Roxane Gay opines in the New York Times:

We are at something of an impasse. The list of things that can get you killed in public is expanding every single day. Whether it’s mass shootings or police brutality or random acts of violence, it only takes running into one scared man to have the worst and likely last day of your life. We can’t even agree on right and wrong anymore. Instead of addressing actual problems, like homelessness and displacement, lack of physical and mental health care, food scarcity, poverty, lax gun laws and more, we bury our heads in the sand. Only when this unchecked violence comes to our doorstep do we maybe care enough to try to effect change.

She’s damn right.

I was sitting in our car next to my four-year-old son. He was napping. As I was dozing off, my phone rang. I picked it up to prevent my son from waking up. The voice on the other line introduced himself as someone from Alumni Relations.

He reached out to me to see how I am doing. I told him I am doing fine and prepared for him to ask me for donations. I couldn’t catch the first part he was telling me, but I could hear the second part, in which he asked me to contribute $100. I politely declined because I witness first hand how they spend money like throwing confetti.

When I said “no” to the $100 donation, he immediately hung up on me. Just a minute before, he sounded as if he genuinely cared about my being, but as soon as he couldn’t get my contribution he clearly didn’t give a fuck.

Miklós Kiss’s Type Beasts are so damn beautiful and expressive. I love his clever ligatures.

Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh are driven by sex, money, and power. They are gangsters of the corrupted Supreme Court.

I love the elegant, book-inspired typesetting on Harvard Law Review.

Steve Eder and Jo Becker write for The New York Times:

Since the rebranding, the law school has developed an unusually expansive relationship with the justices of the high court — welcoming them as teachers but also as lecturers and special guests at school events. Scalia Law, in turn, has marketed that closeness with the justices as a unique draw to prospective students and donors.

I am surprised that the NYT reporters take this long to discover the connections between Scalia Law and the Supreme Court.

Đen Vâu:

Ở trong xóm anh rất ngoan, chẳng ai thấy anh say mèm
Mẹ anh dặn anh đủ thứ, nhưng quên dặn đừng say em

Binz:

Em ơi, em ơi đừng làm khổ anh
Anh chỉ muốn chân em ở trên cổ anh

Back to the sunshine state, but I already miss the snow. Here’s a compilation video for our Mount Snow spring break. I also created a few fun shorts.

A new word I learned today in the bleeding-control training. Tourniquet: a device (such as a band of rubber) that checks bleeding or blood flow by compressing blood vessels.
