I love my family, but the level of screaming in our house during any given holiday (even a calmer one) is distressing, so I relish time with friends when I’m visiting “home.” This evening, I met up with a friend I’ve known since 5th grade, and we went to this fun Irish pub and listened to live music and had a few drinks and then danced even though there was no dance floor. Then we went back to her new apartment and decided to become pen-pals while we listened to nostalgic music–we even wrote the first letters we’re going to post in the mail.

It was so darling.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Through the Years

A groundbreaking litigator for women’s rights before being appointed to the bench, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has worn many aspects in her eighty-five years. On the Justice’s birthday, flip through some photographs of her as a girl in Brooklyn, as a law graduate who left Columbia as co-valedictorian (but with no job offers), as a young mother, and as an advocate whose greatest legacy may be in the cases that she argued before what was then an all-male Supreme Court—and won.
