A say normal because there is clearly something abnormal about those of us in the #lalege hashtag everyday
I recently used the term “con-con” in a conversation with a normal person and they laughed at me, offering a harsh but necessary reminder to use plain language in my reporting
I really forgot how reporting at the Capitol is just constantly being gaslit and feeling like you’re living in an alternate universe. Major props to all you full time political reporters out there
One of my small joys at the capitol is teaching people about Lizard Time (soaking up heat on the steps until it’s unbearable). It’s critical to get out of the cold and dark for a little bit #lalege
