It’d be exciting to think that Bluesky has people pretending to be American like Twitter but I honestly don’t think they could talk about Star Trek Deep Space 9 the way it’s expected here without having watched all the episodes a dozen times

The man who fired me while I was pregnant and told me I should go back to teaching was wearing a suit.

The man who got caught staring at my backside in court was wearing a suit.

The man who told me to fetch coffee and take notes while the "real lawyers" worked was wearing a suit.

Post of LinkedIn rant that says “i see a lot of law firm owners bragging about closing their firm for Thanksgiving/Christmas. 

Unfortunately, this is one brag I won’t be able to do as my team will still be there to service our clients.

But nobody else other than my firm, is able to brag we run the nation’s largest law firm exclusively focused on offshore asset protection.”

Lawyers, keep bragging about being good to your team, we’re making the hardos on LinkedIn get cringily defensive

whenever someone tries to call me out for having a public social media, I think of my parents’ old colleague who tried to tell on my parents at work for “living together” without knowing they were literally married

Many of us out here feel like “revert” *should* be synonymous with “respond”. And I 👏 BELIEVE 👏 THAT WE WILL WIN 👏
