@nina_ecarg As someone who often practices against lawyers who think they’re going to win only because I’m a Muslim WOC in rural Ky, I gotta say, the majority of your class is going to lose a lot of cases to ppl like me.

@minman2686 @AthariCritic @hwmaqbul When y’all start with the dad jokes, I’m out. Might as well be in court with a bunch of old white men/cats.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@AthariCritic @minman2686 @hwmaqbul It’s sarcasm. My bad if that wasn’t conveyed by what I wrote.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@minman2686 @AthariCritic @hwmaqbul Yes. Communication is a two way street.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@minman2686 @AthariCritic @hwmaqbul Wait, so context can be gleaned from the ellipses?

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@minman2686 @hwmaqbul Yup. 🤷🏽‍♀️ one with poor reading and analytical skills.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@hwmaqbul @minman2686 Yup. Everything you say is exactly right and cannot be interpreted in any way except for what you meant to say.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@minman2686 @hwmaqbul I mean, I’m being criticized for interpreting what’s written and you’re saying you’re interpreting what I’m saying as antagonistic. Why is it ok for you and not me? 🤔

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@minman2686 @hwmaqbul My first response was a question.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@hwmaqbul “I'm amazed that as a lawyer you can have such poor reading and analytical skills.” Or maybe my poor skills are keeping me from understanding the deeply reverent compliment.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@hwmaqbul You can insult me personally as much as you want, doesn’t change what you actually wrote. But if the insults make you feel like a bigger person, go right ahead.

[Soha Saiyed @EmpressSoha]

@hwmaqbul Your argument is based on assumptions about the value of work & the value of a capitalist economy as underpinnings for the value of humans. Our value is derived from being God’s creation. Not from how much we contribute to the economy via work or anything else.

@SafdarAlam I have no finance skills but would like to help!

As a new #Bitcoin hundredaire, I am finding it difficult to not talk about being a new Bitcoin hundredaire.

Emily in Paris was originally about an Indian girl who moves to Paris but when I pitched it, the network executives spit in my face and called me racial slurs. The following week I repitched the exact same concept with a white girl and now I’m nominated for two Golden Globes

Being a small part of people speaking their truth is the best job ever. @RSPJlaw

The ~350% increase in my #amc stock would be much more exciting if I owned more than 1.786102 shares.
