Apple claimed only 2 docs as evidence to support firing me but refused to give me copies. After I filed this FOIA request to US Dept of Labor asking for my case file, OSHA's response revealed 1 of those 2 docs is an email to Apple legal with Gobbler photos of my naked breasts. https://mastodon.social/@ashleygjovik/113693146014087195Apple redacted the photo of my naked breasts prior to sending the naked photos of me to OSHA, with Apple claiming my tits are "Apple Confidential." This is what Apple plans to argue to a jury?

There were a few other docs in the OSHA records that were similarly breathtaking including: Apple reporting my OSHA whistleblower complaint to OSHA as "leaking"; & someone emailing OSHA with conspiracy theories why my tweets about Apple's illegal spying prove I'm a con artistHere's Apple's lawyers emailing the whistleblower retaliation investigator with public links to the complaint I filed to OSHA about the case, not only admitting to spying on me, but claiming the complaint itself is leaking

Then in 2023 someone emailed my OSHA investigator directly & provided her screenshots of my tweets & private messages to someone arguing my entire whistleblower saga (including getting poisoned?!) was theater to coerce Apple to pay me exactly what I'd make if I just did my job.

🧵Apple's Evidence Privilege Log for Apple v Gjovik:Today, I'd like to show you a privilege log produced by Apple which reveals Apple's legal & PR teams were after me 5+ mo's prior to Apple claiming I did anything wrong. This obliterates their defense. Let's walk through it!First, quick explainer. In litigation, if a party withholds docs claiming legal privilege, they have to create a report that explains what’s being withheld and why. It’s an accountability checkpoint built into the process.

But privilege isn't a blanket shield. Attorney-client privilege only protects confidential legal advice; not general bizWork product only covers materials prepared because of real litigation — not coverupsWhen biz misuses privilege, they undermine transparency & public policyHere, Apple's legal teams formally managed Apple's "response" to me about my protected activity starting in March 2021External defense counsel was engaged by mid-Aug 2021 — weeks before Apple alleged any misconduct

In March through June 2021, Apple’s internal legal teams weren't investigating my Environmental Health & Safety concerns.They were preparing internal messaging. Coaching management. Drafting talking points. Separating workers.The focus wasn’t compliance — it was containment.

By Aug 2021, without any findings against me, Apple retained external counsel. Hiring defense lawyers before the HR investigation strongly suggests the company views workers & their disclosures as risks to neutralize.After Apple fired me in Sept 2021, they cited the supposed misconduct as tweets from late Aug 2021. But Apple's own records show they were preparing to fire me much earlier. A legal *team* was already directing internal strategy before any alleged "policy violation" ever occurred.

Anyone want to help with some legal research for the Gjovik v Apple appeal?Tell me about your favorite enforcement actions / lawsuit wins against megacorporations over the last few years related to environmental practices, violent crimes, consumer rights, labor and employment practices, white collar crime, and corruption. Other special mentions also welcome. Focus on US cases is preferred, but international also welcome.

Today, I’m proud to share the launch of Silentium Fractum, the first issue of The Journal of Structural Power & Resistance — a self-published, open-access academic journal that documents how powerful institutions weaponize legal systems, and how those systems can be tactically resisted.Silentium Fractum includes six original articles that analyze the structure of procedural violence and outline frameworks for asymmetric legal resistance.Read more here:https://www.ashleygjovik.com/blog/20250526-new-publication-exposing-procedural-obstruction-and-retaliation-through-legal-resistance

During my recent bio research, I've accumulated a long list of academic grievances and am slowly working through resolving them all. Yesterday I addressed the habit of researchers to still act like complex life could have evolved on land prior to 600MYA.https://zenodo.org/records/15739885

🚨 Gjovik v Apple update!!! ⚖️ We're now suing Apple again, more, from another angle, with six new claims, & adding a city in the mix.Today, I filed my sixty day notice of a US EPA Citizen Suit under RCRA, Clean Air Act, TSCA, Clean Water Act, & EPCRA. If the US DOJ doesn't file suit in 60-day, I will, & I'll also add a Public Nuisance claim, be appointed pseudo-public prosecutor. Let's do this thing. You can read the notice here: https://www.ashleygjovik.com/uploads/1/3/7/0/137008339/in_re_3250_scott_blvd_-_20250630_sixty_day_notice.pdf

Apparently shrews are very rarely seen and grossly understudied, and several are endangered in Massachusetts. Talked to state EPA today and they might be able to get someone to rescue it from my apartment. I'm feeling very proud that I kind of tamed a shrew.

Apple: antitrust enforcement creates a public safety issue so DOJ should let Apple violate antitrust laws, to keep the public safealso Apple: literally dumps 8+ metric tons of toxic waste & lethal gases into an apartment complex, public park, & children's playground, & terrorizes whistleblowers

We're organizing a rally on Sat. 8/16/25 (12pm) at Apple's secret fab that nearly killed me in 2020 & made multiple people severely ill. Apple's still running the shop, refusing to correct toxic waste violations, & putting an entire community at risk.Sign our petition telling politicians this plant needs shut down. Apple needs to follow the law and do industrial activities in industrial zones, away from homes and playgrounds.https://chng.it/dmby4J6xdm

"Apple settles with EPA after whistleblower tip on toxic waste dumping in California""The inspections followed a June 2023 complaint from former Apple employee Ashley Gjøvik, who said she alerted regulators after observing chemical emissions venting into the air from an Apple facility near her Santa Clara home, where she said she had become sick from the fumes."Link: https://www.sfchronicle.com/tech/article/epa-apple-hazardous-waste-21195591.php

Super niche request - but do any of you know of any high quality & reasonably understandable industrial plumbing online training videos or guides, of the quality for professionals, but free for me & available today, & covering waste water cross-connections/backflow engineering + O&M?This topic seems to be more complex then others with remarkably little free/online reference material.

&/or - I found these; if you know this stuff, would these give me a crash course? If so, then does anyone want to buy me plumbing ebooks/courses? :-DCourses, but California would be preferable: https://reg.pwd.aa.ufl.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=5724984&selectedProgramAreaId=1015917&selectedProgramStreamId=5725270https://www.skillworks.com/independent_study_courses/ma_cccbfp_online/Book: https://iapmostore.org/backflow-reference-manual-4th-edition-ebook/
