Death is a natural part of life. Not your death though. Your death is gonna be super fucked up.
I think about this every hour of every day of every month by the way
“I’m like, ‘Okay, she’s a doll. She’s a plastic doll. She doesn’t have organs. If she doesn’t have organs, she doesn’t have reproductive organs. If she doesn’t have reproductive organs, would she even feel sexual desire?’ No, I don’t think she could,” Robbie said. “She is sexualized. But she should never be sexy. People can project sex onto her. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it’s fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt.”
Margot Robbie said Ace Barbie Rights with her whole chest.

Full thread from Sam on the SAG strike and Dropout!
[ID: A thread from Sam on twitter, as follows: "A thread about the strike and Dropout production: 👇✊. I stand in complete and utter solidarity with our striking performers. I myself am SAG-AFTRA, as are others on our executive team, having come from the world of working actors. I am nothing but sympathetic to their cause and outraged by the mafia-like behavior of the major streamers and AMPTP. It is harder than ever to make a living in this industry, and that goes even for the lucky few of us who get to work on meaningful projects.
In the meanwhile… 🤑 Uber-rich CEOs and shareholders are cashing in like never before 💸 Major streamers are gambling millions on dubious projects and business models 🍾 Hollywood is hiding profits and playing the victim while drinking champagne aboard their superyachts
Dropout production is right now on hold. Because we aren't associated with the AMPTP, it's possible we may be able to reach an interim agreement with SAG that allows us to continue to produce content during the strike.
But we'll only do that, obviously, if we get the blessing of the union and the buy-in of our performers. If not, we have enough content in the can to last us a little past the end of the year.
I pride myself in that Dropout has always paid above SAG minimums. As the years go on and the company is healthier, we will strive to do even better, and then even better still. Without the talent of our performers, we are zilch. Zero. Nothing."
Attached is an instagram post from an actor reading: "The Netflix show in question is shorter than a traditional half hour. But @ collegehumor and @ dropouttv paid me MORE than that for one of their scripted series. Dropout was a brand new online platform at the time and they still managed to pay their actors more than NETFLIX for scripted short form content."
Thread continues: "Public companies don't do this for the very simple reason that they feel more indebted to their executives and shareholders than they do their workforce. It's why corporations are so often exploitative. Our industry, because our jobs are so desirable, is especially vulnerable to exploitation. Hollywood takes advantage of that by making us feel generally commoditized, cheap, and replaceable …which is ironic given just how personal our work so often is. That's why unions - and the power of collective bargaining - is so important: because public companies often won't pay their workforce any more than they're forced to.
As for me, I intend to honor my union's position that I not promote SAG productions as a performer -- even if they are produced by me. That means that I won't personally be promoting any of our shows for the time being.
Attached is a screenshot of Sam on Discord responding to the question "given the strike… what picket line chant will you be rockin'?" with "i'm a talent / CEO! me says me has got to go!"
Thread continues: "This year, instead of running a FYC campaign for Game Changer, we donated $10k to the Entertainment Community Fund in solidarity with the WGA. Today, in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA, I'm personally matching that donation with another $10,000. If you have any disposable income, I encourage you to donate as well: https://entertainmentcommunity.org. And as soon as I test negative for COVID, I'll see you on the picket line. ✊"]
we need to go back to hating tumblr. no more hellsite (affectionate). don't even think of giving these clowns your money. if i see you with a checkmark next to your name i'm opening fire
*sound of gun cocking* they can be disabled
tumblr's current business model isn't profitable and never will be and no amount of scolding from staff blogs or tumblr ad-free pay piggies is gonna fix that. don't let yourself be guilted into buying merch, badges or ad-free. you're throwing your money into a bottomless pit while the techbro ghouls running this website laugh about you at their next board meeting while applauding the shmucks coming up with new ideas on how to twitter- or tiktokify the website
''but tumblr needs to make money!!!''
if tumblr really wants its regular user onboard with keeping the website afloat then we should at least demand that they do the bare minimum in keeping the site functional. and right now, they're not even doing that. every change they've made lately has made the website/app worse. i should give my money to tumblr so what—they can make a more intrusive version of tumblr live? remove the chronical dashboard? come up with an even more transphobic way of doing content moderation? yeah, no thanks

STOP THINKING THERE IS A DEADLINE. THERE IS NO DEADLINE. TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND TAKE YOUR TIME.
This is great advice for everyone except me, who works in law
Remember these terms for professions to help encourage gender neutral language!
somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
i feel like there is a lot of misinfo going around about fans’ role in the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike…
i see people telling fans on tumblr not to be scabs and not to cross picket lines and not to see media that will be coming out during the strikes… but as far as i know (and i could be wrong of course, i’m not in the industry) — you’re not considered a scab unless you’re part of the striking unions (or you want to join them in the future) and you work during the strike
and “crossing the picket line” specifically means working in the industry for one of the studios during the strike while others are striking. it doesn’t mean watching media, reblogging gifsets, or even just talking about or giving attention to media in general
i’m seeing panic and anxiety from people who are thinking they did something wrong by reblogging a gifset on tumblr dot com and are encouraging others “not to cross the picket line/don’t be a scab!” and like… this is fearmongering and anxiety producing to a lot of people for whom these terms do not apply
in reality until the writers or actors call for a boycott (which they HAVE NOT at the moment), boycotting media or giving it less attention actually is counterproductive to the strike’s goals. multiple authors/actors have said we should be continuing to engage with media in order to show studios that we value the work of writers and actors that studios are trying to eliminate
there also seems to be some confusion about engaging with media while the actors are on strike because *they* aren’t allowed to promote media (by participating in press junkets, promo work etc)… but… reblogging an actor’s likeness on tumblr is not breaking the strike if you yourself are not striking
there’s some nuance to this if you’re a current or aspiring union member but in that case you should be following official guidance from the WGA/SAG-AFTRA and not emotionally loaded posts from tumblr telling you you’re doing something wrong without realizing it
ppl complaining about the writers strike are weak & lame for obvious reasons, but also bc of their reliance on new/current shows. like...develop an unhealthy & isolating hyperfixation on a 20+ years old television show like the rest of us...
lmao tumblr letting their users choose whether or not they want their likes to be public but then pulling a twitter 2.0 and showing your likes on your followers’ dashboards and specially saying who liked the posts in their new update, without the users’ consent or a way to turn it off, is actually pretty insane.
like how many times to we — the users — have to tell them we don’t want tumblr to be like any other social media platforms and that tumblr’s being different than twitter, instagram, tiktok is actually what makes us stay on this silly little site.
respectfully @staff you’re driving your users away. stop trying to “fix” things that are good and don’t need to be fixed. we want tumblr to be tumblr. we don’t want the site to be twitter or instagram 2.0
WAIT LIKES AREN’T PRIVATE ANYMORE?
likes are still private if you choose 4 them 2 be. this is the "in your orbit" feature that's already existed 4 years; the only thing that's changed is that they've made it less obtuse what "in your orbit" actually means+how the feature works. if your likes are private, they will not be suggested, and most people have this feature turned off already. if you don't, you can switch it off in your dashboard settings. you can also make sure your likes are private from your blog settings
the top post on the changes blog says as much about this (you can see it here). i know tumblr has been going downhill lately but there's no need 2 panic about this
Reblogging for the last post - the setting to turn this off has been there for a while.
Go to ‘Blog Settings’ for your main Tumblr (so in this case, dreamsatdusk). There is a Likes section and a Following section if you scroll down. Here you have switches to turn off people seeing your Likes and Followers.
And under Settings > Dashboard, you can turn off seeing things due to other people’s like if you want too.
