what country are they from,” you are complicit. Donate to @RAICESTEXAS to help with the humanitarian crisis our administration has created at the border

Me to Charlie after she attempts a cartwheel: “You stuck the landing!” Charlie: “Or sticked” Me: “No, it’s stuck” Charlie: “Or sticked” Me: “No, just stuck” Charlie: “Ok, Mom... (under her breath) Or sticked.”

I have spent the last few evenings, after the kids are asleep, reading comic books, watching MASH and writing mediocre poetry. If @JustinMcElroy stays gone much longer I fear I’ll fully regress to high school me. At least my 90s clothes will be on trend.

Political rallies are a bad idea right now. No matter what else you believe, this is a fact. End of story. I do happen to feel that the president is a racist, fascist, misogynistic, hate-filled butthole. But even if I didn’t, as a scientist, I would still say this is a bad idea.
