Discord forcing users to upload IDs and then having their service provider for this get hacked and leaking those IDs is incredible, they should be sued into the ground for this
By the way, because they know they can get sued from stuff like this, they’re making it so that you can’t sue them. Make sure to opt out of forced arbitration with Discord so that you can sue them:
most of our money comes from individual donations throughout the year and from our annual fundraiser in June. We have been super fortunate this year to also have received some money from grants (shoutout P4A!!!). Most of our money does go directly into building the collection and operating expenses!
if stability = the library stays up & running, then yes! I’d say we are fairly stable. If donations slowed down next year &/or we didn’t get any grants the library would still be open, we would just not be able to buy as many new books. basically the more money we have, the faster we can grow!
one of the most helpful things folks can do to support us, is set up reoccurring donations (per month or quarterly)! spreading the word is great too - print some of our flyers! and drop them in coffee shops, pinned on community notice boards, etc..
By all accounts, Hardison pretending to be a trans man in The Cross My Heart Job shouldn’t work. I should be like “Wow, this is really insensitive.” But, and this is obviously up for debate, I think it does kind of work. Cause the point isn’t to make fun of trans people. Hardison doesn’t pretend to be some caricature, he just pretends to be a trans man. And it also serves a purpose in the plot. The only ID they could get for him belonged to a woman so he’s pretending to be a trans man to get past security, with the comedy of the scene largely coming from the security guys’ brains short circuiting upon being loudly accused of being transphobic, allowing Hardison to basically speedrun through the whole encounter while the security guys frantically try to cover their asses.
It also, oddly enough, kind of has a pro-trans message in it. Cause Hardison doesn’t just pretend to be a trans man, he pretends to be a proud trans man who will not have you questioning his identity. He is a man and damn you if you think otherwise.
Leverage really did say “trans men are men.” They said it through a character pretending to be a trans man, but they did say it.
