So to be pedantic (because that matters with legal cases) she is not suing him for human trafficking. She is suing him for intensely abusive employment conditions, including underpayment, overwork, harassment during attempts to take breaks or leave the city, psychological torment, and housing conditions which conspired to keep her from leaving, which can very reasonably be said to constitute a degree of human trafficking. But the suit is not specifically pressing trafficking charges.
That said the degree of racist and sexual harassment alleged (from his mom) is horrifying and deserves specific attention.
Actually, I think this is worth emphasizing. While human trafficking charges are not being filed, the allegations absolutely represent a pattern of human trafficking control. Sleep and food deprivation, constant surveillance, economic deprivation, housing control, continuous harassment, all of these are behaviors desgined to keep someone burned out and with no time to make moves to get themself out.
Someone living in a city they’re unfamiliar with, with San Francisco’s housing market, no time to establish connections with locals, withheld wages and illegal lies about what wages would be coming, who is constantly sleep deprived and hungry, and harassed constantly by their captor who reacts with extreme measures to moves which might let them leave (like taking a trip out of the city), is how not in a position to leave their job. Pedantry is important in legal matters, but we can recognize when something is absolutely being described in allegations and not on a list of charges only for practical reasons of ease of prosecution.

like i’m sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it’s something we “want to see” like destiel kisses. it’s not suddenly fine. we’re not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters “say” stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered “bonus” scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

Less magic schools. More magic universities. Unlearn the simplified models of your secondary education. Discover how to reference scrolls written by a wizard possessed by a different wizard. Identify bias in the voices that whisper from beyond the veil. Have your institution be accused of promoting a Merlinist agenda. Become addicted to energy potions.
this shit owns it’s just a number go up idle game except the idle mechanic comes from you writing JavaScript to automate tasks it seems like the end goal of the game is to perfectly optimize against this little arbitrary system they’ve created. There’s not any plot to speak of so far but even though nothing is happening people send you messages through the computer telling you to trust no one as they all have ulterior motives. Very relatable.
“if you dont ask the answer is always no” yeah but what if the answer is no plus they think im weird for asking. did you ever consider that in ur stupid fucking philosophy
“The worst thing they can say is no!”
You are so unbelievablely incorrect, like legit that’s so far from the truth that I don’t know what kind of world you live in.
the worst thing they could say is if they opened they’re mouth and emitted a single steady tone and it was the brown sound and everybody within earshot started uncontrollably shitting
actually i think the worst thing they could say is magnitude 15 earthquake. blows up earth
so they could say yes is what you’re saying. they could say yes when i ask, “will you blow up earth with magnitude 15 earthquake for me pls” that is wild
me when we start eating billionaires and i have to kill gomez addams
Gomez and Morticia, telling us where they store the spare guillotines so we can go after Jeff Bezos after we finish with them.
Look, I know we don’t want to admit that our heroes can be flawed, but this isn’t just people baselessly picking a rich person and saying they’re a billionaire.
Don’t hold back. Gomez will respect the revolutionary fire burning in your heart!
The Addams would bring the guillotines for the other billionaires, give away literally all their money and then still ASK for executions because it’s been so long since they had a good beheading in the family
honestly, you’d break his heart if you said you WEREN’T planning on sticking his head in a guillotine. morticia, too. they’d be upset at the special treatment, too, but mostly they really want to be executed gruesomely as they stare lovingly into each other’s eyes as their heads are separated from their bodies, and we need to respect that.
“I didn’t know you were gonna keep the calligraphied quotes I sent you”
WHAT???
WHAT??? BABE I WAS TRYING TO LAMINATE THOSE SO I WOULDN’T DAMAGE THEM-
IF ANYONE GIVES ME ANYTHING THAT COOL I’M TREASURING IT FOREVER!
I know!! They look like they were professionally made and she’s saying she would’ve made them look better if she’d known I would keep them…like what??? 😭😭
I’m not royalty lol. If someone thinks of me like that enough to make something for me it could be a scribble and I’d be honored beyond words!
For I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one. I’m a sinner, I’m a saint. I do not feel ashamed.
I can’t do this I’m going to (remembers suicide jokes have negative consequences on mental health) make a post that does the thing where a suicide joke is interrupted and replaced with something wacky and unexpected . And subvert the punchline in an avant-garde self-aware meta manner to reflect my curious and intellectual soul
Hmmm You reblog so many things... I dont wanna unfollow because I feel like i have to have one Tumblr Celeb who i follow? Like a tumblr rule? Like if i dont someone with 16 decillion followers will come down from the heavens and call me stinky? And ill die instantly?
hey btw anyone can steal this joke and put it in their own thing. do it with your ocs, do it with your favorite characters, do it with those dungeon meshi boys if you want.
we need to start romanticizing doing household chores in tank tops and sweatpants in the same way that we romanticize knighthood and i am not fucking kidding
