@hi_cial the way they're so complicated, and the fact that they actually go into explaining the answer to an extent, means that they're not actually that little--the segment in this week's video was 17 minutes long, for instance
-F

@hi_cial they're really long and involved and usually end with something like "what crimes can this person be charged with, and what legal defenses could they claim for them" or "who can sue who and why"
-F

@hi_cial no they're all really complicated questions in really amusing ways where people react in completely absurd ways and wild coincidences happen because they're trying to cram in as many potential crimes or causes for civil suits as possible
-F

@hi_cial ah sorry

it would be nice if they had transcripts--id on't have the energy to transcribe one right now and i don't know where they're getting them from

@hi_cial youtube.com/watch?v=McJpTEvixL the one for this week starts around 2:20

I think they've also got a bunch of the bar exam question segments edited into their own videos on their channel but youtube is being slow and i can't get them for you right now
-F

we're watching a playthrough of ace attorney and occasionally they bring in actual questions from past bar exams as a pre-stream thing and holy *fuck* those questions are wild
-F

i have no idea how that works and it's probably very imprecise

When I was a Mills student, my circle of friends included somebody who had been unhoused before moving into the dorms and somebody who's dad actually was on the cover of Forbes.

When I posted about this to birdsite, somebody replied saying she went to Mills straight out of foster care and ended up socialising with the daughters of oil barons.

I thought this was normal in higher education, but it turns out that it's really really not. Most classrooms are fairly or mostly monocultural - one age, one class.

Mills's strong emphasis on community and it's diversity make it a place focussed on social justice. It's long been a bastion of LGBT achievement. It was the first Historically Women's College to stop asking trans women for paperwork.

Mills is special. Please spare a moment for Mills and make a #SaveMills tweet, write the governor of California or otherwise express solidarity for the women, enbies and trans people who study there now and will study there in future.
