CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

I read about this one guy who loved music but wasn’t a talented musician. But he WAS a capable hand with electronics, so he became a sound-system guy.

Literally me sucking at writing and becoming an editor instead

Ruby Bridges is 68. This is not ancient history. Not even close.

I know Ruby. She's a really nice person. The idea that they would try and write what she did as a girl out of history is shocking to me on so many levels, the simplest of which is just, but don't they know how lovely she is?

This is what they want to erase:

Mothers harassing, yelling racial epithets, chanting “2-4-6-8 we don’t want to integrate” at a little girl who didn’t even know what integrate meant

Dragging their children into their cult of race hate

Parading around a black baby in a casket to instill fear in a little girl and every black person

Insulting others entering the school, yelling at mothers and their daughters that Ruby will give them diseases

LAPD detonated 5000 lbs of fireworks in the middle of a residential area, injuring at least 17 people and causing $900 million in various damages in a low-income, majority-POC neighborhood.

They then continue to pursue caging the person whose fireworks they stole while news media misreports to cover for police incompetency and destruction.

It took TWO YEARS to get the names of those involved with this incident. There are people still protesting, still living in hotels, still with unfulfilled claims to the city from this shit
