Pro tip: Outlook allows you to delay delivery for emails. Don’t be a jerk if you work on thanksgiving and you don’t need an immediate response. Delay delivery until Friday.

DGC 1, this is the jerk move I’m talking about. You think you’re doing someone a favor, but they’re going to see their work email pop up on their phone and have to spend time reading it and thinking about it.

It’s by no means a jerk move. What if someone is already working Thanksgiving and would prefer just to knock it out that day instead of also torching Friday? Who am I to make that decision for them?

For the recipient that isn’t working - if he/she/they doesn’t have enough self control and boundary setting to see an email that says “no need to respond until [date]” and then let it go, they would likely benefit from some counseling.

Or just put in subject line/body “(No response needed until 11/27)” and let the recipient decide when they want to handle. Recipients need to exercise self control too.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
