Welcome to my blog.

I won't post often. Here's my strawpage.

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?

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.

REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA AND THAT SENSATIONALIZED JOURNALISM FALLS UNDER THAT

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

hot take i think that a website being able to ban users for "no reason at all" is a very bad thing, all websites should be able to prove that a user has broken their guidelines or terms of service in order to ban them

infectiouspiss

users who get banned should be told WHY they're banned and given an opportunity to talk to a person when appealing their ban, automated "nah ur still banned" replies shouldn't be allowed on any website.

a user broke a guideline? which ones? and which post/reply/message/ask broke them?

a post is mass reported? sure thing a temporary auto ban is fine BUT ONLY IF A HUMAN REVIEWER THEN LOOKS AT IT.

a post is reported, flagged, appealed, and has the flag removed? that post should no longer be able to have that flag re-applied. because a human looked at it and decided it was fine.

a user submits multiple reports that all turn out to be false? ban that user for abusing the reporting system.

all of this seems so simple but it's just ?? not happening

its to let them have the ability to make biased and bigoted decisions without accountability, if an account is reinstated from backlash it can be seen as 'well a human finally took a look at it' or 'was just an error'. Having to state publicly their reason would codify their internal politics, and a reinstating would show they were too cowardly to stand by them.

They now get to do whatever they want and never have to take the blame since you can't 'prove it'. The automation and silence is a feature.

please, write to staff and complain about the continual ban of trans women, especially if you're not a trans woman yourself. i'm under no illusion the equivalent of a strongly worded letter will stop them but they should at least know we're all seeing this and taking note

tboy-trash

they think nobody cares outside of the relatively small group of trans women, and the even smaller group of outspoken transfeminist trans women, the ones primarily targeted, in part because enabling rampant transmisogyny for so long on this site has made it so it's not completely untrue. we should try and make it different. if you care in the slightest about the women being terminated -many of whom rely on this site for income- please say something about it

tboy-trash

keep doing it even if some of the girls are back btw. 1-not all of them are and 2-this is a repeated pattern. they can do this anytime and they will keep doing it for as long as the rest of us allow it.

Thinking about how cat lady called herself "ball arena" and now I'm wondering if anyone has drawn her balling on the court
