Boyfriend update, new Karen meme, pickles, Trump tweets, and big government failure
Pickles are overrated. I said what I said.
Hey everyone,
Hope you’re all keeping your heads up during this difficult time.
I realized yesterday, after staying up to do an 11:30pm television hit and spending three hours on a long-form freelance piece after my day job ended at 5, that I’m one of the luckiest people in the world. Because I love political editorial journalism, so it really does not feel like work. (Insert that cheesy saying about never having to work a day in your life if you love what you do).
However, Friday is my last day at the Washington Examiner. I’ll be focusing on part-time journalism and freelance work while I figure out my next steps, so don’t expect anything to change too drastically.
My boyfriend is busy in full study mode with his huge med school test up in just two weeks. I cooked REAL CHICKEN — not frozen — and made him dinner last night during his only break. Still, I’ve had a bit more free-time, and I’m using it to read more, as well as starting to listen to Audible for the first time.
Send me any suggestions you have. I always love hearing from readers, especially of this newsletter.
Stay safe, and we’ll talk again next week.
Meme: My ideology in one picture.
Media Corner: I joined Jim Lokay on Fox5DC to discuss the president’s latest Twitter tirades targeting MSNBC host Joe Scarborough pushing a debunked conspiracy theory that he murdered a congressional aide. This is my not impressed face.
