"The Cool Down" by MJ Lindo-Lawyer

I'm rewatching all the Marvel Defenders shows on Netflix and as much as I mock the MCU now, I need non-Marvel fans to understand that I was and still am a fan of "Daredevil fighting the gentrifying assshole who bought out the police force because ACAB both as a lawyer and vigilante of the community" and "Jessica Jones fighting the man who mind controlled her into doing unspeakable things and forming a community of fellow survivors and allies while dealing with PTSD in a range of both healthy and unhealthy ways" Marvel. God I love these idiots they carried so hard

tignon law of 1786

in louisiana, during the 18th century, a law was passed in order to outcast and oppress black women of color by forcing them to cover their hair with scarves. this was due to the fact that white people (especially women according to online sources) were jealous of their hair because of how eye-catching it was, so it led to african american women’s hair getting regulated. this led to women becoming creative and finding ways to make the scarves beautiful and still be following the law, which didn’t end until 1803. the tignon law is just another example of poc getting oppressed because of an unfair and biased legal system.

I have never understood people that think love & monsters is the worst dw episode (I like it, sorry) but now that I'm 3 series deep into my rewatch I think the shakespeare code might be the worst one, or at least the most poorly aged. but I haven't even left rtd era yet so I might change my mind idk different horrors still await me

Very happy for Meg and I wish the lawyers who tried to slut shame her and use useless and irrelevant information about her intimate past as a defense strategy to have an abysmal win/loss career case record AND that leprechaun's permanently receding hairline.🙄

Eunice Carter

Eunice Carter was born 1899 in Atlanta, Georgia. Carter graduated from Fordham Law School in 1932 and went on to become an Assistant District Attorney for New York County. She is best remembered for her key role in prosecuting Charlie "Lucky" Luciano. She spearheaded the investigation that proved the mob was running New York City's brothels, and organized the sting that led to Luciano's arrest and prosecution. Carter remained at the District Attorney's Office until 1945, and then went into private practice. She was active with the YWCA, the National Council of Negro Women, and the United Nations.

Eunice Carter died in 1970 at the age of 70.

Women's Day 2024

Happy Women's Day! Three items were sent by mail in March 2024. They're not a full suit, but I figured I'd catalog them here anyway. The promo picture uses a lot of items that aren't part of the gift.

These items will probably return to the shop later on, as have most of the other Women's Day items. Here's the barrister's robes first, skateboarding items in the reblog. A barrister is a kind of lawyer in the UK.

I included an image description this time, because there weren't that many pictures.

If you can see me in my office you would have looked at me and thought I have worked here for over 5yrs, I'm overworked tired and stressed, haven't taken a vacation since.. in the middle of a divorce battle, and slowly loosing the will to live.

I'm over here holding my head and rubbing my temples like I'm fed up and ready to retire. I've been working here for less than a month. I haven't even graduated law school yet!!! Plssss
