Tapping the “If art cannot be made without abusing those that make it, I do not want it” sign vigorously once again.

Tapping the "if art cannot be made without abusing those around the people that make it, I do not want it" even more vigorously

on a serious note regarding the wga strike and (as of 1:50 AM PST 7/13) upcoming sag-aftra strike, dsa-la has a fundraiser called The Snacklist which provides snacks and water on the picket lines here in LA. right now the funds they have will not last through the end of the summer, especially given the current and upcoming heatwaves necessitating more supplies. if you have a couple of dollars to spare it's a great way to directly support the writers (and potentially the actors) during this difficult time!

happy first sag-aftra strike in 60 years to all who celebrate.

if you are an enjoyer of media (which i will guess based on your presence on tumblr that you are) please consider donating to the snacklist (linked above) or to any of the following mutual aid funds that directly support striking actors/writers, IATSE and teamster union members who are also out of work and by and large refusing to cross the picket lines, and nonunion PAs and assistants (like yours truly) who are directly impacted by the work stoppage. everyone in this industry works unbelievably hard to bring you the shows, movies, webseries, and variety programs that you enjoy and every worker deserves a fair contract. any support you can give is extremely meaningful.

The Entertainment Community Fund provides emergency financial assistance to anyone in the entertainment industry who is unable to pay their immediate basic living expenses such as housing, food, bills, and healthcare.

The Union Solidarity Coalition has been formed by members of the wga, sag, and the dga to help cover the cost of healthcare for IATSE and teamsters who will not get enough work hours to qualify for their coverage this year due to their refusal to cross a picket line.

The Hollywood Support Staff Relief Fund (also run by the Entertainment Community Fund but separate from the above link which supports all film and tv workers) offers assistance to tv and film support staff and assistants who are not protected by a union and have been displaced from low or entry level positions.

Drive 4 Solidarity is an IATSE organized event in August raising funds for all union and guild members. Tickets are available for those in socal but donations are being taken as well.

Humanitas Groceries for Writers fund provides WGA members with grocery gift cards.

Green Envelope Grocery is a grocery fund for all workers in the entertainment industry regardless of union status.

don’t forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.

please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union and reblog this post!

“M—Mom says, i gots to, i can’t come out and play until i finish my homework. Mom says.”

Creepiest monster thing alive: moves like that

This is so cute omg my heart is going vrooom vroroooooom

fun fact! did you know that you can gain extra ‘forbidden time’ by staying up late in the night? but Watch Out

I know we keep saying "this doesn't change Midnights" but actually over the last month it's been settling in for me that Midnights very much feels like an album written by someone processing the end of a relationship - revisiting old pain, revisiting deep love, reflecting on a lonely future... I don't know. I think this breakup was a very slow burn and you can hear that on Midnights.

one thing about taylor is that she will look out into an endless ocean of adoring, screaming fans in complete awe and wonder as if she’s never laid eyes on anything as beautiful in her entire life

taylor swift is actually for the girls who were known but never popular, fit in with many friend groups but never in the group chats, talked to at school but never invited to the parties, for the girls who have friends but still feel lonely because they were never their best friends favorites

the only real good ship dynamic: tragic hero x person with genre awareness

oh to walk blindly into ruin and have someone who would follow, even with their eyes open, because they cannot bear to let go of your hand

So funny story, the parts of the week I don't spend assisting with the littles I spend working in the library. I once had a fifth grader ask me for a really scary book, not kiddie scary.

I said I knew just the thing and pulled out the same copy of the book as shown above. She looked at the cover, took a step back (I kid you not).

Her friend, on the other hand, snatched it u and immediately checked it out.

the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys

this reply evokes such an incredible image in the mind’s eye

The Worst Attraction in Every State

Oh Big Blue Bug that’s interesting I wonder what that looks like—

Jesus H. Christ

get in everyone we’re going on a roadtrip

A lot of these are fine people just want to hate things that are popular. Or it’s a comment on how awful the tourists are but tourists are the same everywhere.

Like how is the Grand Canyon on this list?

The one I can confirm is, in fact horrible, is the gum wall in Seattle.

Yes, that is all chewed gum stuck to the walls of the alleyway. 🤢

Okay, but why is Williamsburg up for Virginia? Do they mean Colonial Williamsburg, or the whole actual town? Because the whole actual town includes Busch Gardens and I am rather fond of that.

I found out that Diners were originally inspired by train Dining Cars. some of the oldest ones were actually just old dining cars they put on the street

YOUTUBE???!!???

I mean, I guess I believe it could happen? Christ.

(And I feel so ancient.)

(chuckle) 1973.

Bound paper Trek fanfics from underneath a dealer's table at (I think) Lunacon.

(pausing to check the date) Yeah, it was '73: Harlan was the GoH that year. :)

I choose to incorporate this into my worldview.

Adam Sandler, magnificent bastard, was not a sentence I ever expected to say but here we are.

Man's got talent

Huh.

Everyone who works with him talks about what a mensch he is, so, like... that scans.
