I am doing the public interest forgiveness thing. I am very lucky that I found an area of legal practice I really enjoy and was able to do a few years at a non-profit, and when I burned out, I jumped to government. I have about 4 more years of payments left.

IF YOUNGS DIDN’T HAVE DEBT, THEY’D GET THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR HOUSE, BABY BOOMERS.

I work for this agency. The law already prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving housing assistance, whether it be public housing, vouchers, or some other hud-subsidized unit. Each and every public housing authority requires applicants to provide proof of citizenship or legal immigration status. As long as one…

No. I’m from LA and scratch my head at the USC love. It’s not even a Top 20 university. Maybe she was all about it for the network it provides in the LA area?

I...what? I bet the judge knew him, too. It is very rare for a judge presiding over criminal matters not to be familiar with the local legal aid criminal defense and public defender attorneys because they appear before these judges often multiple times a week. And if the court accepted this guy was an attorney, then…

Yeah this is pretty standard -- most municipalities have ordinances that address excessive barking, and if they don’t, they use the generic nuisance law to address the issue because excessive barking is in fact a nuisance. The goal isn’t to punish dogs, but to punish owners for being shitheads that don’t properly…

This. I just want to chill out after work and watch a movie or play a game -- I don’t always want to be chasing something. It’s hard to find men like that here. 

Nah, lawyers don’t need to do that. Some of my case work involves sexual harassment, and I would never, ever ask questions like that. The answer isn’t even relevant.

There is no crime of “rape” under Arizona law. Instead, it’s called sexual assault in the criminal code:

 I was going to make that same comment.I can barely squat in flats and not pregnant without falling over.

As I watched it, I just kept thinking that Domonique’s mother did the perfect thing when she first saw her face to face at the hotel room door — just repeating over and over that she loved her and it was okay. He’s known for brainwashing women into thinking their families have abandoned them, that I can just imagine…

As a dog owner and a former dog sitter and walker, I understand the “poop log” request. A dog’s bathroom habits tell a lot about whether he or she is feeling well or may be sick. I don’t track poop and pee, but I certainly note that she has/hasn’t and any changes from the norm. If you aren’t the one walking your dog…

Yep. Knew a guy for a few years, hung out a couple nights a week as part of my friend group, etc. He disappeared. We come to learn that he was arrested for possessing and distributing child pornography and was suspected of having sex with young children on his trips to SE Asia. We didn’t believe it at first, but I…

We do a WE gift at work, but I am one of the people who helps plan it, so I implemented “no re-gifting from years past” and “get stuff people may actually want” rules. We had some great stuff this year, with a lot of stealing going on. I try to get stuff that I think the majority, or at least a lot, of my colleagues…

I, a 34-year-old woman, CONCUR! I am so excited. I actually started watching Kim Possible in college (I like DCOMs) and became obsessed. My text tone has been the Kommunicator beep since at least 2004, as I move it from phone to phone.

As a Jew, I call bullshit. American Jews, by and large, do not believe that BDS, or criticisms of the Israeli stance towards Palestine, are inherently anti-semitic. While for some, the root is the Jewishness of Israel, the two can and often are mutually exclusive. 

mine too now! 

She’s my new Rep (I moved this summer) and I am so excited about it! I had a faux progressive (Ro Khanna) the past two years, and I hated him so yay!

ducks are disgusting creatures.

I am team Diet Coke At Any Hour. However, I do enjoy a good peppermint tea before bed, and some chai mid-day.
