so basically what happened on friday with kesha is that a motion for a preliminary injunction was denied. the trial as such hasn’t even started yet.
kesha’s case against dr luke is a hybrid of torts and contracts claims, and it’s a case in equity rather than in law. what that means is that she doesn’t want money damages (which would be a case in law), she wants a thing to happen (in cases in equity this is essentially called specific performance). she wants to be released from her contract. if she’s asking for money damages i haven’t read anything about it.
so when suits like this are brought, when the plaintiff wants the defendant to either do or not do something, a preliminary hearing for the injunction is held basically so a judge (no jury yet) can assess whether it’s in the ~*~interests of justice~*~ for a temporary version of what the plaintiff is asking for to be put into place before the court (either judge or jury) hears all the evidence at trial.
kesha’s lawyer moved for a preliminary injunction in the form of a temporary release from her contract, so that she can produce music without dr luke while the trial is pending (because who the fuck knows how long the trial is going to take). this was denied. this doesn’t necessarily mean she’s locked into the contract forever, because the trial on whether or not she should be released hasn’t happened yet. but it does mean that, until a verdict is handed down on that issue, the contract stands as valid.
seriously dudes my big concern is that ppl will think it’s already over and will stop showing up for her and supporting her
#GOOD INFO #BUT LIKE WHY ARE PEOPLE ACTING LIKE THEM SUPPORTING KESHA HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE CASE #LIKE HONESTLY?
listen up fucktruck my big concern is that a rape victim doesn’t feel alone nobody thinks that public outcry has anything to do with the outcome of a civil trial so sit all the way down maybe
this girl has been all alone in her pain for ten years and i don’t want people to forget about her again because of a misunderstanding of the legal process

"Yesterday I responded to a comment by @insanitybytes22, in which she suggested things wives and mothers can do to help men as an olive branch instead of blaming men for every marital breakdown. I appreciated her saying so.
But I remember my wife often saying how exhausting it was for her to have to tell me what to do all the time. It’s why the sexiest thing a man can say to his partner is “I got this,” and then take care of whatever needs taken care of.
I always reasoned: “If you just tell me what you want me to do, I’ll gladly do it.”
But she didn’t want to be my mother. She wanted to be my partner, and she wanted me to apply all of my intelligence and learning capabilities to the logistics of managing our lives and household.
She wanted me to figure out all of the things that need done, and devise my own method of task management.
I wish I could remember what seemed so unreasonable to me about that at the time."

One of my biggest fears about this election is that all the millennials are gonna come out and vote for Bernie Sanders and forget to vote for anybody else. Every seat in the House of Representatives is up for reelection and a bunch of Senate seats are up as well. Most states do their governor and state legislature during mid-terms (which means we’re all gonna need to go out again in 2018), but a few are open in this cycle and people living in those states need to know about that too.
There are two things about American politics that nobody seems to know and everyone should: republicans only win when people don’t vote and local politics affect you at least as much as national level shit. Vote for your favorite Presidential candidate, but also vote for like, city council and state representative and stuff. It’s all important and if we as a generation want to make real change we need to flex our voting power at every level of government and show our country that we are a political force to be reckoned with. I want to see us out, in force, in every election until we’re all goddamned dead. Because that’s how shit gets done in a democracy.
