This is... amazing to know, actually, as someone who randomly gets migraines with visual aura from random academic article PDFs. Especially makes sense why certain letter combinations are particularly aura'd. I might try to see about OCR'ing and changing fonts when I have that.
Brains are weird!
I know I've said it before but it bears repeating: I really appreciate how you take complex legal/philosophical concepts and condense them into a format of very few words that makes tons of sense.
Here are the bears repeating: 🐻🐻🐻
"But! Before you go know this!"
But I did not want to know this. I am already outside, down the street, in line to get lunch. There's a breeze and a bird lands on my shoulder. "You're good at capitalism," it says. Thanks, bird. I know.

Me: heck yeah I'm gonna go into a field where I can effect change through the legal and political systems!
Me: Oh fuck oh fuck now I have to pay attention to the legal and political systems around us
(This post brought to you by my desire to bury my head in the sand just for a few days.)
Teaching the constant changes in labor law precedent between administrations can be challenging. It must be nice to teach a subject with settled interpretations, like Con Law or Admin Law.
WE remember the convenience pitches, but sanitation/hygiene/health pitches were VERY common at the time:
Our Brand Won't Kill You
Thanks to SCOTUS we'll find out empirically, again, which brands of food will kill us.
