6 years ago I went to sleep with my diseased end stage cystic fibrosis lungs for a final time. The following evening they were removed and replaced with healthy donor lungs. I’ll never take for granted a peaceful night sleep that’s free of coughing and gasping for breath.

I've been meaning to start the magnus archives podcast for months now. I've just checked and it's at 190+ episodes at 20+ mins each 😭😭

Wearing masks isn't a partisan issue — it's a patriotic act that can save countless lives. That's why I signed an executive order today issuing a mask mandate on federal property. It's time to mask up, America.

Having a two year old nap then wake up in the corner of the room while you're trying to concentrate on a Teams call is quite interesting

Bribery is a beautiful thing
Deciding whether or not to go to sleep or watch another episode of the office has been my biggest struggle this past week

Received my first covid vaccine yesterday! Almost 24hrs later and, funny enough, I've not grown a tail and I can't see 5G signals! My arm is still very sore tho, but definitely worth it

It's the time of year to have a sore throat/cough and be unsure if it's a cold or the flu, but this year we've got Covid-19 thrown into the mix 🥴
