Howdy all! I've been largely neglecting this place as seemingly all of Lawtwitter made a mass exodus to Bluesky and I ended up in a flurry of activity due to being put on a "women in law" list. I don't really have the bandwidth for as many platforms as I'm currently on. If for any reason you want to find me I'm @ Whenisayj.bsky.social on Bluesky and @ bakerroskie on Instagram. I'll try to pop back here from time to time but I'm sure I'll never be able to catch up. Sorry, it's nothing personal!
