@foundring1 You might be able to sue whoever fired you too if it actually WAS from one complaint by a woman from Michigan.

There's a woman in Michigan who has been stalking and harassing me for over 5 years. She has been threatening my employers, getting me fired, and now she is harassing my family members too. I have her phone number now. 5 years ago in 2021 she contacted the church where I worked and told them she would go to the authorities and news agencies because they were employing someone who was writing "anti-vax" songs criticizing covid lockdowns and mandates. The church brought me into a struggle session and demanded I take down the videos. I declined and they fired me one week later for being unvaccinated. After 3 years of lockdowns I got a new job working at UC Santa Cruz...then I was abruptly let go because she contacted them and complained about my songs, again. Then I got a new job as musical director for a local theater company. After doing an incredible job for a year, she contacted them AGAIN and the board fired me. They admitted that my work had been exceptional, but they caved because of the single complaint. They also admitted the person complaining was from Michigan. A few months ago she contacted a new theater I've been working at recently. They reached out to me and admitted the complainer was from out of state, and that everyone locally loved my work. I haven't been rehired since. This week this woman has been spamming my family members with messages complaining about me and telling them to cut ties with me. She also told them she is pro-actively contacting all local venues in my area to tell them not to hire me. So. This has GOT to be illegal right? I should contact a lawyer right? I need a restraining order or something because this is actually insane.

@ChristineI220 @masek_jackie @foundring1 I think she ought to be identified. Maybe after he hires a lawyer and gets verification that it was just this one person from Michigan

@masek_jackie @foundring1 WHO is going to sue him for defamation? WHO? You can’t answer with a name because that person was never identified. Duh.

@CoreyWriting I think the days of identity politics is coming to an end. It doesn't work, people really aren't that simple.

Why are we pretending black people are a political monoculture? MANY black people do not like illegal immigrants. My own family members voted for Trump solely to deport immigrants and build the border wall.

@marceelias I thought Florida figured it out

In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day. Today, the RNC argued no state can. That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.

@educator4ever36 does the teacher have a purple shadow I wonder?

I worked in this district for nine years. Thoughts on this ruling? Just know before this book was read, she had previously been warned about using what Georgia calls “divisive content”.

@HilllbillyHugs @drowsyfire @WomensRightsNet @PureGym Don't have to try again, nature is pretty clear

@drowsyfire @WomensRightsNet @PureGym Except when its any of tbe dozen other combinations lol And we dont use genotypic sex to assign sex at birth we use phenotypic sex. So try again.

Top marks to @PureGym for a very clear, concise, changing rooms policy. “We provide a range of changing facilities for our users. We provide in all gyms: 1. a. separate-sex communal changing rooms (based on biological sex); and b. an individual use, accessible, gender-neutral changing room. 2. The separate-sex communal changing rooms are designated for use by individuals according to their biological sex.” And that’s it. Something for everyone. Well done Pure Gym for not making it any more complicated than it needed to be.

@HilllbillyHugs @WomensRightsNet @PureGym There is, some people just like to pretend it's been updated to be more "inclusive" but it hasn't. Gender isn't Sex and Sex isn't Gender

@WomensRightsNet @PureGym Problem is theirs not a single definition of biological sex.

@mynnoj MBA's are getting dumber every year, so are Microsoft employees

super funny that microsoft had a strong brand like 'office' and some mbas decided that 'microsoft 365' and 'copilot' should replace it

@Coffeine10 @sometherapist Tuition is free

@sometherapist Do you have to pay for it? Why not just go volunteer with the Mennonites?

There's a college in rural southern California where students can go through a two year digital detox, work on a ranch doing lots of physical labor, study in small groups with peers, deepen their attention spans, and earn a transfer degree for free. thetimes.com/us/news-today/…

@runaway_vol It hurts some people but is a very necessary part of life

why is gentrification considered “bad”, it makes areas much nicer with better shops and friendlier people

@BoulPizz I have an internal monologue that won't shut up. There is practically a second life happening entirely in my head that's sometimes more active that my real one.

Nearly 50% of ppl do NOT have internal monologue. Once I found this out, everything made more sense. Ppl aren’t even THINKING

@notforyou74656 There were too few eyes on this show, end of story

This. For a franchise based on “to boldly go where no one has gone before” a lot of Trekkies seem to hate the future & new life & new civilizations, preferring only more of the past & what we’ve already seen. I’ll never understand it.

@ArtistCyclist "just build a new culture and infrastructure"...yeah I'll get right on that

Car-centric design is simply a man-made construct. We can just as easily build a new culture and infrastructure centred around people, healthly living and the environment. Everywhere I've visited that has implemented and embraced these changes has been a wonderful place to be.

@fandompulse Yes. Maybe you can get new fans for the man with a pet bat, but if nobody is clamoring for that show then probably not

Neil Gaiman on why fans abandon popular franchises: "The fan base are fans. And they like the source material because it's the source material they like. So if you do something else, you risk alienating the fans on a monumental scale. It's not Batman if he's now a news reporter in a yellow trenchcoat with a pet bat." Do you agree with him?

@WilliamShatner Let it go This new show had no audience

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

@WomenAreReals @KDansky @WDI_USA @WomensLibFront @SashaAguilar69 @aVeryGoodTyrone @AmandaKovattana @MBellBrown @SophiaSLorey @ErinFriday75490 @marli_ca Sex and gender are different. I was beat over the head with that at one time.

Just when you think CA couldn’t go further… Asm. Pacheco has authored AB 2563 which redefines “sex discrimination” across 29 state codes. It would become an act of discrimination to deny a 12 year-old a mastectomy or a male rapist access to women’s prison 1st Hearing: April 7

@EytanWallace Just in time to memorialize all our farmers

JUST NOW: California State Assembly votes in favor 68-0 of AB 2156 to rename “Cesar Chavez Day” to “Farmworkers Day.”

@djairrick Nah. There wasn't an audience for this show. I think there are still people in the industry who know what people want to see, we'll just have to wait for some of them to come up with a new iteration. I won't mind a loooong break though, time to get the stink off and what not.

So what I think this signals, if they dont pick anything up in the next few months it that Star Trek cannot move past its nostalgia audience. That means once they are gone, so is Star Trek as culturally relevant. Congrats internet fools, you did this!

@Civixplorer Beautiful. How long did it take?

@sandibachom You don't know who they are blaming, you're posting for engagement

🔥🔥🔥I’m at JFK and I was on the train leaving a whole bunch of TSA officers and they were bitching about having these ICE guys standing around doing nothing while they’re working their asses off and not getting paid! They are really really really mad and they’re not blaming the Democrats
