You must spill blood.

hello! longtime follower and current 1L - am starting the rounds of the law firms and there's always the "so what practice area are you interested in?" bit. i was curious what that is for you + what you do/don't like about it? iirc, you mentioned something abt being in-house, healthcare related, regulatory side of things? i'm interested in regulatory stuff but not sure if that takes the shape of litigation or an explicitly regulatory-focused practice. found your blog back in the star wars days, then got into silmarillion and the silt verses after seeing your posts abt it haha - hope you're doing well and staying warm!

Congrats! 1L summer is a fun, anxiety-ridden time that mostly involves telling people over and over, who you are and what you're interested in---which can be tricky if you're not sure what you're interested in.

Personally, I went in knowing that I liked healthcare (the field I worked in prior to law school) and that wanted to stay healthcare-adjacent.....but not much else.

I learned I was not destined for litigation pretty much the first time my Legal Writing professor handed back our appellate briefs. (Mine did not have the grade I wanted at the top.) This was compounded by our final project, where we presented in front of real live attorneys and I was a nervous, sweaty wreck. After that, I decided that becoming Atticus Finch was not in my future.

But there are still lots of other kinds of law to practice! I live in the healthcare regulatory space---and I work for a pretty under-resourced company, which means I have lots of contact with other areas like R&D, clinical research, data privacy, marketing and adtech, direct patient care, healthcare compliance, and negotiating between various international laws. Not to mention my scope is always expanding, which is...challenging, but I'm also the kind of person who enjoys spending a weekend reading about Brazilian law.

(One of my guiding stars through the whole law school/job search process was "I don't want to be bored." I am never, ever bored.)

And this wasn't even my first stop! When I was in law school, I spent my semesters interning/clerking at firms, consulting boutiques and government agencies; policy-focused clinics and hospitals and giant corporate behemoths. I've said before that observing all these different settings was valuable, that it gave me a better understanding of myself, how I work, and the kind of work I was looking for. While I won't ever claim that every experience I had was amazing (it was not) it did give me the opportunity to explore, in a way that most adult professionals simply can't.

I mean---look. If you're committed to the brass ring of OCR and a high-profile law firm, then you might have to make this decision now. (Or at least come up with a good answer for interviewers...) But I highly encourage you and everyone choosing that path to keep the other doors open, just a crack. There are interesting things that sneak through when you aren't looking.

so I'm finally watching Dead Friend Forever and when I tell y'all the sound I made watching ep03 transcended the sound barrier like after a Very Stressful Day of non-consensual decapitation Tee and Not Tee are running away from haunted mansion: cult by ryan murphy only to get bodied by Thai Ghostface only to be saved by Babygirl White who is channeling the biggest Clerk's I wasn't even supposed to BE here today energy calls them on a 90s walkie talkie like "honey I watched the sus ass video of y'alls missing friend and I'm freaking out cause we fucked in the shower which is horror movie rule no-no number like 6 and Fluke is freaking me the FUCK out that bitch ain't right in the head get your ass back here NOW" and once our Slasher villain hears this, jets, and STEALS THEIR FUCKING SCOOTER he was like zoom zoom motherfuckers!!! straight up roadrunner noises eat my dust and ass losers energy leaving Tee and Not Tee to just stare at each other like "did fucking Voorhees McKrueger just jack our fucking scooter???"

the energy this show has truly

Something useful maybe: TMBTE has the angel (of death presumably) with wings made of feathers, while Euclid has a little dude (maybe Vessel’s Id) holding a knife.

Maybe TMBTE is one outcome and Euclid is another and our protagonist Vessel has to choose — there’s a conflict here.

liv mckenzie really had the worst 3 days of her life and then died 😭

[ectonurites]

almost 4am can't stop thinking about the meaning of the idiom 'to have blood on [someone's] hands'—to be responsible for a person's death—combined with the fact that Zach is the one we are specifically shown with Daryl's actual blood on his hands (once for real and once in a dream)... Not Josh who had been holding the sword Daryl fell onto, but Zach who took the sword out.

how do you get yourself to write about such upsetting topics (mainly the fascism/bigotry) without getting upset yourself?

Oh, but I do get upset. I don't write like a detached, passive observer. The trick isn't to not get angry at all, it's to channel it into something constructive.
