ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.

AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]

This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.

"You don't have to keep saying 'Animation is Cinema'"

Well, considering that on one hand we have people saying, with their whole chest, that both Spiderverse movies would have been 'better if they were live-action'

And on the other ther hand, we have Pixar laying off 75 people, including the woman who singledhandledly saved Toy Story 2 from deletion...

I think we do!

Just to fully elaborate, here's what's in the indictment

38 Counts

It should also be recognised that Lucille Ball helped advance the medium of television as a whole by, more or less, inventing the idea of reruns. This was, in large part, what drove the success of non-serialised shows such as Star Trek, but also paved the way for extremely popular television genres like the sitcom

PSA for Across the Spiderverse:

Do NOT see the new Spiderverse movie if you have any form of epileptic condition or conditions affected by bright lights and rapidly changing colors.

I will not be spoiling the plot or anything happening in it, but it is important that people know, because ohhh my god the AMOUNT of flashing lights and rapidly changing colors from beginning to end was so rampant that even I, a non-epileptic autistic person, got a severe headache and wild overstimulation. They do not give a warning in theaters at all that this movie is NOT epileptic friendly from the literal beginning with the beginning credits - which is so, so sad!

This is a beautifully made film, it's wonderful, it's amazing, but unfortunately, it's not a good time for anyone super affected by bright flashing lights in rapid succession, especially those seizure prone.

I wanted to put this out there BECAUSE there are no theater warnings. Idk if anyone else has put it out there, but it is SUPER IMPORTANT!!!

I wish you all a lovely day and hope they eventually have a remaster that will be much more friendly to epileptic and other people affected by bright, flashing lights.

"well women are good and men are bad but trans people are oppressed so we've made you an honorary member of the good guys" you idiot. you fucking dolt.

All these articles like “Why the writers strike needs to happen” “Why the writers strike is important” “why you should support the writer’s strike”

My brother in capitalism you had me at strike

i said what i said

Toothpaste. It’s just frozen toothpaste.

Just assuming old people will be a small percentage. I will redo if I am wrong.

Just assuming old people will be a small percentage.

Oh my sweet summer child

The poll feature really took off because it taps into tumblr's favorite activity: being extremely opinionated about things that don't matter

“Only rich kids played with Barbie” is just an absolute insane take. Literally every family had at least one Barbie at some point. Like ok if you had like walls lined with tons of different Barbies you were probably rich but I cannot stress enough that turning “playing with Barbie” into a bourgeoisie thing is just ahistorical to the point that stupidity is the only explanation

I'm in Santa Fe so of course I went down to the picket line outside a local studio. George RR Martin was there too, and I got to see Paris, George's better half, as well. So was incredible author Nnedi Okorafor who had driven in from Arizona to be on the picket line.

George RR Martin is such a good supporter he's been on strike from writing his books for years.

Until the strike is over, anybody making this joke has to donate to the Entertainment Community Fund. I'm sorry. I don't make the rules.

My boyfriend made this joke yesterday. Today I saw this post and texted him a screenshot of it with the comment, "Neil Gaiman says your joke is bad and you should feel bad."

He texted back, "He said no such thing. He simply informed us of the rules." And then send a pic of his donation confirmation.

I had dinner with George tonight and informed him of the low-hanging joke and the rule. Your boyfriend is spot on.

Production houses: but if the writers stay on strike we can't guarantee the future safety of your favorite shows 🥺🥺😭😭

Viewers who 1, have already lost their favorite shows because they were cancelled in spite of good ratings and good reviews or 2, have stopped watching new content entirely until the entire series has aired and concluded as a result of so many good shows getting cancelled on cliffhangers and thus leaving said viewers unable to gain closure with those characters and with a hollow viewing experience, so they've begun a, watching older shows they know came to a planned conclusion or b, revisiting their old favorites and enjoying the nostalgia or c, reading new books or fanfic instead: YOU ALREADY CAN'T GUARANTEE THE FUTURE OF OUR SHOWS SO GET FUCKING WRECKED AND PAY WRITERS WHAT THEY DESERVE!

Part of what the WGA is asking for is residuals prior to season 3. Netflix especially keeps canceling shows before they hit season 3 because they want to avoid paying residuals.

The WGA strike, if successful, will guarantee the future of shows. It will fix the problem. Production houses, if left to their own devices, won’t.

The history of corporate propaganda.

I vividly remember attending a training session with a scan from an 1880-something newspaper that said "unions used to be something we needed, but we're past that now." The corporate propaganda hasn't changed in 130+ years.
