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!

@tznkai Teach the children well, my friend.
ATTENTION! WE HAVE @greg_doucette FOR ALL YOUR BURNING LEGAL QUESTIONS like "is it legal to dig a spike lined pit on my property if I call it an art installation titled THE GAPING MAW OF CAPITALISM??"
@greg_doucette @neolithicsheep Well, the masses can probably figure out how to click on your toot and see what you are responding to. It's kind of fun and quaint, really. You get the answer before the question.
@neolithicsheep @greg_doucette Pretty sure the answer is still nope, Shep (at least not without proper safeguards and warnings). Even on Mastodon.
