american copyright law is wild. I'm not a huge fan of the copyright act and think the anti-circumvention rules in particular are draconian & nonsensical but canada does iirc explicitly allow for non commercial user generated content and also fair dealing is not a mere defence so like. despite the horrors we persist i guess.

One of my biggest cases settled for a decent amount. Which, I mean...it's good for my client and for me because it's one less thing I have to worry about. But at the same time, I'm disappointed because this case had the potential to change legal precedent over a pretty important, recurring issue in employment law in my state and I was excited about that possibility :/

Fun fact! This is the first gif that comes up when you search for HIPAA!

The gif is not wrong.

In other news, I spent a significant part of my day reading HIPAA stuff.

I think I have figured out what's bothering me so much about the latest round of "friendship isn't transactional, friends do [x] for each other!" discourse.*

*Besides the fact that a lot of it resolves around helping friends move and I am currently moving and cranky as hell about it.

They bother me because despite what they say, these posts/tweets/etc are still framing friendship as transactional.

They are framing friendship as something governed by rules, by objective standards of behavior. E.g., friends either help each other move or they don't help each other move because they are adults and shouldn't ask that of their friends. And then the "nuance" that gets added is just a bunch of subrules and addendums - oh well of course it's ok not to help your friends move if you are currently unable to or it will cause you real hardship; or [X] task counts as help moving but [Y] task doesn't.

But you can't (or well I guess you can, but I don't think it's reasonable or healthy in the long wrong) codify and standardize relationships like that. People have preferences and differences and histories and rich inner lives, and they want (and receive) different things out of their relationships. Someone tweeting "always hire movers rather than ask your friends" is guilty of nothing more than, at worst, generalizing their own (perfectly fine) preferences.

Like, one of the posts I'm thinking of contrasts "making small sacrifices for your friends" and "endless prioritization of our own comfort" - and that's just such a particularly narrow view of relationships.

To use my own moving as an example: I don't have friends help me move because I don't want them around me when I'm stressed in the particular way moving makes me, because 1) that stresses me out more and 2) I'm a really unpleasant person to be around when I'm under that particular stress and even if I had friends who were willing to put up with it, I would not ask or want them to. So am "prioritizing my own comfort" by denying my friends the opportunity to help and, in turn, being unavailable to them? Am I "making small sacrifices" by doing it alone and telling white lies (I *really* hate lying) to some friends who try to insist, so I don't hurt their feelings? Are the friends who don't offer or who immediately accept my refusal "prioritizing their own comfort" - or are they making sacrifices by accepting my increasingly unavailability as my moving date comes closer? Oh god, quick, someone consult Chapter 9 subparagraph II.b.iv of the friendship manual!!!

Some relationships will involve a lot of sacrifice, by one person or both people or a lot of people. Some relationships will involve things that could maybe be classified as sacrifices, but the person doing those things doesn't conceptualize them that way. Some relationships will have involve everyone involved "prioritizing their own comfort" and it works out for everyone involved.

I can understand, to some degree, the place where these posts and discourse is coming from. Because a lot of them seem to be trying to push back on the idea that discomfort and sacrifice and strife and imbalance and bouts of annoyance or unhappiness in relationships is necessarily unhealthy or abusive.

But it's not a solution to replace one bad framing with another. When you start to think of friendships in terms of lists of things that you do (or are supposed to do) for each other, you are putting an idealization of what a friendship is "supposed" to look like ahead of the actual relationship, the actual people, as they exist.

Nobody has donated to Tennessee's anti-abortion monument Tennessee passed a law in 2018 to create a monument for “victims of abortion.” Five years later, the monument has yet to materialize, and the private fund for the so-called “Monument to Unborn Children” has yet to receive a single dollar, according to state sources.Read more... https://qz.com/tennessee-anti-abortion-monument-fund-donations-1850277300

I was actively searching for Nonnus' Dionysus criticism and this is so perfect. Nicaea's story in general is heart-rending, but the fact that she 1) has to give birth to her assailant's child and 2) take care of the child of the OTHER woman he attacked in the same manner is just... agony.

It's especially disturbing because this isn't an example of historical lit trivialising the effects of SA. Nonnus describes, in harrowing detail, how much the two women suffered afterwards. But despite their pain being acknowledged, their attacker feels no remorse, and they continue to be the ones most criticised by the other characters.

Thousands of years have passed and it honestly seems like little has changed.

i both love and hate nonnus. i dont know why he counts as a "classical source" when he's closer to medieval greece than he is to classical greece. hes from the 5th century common era. not before common era. hes literally from imperial rome... scholars love him and hate him. some people like him and some dont. most people do not. did you know that nonnus is the only source (that i could find) in which dionysus sexually assaults someone? yeah 💀 all him!

Reading a vampire book rn that is like mixed media, where there are like firsthand accounts, newspaper articles, senate hearing transcripts, interrogation reports, etc., etc.

I long to do mixed media fanwork like this. Trace the Batfam progression using newspaper articles (maybe sometimes one from Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent), testimony from court cases, outsider POVs, caselaw based on convictions made with vigilante help.

It's such a fun method of storytelling.

International Human Rights Law, International Humanitarian Law, and International Criminal Law are a series of treaties between nations, collections of caselaw from international courts and other bodies, international norms, and other sources of law that apply to the actions of states, armed groups, and others during armed conflict and outside of it.

When discussing the actions of states during armed conflict, war crimes, targeting of civilians (a war crime and possibly a crime against humanity or an act of genocide depending on circumstances), genocide, and crimes against humanity, it is helpful to have clear definitions of these acts.

Here are some resources:

International Red Cross/Red Crescent

International Criminal Court

UN Human Rights Council

OHCHR Library

When advocating for a ceasefire in Israel/Gaza, it is helpful to have an idea of the international framework (and the laws and norms being violated). Additionally, focusing on the acts of various nation states and armed groups makes it easier (in my opinion) to avoid antisemitism and anti-Palestinian racism.

Of course the worldwide Jewish community is not responsible for the actions of the Israeli government. Israel is a nation state and is responsible for its own actions during war. Of course civilians in Israel (many of whom are protesting and supporting a ceasefire) cannot be punished for the acts of their government. Of course the people of Gaza (and the non-Hamas-controled West Bank) are not responsible for and cannot be punished for the actions of Hamas.
