“ You know, I love the Internet, because thanks to its info-distributing, organizing prowess, stuff like this can go down, all in 24 hours:

1) The school board of Itawamba County cancels prom after Constance Millen demands to be able to bring her girlfriend, and to wear a tux. [Huff Post]

2) Daily Vos says, fuck that noise, the internet can throw you a better party, one everyone can attend! and starts planning.

3) ACLU immediately gets their act in gear and sues Itawamba County.

4) Facebook group Let Constance Take Her Girlfriend To Prom has, of this minute, 20,000 fans.

5) Someone finds email addresses for a bunch of people on the Itawamba County school board, and publishes them widely. Here they are:
[Edit: can be found at OP]

6) Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition starts organizing to be the focal point in-state of Prom For Everyone

This response makes me so incredibly happy. I love that when this shit went down, the immediate response was to prioritize helping the kids at Itawamba Agricultural High School have prom, and to put the lie to the school board's attempt to make Constance the bad guy. I love that the ACLU has lawyers primed and hungry to put idiocy like this down, and that it seems to have taken microseconds for them to start their shit-kicking engines. I love that 599 people over on the Daily Vos have vowed to make monetary contributions to make Prom For Everyone happen.

I especially love it that a moment of discrimination and NO YOU CAN'T by TPTB turns into an uproarious and confident YES WE CAN.

Fuckin' a, Internet. ”

“ Kirchen dürfen deshalb in ständiger Abwägung mit Artikel 9 GG nicht nur ihre Werteordnung im Arbeitsrecht abbilden (sie haben sogar eigene Mitarbeitervertretungen, keine Betriebsräte), sondern dürfen insbesondere nicht bestreikt werden - das Recht der Arbeitnehmer aus Artikel 9 GG tritt hinter dem Recht der Religionsgemeinschaft zurück. ”

“ Back on Wing Commander 1 we were getting an exception from our EMM386 memory manager when we exited the game. We'd clear the screen and a single line would print out, something like "EMM386 Memory manager error. Blah blah blah." We had to ship ASAP. So I hex edited the error in the memory manager itself to read "Thank you for playing Wing Commander." ”
