LEFT: what you think an immigration lawyer does

RIGHT: what an immigration lawyer does
(sincere thanks as always to the actual wizards at @NIPNLG & @immcounsel for getting this advisory out on the latest effort from the Board of Immigration Appeals to ignore the Supreme Court's affirmation of Congress's extremely basic notice requirements)
"immigration law? isn't that mostly just filling out forms?"
(this is not an anti-AOC tweet! We need strong leaders who will bear witness to ICE atrocities and speak out about the ongoing war on the concept of asylum in this country. But i think a lot of aspiring imm lawyers see this is as a far more glamorous job than it ever is)

I sincerely love 99% of my clients, but at least once a week the other 1% are starting to make me want to give up my law license and everything I've worked to build and make a new life for myself at sea. I can't today. I hope you can.
pre-pandemic my judge of client character was whether they could respect the week I take in July during which I am unavailable for anything other than a genuine emergency. This month it is whether they understand what it means to operate severely understaffed due to COVID
as it has everywhere else, the virus finally made it to our office in waves after all our precautions. it feels like managing a busy diner on a Friday night with one person in the kitchen and one waiter. For three weeks. I am so tired. I can't sleep.

I don't ever enjoy watching anyone encounter our criminal punishment system for the first time, is a thing I would have said a couple of minutes ago
Enjoying the occasional super entitled white person encounter a system they fairly assumed isn't supposed to be for them seems like a fair exception maybe, especially when they aren't actually locked up and asking for something this ridiculous in a case of so much public interest
Thinking of the client who was denied release from ICE custody and condemned to die in Honduras by an immigration judge for breaking into an empty dive bar at 3 AM in the coldest part of a brutal Boston winter

I grew up learning jazz on "realbooks" but had never cracked the Christmas one until I found a PDF of it last night. It's weird! Image
Did you know there's an entire traditional Christmas song about just... carrying a pig's head around Image

For 2 yrs my band has met up weekly to jam out our COVID anxieties with a view to what we're scheduled for in 17 days: a paid gig in a prime time slot at a venue we love for an enthusiastic crowd. Hoping we'll actually get to do this more than I've hoped for anything in awhile.
Can 5 middle-aged fully boosted guys make it 2 weeks through this surge without even one positive among us? Will live music even be a thing by then? Will I ever be able to solo over Freddie King's "Goin' Down"? In a just world I would only be stressing over one of these things
Details soon, but if you're in greater Boston and not unreasonably attached to your face we're ready to rock it all the way off on 1/7! Here's just a little taste (I'm on keys)
