An iconic moment from my youth was after not making the softball team, my teacher (also the softball coach) told me on the last day of school that “if you train this summer, you’ll make the team.” I said “Um no thanks, I’m going to be cheerleader.” And walked out of her room
@MPowersNorrell@JJFLORENCE6 I'm a current law student and did a big project about septic regulations throughout Charleston County this semester and we definitely do have a lot going on! Fascinating stuff.
law school is a minefield. Someone asked the prof, “so, personal autonomy and dignity are NOT fundamental rights?” and they didn't even bat an eye. it is wild here yall
Was nearby, so I went to the @NikkiHaley rally. At 11am, no line, walked right in. It was at a bus terminal and more than half empty. Taking Care of Business played twice. An American Idol winner sang. I'll give her 3 months tops

1. Today in Con Law we studied Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States. Civil Rights case from 1964; the motel didn't allow Black patrons, they eventually lost. What's not in the book is: John Lewis did a sit in there. Moreton Rolleston the owner eventually went bankrupt (cont'd)
Today my Property professor started off class by telling us how relevant this class is because one day we will all become homeowners. Idk who’s gonna tell him but….
@robinson_j2 Juleon it’s dark out here. He skipped over the whole section on progressive property theory. Come to charleston anytime and I’ll sneak you in
@robinson_j2 It’s tough here in SC too - charleston county didn’t even have a housing court until a few years ago. Tenets could bring it up in small claims but would get dismissed.
