Thank you to the brave people who spoke to me about the dysfunction at UBC Allard Law. Institutions can’t take credit for DEI work while excluding racialized people #lawsky #lawschool

One Battle After Another is the right movie at the right time. It’s a movie about resistance and family. The marketing for this film was awful but now that I’ve seen it, I get it. Lots of surprises

Y'all got recommendations for independent news / publications run by journalists from underrepresented communities?

In particular, journalists of color?

The words we use to talk about nature are disappearing. Here’s why that matters.

We’ll need to do more than "touch grass" to revive them.

With Williams and Townsend, I’m seeing more excitement for women’s doubles. We need it #usopen

Julie Sobowale @juliesobowale.bsky.social · Sep 1

Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are the feel good story of the tournament. #usopen

Between the Medvedev Meltdown, Ostapenko complaining over Townsend not apologizing over a net cord that wasn't even a clean winner, and Tsitsipas complaining about an underarm serve from over an hour ago at the net, this US Open isn't short of drama.

Why is Coco Gauff trying to fix her serve when she's won Grand Slams? #usopen

My take on the biggest #legaltech story of the year

CBA National Magazine @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social · Aug 26

Clio's US$1 billion acquisition of vLex this summer means that along with Thomson Reuters, Canada now has two of the world’s leading legal tech companies. @juliesobowale.bsky.social has the story. www.nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

How Clio’s big moves in AI could affect legal practice

It remains to be seen whether its purchase of vLex will have wide-ranging effects on the legal market, but observers say it could be a much-needed disruption
