It's not the point, but I'm cracking up at this line about slam poetry in Judge Hittner's order on Texas's drag ban.

What a treat to share a panel with inspiring colleagues. I loved the opportunity to present my paper, Gender Affirming Rhetoric, at the LWI (@lwionline.bsky.social ) biennial.

Sunday at Stetson Law, we were honored by a visit from Justice Stephen Breyer. In a conversation with Dean Barros, Justice Breyer offered poignant advice on civility, persuasive advocacy, cultivating fulfillment, and shared values that make us American. He was also hilarious. Such a special event!

Outlines tell you a lot, and wow, we sure have decided to relegate all the injunction factors except likelihood of success on the merits to "The Other Factors."

Outline from the Table of Contents in the United States' application:

Argument
I. The Government is Likely to Succeed on the Merits
A. The district court lacked jurisdiction
B. Respondents' due-process claims are meritless
II. The Other Factors Support Relief

Well, that's a take!

Our new year new dog Cosmo (pictured) ate the power cord, but I did some soldering and made it work.

The poignant words shared by a student to commemorate Transgender Remembrance Week.

A screenshot of text that reads: Thank you all for being here as we begin Transgender Remembrance Week. Your presence
today is not just an act of attendance—it is a declaration of solidarity. In this moment, you are
standing with us. In a world that marginalizes us, kills us, and dehumanizes us, your care and
your allyship carry immeasurable weight
This year's theme is “Give us our roses while we’re still here.” This powerful phrase was
popularized by the artist B Parker, who reminded us that roses—symbols of and appreciation—
shouldn’t be reserved for our funerals. Our lives are precious, just like yours. We deserve to be
celebrated, just like you. Not just after our names are added to a list. Not just when we become
another statistic. Our worth, our joy, our humanity deserve recognition here and now, in this
moment, while we are still living, breathing, and standing in our truth, just live every living,
breathing person deserves to.
Inside, we have set up our annual ...

The trans flag atop a flagpole beside the LGBTQ+ progress flag atop another flagpole. The flags are waving in a blue sky.
