And those abbreviations will sometimes be intuitive, but don’t get too comfortable because half the time they won’t be. Also, just when you get used to abbreviations using periods, they’ll throw in apostrophes to mix it up.

It has always annoyed me that the BB is intentionally vague and unclear.

Law friends—I must be the dumbest researcher known to man, but what Bluebook rule specifies CA4 through CA11 as 4th, 5th, etc.? R6.1 deals with abbreviations and references T7 for court names, but those COAs aren’t listed in T7. Obviously these are the abbreviations, but what rule says that?!?

I’ve enjoyed almost every Untold I’ve watched. This one is good but light on coverage of the $8 million TANF scandal. It’s there, but barely.

Someone please tell me that I can finish this dissertation 30 minutes at a time because that is all I’m managing so far this summer. Despite all efforts, I can’t find larger chunks of time and now I’m starting to doubt myself.

When I’m overwhelmed or anxious I like to re-read classics. This is reminding me that these aren’t the first unprecedented times we’ve experienced—it’s been “the worst of times” before.

I should add that there are also plenty of people who are gender non conforming and this gives them no option. Bad all around for several reasons.

I hate honorifics anyway and they are especially unnecessary to order my son’s kindergarten supplies. It’s bad enough women are labeled based sorely on our status vis-a-vis men, but giving the only option as MRS just really grinds my gears.
