🥰 this was the most magical, wonderful night. Nicola enchanted the crowd in a way I have never before experienced ✨
Some events feel special. Is is the setting? The audience? The book being discussed? The strange bt wonderful 270-degree, not-quite-theatre-in-the-round set up of Ravenna's Third Place Books? Or the SRO/intimacy contradiction? It all just...worked!

My reading and conversation with Kelley at Third Place Ravenna was wonderful. Here are some photos.

One sign that we are living under an authoritarian regime is that a lot of people are acting like they are living under an authoritarian regime.

My detained client was scheduled for a bond hearing this AM in a MA immigration court. He wasn't brought in, and he and his case have disappeared.

I then received this notice of activity on a nonexistent docket in which his name was changed to "N/A"

It's all happening a lot faster than I expected
