I just really want to quit law (bc particularly bad pupillage round) and really love the profession (bc just spent the day talking about housing legal aid) at the same time and I don’t know what to do with myself 🥲

I’m at @DoughtyStPublic ‘s Rough Landlord conference - never felt more at home surrounded by other legal aid practitioners. ❤️🥰

I’m once again really poorly from mysterious winter cold and managed to order a coffee with my note app. I think that’s all I can achieve today. Pupillage apps be damned

I’m moving house right now and Twitter, I am no longer allowed to buy books. No if or buts I am simply not allowed to buy any more books. Please keep me accountable in this vulnerable time.

I don’t think there are words that can express how painful it is to listen to the world’s silence on the fall of Hong Kong.

Legal aid is such a tough area to work in but I’ve met so many colleagues that are genuinely good eggs. I am so lucky to have them in my life and call them my friends too 🫶

Look, I’m from Hong Kong, where our flats are notoriously small and bad. But I’m here showing my mum pictures of “studios” that are barely a corridor and she’s telling “yeah that’s not legal in Hong Kong” 🤡

Moving from most expensive city to rent in to the third most expensive city to rent in is really a big brain move on my end haha

London’s rental market is actual hell. I’ve been shown a £1300 per month studio with NO OUTSIDE WINDOWS🤡🤪

I’m looking at all of you, supposedly diversity supporting law firms / chambers. If you can’t afford to pay your employees a living wage you can’t afford the employee! 👀

The London Living Wage has increased to £13.85, a 5.3% rise. Over 140,000 people working for businesses across London will receive a pay rise, as more than 4,000 employers adopt the new rate. I encourage more businesses to become London Living Wage employers.

I’ve had so many fellow #LegalAid lawyers reach out to me to offer solidarity and support. Thank you. We keep trodding on….!

Having one of those weeks where my faith in #LegalAid is tested. To work in a system so utterly broken that the most vulnerable are being failed? To turn away people earning barely enough bc of a punishing threshold? To be struggling w/ £ myself after a 12 hr work day? ☹️
