TV Executives: “if the strike goes in, 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.

It's just hilarious that they're trying to pull this whole "but your favorite shows!" nonsense.

Oh, you mean the shows you cancel after the third season no matter how good they're doing to avoid paying writers residuals? The shows that get produced and then never aired because you found a nice tax writeoff? The shows whose writing suffers because the writers' room got six weeks to write before getting booted and making the showrunner adapt all their scripts? The shows you straight up pulled from your streaming service to scam their crews out of rewatch money?

I will happily sacrifice my shows for the writers that gave them to me, no questions needed, but if anyone tries to say that the blatantly terrible way streaming treats its writers is somehow beneficial to shows, remind them of Infinity Train and Batgirl. That's the ideal they're pushing towards if someone doesn't say no, and we should be thankful that the writers are doing that for us.

Go ahead, cancel my shows. Instead of spinning while I watch tv I’ll just move my spinning-chair outside and hang out in my garden and chat with my tomatoes.

Obi-Wan: *upon ‘finding out’ that Anakin and Padme are married, turns to Padme* I’m so angry with you, Senator.
Anakin: Master, you can’t just-
Obi-Wan: Yes I can, Anakin Skywalker! She didn’t even ask for your hand before stealing you away like some barbaric queen of old, defiling you in secret without my blessing. It’s just insulting.
Anakin: ...um... so she... hmmm... what would you have said if she asked for my hand?
Obi-Wan: The same thing any other Old Guard Master like myself would have done; given her as task of great importance. If she survived, she would have earned the right to love you as you both wish.
Padme: *deciding to play along* ...what sorta task?
Anakin: *gasp* Padme, you can’t do that! Nothing dangerous!
Obi-Wan: Oh, the most dangerous of all tasks.
Anakin: Obi-Wan, no!
Padme: I can handle it.
Anakin: *is precious dumb baby* :(
Obi-Wan: Steal Chancellor Palpatine’s Correlian brandy from his office.
Anakin: ...??? *fully thinks that Palps would laugh it off and hand it to her if she even asked*
Padme: Done. *heads off*
One hour later
Padme: *busting into Obi-Wan’s apartment in a panic with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma* YALL WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT HOLY SHIT WE NEED TO CALL THE JEDI COUNCIL-
10 years later
Obi-Wan: And that, my dears, is how your mother won your fathers hand in marriage and saved the republic by ending a war.
Luke: *plays with ship*
Leia: *braiding Luke’s hair* Mom did good. I will do better when I ask for my husband’s hand.
Obi-Wan: I’m absolutely sure of it.

THIS IS ALWAYS FUNNY

@irritatedlifeguard I agree with your tags.

my ultimate life hack? i like, never wear makeup except for occasions where i want to feel overly hot/professional. this way, people who see me everyday won’t be shocked when i don’t wear makeup, they will instead be shocked at how much hotter i can become. how much potential i don’t unlock for no reason other than laziness

I need you all to understand that every time I put the effort in I get 80s teen movie transformation level doubletakes.

It’s hilarious

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Yep. I save my makeup and hair styling (anything more elaborate than a straight braided tail) for when I go to ren faires or cosplay. It’s like my very own Magical Girl Transformation.

Wait, wait…. Is that seriously it? How their clothes go?

that genuinely is it

Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.

And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

This sort of clothing solution wasn’t just for the Mediterranean, or northern Africa, either. Behold the Belted Plaid:

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

you know when you’re in america when your training modules for being an assistant preschool teacher have how to clean toys on one page and how to respond to a school shooting on the next

babies. i have to take a class on how to protect infants, small defenseless innocents that have nothing but good to give to the world, from a school shooter. i have to learn how to keep a 6 month old quiet when gunshots are ringing out in the next room. i have to learn how to hide a room full of babies just woken from naptime by a murder with a gun, how to hold them and rock them and pray they don’t cry and let a shooter know where we are. god bless america

this is okay to rb by the way. this is the reality for teachers, by all means fucking show it to people

have you considered carrying rather than crying on tumblr?

Why should I be expected to carry a gun when I work with 18 month olds? What in teaching children how to walk and speak and hold a crayon and identify the colors of a rainbow equals carrying? Are you a teacher? Do you work with toddlers? Are you willing to work in these conditions? Are you gonna pay my hazard pay? Stand in traffic cunt
