I looked again and found it 76. Plaintiff feared retaliation by MrBeast and other negative consequences on her employment if she refused to work during her FMLA leave. Indeed, Plaintiff was on a work conference call while in the labor and delivery room.

75. MrBeast required Plaintiff perform substantial and continuous work over
approximately an 8-week period. During this time, Plaintiff was in pain, healing from a complex
birth, not sleeping at night, and up working for MrBeast during the day.
76. Plaintiff feared retaliation by MrBeast and other negative consequences on her
employment if she refused to work during her FMLA leave. Indeed, Plaintiff was on a work
conference call while in the labor and delivery room.
77. In its Handbook, “How to Succeed In MrBeast Production,” MrBeast informs
employees they are expected to get the job done at any personal cost and no excuse is acceptable.
6
It tells employees, “[t]he [a]mount of hours [you] work is irrelevant;” “[w]e pivot a lot, be ready
to have everything flipped on its head at a moment's notice;” “[w]ork with intensity;” “[p]ush
outwards, not inwards;” and “[p]ull all nighters . . . .”7

Ok did not find this in my skim of the complaint what I did find was this

71. Plaintiff informed her supervisor that it was a difficult experience and that her baby required a stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. Notwithstanding, shortly thereafter and throughout April, 2025, with full knowledge that Plaintiff was on leave to care for herself and her
newborn, Plaintiff was asked by her supervisor to work on MrBeast’s upcoming Naruto collection
product launch. Plaintiff worked on this product launch continuously during the month of April.

72. On April 24, 2025, Plaintiff was asked by her supervisor to manage an exhibition booth at a town hall event which required long periods of standing, physical work (such as cleaning
and setting up displays), and required her to be away from her newborn for approximately 10 hours, three weeks after giving birth.

73. In May 2025, a producer for MrBeast contacted Plaintiff to work on a video
production that involved a professional soccer player, Neymar, to be shot in Brazil. The work required Plaintiff to participate in numerous calls with Neymar’s team and the Brazilian consulate. MrBeast suffered and permitted Plaintiff to travel to Brazil to work the Neymar video shoot.

So this is the relationship and sexuality education my kid is going to get in grade three that I can have them not take part in. What I want to know is how can I sign up too, this is good stuff.

The Ministry of Education's Expectations for Human Development and Sexual Health

Children in Grade 3 will:

identify the characteristics of healthy relationships (e.g., accepting and respecting differences, avoiding assumptions, being inclusive, communicating openly, establishing and respecting personal boundaries, listening, showing mutual respect and caring, being honest) and describe ways of responding to bullying and other challenges (e.g., exclusion, discrimination, peer pressure, abuse) and of communicating consent in their interactions with others

identify factors (e.g., sleep, food, physical activity, heredity, environment, support from a caring adult, sense of belonging, peer influence) that affect physical development (e.g., of hair, skin, teeth, body size and shape), social-emotional development (e.g., of self-awareness, adaptive skills, social skills), and the development of a healthy body image (e.g., of the ability to enjoy, respect, and celebrate one's body, to acknowledge one's thoughts and feelings about it, to accept its shape and size and to focus instead on what it can do)

describe how visible differences (e.g., skin, hair, and eye colour; facial features; body size and shape; physical aids or different physical abilities; clothing; possessions) and invisible differences (e.g., learning abilities, skills and talents, personal or cultural values and beliefs, mental illness, family background, personal preferences, allergies and sensitivities) make each person unique, and identify ways of showing respect for differences in others

demonstrate the difference between healthy and unhealthy boundaries and demonstrate an understanding that healthypersonal boundaries increase personal safety increase their understanding of qualities of healthy and unhealthy relationships, both online and offline

More information is available on the Ministry of Education's website.

I am really enjoying Stars in Her Eyes so far and this is an example of the kind of dialogue that makes it snap. The POV character has discovered romance and is the bookshop that introduced her to it, the romantic interest is explaining affordable ways of getting more to read...

have no damn clue what the hell
you're talking about before yanking my phone out. I scanned the search results for a few minutes, reading down the page. “So is alpha-to-omega fiction like a religious thing because I’m not really into—”

“No,” Courtney said at the same
time Samantha popped her head
out of the children’s section, sayIng the same word just as intensely.

Kid said I should go with an orangey red nail color. I listen to them because they are usually right. And yep, they were right again.

We have replaced almost all our coffee mugs with our most preferred format and I am very happy with this decision.

Going to the Lavender Law conference, I expected this to be a dark year but I didn't expect them to go quite so gothic with it or to have such impressive sets.

There is a musical on the second floor about it in the same hotel as the conference

I am getting used to bifocals. It turns out that I missed the point where I first needed glasses because of using an e-reader so about two months ago I picked up a book and discovered I couldn't read it comfortably anymore!

I found an old photo, this is cropped but gives you an idea of how it aged.

Wait where is #Bridgerton filmed and why do the Calipers have the US code and I think F 2nd on their bookshelves?
