While verifying this I found out that Chelsea Peretti’s brother, Jonah Peretti, is the CEO of Buzzfeed
TV Executives: “if the strike goes on, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”
Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.
Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.
And the thot plickens….
HOLY FUCK
SAG-AFTRA = Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists
More info:
- The actors walk off at the end of June if the studios don’t sit down with the writers
- Rumor is directors will follow. This will grind everything to a halt.
- Nobody is asking for a boycott. Neil Gaiman has pointed out that making Good Omens S2 a huge hit actually puts more pressure on Amazon to negotiate with the writers
- This implies it’s okay to catch up on old streaming content without breaking the line too
- This is a screenwriter strike; books will keep coming out.
- Movies already made will keep coming out for months. Again, actors have not called for a boycott; you aren’t breaking the line if you go see a movie.
- I don’t know where this puts podcasts but none of them have studio funding or platforms so they’ll probably keep going.
- Substack/Tumblr book club are all public domain works and will keep going. In addition to Dracula Daily there’s Whale Weekly, Dickens Daily, My Dear Wormwood (The Screwtape Letters), Letters from Watson (Sherlock Holmes) and more.
- Your local library always needs love. With the Libby app you don’t even need to physically go there.
Canadian wildfire smoke creates hazy skies and unhealthy polluted air quality in New York City (2023)
The sun is shrouded as it rises in a hazy, smoky sky behind the Empire State Building, One Vanderbilt and the Chrysler Building in NYC.
I bet if a mushroom could lap water out of your hand with a tongue that a gently drinking mushroom tongue on your hand would be the softest and gentlest thing.
jesus christ, i experienced brief but severe grief over not actually being able to experience this.
I think it would feel like a lizard tongue but I've never had a lizard drink out of my hand either, and thus the whole thing remains conceptually elusive.
this put such a vivid image in my head i needed to make it real as soon as i got home
This makes me indescribably overjoyed.

THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989) dir. John Musker & Ron Clements THE LITTLE MERMAID (2023) dir. Rob Marshall
this doesn’t have a fake answer and i know earnest polls get reblogged less. but uh…… what if i ask nicely.
you can instantly make a cool female character if you just take any stereotypically masculine character type and make him a butch lady. easiest trick in the book. you can try this at home
im not talking even about broad scale archetypes like Action Hero. those are cool don't get me wrong but if you take more specific stock characters such as "cartoonish mob boss" or "gentleman detective" or "elderly mad scientist" then you have an instant hit on your hands. lesbians WILL love you forever and you WILL be the most interesting person around
