Like, why can citizens not use ignorance of the law as a defense, even though many of us don’t have access to all laws that pertain to us *or* access to education to understand them
But corporations who fully pay people to know and comply with the law—they somehow are not liable in the same way? 😒
But every once in a while it comes home in a new way
Like reading in the CA Labor Code that employers face no penalties for violating a bunch of laws, b/c maybe they didn’t know it was illegal 😢
AKA the “Whoopsie doodle defense”
Intellectually I *know* that our society is structured to protect the government and corporations at the expense of the ppl
* Yes I’m going to set up direct deposit, but they require a physical voided check, and who uses personal checks anymore?!
** I’m not going to try to get anybody charged with a misdemeanor (although the head of payroll knows better and prob deserves it)
Also learned that failure to pay employees on time can be charged as a misdemeanor 😬
Rare win for the working class
So the school district where I work lost my paycheck and is dragging its feet about issuing a new one
And today I learned that my district’s once-a-month pay schedule and the timing of payday (11-14 days after the end of the pay period) are probably *both* violations of California Labor Code
🫠
For the record, I’m obsessed with the show, but those parts just take me out of the fantasy 🤷
Was the dialect coach for Heated Rivalry so busy with Connor Storrie that they didn’t have time to help the actors playing characters from Brooklyn (Kip) and Detroit (Rose) not sound really, *really* Canadian 🥲
My middle-class parents both worked full-time
My grandmother worked full-time, and my grandfather worked a full-time office job on top of farming
🤷
Yeah, although I don’t think I believe there is a non-twisted view of maleness 🙃
Since the invention of male vis-à-vis female (b/c sex is no less a social construct than is gender)—the assertion of difference—was probably always done to justify and/or create a power/submission relation
Absolutely. Seems like transphobic men save their hate for trans women not only b/c on some level they recognize them as women and hate them like they hate all women
But also that it bothers them less that someone could “gain” “male” privilege than that someone could lose it (& is thus vulnerable)
It’s interesting / it really sucks to study homophobia throughout the centuries and be reminded that it’s mostly motivated by transphobia 😪
Like, a lot of opposition to gay sex/relationships is and has always been: “But this is men doing what women are supposed to do 🤨”
My guardian gay demon ready to watch me make more

Burton H. Throckmorton, Jr. (great name!) did a harmony of the Gospels (NRSV) called Gospel Parallels: A Comparison of the Synoptic Gospels
That she would find a nice rebound bi boy after the inevitable divorce
Lord hear our prayer 🙏🏻
Thanks for clarifying! Sorry for assuming.
It sounds good! I quite like Skarsgård after seeing him in Murderbot, and I have no doubt he delivers 🙂
2. Authentic performance is not the only relevant consideration. ‘Ars gratia artis’ is bullshit; we live in a society, and I care about opportunities for minorities to help tell minority stories being taken away from us.
Hi! You don’t know me 🙂
1. I haven’t seen Pillion; it’s not playing anywhere near me, but I’m looking fwd to seeing it.
There are rumors
Should straight people be [ ] at all?
B/c the entertainment industry is famously a meritocracy, and being a minority is absolutely the same as being a member of the majority culture 😒
99% of the comments were a variation of “it only matters who can act better” or “it’s the same as gay actors playing straight roles”
🤦🏼♀️
A FB post from PinkNews that reads: “What do you think about straight actors playing gay roles? 🤔”
Both this question and the comments were designed in a laboratory to annoy me specifically 😠
I wish I didn’t know about this 🥲
Our kids are playing Mario Tennis Fever rn
TENNIS on VALENTINE’S DAY?!
TENNIS, where love means nothing?!!😭
I just learned I might qualify for Canadian citizenship b/c an ancestor was born in Canada 🙌🏻🇨🇦
Def going to pursue it, in case things go south here, I can go north ❤️🤍❤️
12-year-old me: “Figure skating is so gay” (pejorative)
40-year-old me: “Figure skating is so gay” (complimentary)
The only sports I know now are Drag Race and gay hockey 💃🏼👸🏼🏳️🌈🏒
I think I forgot everything I had learned about football when I was pretending to be straight 😵💫
😂
