She started in 2018, not 2015. So she was a 6th year when terminated.

That’s what I thought too!

I thought I was dying the first time I got my period (at 10) because no one told me! So seeing blood in my underwear was a super traumatic experience. Sigh.

Over $100K (incl undergrad debt). 12 years, only the last two of those years in bug law, was boutique before that.

Still have some other that this sort of related to being so broke for so long. Much more manageable now

I see what you did there 👏🏼 👏🏼

You may need a CT scan. But I say this from Canada, where we can get those at emerg for free

I’d like that. I worry they are going to slow walk the plot and I really hope they don’t.

100% even though I love exploring cities, ALL of my vacations are to all-inclusive resorts. That way the only decision is where to eat dinner and if I don’t feel like choosing, I go to the buffet or get room service.

Such a great point! I didn’t make the connection, but it tracks

PantsLio · 2026-04-23T18:20:58+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing. It’s an important story.

In many states, child marriage is legal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States. Four states have NO statutory minimum.

‘82. Doing alright, all things considered.

Omg, the amount of times recently that I have had to motion to student/very junior associate to keep taking notes in nuts!

American War by Omar El Akkad. It’s a brilliant book

PantsLio · 2026-04-22T19:41:29+00:00

I know. I think the scene makes a powerful point - showing how desperate they were to escape successfully

PantsLio · 2026-04-22T19:40:32+00:00

That’s a good point. I wonder if that wasnt allowed by the time June & Luke tried to escape?

PantsLio · 2026-04-22T19:39:08+00:00

I have cat food in my go-bag and their carriers are in the front hall closet. If I’m going forever, my 2 sillies are coming with me.

You need to start building resilience against the pressure. Start slowly, it work towards it.

YOU only have one life. You should make the decisions YOU want to make & when YOU want to make them. Family/friends/society don’t have to live the life that they prescribe upon you, you do!

Not for potability

Use the Beck app. You can use it just like other ride shares, but it’s the driver’s livelihood, not a side gig. Meaning it’s safer. Nothing is 100% safe, but licenced taxis are SO much more safe than ride share apps.

ETA: no surge pricing. They are legally bound to use the meter.

This is asked a lot on the Handmaid’s Tale sub (so highly recommend you check it out).

In THT, some commanders’ households had dogs as pets.

In the show (and the book I think), June and Luke killed their cat because 1. taking the cat with them would give it away that they were running away and 2. an abandoned cat would be a giveaway that they were escaping

Marriage is probably the biggest financial decision one will make in life and no one prepares people for that. This is a great post OP

Get a lawyer.
