"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.

I was interested in this because as a new U.S. resident I had many companies ask for proof of residency/citizenship *and* age in phone screen which are both illegal practices, so I did some research. Here’s some important info:

Some states have their own anti-discrimination laws and agencies, but you’re always covered by federal level by EEOC. You don’t need to submit info to both fed or state, submit with either and they will open relevant case with the other.
They’re very strict on timing. Some states require you to file within 180 days of the discrimination happening (Some states allow up to 300 days).
Multiple things have to happen within those 180 days: start the process by submitting an inquiry online and after that there will be an in-person interview at your local EEOC field office, after which you can submit an actual charge of discrimination.
EEOC will help expedite those things if you have 30 days or less in that timeline.
EEOC collected $404 million for discrimination victims in 2010 over a record of almost 100,000 individual cases (average of $4,000 per case — so some cases will receive less than this).

If I could live anywhere, I think I might live in my dad's model railway layout.

Great public transport links. Affordable housing. Lots of green space.

Also Dr Who is there.

Someday I’m gonna need to actually write about this conservative tactic of demanding we basically turn off the part of our brain that interprets words and finds meaning when we talk to them. If they don’t specifically say some exact words, well you can’t respond to those words. You can’t assume JK Rowling is saying she’s a victim of a witch hunt by trans people because she never said those exact words in that exact order.

It’s a fascinating form of intellectual cowardice, where they want to essentially say something without ever being held responsible for saying that thing.
