I’m two hops away from Hugh Hefner, which makes me three hops away from every famous person in a 50-year span
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

The IL general assembly just passed legislation that would:
- ban ICE from making arrests at/near courthouses
-protect hospital patients
-protect students and student data
-affirms (AGAIN) that ICE is legally banned from daycares without a real warrant
Headed to Pritzker. Not worried there. 🙌

Given how ICE’s escalating tactics correspond with my escalating correspondence with my mental health professionals: yup
“Following Ryan Walters’s resignation, we have noticed a substantial decrease in crisis calls from Oklahoma, Lance Preston," Rainbow Youth Project director said.
"The relief expressed by callers is palpable, and we are grateful for the positive impact his departure has had."
"The relief expressed by callers is palpable, and we are grateful for the positive impact his departure has had."
Following the Resignation of Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who was a fan of Libs of TikTok, mental health is improving among young people in the state.

More (cleaned up) citation drama. This time from the Iowa Court of Appeals.

#LegalWriting
![I continue on, beyond what is needed for the court to decide this case, to
explain my persistent use of the legal-citation parenthetical (cleaned up) despite
the contrary guidance of the latest edition of the Bluebook. See The Bluebook:
A Uniform System of Citation R. B5.3, at 9 (Columbia L. Rev. Ass’n et al. eds.,
22d ed. 2025) [hereinafter “Bluebook”]. Some may question—perhaps rightly—
the importance of such a technicality. But I find the organic adoption of
(cleaned up) to be a remarkable innovation in legal citation that improves the
readability of judicial opinions and written advocacy. And (cleaned up) more
accurately describes the practice that it notes than the Bluebook’s alternative:
(citation modified). In short, (cleaned up) is worth saving. And I hope that the
bench and the bar will not be bullied by the Bluebook into letting it die.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o6o2u2byc2cellhzzisujort/bafkreia274pesx4xpb5qezlvgcq4dalucdzhrgozrf4ys3mjrmlvy2gcze@jpeg)

Hey folks, it’s COVID and flu season. You should wear a mask to protect your health, the health of those around you, and unlawful activity by the gestapo

Someone in the class said “you are knowledgeable, do you have any advice?”
I thought about them, and the ICE raids today, and how far they had all come.
I said “never, ever let anyone tell you you’re worth less than you are. Believe in yourself, because you are all worthy of respect.”

I just now came back from an English class geared towards refugees and immigrants. I explained what an eDiscovery paralegal does.
The fact that they’d made it from their country to that classroom is proof enough that they’re intelligent people. The only barrier is complex vocabulary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. Unmasking, outing, de-anonymising? Not doxxing. blacksky.community/profile/did:...
Doxxing vs. unmasking:
* Doxxing = publicizing highly specific personal info of an individual (& freq. facilitates intimidation/threats).
* Unmasking = publicizing name/identifying photo/city-level location for bystander accountability for someone's pseudonymous behavior.
