I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

Go not to the lawyers for counsel, for they will say "it depends."

If the Democrats give up on trans people then why should any member of a minority trust them ever again?

I refuse to accept the existence of Volume 4 of the Federal Reporter. We should still be in F3d, which was just recently introduced: probably in the 200s or so.

Naming a proposed law after a dead person, particularly a child, is fundamentally a demand that everyone be credulous, unquestioning, and obedient.

The Greeks absolutely had it right when they included a chorus in their plays. They knew audiences are dumbasses who need to be told “THIS MAN IS BAD. HE IS HERE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT *NOT* TO DO. WOE TO THE BUMPTIOUS FOOL WHO WOULD IDOLIZE HIM. YOU ARE NOT, NOR DO YOU WANT TO BE, ALEX DELARGE”

Me - "Judge, reasonable everyday thing that any other judge in this court would do should happen for these reasons." Judge - "No. Needlessly punitive and damaging thing instead. You can make a record." Me (makes record, taking 5x longer than reasonable thing). Judge - "Fine. Reasonable thing."

An illustration for my second #discoelysium fic, The Secrets of Martinaise. The Smoker's face is insanely fun to draw; he has quite a bone structure, judging from his portrait!

The trap of being a public defender is that you can keep working as long as you want, and the more you work, the more good you do. If you're an empathetic person (and I've never met an unempathetic public defender), learning to protect yourself from working endlessly is the hardest lesson.

It also works the other direction
A modified version of the meme where 2 cast members of the Real Housewives juxtaposed with Smudge, a white cat mad in front of a plate of veggies. The panel with Smudge has been replaced with a drawing of Rudy Giuliani sitting with his armed crossed in court.

Being a public defender is hard in large part due to constant immersion in human misery and injustice, but when something good DOES happen, there’s no feeling lime it in the world.
