Gonna flex about my spouse for a sec, because he was laid off on October 30 and hired today, November 25. Less than a month, with a pay bump and signing bonus.
All he had to do was tell LinkedIn he was looking for work, because multiple former coworkers pounced on him 😂

Meanwhile on Threads: @juliamacfarlane.bsky.social had the absolute laziest, tired trope about “knitting is a granny hobby”
and got so roasted she turned off all her comments, reposts, and mentions. (TIL you can do that on Threads)
Now she is crying that knitters are mean. 😂

I’m two hops away from Hugh Hefner, which makes me three hops away from every famous person in a 50-year span
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

The IL general assembly just passed legislation that would:
- ban ICE from making arrests at/near courthouses
-protect hospital patients
-protect students and student data
-affirms (AGAIN) that ICE is legally banned from daycares without a real warrant
Headed to Pritzker. Not worried there. 🙌

Given how ICE’s escalating tactics correspond with my escalating correspondence with my mental health professionals: yup
“Following Ryan Walters’s resignation, we have noticed a substantial decrease in crisis calls from Oklahoma, Lance Preston," Rainbow Youth Project director said.
"The relief expressed by callers is palpable, and we are grateful for the positive impact his departure has had."
"The relief expressed by callers is palpable, and we are grateful for the positive impact his departure has had."
Following the Resignation of Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who was a fan of Libs of TikTok, mental health is improving among young people in the state.

More (cleaned up) citation drama. This time from the Iowa Court of Appeals.

#LegalWriting

#LegalWriting
![I continue on, beyond what is needed for the court to decide this case, to
explain my persistent use of the legal-citation parenthetical (cleaned up) despite
the contrary guidance of the latest edition of the Bluebook. See The Bluebook:
A Uniform System of Citation R. B5.3, at 9 (Columbia L. Rev. Ass’n et al. eds.,
22d ed. 2025) [hereinafter “Bluebook”]. Some may question—perhaps rightly—
the importance of such a technicality. But I find the organic adoption of
(cleaned up) to be a remarkable innovation in legal citation that improves the
readability of judicial opinions and written advocacy. And (cleaned up) more
accurately describes the practice that it notes than the Bluebook’s alternative:
(citation modified). In short, (cleaned up) is worth saving. And I hope that the
bench and the bar will not be bullied by the Bluebook into letting it die.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o6o2u2byc2cellhzzisujort/bafkreia274pesx4xpb5qezlvgcq4dalucdzhrgozrf4ys3mjrmlvy2gcze@jpeg)
