this was amazing to watch live and was a reminder than in any sport you miss 100% of the shots you don't take and you gotta never, ever assume the ball is dead

trying to wrap my brain around the path this person must have taken from getting her MBA to working on Wall Street then for a brokerage acquired by MetLife, to hating taxes so much that she files documents in federal court and appeals to the state supreme court to add a magic colon to her name

headshot at the investment firm where the person of this name works seems to show a nice GenX lady who doesn't appear at all to be the type of person who believes that FDR's executive proclamations in 1933 were actually a coup d'état by the Jesuits

don't really know where I'm going with this

there's an investment advisor in central Pennsylvania (Garnders, Gettysburg, Mechanicsburg) by this name who's been registered w/ SEC & FINRA as an advisor and/or broker for the past 25-odd years

FINRA filing shows community volunteer work & also that she got her start at Salomon Smith Barney

circling around on this:

I found the federal docket; appears to be a non-adversarial petition filed in order to set a precedent for a sovcit name change, which was ultimately denied at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for LOLz reasons

then I googled the name

TL;DR so I skipped to the end

W: Cape Flattery, Washington, USA

A lot of litigation is simply walking into a meat grinder and demonstrating your intent to stay there.

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

The Music Man is the quintessential American musical because the main character is a scam-artist salesman who convinces people they don’t have to actually work hard to be good at something, they can just pretend they are good at it long enough to actually be good at it. And in the end it works.

highly recommend this thread re places to go, things to see in Seattle -- great up-to-date info since I lived there in the 1990s, mostly on Capitol Hill

that said, every time I'm back I still go to the OG coffee destination, Espresso Vivace, R.I.P. the previous roasteria location down by SCCC

finally putting 2 and 2 together as to what's made me have a bit of a runny nose and a few productive coughs in the past couple of days -- if it were the nose alone I'd say it was just hayfever, but not with this persistent haze here in town

Watership Down action in B.C.

the whole point of "first they came for" is that the first group they come for is the smallest, most marginalized group
