It’s really confusing to work a job you care deeply about, one that motivates you to go above and beyond, not to impress anyone but because you enjoy and care about the work… while also being the type of person who thinks working on the weekend is exploitation and wage theft.

“This is a lot of fear-mongering,” she says to someone who’s sister is currently experiencing a health crisis without a second thought.
Oh, you want me to study for the bar exam? You want me to study for the bar exam on the day

drops an episode about RFK Jr and the anti-vaxx movement?!?!
“Looking for a gym buddy/adventure partner. I prefer natural women so don’t bother if you paint your face like a clown every day. Don’t match with me if you don’t plan to meet up. Please have something more interesting to say than, ‘hey.’ You should weigh less than me.”
planned to do a mini practice exam today - 1.5 hours/1 MPT; 1.5 hours/3 essays; 3 hours/100 MBEs… but the crippling anxiety made it impossible to start, and now it’s almost 2 pm, and all I’ve done is sit here and feel bad. 🙃
The Sixth Circuit bravely held this year that a person is seized within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment when an officer fires eight shots into their residence.
It was not a unanimous opinion.
Dear bar preppers:
1. Fuck your prep course if you don’t feel like it’s helping.
2. Prioritize reviewing your weakest MBE subjects.
3. You know more than you think, AND you don’t need to know as much as you think.
4. If any of the above makes you feel worse, toss it and do you.
Our only appellate defender (and resident office brain) asked for my opinion on a legal question yesterday, and tbh I’ll be riding that ego boost for the rest of the week.
@ResIpsaLoco
big breaks with no refreshments and nothing to focus on. y’all have to take a million pictures? Fine. Just give me a few nibbles, some nice music, and a glass of wine.
if you’re just graduating college I would advise against law school. go do something else that you think you could be good at first. law school will always always be there but making an exit from the legal profession is way harder than people say!

lol I worked for 10+ years before law school & got my B.A. in 2010. Career Services insists I keep my resume to one page AND include undergrad extracurriculars. Like how is the fact that I did opera during Obama's first term more relevant than 90% of my work experience?

and for the love of god do not post film or photos from a protest online
sometimes I forget that most people don’t use “raw-doggin it” as an everyday and perfectly polite term for doing *any* activity without a common assistive or protective tool
I know Trump is the real existential threat here, but can I just say - I am really not looking forward to this “I’m a prosecutor; he’s a felon; I know what to do with criminals” shit for the next four months from the Harris campaign.
I found out an old friend committed suicide over the weekend, the world at large is on fire right now, and tomorrow I have to put on a pantsuit and help stupid and/or callous prosecutors put addicts on the slow boat to prison. I’m fucking tired.
I’m tired of being gaslit into believing that being punctual is important when I have NEVER, never EVER, seen a judge take the bench on time. A judge that’s 20 minutes late is shockingly early.
@FlorenceHRScott
I saw those photos but I can’t figure out if they’re actually dating! Maybe I’m just being willfully obtuse, since the two of them coupling up significantly decreases the likelihood I’ll get to date either one…
I’m not a natural invite to a Super Bowl party because you can look at me and tell I won’t even know who’s playing. This is the great tragedy of my life because I LOVE chips and dip. Any kind of dip. I cannot remember a dip I’ve ever regretted.
The issue is whether the couple’s marriage fell apart b/c they moved to Florida. At common law, moving to Florida was considered a smart move for a young couple. However, the modern approach is to stay away from the state because weird shit happens in Florida. In the instant case

everybody wants to talk about bail reform but nobody (the Supreme Court) wants to talk about whether an initial appearance where bail is set is a critical stage requiring the presence of counsel
guys freaking out about how “you can’t approach women in public anymore,” here is one tip. whatever you’re going to say, precede it with “i’m so sorry if this is weird but ____.” displaying even baseline self awareness makes us feel 75% safer
Imagine if "not separating the art from the artist" worked in both directions, like "granted, Greg's music sucks but I listen to it anyway because he's a nice guy"
I have to study for the bar, I can’t pay attention to what SCOTUS is do- oh, they changed one of the subjects on the exam? Just fully changed it?And they made it racist? Great.
how many of y’all who are PDs or who work with PDs read this headline and immediately thought of that one prosecutor in your jurisdiction who would absolutely pursue this
A 6-year-old child shot his teacher at a Virginia elementary school on Friday, police say.
Now authorities face an uncomfortable question: How should they prosecute a crime committed by a first-grader?
Regular movement is so important for health.
That is why I am LIVID that society & people in my life tried to shame me into doing it for 30 years.
Shame is not conducive to long-term commitment. Associating exercise purely with guilt and weight loss hurts everyone.
@rothschildmd
Is IRS a euphemism for FBI so they can speak in code? Or is there a rabbit hole at the end of which people believe the IRS is actually going to physically attack them?
