old account was hacked & lost everything, but still a Midwest kid & NYC public defender with
@LegalAidNYC
tweeting bout music, games, movies, & law (sometimes).
I've been listening to
@mickjenkins
for 10 years and seeing him perform The Waters last night for a residency at Blue Note was a moment suspended in time ✨
I still listen to this album (and Mick) all the time - if this reaches someone who hasn't, I've done my job.
Have worked on a case for a YEAR trying to get my client into a court part that would accept him & get him the treatment he needs. We had roadblocks EVERY step of the way, but today I walked him out of court without cuffs to be escorted to his program, hugged him, and also cried.
Just realized I only have ONE court appearance b4 I head to Toronto on Thursday.
For a couple months after starting my position in the Youth Part I was (for lack of better words) really going through it @ work and now I'm getting out of town to see my favorite band perform 😭💜
Had dinner with one of my mentors last week from Minneapolis/learned there is now pay parity in Minnesota such that every public defender who has put 10 yrs into the job makes 160k a year/is on par with the district attorneys STATEWIDE.
stopped for a quick drink after work and not only are the gen-z gals behind me just meowing at each other randomly but they are also integrating it into sentences in an oddly conversational way.
Now that I know what's happening and not looking for multiple cats- is this a thing?
cringing at this mediocre white man Sam saying "I don't care what anyone else thinks....but I think you're beautiful" with his lil butthole eyes meeting this beautiful black woman
ain't even gonna talk about the "boring brown eyes" moment k cya love is blind or something
Yesterday we woke up for our flight outta NYC at 3:30AM - got into Toronto at 7:30AM. Walked the city from Little Portugal all the way to the Distillery District & some more - in total about 12mi & made it out until midnight.
Crushed it.
BIRDS IN ROW TONIGHT
Landed in Toronto and nothing can stop me bc I'm with my fav person
@JLK513
in a city we've never been to together and I'm seeing
@wearebirdsinrow
tomorrow. 🥹🫠
remembered when some guy offered me $450 for two tickets to the small club Brand New show here in 2009 and I was like nah despite being broke and it was one of the better decisions I've ever made
found out I have a broken knee cap and have basically no cartilage in my left knee and still haven't been able to connect with my doctor in a week to discuss next steps
Met some new friends in Toronto through mutual love of Birds in Row-me/most of 'em pictured here. Ain't nothing like connecting through music & sharing *that* moment together-s/o
@JLK513
for capturing bc had no idea.
Back in NYC but setting up flight alerts to return already 🫡.
@emiline129
It's an ice cream. It's fucking $3 jesus. Give your kid a break and get him a new one and maybe tell him to maybe put more points into dexterity his next level up.
Ridiculous.
s/o my 💜
@JLK513
for impromptu buying tickets to Toronto with me so I can see
@wearebirdsinrow
& Single Mothers 10 yr anniversary tour of Negative Qualities 🥹
I AM SO EXCITED.
no offense to Sleep Token or whatever is coming up on my new timeline (no offense fr) bc lost all of my followers but this shit from 1:45 on by
@statefaults
is one of the most filthiest things I've heard in 2024. 🫡
@Category_Fury
@CHRISF0GLE
I'm here for Roan but we also gotta put some respect on Dan Nigro (also wrote for Olivia) so more people can be introduced to As Tall As Lions who were an incredible band.
LGA flight cancelled --> EWR delayed --> ATL (overnight)--> MKE + an Amtrak down to Chicago...is an insane way to get from NYC to Chicago after originally having a direct flight but here
@JLK513
and I are 🫡
s/o this lil gal who knew the lyrics to every
@deftones
song at the show this weekend and reminded me the kids are gonna be alright. (been listening for 20yrs and i don't)
Also s/o dad for still having knees and doing god's work for her to have the absolute best time.
Not entirely sure if their supervisors will agree, but it was a nice moment to witness a judge post plea push the DA office to do what should have been done in the first instance. Felt ugly about that plea despite getting the best offer, but maybe there's some light @ the end 🥹
this reminds me of when I used to sit up and play Diablo 2 or Starcraft 2 w/ my friends drinking like 7 mt dews, eating doritos and pizza snacks and then it'd be like 3AM and my parents would come yell at me to go to bed and it was the best time in my life w/ no worries
No matter what time my flight is and despite being in diff cities, my mom is always up to make sure I've made it to the airport and that I've boarded fine.
Sent her a text this morning and she responded immediately and I'm like ma'am, it's 4AM in Madison, WI rn GO BACK TO BED.
I highly recommend not watching Tarot on Netflix bc it's like the poorest man's final destination with less cool kills and little to no character development and just run of the mill jump scares that are present in 90% of movies nowadays. ..didn't expect much tho ಠωಠ
After experiencing
@wearebirdsinrow
live in 2012 -having no idea who they were at the time- they've been my favorite artist.
Only been able to see them 2x since as they're based in FR so my heart is so full that I'm able to see them tonight in Toronto. Might cry.🥹
Here we go!
Still can't get over how unbelievable this track off the new album by
@statefaults
is. What an absolute journey.
Can't wait to see 'em again in October it's been years 😩
I once had knowledge of this, but yesterday marks the first time I remembered in like 15-20 yrs that Wonderwall is an Oasis song. Have never intentionally put on Oasis, although I'm sure I've heard their music before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Our Uber driver stopped at the wrong spot on the upper east and we were late to get into the car and the midwest in me went into full force "sorry! I know it's confusing around this area"
then my NYC ass girlfriend
@JLK513
immediately responds out loud "No it's not."
I still find it generally crazy that someone was able to get into my twitter account, change username, my password & recovery email while retaining everything that I've posted for ~13 years only to post like 3x and immediately get like 10k bot followers. And there's no recourse.
Have to babysit a client while she's with our expert today at the office so making it a lil exploration day in Cobble Hill.
Levant is quite good (steak frites usually disappoint me) 🫨
watched a couple videos of the new Linkin Park performances and happy to see no Emily Armstrong slander on my TL but apparently it exists when really y'all should be talking about Mike Shinoda bc sounds boring as hell
If you can sit down, watch this and not think Emily Armstrong is the perfect fit for the new direction Linkin Park are headed then I can only assume you are deaf
She is incredible! 🔥
pls go visit Edgar at the Regal @ Essex Crossing in NYC bc he may genuinely be the nicest human out there.
The guy essentially injects happiness into our veins by just being himself and greeting us when we see movies. 🥹 Also Beetlejuice 2 was great. 👍
