I didn’t say you weren’t deserving of any relief, but the fact that you even had a choice to go to college is a privilege and a choice that you willingly made. Not every one goes to college, it’s not an entitlement.

You own a home and a car, can afford kids, and are saving for retirement. I’m sorry, but if a demographic needs relief in our society I just don’t think you’re it.

Thank you. I obtained my paralegal certificate instead of going to college, so while I sympathize that the massive burden of student loan debt can be debilitating it was also a choice to take on. Instead we need real discussions about real reform to our university and student loan structure. Our society has decided…

My mom is 65 and very pro-choice, however recently we were having a candid discussion and when I explained that abortion these days can be as simple as taking a pill and going home she was shocked. She still had an image of abortion in the 60's in her head, was very eye-opening and also speaks to how many…

I lived in Portland, Oregon and still had to go to three pharmacies before the pharmacist would fork it over.  I was too young and timid at the time but now I would gladly give a piece of my mind.  When I worked at the DA’s office I couldn’t refuse to issue a warrant because I morally objected, I had to do my job, and…

Here in NoLa, our shitty Governor is about to do the same thing and cripple our economy. But he is actually the lesser of two evils and the corrupt oil industry will get him reelected while the 80% of cities residents who rely on the tourism industry will feel the effect. The system is broken ya’ll.

Last Sunday I woke up hungover and found a fortress of pillows on the living room floor, apparently I played System of the Down really loud and rocked out laying on the floor by the speaker. Dunk me has some teen angst I guess.

Sansa got exactly what she wanted. Arya got exactly what she wanted. Brienne got exactly what she wanted. Yara is alive and is doing what she wanted. I think Dany’s switch to madness was rushed but it was always her destiny.  

This goes for other professions as well, my boss made his way to the top and has built a solid team. So he now expects to sit back and watch us do all the work and is actively annoyed at how busy he still is. “Work less, make more money” seems to be the new goal of this next generation of executives, which I’m…

Oh good, the “it could be worse” argument. That’s like my slightly-racist-aunt who screamed at me that I should just shut up and be thankful cause “they had real sexual harassment back in her day”.

Haters gonna hate, but maybe you should step away from Lush and try an actual good bath bomb.

Neighborhoods are fighting back though. I own a home in the Bywater and the new STR legislation will hopefully curb the influx of gentrification. I’ve called 311 on two unlicensed airBnB’s and they were surprisingly responsive. At the same time I had a moment of rage when I saw a friggin Starbucks go in directly…

Life lesson. Sometime you have to face the consequences of other peoples actions. Sometimes those other people are your parents.

My conspiracy theory is that he’s going to go bat-shit crazy left so that all the other progressives look mild and more center. At least that’s my hope, take one for the team Bernie!!!

I said moral high horse not moral lives. Morality is subjective.

Lawyers have an ethical responsibility to defend their client to the best of their ability. They live with themselves because they are doing the job they are paid to do.  We can’t all live on a moral high horse, otherwise society would cease to function.

Just came to say not all divorces are messy. Given a life of 25 years and 4 kids together I imagine the division of assets will be something they mutually sit down and decide. Not that I’m in anywhere near the same ballpark as them, but my ex and I never went to court or got nasty, we made mutual decision and signed…

The Magic Castle IS AMAZING!!!! Have gone twice, friend of friend’s brother is a magician and it is incredible. Don’t give up on your dream of going, you never know who knows who in LaLa Land.

We pay 2L’s but not 1L’s and work them all hard.  Last year I had a kid here every weekend for two months.

I feel this way about summer associates and it’s maddening. Who can afford to work for free while raking in law school student loan debt?? Way too often these positions go to partners sons and the cycle of nepotism continues.  I’m tired of working with these dillholes while seeing real talent struggle to find solid…
