Same, Frog and Toad, same…

When we were looking for a place in Bristol I randomly clicked on a listing and then clicked out again very quickly.

Cromwell Road.

No - I was, earlier, but not any more.

I am trying to remind myself that it feels like my entire syllabus and system of course management are completely collapsing around this point in EVERY semester* as a consequence of, well, the time of the semester, and I am not, in fact, completely failing at my job.

Yes. This is the way. It's not you, it's the laws of time/physics/semesters.

I've only written about 300 this afternoon - well done!

I am giving a short talk about the UK Supreme Court on 25th March at the University of Manchester as part of our ManReg seminar series.

If you are in the area and want to drop in, or wish to join us online (if the tech works!) do send me a message.

Ellie Chowns asks the PM if he'll publish the legal advice the govt received on the initial US/Israel attack on Iran.

Keir Starmer says no, he won't.

@rinewithoutacat.bsky.social RV I see you liking our karaoke posts, send me your number 😆

You are IN. Send me your number?

We can work with that 😂 DM me your number?

@apowelllaw.bsky.social my co-convenor, how do you feel about singing?

Okay so - who's going to SLSA and likes to sing to any level of quality?!

Done!

Transness is transgressive because it disrupts the way society is organised on a micro level as well as a macro one (bc the two are continuous), but this is also the source of its transformative power. By existing in a trans way, you profoundly shape the social world around you.

Wonderful! Thank you so much!

Yes please! Do you have my number from Belfast?

It really does feel like a replay of Iraq. He says he's 'learned the lessons' from Iraq but it doesn't feel like it - feels like if America pushes, he'll jump.

The UK is letting the US take limited action off of its property rn, but they're 'reviewing' the situation as it happens and it sounded very like manufacturing consent for later action by both US and UK.

Post from Julia Fine that says, "Write the book you want to read because you will have to read it 75 times."

Go Maddie!!

Reading Butler on grievability is really hitting home as we stare down another war.

"This division of people into the living, who are grievable, and the unliving, who are not (whether they be currently alive or dead), combined with the effects of a cis-supremacist society, relegates trans people to an underclass, an unpersonhood."

I am writing. It feels very heavy, today.

Going about your normal business on days like this feels so jarring. WW3 seems imminent and I’m supposed to go to Tesco for a sourdough loaf?

I guessed right but I won't spoiler in your replies.

Hurrah, congrats Hannah!

I love when lawyers give other lawyers a well-deserved lawyerly kicking.

He didn't hold back!

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.
