Men at the gym, if you only ask the lone woman using a bench how many sets she has left and do not ask any of the men who have been on their benches scrolllng their phones instead of lifting for far more time than the lone woman has been doing her workout, you’re doing a sexism.

I am not your lawyer and this is not legal advice, but 1. Don’t subway surf b/c you risk grisly death, you will fuck up many commutes, and you risk arrest. 2. If you ignore Point 1, don’t subway surf on a line whose stations are covered in wanted posters w/your pictures on for your alleged felonies.

Not to be even more autistic than usual, but I am taking so many trains today! NYC subway, Amtrak, and now the Boston T followed by commuter rail.

Happy Hoping That Mystery Droplet That Fell On My Face Was AC Condensation Season, NY.

🧵On May 16, 1944, Roma and Sinti imprisoned in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp rebelled against their Nazi captors and held them off for four months, into August. Romani Resistance Day commemorates this revolt and the suffering of Romani and Sinti peoples during the Holocaust/Samudaripen.

Travelling as a Romany New Yorker is always weird, because when people find out I’m from NYC they are like “Cool” but when they find out I’m a Gypsy they’re like “Go back where you came from immediately!”

We needn’t accept that a racist president elected against the popular will backed by a racist group of senators representing fewer people than those opposed have somehow earned the right to erase the parts of the constitution written in the blood of the righteous. Saying it plainly makes it obvious.

I believe I can speak for all the children’s lawyers when I say, hey, DOJ, what the fuck

Not sure how I’m supposed to review all these case notes with the theme music from Arsenic and Old Lace stuck in my head, but I will give it a try.

I can’t immediately find that saved meme of a tardigrade playing a tiny violin, but just picture it in your minds and pretend it is playing the saddest of airs.

Menopause can’t happen soon enough.

In honour of my mother, who I miss every day, some advice: Don’t bite; use your words, because people are dirty and you don’t want to get dirt in your mouth.

Remember the zero percent raises Giuliani gave first responders immediately after 9/11? Remember how his party keeps trying to gut the 9/11 health program? 9/11 first responders remember!

There is a recruitment ad for NYC Department of Corrections right next to a Legal Aid Society 150 Years ad in this subway car. NYC is not a real place.

Open the borders except for that fucking guy.

O povo unido jamais será vencido! 25 de Abril sempre!

15 years ago, a friend and I were upset at the US reneging on promises to Afghan interpreters that we founded No One Left Behind, named in this piece, to advocate for their resettlement. I bring this up to say that this is only the latest in a long line of official betrayals of these people.

This is galbe-quality GypSky posting

Underused word of the day: besmirch

“Pied-a-terre tax“ is such brilliant branding. Impossible to whine out loud about a ”pied-a-terre tax“ while sounding like a normal person.

Happy World Circus Day to all the death-defying spangle mavens!

You have to admire how Trump world isn’t constrained by facts, evidence, or even a fleeting connections to reality. It’s government by dissociating lunatics. It must be very freeing for them.

Platner in sum: “My Nazi tattoo has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my Nazi tattoo”

Going to start a lawyer series based on Perry Mason, but the protagonist is a middle-aged woman and she has to solve mysteries like Why Is This Room Too Hot and Too Cold All At Once, and Why Is Everyone Annoying, and The Case of Why the Whole World Smells Disgusting. I will call it Peri Menopause.

Per a colleague's 7 year-old client, I am not good at playing action figures. A crushing review. How does one return from this.

Happy Shoulda Finished The Job Day

El pueblo gitano ha sabido preservar con firmeza su identidad y sus tradiciones a lo largo del tiempo. La comunidad romaní, admirable y llena de una riqueza cultural única, forma parte esencial de lo que significa ser andaluz. Feliz Día Internacional del Pueblo Gitano.

Today is International Romani Day. Romani people still face discrimination & repression all over the world. Laws that attack them & their traditional itinerent way of life are still on statute books including in the UK. Racist stereotypes are still acceptable in media.

Getting ads for switchblades, the possession of which is a felony in NY, so the algorithm on that app is doing the stereotypes on World Roma Day?

Kushti World Roma Day, Romale. Fight it out, hug it out, and wash your feet.

To the person who rode by on a moped blasting 99 Luftballons: well-played.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

Please enjoy this magnificent fine art as spotted this morning on the sidewalk near court:

Motion to make “Pam Bondi” new slang for “a cautionary legal tale”

Autocorrect just turned “Hegseth” into “Hagueseth.” Well done, autocorrect. Well done.

Law students, John Sauer not only passed the Bar and got admitted, he is the current Solicitor General of the United States. You will be fine.

We are ruled by morons and it makes me want to light my law degree on fire

Yes Mr: President. Absolutely show up to glare at the Supreme Court. John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett will appreciate the public reminder that they'll experience unspecified sinister consequences if they pretend to be independent by ruling against you in an easy case.

I'm here to tell you after having spent far too much of the past 72 hrs absorbing the briefing, arguments, caselaw, & sources cited in advance of tomorrow's birthright citizenship arguments that this case presents the stupidest claims the US government has ever brought to the Supreme Court.

Regret to inform that it is officially Hey Girl Nice Tattsssssss Season in NYC

It was not even 10am when a respondent yelled on the record that I am “A DEMON OF SATAN” (all caps for outside voice in inside place), so this Monday is progressing as expected.

I’m at the posh art museum I’m at the atchin tan I’m at the posh art museum at the atchin tan drawingcenter.org/programs/inc...

Across the border* and living dangerously** *in Queens **having coffee at 6pm

Things I enjoy include not getting hit in the face with a cloud of crack smoke when I get on the subway.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

It’s the official stance of this account that antisemitism, Islamophobia, and conspiracy theories in general are bad history. That’s apparently controversial these days.

To the men who come on here to “not all men” and/or do rape apologia: this means you, specifically.

If that’s just how men behaved at the time, I’m perfectly fine tearing down everything named for all of them.
