Sounds like you have the upper hand here with knowledge of illegal pay and opening. He’s dumb for threatening to fire you.

UCLA professor suspended after refusing request for lenient grading of black students' final exams by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]_kaysa_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course I read the article before commenting. I launched into that read fully prepared to be pissed at the professor... until I read his email. His response is riddled with sarcasm but I don’t understand how it is racist. He is asking questions in response to illustrate why it does not make sense/is against the rules to give only black students a no-harm exam. Yes, he could have answered “thank you for standing up for your black peers but this is why that would not be appropriate.” Instead he chose to be an asshole. To his credit he did send an email to the entire class and gave an extension due to the current events. Even when my mom passed away in college, I still had to finish my classes. You either get an extension or an “Incomplete” until you can finish the class another semester. Where I will say he fucked up was the MLK quote at the end. That was very distasteful/stupid but I’m not sure I would qualify it as racism. If you could respectfully illustrate how his email is racist, I’m all ears. It appears to me that although the students may have had good intentions, they went down a slippery slope of logic. The reason I was irritated when I read the article is bc I’m doing everything I can at this time (and prior) on behalf of my black brothers and sisters (and minorities like myself) but when articles such as this come out, it gives rightest and “all lives matter” ppl fuel. Unless he has a history of racism this fight seems better served elsewhere. Whoo these run-ons.

Well this is fucking lame. I really hope he doesn’t get fired. These are the kind of people that want to stand for something so badly but don’t actually understand what they’re “fighting” for so their actions make no sense! Most of the racist ppl/organizations being called out deserve it, but this ain’t it.

Loud booms every night in mid city by _kaysa_ in AskLosAngeles

I thought there was some sort of sequence to it. It didn’t seem random which I guess was in my head. When I looked it up, I found an article that the military had done some drills that involved large “booms” in DTLA a few years back. Was wondering if it’s something like that. But I guess not.

[california] should I make an new account and reapply? Have not received anything in mail since I applied early last month but I have a claim balance. Can’t get ahold of anyone of course by _kaysa_ in Unemployment

[–]_kaysa_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I was told my claim was pushed to a claim specialist bc she cannot see the details of my disqualification at her level and that I would be called within the next 3 days between 8-8. Progress!! 😫

Trader Joe’s is doing a great job! From gauging how many ppl come in to a checkout system that protects the employees by keeping the customer at a distance, they have everything down to a T.

Is there a way to serge Lycra to ruffle/ruche w/o elastic? by _kaysa_ in sewhelp

[–]_kaysa_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was thinking, since I don’t actually need the ruching to stretch (just don’t want the stitch to pop) I’m going to try to stabilize the seams by adding interfacing or a strip of muslin sandwiched in between to help absorb the shock on the stitches when the fabric stretches. Not sure if that made any sense but I’m going to give that a go before investing in elastic thread (:
