Nerd about many things, legal and otherwise. Not your lawyer, not giving legal advice, not speaking for anyone but me.

Remember that EVERY safeguard you take helps this pandemic. This isn't all-or-nothing. Every step you take - *each time* you wear a mask, filter air, get tested, get boosted, avoid crowded spaces, keep your sick kid home, etc. - reduces risk and decreases total infections.

[Nix Hedden @LoProCo]

Seeing people despairing and saying there's no point in precautions now. But that's just not true! Every COVID infection puts you at higher risk of bad outcomes, so fewer is better. Precautions help prevent strep, flu, and RSV, too. Don't give up. It's worth it to keep trying.

@BellanMelissa You are doing a good job of being the best at it. Hope you feel better soon!

LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in.
I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool)
Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)

@yooty @JAC_OnTheBrazos When your headache is better, would love a link to the sticky rice bowls because I've yet to find microwavable rice that isn't terrible but would be excited to discover one that's acceptable!

Not law school graduations, but Massachusetts still publicly posts the list of people whose bar admission is pending to allow the public to object...

I should be able to object at law school graduations

Today is the first ever #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay. I wrote about some of the disparities in more detail and how the day came about @19thnews.

@michellekaycamp @mindfullyemily Wait, are you saying you're capable of supporting people whose lives are different than yours without condemning them as terrible people? I think some people don't know that's an option...

[Nix Hedden @LoProCo]

@caitlincanahey Nah, I'll just blame it on one of the seven ish quasi moons

@ProfessorAtkins @SaltLawOrg Love your glasses and that sweater/jacket - and extra love for the high-quality mask! Thank you for wearing it ❤️

Still think about the partner who told junior associate me not to use exclamation points and please/thank you so often in my *internal* emails because it was "unprofessional."

[Danielle ☁️ @folksyswift]

Highkey love women who use a lot of explanation points in their work emails. Like yes ma’am let me know you’re friendly and a little anxious!

[Nix Hedden @LoProCo]

@strowhiro @ellewoodsgolfs When I started my current job, various members of my team and leadership welcomed me with emails full of exclamation points and emoji. Some ALL CAPS excitement, too. It was an incredible affirmation that I was in the right place! (Yes I edited this tweet to have fewer !s...)

Amber Thurman went to the hospital with telltale signs of sepsis. It took 20 hours for doctors to intervene with a dilation and curettage procedure after abortion became a felony in Georgia.

By then, it was too late.

@cseguin03 I can't eat hope though

@lizettms I hear happily rocking gray hair is in! But so is doing whatever you want with your hair because it's your hair.

[Nix Hedden @LoProCo]

@profallentweets All that matters is that you enjoyed them ☺️
(Also, based on the canons of construction, I'm assuming you made the ice cream, which looks awesome!)

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

Amber Thurman was 28 years old. She loved being a mom to her six-year-old boy.

Her last words to her own mother: "“Promise me you’ll take care of my son.”

Her son will grow up without his mom because of Donald Trump's Dobbs' decision and Georgia's MAGA abortion ban.

@hannnahmmarie We got taken to SCOTUS as summer associates. They handed down a single not particularly interesting decision that day and admitted some people to the SCOTUS bar. We all still loved it! So I honestly wouldn't worry too much about being "interesting enough" for them...

[Nix Hedden @LoProCo]

@ItsMattsLaw @heyitsalexsu She did the back and forth between Sales and Legal and I sent, I know this genre

[Nix Hedden @LoProCo]

My colleague now thinks I'm a mind reader because she shared the text of a joke about the business and Legal and I asked her if it was @ItsMattsLaw or @heyitsalexsu. (For the record, it was Matt.)

@ItsMattsLaw @heyitsalexsu "Do we have to comply with laws if we don't know they exist"
