Thrilled to be here with amazing young lawyers!

[North Carolina Bar Association @NCBAorg]

Wilmington, here comes the @NCBAorg #YLD for our Winter Quarterly Meeting, lots of fun, and great fellowship!  We're getting excited! 🕺

What to do? Be intentional and find the power in self-care (diet, sleep, exercise, play), coping (meditation, manage anger, adapting goals), and seeking help (social support, treatment). @NCBAorg #ncbaam19 #lawyerwellness

[Sarah M. Saint @smsaint12]

We’ve all heard that lawyers develop anxiety and depression at higher rates than the general population. April Harris-Britt boiled down what that looks like, how it can affect your practice, and, more importantly, how it can impact your health. @NCBAorg #ncbaam19 #lawyerwellness

[Sarah M. Saint @smsaint12]

Happy employees lead to happy clients. Thanks, @9inchmarketing! @NCBAorg #ncbaam19 #lawyerwellness

[Sarah M. Saint @smsaint12]

Looking forward to hearing how #wellness and mindfulness make us all better attorneys at the #NCBA Annual Meeting! @NCBAorg

According to the @lgbtbar, Senator Markey (D-MA) and Congressman Kennedy III (D-MA) introduced a bill that would prohibit the use of gay and trans* "panic" defenses, which use a victim's sexual orientation/gender identity as defenses to assault and murder. https://t.co/PuA3in56ZB

NC Senate budget removes the ability of local school districts to sue their county commissioners when there are funding disputes- such as a commission not funding or underfunding the LEA. NC school dists do not have taxing authority- must rely on state & local dollars. #nced

I help folks change their names and gender markers on government identification documents, but even with these changes, traveling presents unique challenges for #trans* folks.

[Advocates for Trans Equality @TransEquality]

Travelling by air in the future?

Know what to expect.

#GSO city councilperson Outling proposed an ordinance that will require commercial building owners to maintain them in “good repair,” just as homeowners must. Perhaps this will encourage more businesses to put roots down in @DowntownGSO. https://t.co/X1lTkiM4U8

There aren’t enough women, people of color, or LGBTQ+ folks represented in public monuments, minimizing the effect world changers had on our history. I’m glad to see NYC is doing something to change this.

[NYC Cultural Affairs @NYCulture]

Major news on the eve of #WorldPride: NYC’s next public monument will honor pioneering trans activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera! #SheBuiltNYC

I am thrilled for Jim & Barbara Goodmon, leaders of the @AJFfoundation, a powerhouse of good in NC and the financial provider of my @WFULawSchool education. A well-deserved honor!

[Public School Forum @theNCForum]

We are looking forward to seeing so many of our public education friends tonight at the Raleigh Convention Center as we honor Jim & Barbara Goodmon with our 2019 Jay Robinson Education Leadership Award. #NCED

Sweet potatoes and yams are often confused with each other. However, they have very different health benefits! 🍠

For example sweet potatoes are rich in anti-angiogenic carotenoids, while yams are low in them. Next time you're in the grocery storegrab the sweet potatoes!

[Sarah M. Saint @smsaint12]

@alanblinder Congratulations!! I can’t wait to read your coverage on the Tide.

#SCOTUS recently rejected an appeal asking whether schools must bar students from bathrooms based on their gender identity, letting stand the ruling that a school district may allow #trans students to use the bathroom consistent with their gender identity. https://t.co/d0siygBs3T

BREAKING: Maine becomes the 17th state in the U.S. to protect youth from the dangerous practice of so-called "conversion therapy" as @GovJanetMills signs bill into law. #mepolitics

#WFULaw Prof. Marie-Amélie George (@ProfMAGeorge) authors forthcoming Northwestern University Law Review (@NwULRev) article, "Framing Trans Rights." Read the article at https://t.co/drZTJxaRaJ

The #4thCircuit emphasized that school districts will not be held liable for procedural violations of the #IDEA when the student’s academic shortcomings stem from the student’s refusal to attend school or complete his assignments. #sped #specialeducation https://t.co/nP6cwGp2z9

[Sarah M. Saint @smsaint12]

In his article, Michael A. Naclerio argues that states need to increase charter school accountability mechanisms in order to ensure that students with disabilities may access and receive a #FAPE in #charterschools. #SpecialEducation #sped #IDEA https://t.co/ISpNr2W53K

May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. Many chronic mental health issues arise in childhood and adolescence. When they affect a child’s education, they can constitute a qualifying emotional disturbance under the #IDEA. #SpecialEducation #sped
