I really genuinely like this site and it's original layout and premise. I like custom themes. I like mobile themes. I like how posting works. I like how tag search works. I like sending and receiving asks. I like how you can make your blog whatever the hell you want. I like this fucking platform and for some reason staff is vigorously sawing their limbs off like they have to but they're in the middle of a grocery store and everyone there is going "why the hell are you doing that?" and staff cries "you all want me to"

So did the trailer thingy for Percy Jackson magically solve the writers' strike or something? What did I miss for everyone seemingly forgetting/deciding to ignore that now?

Appreciate the pro-union solidarity, but watching trailers is definitely not strikebreaking! While SAG-AFTRA (the actors' union) does have a no-promo rule for its members during the strike, the no-promo rule does NOT apply the same way to fans (or, to make things a tad more confusing, the WGA/writers guild, who are free to talk about their work as long as it's not at the studios' request.)

The best way to support the unions right now is to boost their message on social media, correct misinformation, and donate to strike funds such as the Entertainment Community Fund and the Green Envelope Grocery Aid fund. Until such time as the unions actually ask for a boycott, we are not boycotting.

Xu Bing: 'Tiger-Skin Carpet' (2011)

made of thousands of cigarettes, is a massive display of desire, seduction, and danger - ideas that have been associated with tobacco and also predominant in the human history. The title "Honor and Splendor" #1 # not only hints on the brand of the cigarettes, E ("Wealth"), but also alludes to what tiger-skin carpet symbolizes: luxury and status.

there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward

its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from "they're literally just standing next to each other" to "deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!" to "yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward." we're all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this
