This is going to be a really out-there thought, but bear with me.

If you listen to Kellyanne Conway talk, it's like she is constantly gaslighting everybody who tries to challenge her or ask her for a straight answer.

thehill.com/homenews/media…
If she were a man, I would suspect that she is abusive to people around here. Why is it different because she is a woman?

Some point, the manipulation and distraction techniques become scary. And maybe she can separate that from her private life, and it's all a persona.
But I sort of doubt it.

I don't necessarily think George Conway is a victim, but I suspect she is abusive. Their dynamic certainly seems unhealthy (if it is real - and her response in the clip above makes me think their marriage is real) and I hope George Conway is safe.

I remember, when my marriage was in a tough spot, learning from a lady who had been married 40 years that her marriage had been happy and almost never hard.

I was shocked. I had bought this narrative & surrounded myself with ppl who reinforced it...
She and her husband were always seen holding hands, still, and sometimes she would put her head on his shoulder at the grandkids' sports & school.

It shook me awake. I had to figure out how to get that. I had to get my husband on my team in the search for that.

We started ..
counseling with a good therapist and committed to changing the ways we were both hanging onto behaviors that consistently hurt the other person.

THAT was hard. But once we stopped doing those things, the marriage itself became easy.

The work of caring enough about someone

I just realized something truly awful...

Donald Trump Jr will someday be President.
I've never watched an interview with him so I really knew nothing...

But I'm watching this @CBSThisMorning interview and realizing Don Jr is the George W Bush of his family.

Trump Sr will be a one-term president and his son will out-Trump him in every way.

Nightmare future
Watch this interview and see if you disagree.

Q1. On payday, I FINALLY hooked up with a friend’s babymomma (our little secret). We had a great time; ended back at my house. She choked me during sex, it felt good until I passed out. I woke up with cash from my wallet gone. She swears she didn’t rob me. What to do? #SBCCHAT
Q2. On & off with my ex for about 2 years. This last time we reconnected I put my foot down and demanded a commitment. He AGREED. So, I picked a date and sent out engagement party invites. His family confronted him and he broke it off (for good, I fear). What I do? #SBCCHAT

How are you writing your dissertation? How did you write yours? How do you write your books? This is my method (so far). Note: I’m a historian. #writing 1/
My approach consists of 4 separate stages: 1) gathering sources, 2) reading/analyzing the sources I have collected, 3) organizing the sources and making a top down writing outline, 4) writing. 2/
Some people do research and write one chapter, and then do the same process for another. Others do research while writing. I don’t adopt these approaches. 3/

Many academics find sitting down at the computer and starting to write to be the most difficult challenge facing them. One of the reasons for this, as one of my students put it so well, is that “if I never start, then I never fail.”

Another reason academics can't get started writing is getting out of the habit of writing–or never having had a writing habit.
While tough to overcome, this obstacle does have some straightforward solutions.
Here are ten (10) solutions.

1. Make other tasks contingent on writing
An excellent way of dealing with the difficulty of getting started is to make a preferred task contingent on a nonpreferred task, as the behavior management experts put it (Boice 1983).

1/ My friend, @tegasupreme, is in my view, one of Nigeria's best sports journalists, if not the very best.
2/ Okay, @AlakaJide will have a thing or two to say about that, and no, @biolakazeem is not a journalist, he's a hustler.
3/ Recently, Tega started writing a column for @DailyTimesNGR, and I wish her the best in that endeavour.
