it's a good thing that I've developed a pretty cast-iron sense of self-worth, because otherwise....man, my boss could do a number on me without even really trying.

#when she talks about calories I don't know whether she's trying to be catty or if she genuinely can't think of another topic #I have so many interests! I pride myself on my ability to talk about pretty much anything.#I can talk about food gardening history music news theater law sports work what I'm doing this weekend or next month;#I am comfortable asking questions and listening or I'm comfortable telling stories (not...a lot but I have a couple)#I pride myself on my ability to navigate conversations! it is a skill I have actively cultivated!#.....but observing I am fat or that the meal I ordered has 1000 calories? not much I can do with that.#it just strikes me as immature; as much as when she comments on the bags under someone's eyes.#honestly what is the point of bringing it up except to highlight that you have the interpersonal skills of a middle school girl.#no wonder the company has to secretly manipulate you

In honor of Black History Month, we'd like to share our copy of Let Me Live (1937), by Angelo Herndon.

Angelo Herndon (1913-1997) was a coal miner and labor organizer who worked across racial lines. After an attempt to organize black and white industrial workers in Atlanta in 1932, Herndon was arrested and convicted of insurrection. The prosecution case pointed to his possession of communist literature (all of which could be found at a public library), which were found in his hotel room.

Herndon was eventually sentenced to 18 to 20 years of hard labor, but his conviction was overturned by the state appeals court and he was released on bail. On April 26th, 1937, a narrow majority of the Supreme Court ruled in his favor, ruling Georgia's insurrection statute as unconstitutional.

Let Me Live, Herndon's autobiography written during his time in prison, tells the story of his arrest and times in court but also describes his early life up until that point.

This first edition copy features an inscription from Herndon to Thomas Mooney, a noted political activist and labor leader who was controversially imprisoned. When Herndon was out on bail awaiting appeals, he visited Mooney in prison and conducted an interview, which was published in Labor Defender in January, 1935.

To view more about this book and other materials to celebrate Black History Month, visit our digital exhibit, Law and the Struggle for Racial Justice.

key to law’s characterization that he’s the kind of older brother who would stand menacingly in the doorway and say offputting shit when you have your friends over purely just to fuck with you. he’s an absolute unrepentant troll - he LOVES being weird and annoying and confusing. law is the kind of older brother who you cannot fucking stand to fight with bc when things get heated, he just gets outwardly calmer and meaner. he’s near impossible to actually intentionally embarrass or fluster bc he genuinely doesn’t give a shit about most things and if you care enough to try, he’s already pissed you off and therefore won (remember: unrepentant shithead troll). this all of course comes with the caveat that nothing annoys him the way losing the idgaf contest or someone accidentally fucking with his shit does, both of which happen Constantly around the strawhats lmao

#like punch a celestial dragon in front of him? nothing. intentionally poke at his grief and decades old regrets? unbothered.#but just straight up ignore him/throw a wrench in his plans by doing whatever you want? he’s about to lose his Goddamn Mind #he’s always been like this but the formative years w/doflamingo really cemented it in #like spending your middle school years around doffy?? law must’ve been experiencing ego death once a fucking month LMAO #w/doffy nothing is sacred and nothing is safe. nobody else gets to make fun of you bc your buttons are his to press #and by GOD is he going to fucking press them!!!#trafalgar law #one piece #op meta

Btw if you come on holidays and stay at an AirBnb instead of an actual registered hotel I hate you personally. Not "I hate the gentrification and touristic massification and the way we can't live in our homes and are forced to move away because of tourism" in an abstract way- No, not just that. I hate you.

#I'm from a seaside town that has become popular with tourists who come for the beach and the mediterranean climate #and the typical whitewashed walls of mediterranean coastal towns #in just a few years the average rent has gone up so much that now the average rent id #*is over 1000€ per month #one thousand!#that's a whole salary!#in the past 2 years they've been building a new neighbourhood. they've destroyed the vinyeards to make a new neighbourhood that will make #the town 1/3 bigger than it is. that's a lot. but all those houses are luxury houses with private swimming pools for rich foreigners (we #already have 2 private British schools high schools and college(in the british sense)/baccalaureate where their kids go and never have to #interact with locals. I teach some of those kids and they're very prejudiced against locals and very bigoted against the catalan language #(which ofc they never bother to learn)#there's a law in catalonia that says that for every certain amount of houses you build you are obligated to build a certain percentage of #affordable housing. so in this new neighborhood they built the bare minumum affordable housing which is still too expensive for us #and since there's so few of them everyone is competing to get them. the city hall and the bank have had to make an official competition for #them but you only classify if the renr would not be more than 1/3rd of your salary which is impossible. my cousins who are in their mid 30s #and have been working a good qualified job for 15 years (and their partners too) are considered too poor to be considered for the #affordable housing #everyone is having to move out to other cities away from their friends and family and current jobs. the only jobs left here soon will be #mostly directed at tourists #and the only way to continue living here if you're a normal person and not rich is if you're an only child who one day might inherit the #parents' house #but we look around at what's happening in nearby cities and we see the next step which will be airbnb taking the houses that are left #in many places (I've posted about thia before) there aren't any flats for rent or sell anymore that isn't an airbnb #I'm still lucky in my town when compared to other places like Barcelona which are already full of the airbnb plague #actualitat #airbnb #tourism #touristic massification #gentrification

this is like 6 months late but i just saw you mention that you wanted to become a lawyer and the idea of me getting arrested for attempted murder only to find out my attorney is the honourable Katie Klanced Herself is so surreal. get that education queen i can't wait to live in a world where everytime i see a lawyer named katie i have to genuinely consider the fact that they might run the only voltron blog that every mattered.

the chances of katie klanced being your lawyer are low... but never zero.

#HELPPPPPPPPPPPP this is so funny. especially because i am going into criminal law/public defender route.#anon you worded this in the funniest way possible ilu #also speaking of which i've been accepted into a few law schools!!! safety school LOCKED babeyyyy #hopefully i will hear back from my top choice before the end of the month....... pray4katie #ask #anonymous #guys i think ingo is going to lose the sexyman poll. i am so incredibly despondent.

(cw for a gun, mild blood and suicide in the last drawing.)

Day 1-5 of drawing Re:Kinder daily for a whole month! I'll be doing that all month. ☺️

I did not draw Re:Kinder enough (said both sarcastically and genuinely, because while I know the statement is ridiculous I also do believe it www), so I chose to challenge myself. I will post these every 5 days to not clog the tag too much.

#re:kinder #rekinder #fanart #hiroto yamakawa #rei suzumura #aya hibino #sayaka akatsuki #ryou shimoya #takumi katsuragi #shunsuke takano #yuuichi mizuoka #AND CHIE!!!!!! :3333 #now... commentary...#for the first one i tried doing the proportions a bit more realistic than the chibi like ones i usually do !#although it comes with the worry they may seem like teens in contrast of how i generally draw them^^;... i hope they still look their age😢#second drawing is based on an idea from my sister that hiroto’s more responsible attitude comes from taking charge more than he should-#-due to his parents both being depressed. so i tried to express that idea somewhat... its more speculation than anything but still #third one is HORROR MOVIE TIME!!! this one was very funny to me because i dunno whos house theyre in but ryou looks right at home www #certainly not takumi's because that breaks the law children have of “its MY house so if i dont want to watch this movie we wont watch it”#fourth is SHUNSUKE VS THE SCHOOL TESTS!! based on him throwing out his school tests on the trash as mentioned once ingame.#in case it isnt clear the 12 is a 12 out of 100... im afraid i dont know how to make it clearer😓.#chie originally wasnt meant to be there but the compositions i came up with felt boring otherwise. so she was brought in to fill in the voi #final drawing is here to remind you this is a horror game about mentally ill children i am so sorry #im aware it is a bit jarring compared to all the (mostly) fluff but the rng said it was a yuu day he doesnt get any fluff #ah yes sorry spoilers he wont be getting any fluff there will not be a single drawing where he feels joy😭 i am sorry for this #this is because the ideas i never really got to draw (that are here) of him are the sad ones because i feel such a pity drawing him that wa #but i had to get to them eventually because i did want to draw it anyway but i was going to keep stalling them if i didnt do em here #so sorry no happy yuu the whole month😢#anyway i may redraw one of these later down the line (when its no longer august).#i do these with time limitations so i dont get to push them to bigger steps but if i feel one should get one i may redraw it LATERRR

i still can't get over that HR fucked up so badly that i just suddenly owed $10,000. despite me calling attention to the error in december. which they proceeded to do nothing about for 6 months

#🐭📓#at least i'm getting a tax return i guess #but my income is majorly reduced for the next 6 months :))))))#you'd expect the grad school and uni hr to communicate about employment. but alas #this phd better be fucking worth it because whenever i think about the fact that i have a whole year left i lose a little more will to live #it's not “suddenly” in the sense that i didn't expect it because i knew there was something wrong #but more that i thought they were just slow to fix it and suddenly they were scrambling to figure everything out #and citing laws at me about how it was their right to get the money back like calm down I WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THE ERROR. AGAIN.#why would i do that if i was planning on refusing to pay it back #anyway. not getting the money in the first place would've sucked way less than suddenly having to cough it all up 🙃

Happy Women's History Month! To kick off March, here is a photo from our archives of the first three women to graduate from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1893. Flora, pictured on the right, was the first woman to begin classes at the law school in 1890.

we talked about trans student athletes in class today and i was like yeah i think it's disingenuous to refer to these laws as trans athlete bans bc they really just require students to be on a team that matches their sex, not their gender identity, and i'm not sure what gender identity would have to do with sports anyways. other people's responses can be summarized as: 1) riley gaines is a loser for testifying about losing a sports competition 2) none of the people claiming to care about women's sports actually do, it's just transphobia 3) there's no evidence of harm from allowing trans athletes to participate on teams of their choosing, but there is evidence of harm to trans kids through not allowing them to do that 4) implying that sex doesn't really exist/is socially constructed/can be changed

personally i did not find any of these convincing. i was actually disappointed by the quality of the arguments. and it's interesting, bc i don't remember trans athletes even being a big topic going back more than a few years ago, yet there was already such a strong and ill-informed consensus in the classroom. i was 100% in line w/ trans activists' talking points until a few years ago, and i don't think this was really a thing pre-2020s. i remember realizing in like 2021 that my ideological peers thought trans women should be on women's sports teams and being really surprised.

anyway. forgive them lord for they know not what they're talking about.

#i graduate in 3 months so i don't care what anyone thinks of me here tbh. although i think my 1 law school friends might be mad at me #sad if that's the case but oh well. i never would have seen her after graduation anyway

Many study bloggers and alpha mentality students wake up at ungodly hours to study, workout or meditate and get ready for 😤🤘the grind🤘😤

I also wake up at an ungodly hour. 5 am to be precise and I wish I could tell you that I am in any way productive in the morning but the only reason im awake at that time is so I can scroll on my phone in my warm blankets while drinking coffee for an hour to slowly wake up and have some time for myself🦧

I love my internship I’ve already learned so much there and I was able to experience so many interesting things but by the time im home from work I barely make it until 9pm before I go to sleep absolutely exhausted. The second I get home im cooking food, I clean the house a bit and try to do something relaxing but mostly I just try to stay awake for a bit so I can fall asleep at a reasonable hour💀 waking up at 5am instead of 6am gives me one hour just for myself and my needs and it’s my favourite part of the day
