This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Me on my phone five minutes before the movie I’ve waited a month to see is about to start

Wait this theater is too big

Pineapple and jalapeño

OKAY, let’s do this, give the people what they want (with many thanks to all y’all who tagged me) NYAYAM is free to try, btw, you can just hit it up in the browser. That’s what I did.

Happy Pride 🌈

All of (former) lawtwitter watching the show last night:

Other than discovering that I’m apparently John Oliver’s son, @lastweektonight.com’s deep dive into the shadow docket is really quite good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKeq...

And when that pen is recommended by a penfluencer who has created the great big spreadsheet of pens, you respect the effort and skill. @strowhiro.bsky.social

Happy Masters Week

Honestly the most demoralizing thing about the Ryder Cup is hearing them talk about how old Justin Rose is over and over and then you google it and he’s only 45.

My cat:

Go Bruins! 🐻💙💛

Lauren Betts’ “Block for the Ages”

It’s a high bar to clear but this message from Trump may be the most unhinged things he’s ever said. Impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment is long overdue but it’s completely clear that the Congress/Cabinet needs to remove Trump from the Presidency.

The astronauts not having an out of office on is making the rest of us look bad

I’m too trusting to be on the internet on a day like this

Get your cat a window bed

Kids are on Spring break and I work from home. Me: "Okay kids, I'm going to my office to work now, let me know if there are any emergencies." *opens work email* Kids: "MOM! CAN YOU COME HERE?" *closes work email* Me: "Yes?" Kids: "Can you tell us which one of us is skipping correctly?"

All done :) 🍣

A little morning LEGO

AI could never

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

Just a reminder: don’t pinch your coworkers. Even if they’re not wearing green. There is no St. Patrick’s Day affirmative defense to harassment or assault. This has been a PSA from your friendly neighborhood employment lawyer.

Oh hello there

We spent the bulk of this episode on a case where detainees & their lawyers detailed systematic legal/human rights abuses by DHS. Today, the court GRANTED the plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order. The order is extensive and worth your read. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Can you guess which LEGO set this is?

Every few years I take weightlifting back up and rediscover how much I despise Bulgarian split squats

One of my favorite hobbies is buying crochet patterns on etsy

Happy Fall 🎃🍂

How can I be expected to deliver shareholder value under these working conditions?

It was a pleasure speaking with Max Kutner for @law360.bsky.social about wage-hour compliance tips as we head into Fall! www.law360.com/employment-a...

Honestly the most demoralizing thing about the Ryder Cup is hearing them talk about how old Justin Rose is over and over and then you google it and he’s only 45.

Working on my first knit shawl with Caron cotton painterly cakes yarn! These metal circular needles are something else. Do you ever get to a point where you aren’t frightened your entire project will slip off a needle and be ruined?

guess the set (bag 1)

Tylenol board of directors right now

First knitting project complete :)

Time to cast off for the first time. Wish me luck.

What’s your go-to comfort movie? The one you put on in the background. The one you’ve seen a thousand times and can recite word for word. This is mine.

Okay, maybe I’m starting to get the hang of this.

“No one here but balls of yarn. Nothing to see here.”

I cannot express how much focus this has required

Going to try my hand at this beginner headband knitting tutorial!

Ok we’re back in business. But starting to think that stockinette may be a better stitch to practice than garter?
