I remember how I felt going from biglaw (where I compiled closing volumes by hand) to a boutique (where that process was automated). I remembered those late nights in adobe pdf, and thought, a bit bitterly, about how they could’ve been avoided. Investing in tech is a firm morale issue.

Responsibly adopting legal tech (esp if you’re billing hrly) is an ethical obligation *and* a retention imperative. Clients & attys know these tools exist. Patience for clunky, slow systems & avoidable grunt work is eroding - and rightfully so. Tech investment is key to keeping clients & talent.

If you’re in the Hartford area, Death of a Salesman at the Hartford Stage is one of the most haunting productions I’ve ever seen. Incredible work of art brought thoughtfully to the stage, and it’ll stick with you long after you leave. Go see it.

Saying sweetly “I got it” and whipping it down while he looked on stunned was 🤌🤌🤌

Dudebro on the metro north asked (nicely) if he could get my bag down from the overhead for me, and when I said no, said (less nicely) “really?”

Lift heavy things, ladies, you won’t regret it

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Ughhh yeah I’m gonna let myself have this one thing tysm

I haven’t said this much recently but it’s a great day to be online

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Walking to picture day at the new office, flipped my hair on the street without thinking, and a passing woman made eye contact approvingly like “yesss, queen” 😭 I love women

Trump campaign peace promises loom large over wartime presidency The "anti-war" candidate has bombed seven countries and launched a new regime-change war in Iran.

"No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. He's attacked seven nations, three of which — Iran, Nigeria and Venezuela — had never been targeted... more individual air strikes in 2025 than President Biden did in four years."

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

I’m not as online anymore because whenever I sign on I see stuff like this, and I have so many things to say, none of which I should put in writing

It's always something like this and never something like 'use AI to check whether a manager is sexually harassing a subordinate'. (Which, to be clear, is not a great idea either; my point is these tools are mainly seen by management as a way to exert tighter control over labor.)

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

All of these slap

Yes!! DM me and we’ll coordinate!

Want to brush up on my Spanish during my time off. I understand pretty much everything that is said *to* me, but *producing* words is rusty. If you’ve been in this position with a language before, what’s worked for you? Duolingo? Something else?
