Oof. I've been holding on to this one for too long.
Today’s piece builds on Global Humanist Shoptalk, Season 2, where I mentioned international arbitration for "Global Finance".
This one's only partly free to read. The first part explores the dehumanization that already exists in SCOTUS cases.
The paid subscriber section then explores international arbitration: a major forum for legal disputes quietly shaping the world of law ahead.
(Next piece? Free, & much lighter!)

Sometimes I hold on to my work too tightly - as with this piece, along with a few others coming down the pipe.
When I do, it's often because I've let the perfect become the enemy of the good.
And good grief, is that tiring.
Here, I wanted to start a conversation that I can return to later on, around a site of ongoing learning about some complex and important topics.
So even though this is a chewier theme than most, difficult to cover in a single piece... it's a start. The rest will come. 👍
Also--
Hope you're all being good to your weary noggins today.
Today, a fellow writer messaged me to tell me how low he was feeling after getting some tough feedback on his work.
Just, out of the blue, because he knew I was a safe person to talk to about being discouraged.
I don't think he realizes how much his reaching out helped *me* feel less useless, too. It's so easy to get caught up in our own fool brains.
We uplift each other in so many ways every day.
Thank you all for yours. 💛
