What's enraging me: a lack of menstrual equity, people not getting vaccines, breed specific laws.

Dog mama. She/her.

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

I finally get to join in the pet shenanigans of #lawtwitter and/or #dogtwitter.

I'm so excited to introduce my little lady: Freya!

She's decompressing with myself and Boyfriend for now, but she's already too cute.

What does the law have to do with menstruation? - A lot!

Read the many fantastic contributions exploring menopause, dignity, prisons and immigration detention, surveillance, and so much more - including my piece on menstruation & human rights.

@drizzy__dree Thank you love! I’ve been sneakily following the progress of the little one - hope you’re doing well!

And I just passed my second bar exam in a year.

I am still FURIOUS that there isn’t #diplomaprivilegeforall and that I had to take two exams to have full UBE transferability.

BUT - I DID IT 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

Just took my second bar exam in 9 months. I’m exhausted 😓

Still FURIOUS I had to retake the thing after the Oct. 2020 bar didn’t transfer my passing score everywhere in the UBE.

Still FURIOUS @ExamSoft is malfunctioning.

Still FURIOUS we don’t have #diplomaprivilegeforall.

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

Also, to continue to plug them: go support @NA4ELP and @MPandtheBar. They’re both amazing organizations.

Today I asked the Min. of Education @Sflecce why First Nations schools are not included in Ontario free menstrual products program. I was not given an answer.

Jurisdictional issues should not be dividing provincial and First Nations schools and students.

Sunday scaries ain’t so scary with my girl, Freya. She’s conquering her fear of going outside so I should get over being worried about court on Monday 😅

Getting work done in the early morning makes me feel like a productive goddess.

Afternoon will come to turn me into a slug, but for now, I’m a being of caffeine and magic ✨

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

@legallyypink Also, consider the Jane Collective, back before Roe. Women working to provide safe abortions after realizing underground “abortionists” lacked lied medical licenses.

Women are going to find a way. It just hurts that we have to think about this again.

@legallyypink They’ll pry my IUD from my cold, dead internal organs…

Real talk: there are natural abortifacients and pharmacological solutions. The issue is safety and efficacy. Pregnant people are going to die because of these restrictions.

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

Pregnancy and menstruation are not issues exclusive to one gender. They are human issues, affecting men, women, and non-binary folks.

Anyway, @WPeriyasamy speaks truth and any TERFs or ignorant commentators can fight me.

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

@LizCGil @WPeriyasamy It does take some getting used to - and I sometimes slip up and saying menstruating women!

That being said: menstruation is a human issue. Men, women and those who are between ALL menstruate.

@RayHayden @ExamSoft I somehow managed without technical issues on a 4+-year-old laptop for both exams. The exam this time around was SUCH a terrible game of black/blue/white screen roulette, and I feel kinda guilty for getting "lucky" because I had no issues!

So, the DC bar exam opens registration tomorrow, and I am exhausted. I have been studying for the #barexam for the 9 of the past 12 months.

To be clear to the #diplomaprivilege trolls out there, I passed in October 2020.

So, why do I have to keep studying?

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

@legallyypink Listen, I want you to do this only if you feel like you want to! As someone who just took the bar again because she HAD to, don't be forced into petty bullshit.

Buuuuut.... I'd love if you were petty in the newsletter 😉

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

@drizzy__dree OMG - congrats! Baby is gonna have some very adorable dog-siblings 🥰

[MK Cunningham, Esq. @MKCunningham91]

@RACHELshaw7 @lawlessloveJD May the bar exam deities grant you ten extra points on the exam!

Thank you!
