i’m really falling in love with talking on the phone.. for multiple reasons, but mostly i noodle around the house when i’m talking and then get absorbed by the conversation and when the call ends i wake up and my house is clean and tidy in new and unexpected ways

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
