She ignores reason because this is her preferred outcome, and she will fight for it against her own rational mind. Liff isn’t dead. She got there in time. Somehow it’s going to be okay. - Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory

To me this is the difference between the triumvirates
Story is wild
Little girl was part of a county fair agro-educational program where they raise an animal for a few months and at the end it’s slaughtered. Supposed to teach them about the economics of farming and stuff.
But the little girl loved her goat so much she was crying on the day her goat was supposed to be taken away, so her mom sent the county fair people an email saying “I’ll pay for the goat and any expenses. We’ve had several deaths in the family in the past year, I don’t wanna take away one more thing my little girl loves.” Technically the goat had already been sold at auction, so the mom was on the hook for about $1000, only about $70 of which would have been profit for the county fair.
The county fair people were irate and got law enforcement involved, over this “breach of contract”. They literally got a fucking judge to sign a search warrant, authorizing them to go to this little girl’s house and search every room and every cabinet or box “large enough to contain a small goat”. The sheriff’s deputies seized the goat, and whoever they gave it to immediately slaughtered it, though they were supposed to wait until some kind of agreement had been worked out.
In the county fair’s initial email correspondence with the girl’s mother, they made it clear that they were pissed off because the story of the little girl who loved her goat was circulating on social media making them look bad, and they felt the girl needed to be taught a lesson about keeping your promises or whatever. So they refused the mother’s offer to pay for it, and insisted they get the goat. Even if it meant sending the fucking cops into her house lmao.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-30/goat-slaughter-shasta-county-fair
the congressman who bought the goat didn’t have any objections to the family saving the goat from slaughter either! it’s fucking insane that the cops were so eager to play act their swat commando fantasies that they played stooge to the benefit of no one except some self important local organizers!
Alternate link, LAtimes locks their stuff behind paywalls sometimes
Don’t forget the part where the goat wasn’t where they had a warrant to search, so they drove 500 miles, leaving the area they have legal jurisdiction in, then searched a farm they didn’t have a warrant for ans seized the goat. The fair then had the goat slaughtered, even though a court had ordered them to keep it alive until ownership was resolved and despite the fact that both potential owners of the goat had decided to keep it alive.
They broke multiple laws in order to “teach” a little girl the “lesson” that “everybody has to follow the rules”.
I sure hope all of the complaints sent to Shasta District Fair CEO Melanie Silva, whose decisions these were and continues to defend her actions, are polite and don’t waste too much ink. I’m certain nobody would take advantage of the fact that the Sasha District Fair and Event Center’s contact page lists their phone and fax numbers, not to mention the email form below that.
Would be a shame if that information was to circulate far an wide, and ruin that despicable woman's easter holidays
I found the lawsuit filing. It is a work of art, brief and to the point. If you read nothing else, check out page 2, the section headed Nature of the Action. Magnificent.
One of the things that bugs me in the notes is a bunch of people being like 'it's a livestock animal, it's her fault for getting attached' and.
My dudes, I cannot emphasize enough that the little girl's emotional attachment to the goat is in fact the least of the issues with this story. The main issue in this story is the fact that a bunch of cops broke multiple laws, including the unlawful entry to the property the goat was being held, the unlawful seizure and destruction of said goat, and the unlawful use of a criminal search warrant in a civil dispute case, just to start with.
The little girl owned the goat. At no point in the proceedings - and indeed at no point in the proceedings in the course of the normal auction-purchase-slaughter of a livestock animal in this program - did the fair own the goat. At no point in the proceedings did the person who successfully bid on the goat actually own it - he had made the winning bid to purchase rights to the meat. He hadn't even done that yet! The goat legally and incontrovertibly belonged to the little girl. The very worst that should have happened in this story is a brief property ownership dispute in a civil court.
The fair CEO decided to unlawfully force the auction of the goat, and, when the girl's mother began to dispute her actions, to make a false claim of theft, with precisely ZERO legal basis, calling the cops on an already emotionally fragile child, and then had the temerity to be angry with the child's mother because the story was making them look bad on social media.
Regardless of your opinion on the meat industry, livestock slaughter, or 4H, 'cops drive 500 miles, perform an illegal search, seizure and destruction of an American citizen's property, on the word of a biased 3rd party with zero legal rights to the property in question' should make you angry. Because it is a violation of civil rights, and also had no motive besides needless cruelty to an already grieving child.
News to know: The next court update on this is sometime in October 2024. I'm watching this case because it covers a lot of different facets of how contracts work, minors rights, property rights in the face of law enforcement seizures and searches, and how does one county fair have so much brutality to wield against a then-nine-year-old. I would not be surprised if this gets bogged down again with more counter-suits. It's absolutely ghoulish that they're doing all this over less than 1000$ of goat and one little girls grief. I hope that the judge who sees this case knows just how dangerous it is to dismiss, since this is a matter of third-party property rights infringement using law enforcement agents as bludgeons. The Sheriffs *cannot* be allowed to maintain extrajudicial authority.
UPDATE:
GIRL WINS $300,000
Shasta County agreed to pay $300,000 to settle a lawsuit over a decision to use deputies to seize a girl's pet goat to be slaughtered. It's
A HAPPY ENDING
Ifyou read the legal filing, the county fair that initiated this whole thing was only entitled to $63 worth of the goats' sale price.
They paid over 4700x the money they would have made if the sale had gone through.
EDIT: I'm wrong. The COUNTY paid $300,000 for their overexuberant sheriffs.
The family still has a case out against the fair, who STILL HASNT TOLD THE COURT WHO CALLED THE SHERIFF.
There was a summary judgment in favor of the fair, which they are appealing.
Based on the timeline the family's attorneys put together in defense of a subpoena for his phone records, the person who actually called the cops was almost certainly Michael Flores, the Deputy Secretary for the California Dept of Agriculture. I base this on the fact that police involvement started after a call between Ms. Silva, the head of the fair, and Mr. Flores, and the fact that there's no entry in the timeline for a call to the police despite them having Ms. Silva's records at that time.
Either way, they know, as they have Mr. Flores's records now.
So yeah, people at every conceivable level conspired to fuck this girl up for daring to want to keep her goat as a pet.
The Creature calling itself Viktor and following Viktor around is so much more tragic when you know how babies develop and how newborns don't yet realise they and their mothers are two separate people. And one of the first things babies realise about themselves is that they're a whole separate person. And one of the first things they do when they start developing as a person is find out they have hands and play with them and with textures and start exploring. And when they want to start talking, they put their hands and fingers on their parents lips and throats to figure out how that sound is coming out of there and then they start imitating. Guillermo Del Toro nailed every single step of human development in such a beautiful celebration of life.
And Viktor abused the crap out of the poor creature for not being smart enough when it was only following natural developmental milestones. Because, like most men, like his own father, he wanted to create life but he wasn't interested in raising it beyond that and instead wanted it to be born a doctor ready to show the world how smart Viktor is for creating a carbon copy of his brain except in a stronger immortal body. Elizabeth gave him five minutes of love and let him explore how sounds come out of her mouth and he started talking.
Idk why some people are complaining about the movie being different from the book when the essence is literally the same, Viktor created life as if it were a godly feat and not something women have been doing since the dawn of humanity, and then he abandoned that life as deadbeat dads do. And that abandonment is what created a monster out of an innocent souls who could have become a beautiful being had it been nurtured. That's literally what Mary Shelley wrote. She would have been proud of this story. On top of being an incredibly gorgeous visual story, the narrative is very loyal to the point Shelley wanted to make.

Listen, I don't even know a bunch of ya'll, but that doesn't mean that I want you're info stolen.
Stay safe.
Meta is also about to start feeding info into their ai (starting in December). I wish I had the exact path to opt out, but it’s through settings on Facebook/ig
seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors
I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me
Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.
Left this in the notes
love when fictional men are so devoted to their partner it makes them dangerous and insane. very slutty behavior keep it up king
Truly nothing brings me more joy than seeing Bucky Barnes look so unbelievably over it.
One of the most annoying parts about starting to actually stand up for yourself, set firmer boundaries and dare to be a bitch sometimes is that everyone who was so used to you being a good little doormat gets really confused and even worried about it. Like you put your foot down and suddenly everyone is like "Are you okay, did something happen? Why are you being so hostile all of a sudden??" and it's like. No bitch. I'm not being hostile, I'm just not immediately bending the knee every time we talk now.
This is especially annoying as a fem-presenting person because people, particularly men, will legitimately get violent with you and then claim that they were completely justified for that because you were "mean to them". And other men will back that up.
Women aren't allowed to stand up for themselves without it being perceived as inherently hostile, and therefore deserving of punishment.
Ok, so in the original Bram Stoker novel, sunlight is not lethal to Dracula. He just loses most of his powers. I'm bringing this up cuz I want a horror comedy where the hero, sensing dawn, tears off the curtains as a last-ditch effort only to have the vampire go "Aw shit, there goes most of my fancy powers. Guess I'll have to beat your ass the old-fashioned way" then proceeds to just deck the hero cuz a vampire at half-strength is still a fucking vampire.
FINALLY watched “a knight’s tale.” pretty fun but literally what the hell was jocelyn wearing for the entirety of the movie
????????
EXCEPT
THE 16TH CENTURY WHITE HAAAAAT
She was just fashion-forward, you guys
@threadbareturnbacks WAIT this is so cool!!!
Knight's Tale didn't try to match the aesthetic, it tried to match the VIBES, and it hit in so many ways.
I really appreciated that it started with the crowd singing We Will Rock You because that's an incredible way to set audience expectations.
A Knight's Tale belongs to what my wife and I call the Ren Faire Genre - not historically accurate, but historically VIBING with some strangely historically accurate notes thrown in (Chaucer!?).
A Knight's tale is culturally translated so that the audience gets what's going on better. the tournaments are a major sporting event, the knights are admired like rock stars, the ladies are beautiful and fashionable. if you actually dressed a lady in a way that was beautiful and fashionable in the past a modern viewer would be like "what the fuck is with her". most historical-setting movies pretend that they are not culturally translating, even though all of them are all the time inherently because they're being made by a person of our current culture...
My favorite thing about "A Knight's Tale" is that the director's explanation for why it's all Like That was basically "no matter what century you're in, the '70s are always the '70s" lol
you're all wrong, she's got that shit on, she looks great
The most relatable moment from spongebob for me is when he went over to Sandy’s house for the first time and was too polite and socially nervous to tell her he was slowly dying
