Jul. 23rd, 2020 05:30 pmI did some research for Julian - he was fired, and suspected both the firing and another job's refusal to rehire him were orientation based. Discrimination is hard to prove, and in my very limited experience, folks who've been fired tend to ruin it by talking too much. Even if it doesn't work out for him, it should cause enough trouble with the companies to be worth while. If he's successful, I started researching pro bono firms to help him, but I don't wanna get ahead of myself.
In the evening, Colleen commented on the song Hugo recommended, and I'm going to send the Amelie soundtrack to both her and Megan. I also started listening to the Amelie: The Musical soundtrack, though I didn't care for it as much.
I also saw a post of my mom's. A meme suggesting the Watts riots were brilliantly and immediately solved by law enforcement just opening fire on everyone. As much as I'm trying not to fight her, that's both incorrect and horrible. I'm honestly (kind of) shocked at the rabid support for martial law I'm seeing from so many on the Right. Only kind of, because as long as the victims are their Out Groups, they'd probably be an easy sell for genocide. My mom's response was that history is a lie. I backed off after that.
