muccamukkForbes: Taylor Swift And Blake Lively: Subpoena, Spectacle And Scrutiny.
IMO, dragging Swift in just to get attention, and then pretending Lively is the one dragging Swift in is just showing off how little Baldoni's team has on the legal side.
Reminder: Lively is suing over violations of her (and her female costars') right to a safe workplace. Leave Taylor Swift out of this.
The LA Times: Blake Lively backed by advocacy groups in legal fight with Justin Baldoni over #MeToo speech law
I don't think it's being reported enough that Baldoni's team is trying to strike down the law protecting survivors of sexual violence and discrimination from defamation suits. As in, get it declared unconstitutional because suing your victims should be part of Free Speech. Holy Fake Feminism, Batman.
Here's more about the law that Lively is invoking because this is a labour issue: Legislation to Protect Survivors of Sexual Assault, Harassment, and Discrimination from Weaponized Defamation Lawsuits Signed by Governor.
Here's a Bloomburg piece about on of the "inspirations" for why California decided it needed this law [archive link]: Ex-FTC Commissioner Faces Storm of Sexual Harassment Claims.
One of the women in that case helped put together one of the amicus briefs [PDF of court document], so that the law she helped draft, intending to protect people like her, doesn't get struck down. She has now been stalked, harassed and doxxed for speaking up in support of the law, because the Lively hate train people are truly free of hinges.

Fuck the Patriarchy Vidshow
Jun. 1st, 2025 02:25 pmpiI made a Fuck The Patriarchy vidshow for VidUKon 2025 exploring experiencing patriarchy, resistance and pushing for change, and seeking post-patriarchy and (queer) joy.
1. The Second Rib by Seasaltmemories (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Tell Patient Zero he can have his rib back. A dual portrait of how Utena and Anthy individually cope with patriarchy. (watch-
ing this vid is what inspired me to put together this show in the first place!)
2. Smile by Januarium (Kevin Can Fuck Himself)
No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice / No more Mrs. Fuckin’ Polite / Time for Mrs. Takin’ What’s Mine / You don’t need him
3. Losing My Mind by ohvienna (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Deanna Troi is fine (she’s just very tired, that’s all).
4. Dollhouse by Periru3 (Mad Men)
One day they’ll see what goes down in the kitchen.
5. Phenomenal Woman by odessie (Hidden Figures)
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire
6. Fascination by charmax (Billy Elliot)
The word is on your lips, say the word
7. Crazy, Classic, Life by metatxt (Pose)
Everyone wants a “crazy, classic, life.” Be Gay, Do Crimes!
8. Weapon by eruthros (Cindi Mayweather, Janelle Monáe)
Throw all your hell towards the heavens, cause your voice is a weapon
9. Stand By You by thingswithwings (Multifandom)
Male privilege is a shield - you can choose what you use the shield for.
10. A Gorgeous Vid Moment by Llin (Queer Eye)
Young man, what do you wanna be?
11. I Know A Place by heresluck (Sense8)
Don’t you be afraid of love and affection.
12. Salute! by nu_breed (정년이 | Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born)
let us stand together/ Maeran Gukgeuk is for the lesbians! **PREMIERE**
13. People Like Us by JinkyO (We Are Lady Parts)
We are all misfits living in a world on fire.
14. Black Tie by such_heights (A League of Their Own)
You will find the clothes that fit.
