One of the weirdest side effects of capitalism is that it neatly debunks a lot of "paranormal mysteries".
The best (and best-known) example is the Bermuda Triangle: if there were actually an unusual number of ships and planes going down, vanishing, etc. in the Triangle, insurance rates for vehicles traveling through it would be higher than for those going similar distances but not traveling through it.

Another attourney working on the case may have found a family member in another state.
“We will know in the morning if the client gets bond. If he is released to his family, he will need $ for travel and a place to stay for a night or two while things get figured out. I will update you all tomorrow morning! Thanks for springing into action!”

Are there church groups or others who might be willing and able to sponsor him so we can get him out of custody? He needs housing/basic needs and also someone with legal status who will promise to get him to court as needed. I don’t know that those need to be the same person.

From an email:
I am representing an asylum seeker who is being held at the Federal Detention Center in SeaTac. We have a bond hearing set for Wednesday morning, but the potential sponsor has fallen through at the last minute. Client is male, Latino, no kids, and comes across to me as a sweet Boy Scout. He’s deeply religious.

Kids These Days may be surprised to learn that English is a fifth dimension beyond that which is a deep-sea fish. It lives up to the point to get myself into trouble. #LAMP is fine but other stacks are fine too; I'm a day gdsagfdshdagds

fortunately, the fact that I angrily closed my Etsy account years ago and snarked about it in my "why I'm closing my account" note seems to have guaranteed that I can never order anything off Etsy in a moment of weakness, so... yay that, I guess. :|

RT @chaeronaea@twitter.com every single time i've ghosted a guy it's because i didn't feel like having a four hour conversation where i was required to explain exactly what he did "wrong", listen to him try to convince me to go out with him again, and then get called a bitch repeatedly until I blocked him
