I know this lawyer guy, and can vouch for his passion for the way law can be engaged to achieve justice. I'm confident that Daniel will take care of his clients, and do everything he can to protect their rights. All my best wishes for a successful new law firm!

I know many students had their lives torn upside down due to the cancellation of LSO licensing examinations. I'm sorry I can't help all of you with that. However, maybe I can help one of you. We can help each other. I have approx. one month's worth of paid work to offer. 1/7

A quick thread on in the importance of being careful what data you share - even if you're the Queen. Today, Her Maj tweeted this lovely picture, gor bless er, etc. You might think that the contents of the red box would be official business. And you'd be right. 1/6

At the very end of this clip, dude’s face has a look that says he jumped overboard to catch the big fish but then he realized: “Oh shit! I don’t know how to swim!”
I got my shot to get back to interacting with the people I care about and doing the fun things I enjoy. I got my shot to help protect vulnerable people and those who can't for medical or other valid reasons. @Dortmouse1 @onealbanerjee @LadyScorcher @CarymaRules @Thisisupcountry
