Thanksgiving

Don't be a Grinch. It just makes more sense in most cases.

Or made it -- depending on your thoughts on jiggly canned cranberry sauce.

Notes to my (legal) self.

The true meaning of Thanksgiving is to nourish your body for Black Friday.

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving dinner without this lawyer.

It is still important to relax and recharge around the holidays, even though self-employment is much more of an eat-what-you-kill system than working as an associate at a firm.

If you want to talk activism, then keep it among your echo chamber and away from the main table.

* Oregon is about to pass the CROWN law which may help our coaches and coworkers achieve a goal they’ve been struggling with for a very long time — leaving black folks the hell alone. [OPB]

Or maybe perfected it? Either way, the jiggly Thanksgiving staple is due to a lawyer.

Don’t let the glitz and glam of an Instagram picture, a feel-good LinkedIn post for 'viral' likes, or another person’s 'perfect' holiday table setting dictate your own season.

Ask yourself: Am I studying to keep up with an imaginary ideal student who I think is in a cave studying without distraction 24/7?

The history of the Thanksgiving holiday.
