A lot is happening here lol. Ash comes home, finds out his mom’s dating Jessie, Delia calls Jessie her girlfriend for the first time, James and Meowth ALSO find out that Jessie and Delia have been dating for some time and Mimey is not having it.
I’m going to a family party tomorrow, and as the eldest member of the youngest current generation in our family it falls to me to keep the heat off of my younger family members who are much more obviously queer than I am. I’m planning to achieve this by reading a book that’s gonna cause the most arguments.
If Taylor Swift used her power for good she would be such a great stochastic terrorist. She would post on Instagram “Hey guys, Tay here. Just wanted to say that whoever delivers me the head of Ron DeSantis on a platter will get free Eras Tour tickets. #ShadeNeverMadeAnybodyLessGay.” It would be at her doorstep in two hours.
I… what.
😦
Girl help they are doing Qanon style esoteric analysis of Taylor Swift Selfies
Say what you will but that second one fits the idea of stochastic terrorism much better than the first.
Some people say they want shit and then be mad when they get it smh
I just finished moving in and getting settled,,, 🧍♂️ so there may be a slight delay to the Sunday Thing But It’s Happening Guys I Am Actively Writing I Prommy
OWL OWL have you watched cool doji danshi, because I feel like second would very much be like that. Basically a really cool looking guy who's also kinda awkward
The headline is pretty awful but this is one of those things that gets worse as you read it:
The 14-page petition, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court, alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who took Oher into their home as a high school student, never adopted him. Instead, less than three months after Oher turned 18 in 2004, the petition says, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.
“Michael Oher discovered this lie to his chagrin and embarrassment in February of 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship to which he consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family, in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys.”
Oher was a rising high school senior when he signed the conservatorship papers, and he has written that the Tuohys told him that there was essentially no difference between adoption and conservatorship. “They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as 'adoptive parents,’ but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account,” Oher wrote in his 2011 best-selling memoir “I Beat the Odds.”
But there are some important legal distinctions. If Oher had been adopted by the Tuohys, he would have been a legal member of their family, and he would have retained power to handle his own financial affairs. Under the conservatorship, Oher surrendered that authority to the Tuohys, even though he was a legal adult with no known physical or psychological disabilities.
While the [movie] deal allowed the Tuohys to profit from the film, the petition alleges, a separate 2007 contract purportedly signed by Oher appears to “give away” to 20th Century Fox Studios the life rights to his story “without any payment whatsoever.” The filing says Oher has no recollection of signing that contract, and even if he did, no one explained its implications to him.
The [movie] deal lists all four Tuohy family members as having the same representative at Creative Artists Agency, the petition says. But Oher’s agent, who would receive movie contract and payment notices, is listed as Debra Branan, a close family friend of the Tuohys and the same lawyer who filed the 2004 conservatorship petition, the petition alleges. Branan did not return a call to her law office on Monday.
“Mike’s relationship with the Tuohy family started to decline when he discovered that he was portrayed in the movie as unintelligent,” Stranch said. “Their relationship continued to deteriorate as he learned that he was the only member of the family not receiving royalty checks from the movie, and it was permanently fractured when he realized he wasn’t adopted and a part of the family.”
For years, Oher has chafed at how “The Blind Side” depicted him, saying it hurt his football career and clouded how people view him. He has said that based on the film, some NFL decision-makers assumed he was mentally slow or lacked leadership skills.
“People look at me, and they take things away from me because of a movie,” Oher told ESPN in 2015. “They don’t really see the skills and the kind of player I am.”
“Beyond the details of the deal, the politics, and the money behind the book and movie, it was the principle of the choices some people made that cut me the deepest.”
I’m really glad this has made it out to the non-sports world. (There were rumors in the college football world that this shit was majorly suspect, but no one could get the whole story.) The Tuohys deserve to be dragged in public for all to see.
And I’m heartbroken for Michael Oher, learning that the people he thought were his family did him so dirty, but I’m glad he’s got a chance at some sort of recompense.
