He is so DELIGHTED

“They want to hire a part of me.”

Everything about this, from Carrie’s viscerally presented and excellent point, to the pun, to the look on Stephen’s face like he just fell in love.  Everything is so, so good.

On the other side of the dressy scale there was a 7 months pregnant lawyer sitting on the floor at IAD

At O’Hare there was a lawyer who was about five minutes away from giving birth sitting there in her sweatpants with a sign that said “I’m a lawyer and I speak Hindi/Urdu”. Just her and her sign and supersized tea from McDonalds. 

I’ll say it again. MOSTLY WOMEN.

Why does their being mostly women matter?

Because, statistically speaking, 64% of lawyers in the United States are men, meaning that the majority of the demographic showing up should reflect this. It is also interesting to note that only 27% of American born lawyers are female- that means that a lot of these women are likely immigrants or foreign born. We have a majority of women showing up in a field where they are a minority; women who dropped everything to help defend human rights and the country. There’s no cis-male equivalency to pregnancy, but if you fail to see the importance and stength of a woman who might feasibly go into labour at any second still standing up for what is right and good whilst the majority of politicians are cowering, then I can’t help you.

“I have been working non-stop for three days and I have not made a penny,” [said a female lawyer who had been at a Texas airport and asked not to be quoted by name]. A friend, who is a male immigration lawyer, went on vacation over the weekend, she said, because he felt it wouldn’t be lucrative. “Male immigration lawyers look at this and say ‘This is not a business opportunity for me,’” she said. 

this is the purest most wholesome thing i have ever seen

For further self-reflection on purposeful and non-cruel honesty.

In To It.
