In law school I was taught that I’d you didn’t want someone else to read it- don’t write it. The moment you hit send- it’s not private anymore. I won’t even get into policing victims.
It’s gross to post your ex’s private texts unless you have a really solid reason to do so—& this holds true even if your ex was a thin-skinned, manipulative weasel. That used to be a given, but it clearly isn’t anymore

Ehhhhh. I’m going to disagree here. If only because asking your bridesmaids to wear something they are uncomfortable with for the sake of everyone in a matching style seems so 1990s?

I had a chief surgeon for a mom and law firm partner as a dad growing up. The most unrealistic part of the Cosby show was how much they were both at home 😂
@ToyaRochelle
So they both have providers with a contracted rate. However the HMO basically has a network that requires a referral and you must have a primary care physician. Not with a PPO. HMO you must stay in network for the savings and PPO you can do both in-network and out of network.
Listen, I’m 31 and my parents pay my Amex and have offered the down payment on my car and condo. It doesn’t hurt their lifestyle not one bit but I’m suppose to say no cause I need to be an adult? Girl, bye.

3. You should always feel free to change lanes when it makes you happy. I held on needing to work in big law long after it no longer made me happy. Would I go back one day? Probably 😂
Got a sec to help new and junior lawyers?
If you’re willing, please share: (1) who you are, (2) what you do, and (3) what you wish you knew today that you wish you’d known when you started lawyering.
Let’s break down some of those barriers to this community knowledge!
My neighborhood has finally cycled back to where kids live in it again and they are making a big effort to make a community. Now you see a lot of kids playing outside and with each other but it took time and effort.
Now you chose your communities based on common interests and identities. The people who live around you aren't necessarily your "community" in spirit anymore. You may not even know folks well.

We grew up with my grandfather saying “you need to be educated so you can sleep with who you want to- not who you have to” and man. A lesson.
people in black chicago neighborhoods have varying ideas about policing. no one wants killing or brutality; that's a given. some want to abolish the police. others want what they define as good community policing.

There’s a PBS documentary called “The 9 months that made you” which blew my mind when talking about gender and other things that happen in the womb and how they manifest outside the womb. You might like it!

If you ask me to quit my job, have no money, have no retirement, have nothing for myself if shit goes sideways - you better be giving up something serious.

@rodimusprime
once said about the fact that we ask for black people to be prosecutors and then beat them up for it. So do we only want non-black prosecutors? Make it make sense.
There's a video circulating w/ a clip of Kamala saying, "Look at my bus!" & then cuts to a video of men in handcuffs & jumpsuits getting out of a prison vehicle. The use of prisoners as props makes me doubt how much these people actually care about prisoners or justice reform.
@Frediculous
The only reason my spouse and I take “slightly” separate trips is that I believe international vacations should be 3-4 weeks long and my husband believes 1-2. So we compromised and I go alone for a week and then he joins me. Best of both worlds.
Shout-out to my little sister, who for over a year and through sweat, tears, and smiles, has covered VP-elect Harris on this journey. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you! 🥳
