I got fascinated by the Supreme Court and that led me to a lot of political and law podcasts. I am notably not a lawyer so I don’t know why I’m doing so many.

Little stressed out. Pregnant wife just tested positive for COVID, I'm in the clear so far and my daughter seems to be, too. Gotta head to the store to get some more tests though, but we're pretty strapped for cash until tomorrow. I've been in the dumps lately but actually today I'm feeling pretty good all things considered. Weird how that goes!

Others have already talked about the grammatical rules a bit. I want to offer a “rule of thumb” that really helped me in my thesis writing:

Anytime you’re going to use “this,” especially at the start of a new sentence, rephrase what you’re saying.

For example:

My stomach is rumbling. This means I am hungry. My stomach is rumbling. Gastro-intestinal sounds mean I am hungry.

It’s a bad example, but it really does help.
