I pointed this out in a Discord server I'm in and thought Id share here:

Bob Iger announced that Disney is going to absorb Hulu, and Hulu will no longer exist next year. All shows will move to the Disney+ app.

Disney also announced they were going to remove shows and movies periodically from their streaming services.

I believe both of these moves are because of the Writers Strike.

Disney knows its going to lose the strike. There is too much public support. Specifically, the WGA is going to win writers getting more residuals from streaming.

So if Disney takes shows off of streaming, they dont have to pay the writers the residuals.

They are going to use excuses like "not enough funding for the server capacity" or "not enough views to warrent keeping the show". These are BULLSHIT. Its all greed. Its only GREED.

Pay attention to what happens in the following weeks.

And keep supporting the writers' strike.

This is similar to what happened with HBO - new owners merged two streaming services, and all of a sudden there wasn't enough server capacity for all the shows somehow. A total lie.

Cancel at three seasons so no one gets a raise, remove at 3 years for tax purposes. No DVDs. No physical copies anywhere. No syndication. Just gone.

A perfect example of what we can do is organise and fight and a revolution because what gets wrapped in plastic is decided by vague corporate monopolies and without political power nobody will change it because it affects their profits.

The world isn't sleep walking into oblivion. It is being drugged and then dragged by capitalism into oblivion.

saw a post the other day that said that psych survivors were overexaggerating and fearmongering for saying that people should be aware that having diagnoses on your record can be a danger + impede your life. and the more i think about it the more annoyed i am. because i think people need to know that there are exceptions to health privacy laws that can make having psych diagnoses and psych hospitalization history on your record risky depending on your circumstances. diagnoses follow you through your health interactions-you do not have to consent to have your information shared between providers. judicial proceedings are also an exception to the HIPAA privacy rule, so for things like custody battles, guardianship, getting orders of protection--the court can petition for medical records. there's so many other situations where even if they can't legally access your information without your authorization, people will require you to disclose diagnoses, records, previous hospitalizations and refuse to give you services/hire you/whatever unless you share that information with them. for example in many states anyone (a provider, a cop, friends and family) can disclose that you have certain psych diagnoses like bipolar to the DMV which then might require that you undergo drivers license review as frequently as every 3 months. my university is actively trying to kick me out right now because i had to disclose my medical record, psych diagnoses, and hospitalization history to them as a requirement to stay enrolled.

and i don't want to scare people or make people think that having a diagnosis on their records is automatically going to mean that it is weaponized against us. because i do know plenty of people who have never faced issues with their records. but i do expect that the community supports the people speaking out about the ways that we have been harmed by diagnoses creating barriers to accessing necessary parts of our life. instead of attacking us or saying that we're lying about things we are currently experiencing.

ok @seluvian 's tags reminded me of how many black children are labeled with 'oppositional defiance' or 'conduct disorders' for behaviors that their white peers are more likely to have diagnosed as adhd or autism or ptsd, which then fast tracks them into the school-to-prison pipeline as every teacher + para sees that they've been diagnosed with what is essentially Unruly Child Disorder. then this interacts with the social prejudice which paints black teens as being inherently threatening or unruly to begin with-- these combine to become a self fulfilling cycle in which the diagnosis causes trauma by labeling a child as Pathologically Criminal, which spurns 'acting out' behaviors which are then explained away as a result of the diagnosis itself.

most of the ppl i see defending the idea of diagnosis as a unilateral good are white ppl. they fail to grasp that a white child diagnosed with autism who received extra social skills support + speech therapy at their well funded elementary school may have their life enriched by diagnosis, while a black child diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder who was subjected to additional policing, poorer educational outcomes, + emotional abuse has their life destroyed by diagnosis.
