Hey, haven't told #lawfedi and #law folks we're over here in a while. If you're looking for a purpose-built #legal instance, https://esq.social has open registrations for folks in law and related fields from around the world.

We have a little form where you say why you're interested, but that's just to keep the future troll risk down.

Love to have you. We have a custom "Toot!" button that has a nerd reference you'll probably enjoy. Sometimes there's pie.

Pro-tip if you're looking for an attorney: it's almost always easier for lawyers to find a lawyer in a given area/speciality.

@Popehat actually talked about this on Serious Trouble recently - if you need a referral, it's worth asking another lawyer that you might know or have worked with, because they can often make informal inquiries that will get ignored if they came from non-lawyers.

I don't know anything about #football because, honestly, I can't watch it. I saw the videos of #DamarHamlin and it just reaffirmed that feeling.

The tragedy is set to be amplified when we have to endure his name being taken up by anti-vax lunatics pushing their (or more accurately, some talking head's) agenda.

As with guns, defenders make the cause of a tragedy anything and everything else. Appalling.

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!
