The pocket ripped in my (ancient, and second-hand) winter coat. Usually this is a nuisance because my phone falls into the space between the lining and the outer layer. It’s fantastic on winter Sprint flightsbecause if I’m worried about my bag being too big to go under the seat, I can upload my shirts and underwear…

Deferred prosecution (“don’t fuck up on probation for X period and the conviction won’t go on your record” — it goes by different names in different courts) is used to the benefit of first-time POC offenders across the country on a daily basis.
