The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

A lady asked me for help in Mood today, thinking I was an employee - I feel like I unlocked some kind of next level, that I looked cool/competent enough to work there. 😂

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

Today’s dating apps thought: am I not getting likes because no one has extra money to go on dates? Or they are worried about a potential layoff?

In divorce law, this time of year is the busiest, with many parties waiting to separate until after the holidays - newly separated men are not the best catches, but this former divorce lawyer would be delighted to hear about your drama in exchange for a nice dinner. I sometimes miss the tea… 💅🔥🙌🏻

My sartorial-based rejections on dating apps:
- Clip-on suspenders (braces, please, we’re 40+)
- Pre-tied bow ties (outside of a wedding party context)
- Polyester jacket with bad lapels (not 1970s)
- MIB suit worn unironically

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”

ICE just took one of my firm’s clients from the Cleveland County Courthouse. The 4 men were in plain clothes, none of the defense counsel knew who they were or had a heads up before this person was taken. He was there for a traffic violation. My female colleague: “I can’t fight 4 men at once” 😭

I just saw a Tiktok where it was suggested that we go back to Zoom hearings to keep ICE from picking up people in courtrooms and I am here for this energy

Current Bumble situation - app is only showing me men who live elsewhere but are visiting my geographic radius; only men requesting to match are men who aren’t even visiting my geographic radius but live more than a 6 hour drive away.
Looking at you, Florida and NJ - did you consider logistics? 🤦♀️

Is it just me or is there a dearth of holiday parties this year? I 100% get why that might be the case…
