Case: Netchoice v Wilson, 3:26-cv-00543, (D.S.C.)

Netchoice's litigation page: Netchoice v Wilson

Netchoice filed the motion for preliminary injunction on March 9. It isn't available on the docket in RECAP yet (and I'm over my threshold for PACER fees that will get refunded for the quarter, or else I'd put it there!) but it is available on Netchoice's litigation page: Motion for Preliminary Injunction. They haven't included the declarations, but here's Dreamwidth's declaration as filed, authored by yours truly. Because of the wild incoherence of so many of the provisions of this law, many of which were new because a lot of states have switched to using different model legislation, I had to write almost all of our declaration for this one from scratch (while recovering from a lumbar puncture, lying flat on my back in bed: never let it be said I am not completely extra about the lengths to which I will go to fight against this bullshit), so much less of it will look familiar than usual, but boy was I mad.

We'll let you know when the judge makes a ruling on the PI! And three cheers as always for the Netchoice team and for the outside litigation counsel, who is Lehotsky Keller Cohn for this one and who put in massively heroic effort to get this filed as fast as possible thanks to the law taking immediate effect.

diglossia (dai-GLOS-ee-uh) or diaglossia (dee-uh-GLOS-ee-uh) - (ling.) n., the use of two varieties of the same language in different social contexts of a speech community.


Typically, one is a high/prestigious mode and the other a low/everyday mode. A common example is High German and Swiss German, common throughout German-speaking Switzerland, but many countries where there's an official version used in schools and broadcasts (often based on the dialect of the capital) and local variants have this (outside the capital, that is). As a linguistics term, introduced in 1959 by American sociolinguist Charles A. Ferguson from Latin diglōssia, bilingual (with influence of French diglossie, bilingual), from Ancient Greek díglōssos, again same meaning.

OK, folks. I am behind on everything, and also helpfully experiencing rolling waves of angst.

I am therefore going electron-free in order to ease some of the wear-and-tear on the auctorial nervous system.

Y'all stay safe. Be kind to each other. Feel free to talk among yourselves. Older hands know where the snacks and beverages are -- help out the newbies, 'k?

Later.

Triggered by a couple of things recently where people were shocked that people would tell them that they were in love within the first few months.

And my general view is that if you aren't incredibly excited to spend loads of time with me and wander around holding hands while grinning a lot within the first few weeks of dating then we are probably not compatible.

Things to Do to Help Me Feel Better

If I’m in a bad mood I put on some fast beat music and sit down and do Chair aerobics. It’s so fun while being good for you. And within ten minutes I feel physically and mentally better. I’m rarely in a bad mood, but every now and then it sneaks up on me.

How about you?

Think of someone from your life you miss terribly. What would you say to them?

I had a dear friend that married young like we did. They had a little boy four months old, named Roman. He was so darling. I was pregnant with my first child at the time. Our friends were Denny and Thais. They went to see their parents one weekend and a train hit their car, killing both Thais and Roman. We were all heartbroken, but Denny lost touch with reality. His family asked if I would stay at the hospital with him during the funerals. I was 18, nine months pregnant and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. We tried to stay close to Denny but he was really out there. He told my hubby that the baby I was carrying, was his. Poor thing. I miss Thais but I didn’t know how to handle Denny. So, I missed both of them. And that precious baby, was so missed. If I had a chance to talk to Thais, I would thank her for our friendship and tell her how much I would miss her. Now, I’m sad.

12. When was the last time you vacuumed the floor?

Gosh like 3 years ago. I have pulmonary hypertension and can’t do many physical things. Hubby does the strenuous work. I dust, clean bathrooms and do all the cooking. He’s such a good guy. He never complains. But he loves that I cook each night or every other night. Hubby vacuums the floor every other day, unless it’s real windy. Then it’s every day.

How about you?

Burn, SF

No!  I do not want to burn SF!  I did burn brush up here though. Spent 6 hours tending the fire yesterday, after the weekly Henry St construction meeting on Zoom.
Burning sounds so easy. Light a fire and watch the pile burn, right?  Not. Light the fire and feed it absolutely constantly for hours. Rake around it to prevent it from escaping.  Throw bits of unburned wood back into the middle, add branch after branch to the top. Drag in new pieces, cut them up with the chainsaw or loppers and add, add logs. Lots of logs of all sizes. Keep picking up  and dragging over more stuff. Keep cutting things, or breaking branches into 4' or less chunks.  Wonder why you are hot, tired and thirsty and realize you haven't stopped for 3.5 hours. Stop for 5 minutes, sit down, drink water and watch the fire start to fade and die. Get back up and pile on more material.
