I’m sorry that happened to you and that the person who victimized you was allowed to do it over and over again. I don’t know how old you are now, but I hope you will look for some support and counseling to deal with what happened to you. No adult should victimize a child, ever, for any reason. I hope you get some…

Saw it today. Loved it 90%. I appreciate this review because the author really dissects the film in ways I didn’t think about.

You know what, you’re 100% right. I literally never thought of that. Not sure why, and now I feel silly!

I’m an unapologetic ancestry.com addict. I’ve come across some very surprising connections. So surprising, in fact, I spent quite a bit of time verifying from other sources. On my paternal grandmother’s side we have the coolest connections. First I found John Proctor, he of the Salem Witch Trials. Then off another…

Thanks for this additional information. The state of child welfare is terrible in so many places. Delinquent youth have their own kind of issues within the system. Treatment depends on which state charges and/or incarcerates you. We have few POC where I practice but still, children of color are placed in foster care…

I am a juvenile defense attorney. Gynnya could have been my client. Except she never got to speak to an attorney. She was detained at a facility that seems to me to be inappropriate for youth offenders who have not been adjudicated for any crime. She did not seem to benefit from any presumption of innocence.

It is so important for this aspiring young attorney to have her name cleared. First, because no one should be subjected to abuses of power like this. But also because when she goes to take the bar exam, there is a fitness of character consideration. If she has an arrest on her record, it could affect whether she is…

The top chart leaves out bootstraps! How can you possibly forget the bootstraps? That’s a good 90% right there.

I’m going with nothing. Not a thing. Tabula rasa. Waiting for his next instructions.

OMG, it was one of the highlights of my life. Seriously.

We had the chief justice of the state supreme court, who was also a professor, and very beloved by everyone. Not too long after our graduation, Notorious RBG visited and gave a talk. My ass was definitely there. It was amazing.

I had the opportunity to turn my back on Rick Perry at an event for women in business, many years ago. He was a shitty speaker and remains a shitty human. My employer was one of the event hosts, and I was helping out with part of the event, so I had to be there. But I didn’t have to look at his dumb mug.

When I flew home with my mom’s ashes, I put them in my checked bag and informed the gate clerk. I had certificates from the crematorium and funeral home. They still rifled through my mom’s ashes. The container had been opened. I was fairly upset about that intrusion.

There’s a concept in law called the “eggshell skull” victim. It means, basically, you take your victim as you find him or her. There’s no requirement that the perpetrator know his or her victim is especially susceptible to injury due to a physical ailment, whether known to the victim or not. It primarily applies in…

Oh, just you wait. There is glory ahead, including naps and sleeping in on the weekends.

You’ll get here.

I’m 50, hubby is 52. We act like teenagers. It’s magical.

Thanks for linking to that article. I read it as Flynn having to prove he has something worth offering immunity for. Also, Congress will be wary of offering immunity if it interferes with an FBI investigation. Since this is just being reported today, I am taking this as cautious good news, contingent on Flynn having…

I highly recommend starting with The Shining. It’s simply one of the best-written books I’ve ever read, period. Follow that with Doctor Sleep to complete the loop.

Your kitty has a merkin! How cute!
