I was wondering if maybe you or your followers have any input on the following: Is it a good idea to learn computer science stuff? If so, what in particular? What kinds of jobs are there that require a profile similar to the one I'm aiming to have? Is there any (maybe postgraduate) program that specifically aims to teach lawyers IT stuff (the hard technical side, not IT law LLMs and such) that I haven't been able to find on Google?

Regarding the urban planning, I was basically just wondering if maybe one of your followers works in this field and could give me some insight into what kind of work there is and how you can pursue that path.

Basically, I've heard enough of law but wouldn't mind learning something new in another field to then combine the two for a hopefully interesting job, bonus points if it makes it easier to go abroad.

Thanks so much in advance!

This is a super specialized question and I don't think you'll find excactly what you are looking on an anonymous tumblr post.

I don't know about any IT and Law programs. I am sure studying IT on top of law would help you on the technical site but...

As a lawyer married to an IT guy, I would say our way of thinking is very similiar. Computers are based on code which is basically the same thing as a law. Only the computer has no choice not to follow it. So you could take what skills you already have from law and make it work?

So here’s the thing. 

It takes, like, no effort to take a photo of your desk, of your notes. At the end of the day, that takes like thirty seconds and a few minutes in VSCO. 

But by stealing somebody else’s photo, and reposting it and claiming it as your own, what you’re doing is negating the context of the photo. The hours of hard work it took to write that essay, or make that mind-map, or to tick every last item off that bullet journal to-do list. You’re denying people - whose story, whose strife, you don’t know - that little bit of pride and satisfaction that comes from somebody else acknowledging their hard work with a reblog or like. You can’t tell, with just a photo, that the poster overcame a panic attack in the morning to kick ass and finish that giant stack of reading, or that someone going through a really bad breakup still managed to drag himself out of bed and force himself to work. 

At the end of the day, a photo’s a photo. And while technically it’s theft, in the grand scheme of things it means fuck all. But what angers me is somebody else having the audacity to trivialise the actual blood, sweat and tears that went into making the photo happen. This community is supposed to be about supporting one another, applauding each other’s achievements (whether that’s a fantastic grade or just getting out of bed), and encouraging a nurturing environment where people want to share their hard work. But by stealing photos, you’re doing none of those things. You’re denying someone who has worked their ass off that little bit of credit, in the form of a like or reblog, that they deserve. You’re turning a community about support and admiration into a popularity contest you can’t even be bothered enough to contribute to, so you just steal someone else’s work.

One of our parks has an abstract statue in it of someone reclining.

In Nov 2012, an artist made a sign as a joke, “Dude Chilling Park”, which looked exactly like our official Parks Board signs (except for the official park boards seal). 

The Vancouver Parks Board removed the sign but, after a whole lot of petitions, they put in an official one a year and a half later, also “Dude Chilling Park”, but now with the proper seal attached.

 Fast forward 7 years later. We have horrible floods. A barge washes up on Sunset Beach and gets grounded there. It has yet to be removed.

The Vancouver Parks Board, unprompted, adds a “Barge Chilling Beach” sign.

…Also, they announced this by tweet:
