QUICK HITS
just a reminder that the supreme court sucks, and republicans are trying to scare americans into thinking that undocumented aliens are voting (spoilers, they’re not).

caleb had a great time with his nephew, mom, and the scientist in frederick and DC. there was a candy mishap, but that also created something magical. caleb tried old bay goldfish crackers and played a TON of different card games, like spades and hearts! rafe tried balsamic vinegar & salt chips. what a great food experience! and rafe is obsessed with pokemon go again, FOR NOW. pokemon go has added quite a few fun things since last time she played.

also don’t forget to enjoy CALEB RACING – final fantasy randomizer food race! july 21st.

– that frog is adorable and we don’t deserve it.
– right wing politicians are against smishsmortion unless they have gotten someone pregnant due to an affair. wtf?
– law enforcement agencies have their own “internal affairs” departments to handle investigations pertaining to internal matters. often, the public hears that internal investigations have turned up no evidence of wrongdoing or misconduct in highly publicized events. how is it that with eye witnesses and even video proof, these investigations come up empty so often?
– does true crime have an ethical issue, how often are the perpetrators almost glamorised or situations represented without consent from either the victim or perpetrators. p.s. I’ll still watch the heck out of it
