I was just watching star trek and this closed caption made me choke

Let 👏 him 👏 out 👏

So this just happened

Not unusual to have fog near an air cooled condenser.

I took my meds too close to bedtime again and I need you all to know the dream I had last night involved Robin Williams becoming the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. Not, a character portrayed by Robin Williams, just Robin Williams as himself running around Hogwarts doing wandless magic and being as loud and big as possible because and I quote before I forget:

“Listen, children, I’m not saying all this bad shit that is happening isn’t scary and you shouldn’t be concerned–because you should!–but I’m telling you this now for free. Life is a boggart, it’s the biggest boggart of them all. You never know what it’s going to look like one moment to the next. And sometimes you just gotta laugh. It’s okay to laugh. It’s part of the grieving process. You need to grieve before you can heal. But it’s okay to laugh while you’re doing it.”

I didn’t wake up right after that, some more stuff happened in a hazy sort of way as the dream began to dissolve into conciousness, but I remember him yelling Expecto Patronum as he punched a Death Eater in the face. Because sometimes, evidently, you have to make your own happy memories.

Honestly this sounds like exactly the right time to take your meds, hot damn.

oh and happy nano or whatever

the amount of people in the replies saying “what career” lmao

Gladly

Don't forget this meme exist because everyone on the set was hating him and they get super happy when he died.

Okay so I reblogged this somewhat uncritically at first I'll admit. I remembered that media is going to attempt to turn actors into people that we can turn against. Despite his... Previous behaviors I wanted to be 100% sure. So here is his comments from Instagram on what he said:

Also here's a link to the previous behaviors in question

Now you can see here he is just saying striking is something he does not like and he expects to be present on the picket line.

HOWEVER

He has already crossed the picket line. As many are aware SAG-AFTRA has called for all union members to STOP promotion and events. This includes social media promotion. For his show, Heels, new season he did this:

So not only has he promoted the show on social media, and done so in a way that shows that he clearly knows what he is doing. BUT he also attended a convention which if you look it up was 100% AFTER the union call to cut event attendance. AKA something DIRECTLY in opposition to his union's strike requirements. If you check their website you can see it is one of the immediate things that is seen as a call to arms for striking actors.

To attend this convention and sign autographs and do promotion for the show with his attendance is a CLEAR CUT violation of the union rules for the strike. Full-stop right there, he's a Scab 100%. No "he maybe had to do it to survive!!" Nick Cage has a crippling dinosaur bone addiction and somehow managed to stay the picket line soooo. Fuck Amell right there. Not to mention the people losing their homes and what not. He had a choice and he made it, scab right there. But I'll continue because it's kind of fun to rip him to shreds.

To promote his show on social media was to cross the picket line, to do so in this little "haha I'm not promoting it, it just happened to be there!" Bullshit way was a spit in the face of his union leadership and his fellow union members. ESPECIALLY combined with the fact that he promoted it at a convention with his attendance, and clearly in the timeframe of the strike.

You may be saying, "Maybe he's really dumb and thought this was okay!" In regards to his social media posts. Okay sure but at best he thought it was wrong because he purposefully went out of his way to misdirect what he was doing. But hey I'll give you that, maybe he's the most braindead guy ever.

Except for this:

He was fully aware. He was told. He was informed. He continued to make this decision. If he shows on a picket line I highly suspect he will not be welcomed as a studio exec would not be welcomed. I hope they fully rescind his union leadership. The replies to the tweet are him defending his actions, to which the other replies with the gif in which he becomes big cry baby Jane about.

This is also COMPLETELY ignoring the Jordan Peterson retweet where he is happily saying he must be offensive to "think" which is just.... Well a defense for the braindead thing I'll give you that. But the main message here is this:

Stephen Amell is 100% unmistakably and unapologetically a scab, and this is not just BS propaganda. May his union membership be revoked with prejudice.

I'm also not sure who he's trying to fool

"I don't support striking" is a VASTLY different statement from "I don't like striking", you don't just say one and mean the other

If he back paddles any harder he'll launch himself up a waterfall

You probably thought today was a normal Thursday. Nooooope. Big Papa Huge Time actually.

(mostly) based on a true story

correct. no further comment.

i took out about 18k of loans for an illustration degree at a time where i thought i could pay that off in five or ten years-- that i could make money as an artist, pay my rent, pay my bills, pay a couple hundred a month and whittle it down. if i got a job illustrating for a magazine or publisher, just a few of those jobs might clear by debt. lots of places had in-house illustrators then: lots of magazines, interior designers, videogame startups, magazines, even websites. it was possible. i was promised if i worked hard to add college skills to my native talent, it was guaranteed.

i never made it. the economy crashed halfway through my degree. it never recovered. studios fired artists by the thousands and hired them on as freelancers. the housing market crashed and bounced and mutated. rent was insane. the minim wage didn't twitch. but the interest on those unpayable loans went up, and up, and up.

ive paid a couple thousand back, bit by bit. but now i owe 42,000 dollars. there's no reason for it. my lenders just made those numbers up and no one stopped them. i borrowed 18 and payed back maybe 5. no one is losing 42,000 dollars if biden clears that debt tomorrow. my debt's already been sold a few times anyway. that means even the original lender shrugged off the loss.

so yeah, i want the government to bail me out. they bailed out all the banks that fucked the economy before i ever grew up. they bailed out all the corporations who starved their workers of fair pay and steady careers for decade after hungry decade. they sure as fuck bailed out every landlord who gouged 90% of my paycheck out plus my security deposit plus pet rent for the privilege of a shitty little box with plastic carpets and leaking roofs.

all these great big men who have unrepentantly fucked up the economy bigtime has gotten to laugh it off and then chug down a firehose of taxpayer funded absolution. i want the 12,000 that my original lender already traded away, that i paid for a broken dream, to be so easily dismissed. i deserve that. we all do.
