At face value, this is a ridiculous headline. But the article then says his managers berated and insulted him for leaving the party after an anxiety attack, and the company then fired him for taking days off work for “unsafe work practices,” due to having anxiety?

[ivan-fyodorovich-k]

Seems like pretty often headlines that paint a lawsuit as frivolous and ridiculous seem a little more rational after some digging

There’s so much more to it as well. He repeatedly asked the company not to throw a party for him due to his anxiety (apparently this is standard practise for their office and he knew it would be triggering for him) and they “forgot” about his request. On the day in question, he predictably had a panic attack and went to his car to do breathing exercises.

The next day he was called into a meeting where he was insulted and grilled about “ruining the party” and “stealing his co-workers’ joy”, which caused him to have another panic attack and start doing coping behaviours like hugging himself, at which point his employers decided he must be angry and was going to turn violent. They then suspended him for days and later told him he’d been fired.

So yeah, it’s not over an “unwanted birthday party”, it’s over employers repeatedly failing to accommodate someone’s disability, trying to frame them as the villain for having accessibility needs, and firing them for not conforming to some stupid office politics.

I am completely pro-lawsuit. Lawsuits are often the only tool that otherwise powerless individuals have to demand some accountability from large corporations and institutions, and historically lawsuits have been a very important tool for civil rights, women’s rights, LGBT+ rights, and disability rights. But this is exactly why the media is always depicting lawsuits as something frivolous and silly that only uptight spoiled crybabies who want easy money do, and people just eat up that propaganda without doing any research or critical thinking.

Never forget that McDonald’s coffee gave that lady 3rd degree burns and she just wanted money to cover her medical bills.

It was not even just a failure to support his disability. The company gave out his private information (birthday) to his coworkers against his explicit request.

I find it so amusing when they say stuff like "Person ended Thing!" Ummm, no, Susan. The thing still exists. Just because you boot-lick for Person doesn't mean they had the slightest effect on the rest of us. It would be like saying my sitting at home and crocheting a cardigan just ended the NFL. 😂

I'm sorry, the charlie kirk situation just keeps getting funnier.

- gun nut insists 6 year olds getting shot in elementary school are a necessary sacrifice so that we can all have the 2nd amendment *gets shot at a school

- gun nut literally advocated for public executions to make kids stronger *gets shot in public in front of a bunch of students

- gun nut was an open racist, who constantly tried to incite race wars *got shot by a white guy in the whitest state in america

- gun nut insists empathy is fake *no empathy for him online, except from the same people who gleefully mock the deaths of trans people and Democrat politicians and anyone they don't like on a daily basis

- GUN. NUT. *gets shot and killed instantly by a gun.

[liberalsarecool]

You reap what you sow. You live gun culture, you die gun culture. That was his 'faith'.

[queenshnoogleberry]

Gun nut says the 2nd Ammendment allows people to defend their rights, meaning using bullets and violence, tries to take away the rights of Queer people and women, gets 2nd Ammendment-ed.

poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website

[septicake]

yea that'd be a shame

by the way, just so everyone knows what not to do, shift+r reblogs a post instantly

just make sure you don't reblog anything about oceangate because that would completely undermine their entire plan 😇😇😇

You also shouldn't queue a post, that would make people keep remembering this post for a longer time, which is the opposite of forgetting

genres i'm tired of:

"feminist retellings" of stories that can already be considered feminist in their own right

"feminist retellings" that fumble the "feminist" plotline so bad it just turns misogynistic

"feminist retellings" that still center around and hinge on men

"feminist retellings" written by people who don't understand what feminism is

[sarahlizziewrites]

McFeminism, when some corporate overlord decides to brand something as "feminist" or "girl power" in order to cash in on a human rights movement, but refuses to research and understand it.

Thinking about how wild it is that enshittification starts as a way for the rich to squeeze the populace for more money but ends up infecting everything so even luxury products decline in quality. They’ve got more money than fucking God now and for what? Literally they can’t even buy fun nice stuff for themselves because they killed craft.

Anyway this post is about Dhaka muslin but it’s also about everything.

The ancient fabric that no one knows how to make

Nearly 200 years ago, Dhaka muslin was the most valuable fabric on the planet. Then it was lost altogether. How did this happen? And can we

[eldritchwyrm]

guess it's time to post agha shahid ali's poem about dhaka muslin

[the-final-sif]

Fun fact! Revival of Dhaka Muslin has been ongoing for quite some time. The headline of the above article is very very misleading, we know exactly how Dhaka Muslin was made. The process was very well documented. We know how it was made, but colonialism ruined the fabric's production area and devalued the skills needed to make it such that they no longer existed. But the process itself was not lost.

That being said, efforts to bring it back are underway, and they have been making amazing progress, and succeed in creating Dhaka Muslin yet again.

The Muslin Miracle: A passion for revival

It all began with a search for ‘phuti karpas’ – muslin’s unique cotton plant which is known to have become extinct. However, starting in 201

This is a pretty good updated article, it has a lot of the same info as the BCC one (which also discusses some of the revival efforts) but with more of a focus on that process, an update to the story, and it details some of the other ongoing projects working on the revival!

Here's the first weaver to manage to produce a finished piece in nearly 200 years, Al Amin.

His first piece was 300 threads, according to the article they have now been able to get into the 700s for thread counts, which is absolutely incredible.

Several projects are actually underway now each with different weavers and slightly different methods, producing fabric intended to meet or best the original!

And if you're curious, "okay but can it pass through a ring" yes! Yes they can!

All three of these photos are of pieces made in the modern century, photos by Wasiul Bahar!

It's a very time consuming process, and a very expensive fabric to purchase, but love and passion for it have been steadily bringing it back!

More pictures of my friend's rescue puppy, who has been given the middle name of Colleen after Colin Robinson. NorthernKingOfFrogs called her "haunted" and... yeeeeeaaahhhhhh.... yeeeahhhh...

(The last photo is Blue with the neighbor doggo, who is the same age. They play fence race for hours at a time and he tries to pass her toys through the fence.)

The sunrise has made everything pink the past couple of days

The sunrise in Athabasca, Alberta Canada. Everything is tinged with pink hues, and the sky is bright pink and orange. The spruce trees in the distance stand dark against the sky.

It has been fun to watch

[queenshnoogleberry]

Its a beautiful place and one I have deep ties to as well. I was born and raised along the Athabasca River and I grew up fearing, respecting and loving it.
