the veronicas were right. i do feel so untouched
thinking about the bed, 1892 by henri de toulouse-lautrec featured on the wikipedia page for āblanketā
Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;
Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparableā harm to their brand.
To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.
So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.
I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.
They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.
In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.
Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'
I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!
This is being discussed heavily on Bluesky, such as here.
Patagonia is suing specifically for trademark infringement, and they're suing for the sum of $1. If they don't sue, then that means they could lose the trademark. They aren't trying to "silence" them or prevent them from using the name, they're specifically protecting their company trademark. They'd have to sue *anyone* who was using such an obvious knockoff of their logo; in this case it happens to be a drag queen.
you'll have to forgive me for not weeping for a billion dollar company's trademark being violated
Go nuts. The point is that this isn't a company trying to dogpile on a drag queen, it's a company following a standard legal practice to protect its trademark. Disney does it all the time.
... yes, and I also hate Disney? I don't understand what you think you're selling me on here
If you get a soda out of a vending machine and it has a Coca-Cola label but it's actually a knockoff made with ditchwater, that's obviously okay because Coca-Cola is a huge corporation and it's thus fine for someone to violate their trademark.
You can hate Patagonia all you want, but the lawsuit is about anodyne trademark law, not specifically that a drag queen is involved.
and what part of Miss Gonia's schtick is doing the harm equivalent of tricking someone into drinking ditchwater exactly?
...the trademark part.
right, okay, I forgot that she's singlehandedly putting Patagonia out of business by using a silly joke name
if Patagonia loses their trademark, which they would if they didn't sue and win (again for one dollar), there would be no assurance against people putting a Patagonia label on amy dogshit
well I hope Amy Dogshit enjoys wearing the label I think she'll look very nice
Oh my fucking god yāall bootlickers are driving me crazy.
Iām a law student specializing in Intellectual Property, which includes Copyright and Trademark. Iāve studied these subjects and the law is clear that everything yāall said about Patagonia ālosing the trademarkā if they donāt sue Ms. Pattie is absolute bullshit.
Trademarks are only lost if they are abandoned by the user or if the product made by the company becomes so ubiquitous, everyday, and common that people start calling all types of that product by the trademark name. This is called genericide, because the trademark has become so generic, it is no longer an indicator of one singular source. Think Band-Aid or Thermos; we use those terms to refer to the generic products theyāre associated with. We call pretty much all sticky bandages Band-Aids and all containers used to keep things warm in Thermoses.
What Patagonia is doing is actually closer to suing for trademark infringement based on tarnishment, which means the infringer is using the trademark name in a way that makes the company look bad or associates the company with things like drugs or pornography. Queen Pattie Gonia is someone who raises awareness for climate and environmental activism. Nothing about Miss Goniaās use of the name tarnishes Patagoniaās brand.
The only possible argument the company has is that Miss Goniaās queer identity could be seen as not āadult-friendlyā but that very quickly slides into homophobic and moralistic territory that will absolutely be shot down by the court based on First Amendment rights. People are allowed to use ānot safe for work names,ā based on caselaw that states that ālabels that are disparaging or morally offensiveā are a violation of free speech because itās peopleās choice to say and use those names. For example, an all-Asian band applied for the trademark name āThe Chinksā because they were taking the racially disparaging name and reclaiming it. The Trademark Office attempted to refuse to grant the bandās trademark, and when the band sued, the Supreme Court sided with the band.
That got off on a little bit of a tangent, but the long and short of it is this: Patagonia has absolutely no basis for a trademark name. Any IP lawyer would say the same. The reason Patagonia is getting away with a frivolous suit like this is because they know their target is a member of a vulnerable minority. Miss Gonia is 100% correct that they are trying to bully her because they know she doesnāt have the money to withstand a years-long expensive lawsuit.
Itās because of idiotic bootlickers who kiss companiesā asses like this that big corporations can get away with hurting independent creators. Patagonia does not have any chance at winning, but they know that just by filing and announcing their lawsuit against Miss Gonia, they are putting pressure on her to give up. If this lawsuit goes on, even if it doesnāt make it to court and just goes to a judge for a quick summary judgment, Miss Gonia would still have to pay for a lawyer to defend her and lawyers cost more money than the average person has. Miss Gonia would win, but because Patagonia set the damages for $1, even if she did win, sheād still end up in debt because in America, the typical rule is that each party pays for the cost of their own attorneyās fees. The only time the opposing side would pay your lawyerās fees is if you have a contract with them that says so, and thatās usually only used in contracts between businesses or high profile individuals.
What Patagonia is doing is capitalizing on societyās hatred for queer people and anyone resembling a trans woman. Miss Gonia is a drag queen, not trans as far as Iām aware (though please do correct me if Iām wrong) but itās not like a big company cares to differentiate; theyāre just mad that a queer person is using their name in a way they donāt like. Patagonia knows that this particular population has been facing harsh discrimination in society currently. By siding with them, people are actively harming the queer community. Donāt pretend to hide behind trademark law to cover up your prejudices.

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
correction: trans people fighting each other is very helpful to transphobes
I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.
I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.

The ancient shepherds I'm referencing also ate lamb lol

High key what House of Leaves is meta about
I know not what House of Leaves is but I wholeheartedly trust your comparison and I shall take it as fact!
House of Leaves is a book about a man trying to explore the inside of his new home, which proves substantially more difficult than should be possible, due to its non-Euclidean dimensions.
Except that House of Leaves is actually about a documentary about a man trying to explore the inside of his new home, which proves impossible to document properly, due to its non-Euclidean dimensions.
Except that House of Leaves is actually about an academic paper, which itself is about an alleged documentary about an alleged non-Euclidean home, but none of this can be verified.
Except that House of Leaves is just, like, this fucking stack of papers I found in this old dead guyās apartment, and, like, I donāt even know if its his or what because like both his eyes were gone and he didnāt have any degrees or anything. I tried asking my friend from the tattoo shop about it but she was fixing up this thumper tattoo right above a girlās pussy the whole time we were talking; like Thumper from Bambi, and Iām not gonna lie man I was pretty distracted and I just couldnāt [XXXXS XXXX XXXX.

Today we visited the two Lascaux replicas, words canāt do them justice! š„¹š Both were amazing in their own way: the older one felt intimate and sits right by the original cave, while the newer one is stunningly precise thanks to modern scanning. The photos are from the smaller exhibits afterwards.
Afterwards we also visited the National Museum of Prehistory. We've been wanting to see that bison carving š„¹ the artistry is just incredible..
