@bblyssa01 @WaningWaterfall @AirNugget @irishvikingette @JulietteG987 @DrDrAbhiKole I’ve never actually had the experience! I’d probably be shocked, and who knows what other lawyers would do. Nice notes in the mailbox asking to buy got nice notes sent back. Strangers knocking? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@bblyssa01 @WaningWaterfall @AirNugget @irishvikingette @JulietteG987 @DrDrAbhiKole Basically, I said that just knocking on my door and asking to buy wouldn’t be welcome. (Because kids! Dogs! Zoom interruptions! Privacy!) Because I’m a lawyer, I said it like a lawyer. Really not exciting. Quickly exhausting.

@1000CrazyWomen @jharrison2560 @DrDrAbhiKole My list starts with “this smells like low-key housing discrimination.”

@slouisepetersen I was 6 years behind Gwyneth at Spence. She had graduated, but proximity made her seem realistic. It took ~20 years for me to get that “Gwyneth” = “realistic” was a truly fucked-up framework. Your writing is deeply relatable and a joy to read!

My personal life has become an Ethicist column.

@djsziff I would have loved this so much as a student!

[Katherine de Vos Devine @devosdevine]

@benwurgaft I do! Oh, I feel less weird now.

@khemaridh You know that $10K A “whatcha want” feedback form? I want more about this. Any format. Public. Private. Free. Paid. Please and thank you.

@jessejanderson HAHAHA. When my doctor goes out of town he lets me know weeks in advance (so we can plan for the three refusals and paper script pickup).

@olgakhazan My psychiatrist (who front-lines non-pharma) is extremely into infrared sauna therapy for anxiety.

[Katherine de Vos Devine @devosdevine]

@McCJohnW @Sonia_Kang @MiddleSeaHist Yup.

@SaraBWarf Give yourself plenty of time. It's sensually overwhelming. Pizzas (mushroom!). Fresh pastas. Crab cakes. Poke bowls. Choc chip cookies. Macarons. And anything where quality really matters: sushi-grade fish, dry-aged meat, the locked wine section.

@SeanBellring @JessicaValenti Are you suggesting that shaming women when their intimate photos are revealed without their consent is comparable? Sharing the person who shared without consent, maybe. The unwitting subject of abuse? No.

@jkbjournalist Because fiction soothes my fried nervous system better than alcohol and doesn’t lead to hangovers.

@brianlfrye @greenfly360 @ItsMattsLaw I enjoyed the hell out of this and am so happy to know about you, @brianlfrye

[Katherine de Vos Devine @devosdevine]

@MoiraDonegan Yes. Thank you.

@halkyardo I am the depends-on-what-kind type.
