IDK if this has ever been recommended by the pod ever, but I consider Dean Spade's essay "For Those Considering Law School" essential reading for people considering law school (which I was, once!) as a path to social justice work. I really can't hype up Dean's work enough

2025-09-23 14:27:31 +0000 UTCOver 15 years ago, I dropped out of law school after 3 semesters. During it, My hair grayed, my immune system was so shot that I got a random bacterial infection they couldn’t diagnose AND meningitis, and ya know what? I’d go again. The real life value of ANY legal training has been invaluable as a POC. Never paying the loans off tho 😆
