Somebody please archive these in case YouTube takes them down

Don't worry, someone on Reddit has downloaded them all and will upload them to the Internet Archive later

The uploader apparently has a lot more of these, and is taking requests for more in the comments, so if anyone has anyone they want to see shoot 'em a line

kimiko glenn posted her residuals from orange is the new black (she played brooke soso!) on tiktok and it’s disturbing to actually have a visual of how little she makes for one of the first defining shows of the streaming era

she also went on to say that many of the people on the show had to work second jobs, and added further perspective by adding that they couldn’t go out in public because they were famous but still making very little.

Our Japanese class found it funny that in common terminology "food" isn't very distinguished from specifically "rice" until it was pointed out to us that in English "meal" is "loose roughly ground grain"

humans be like staple crop

staple crop to what

directly to forehead

This is just a reminder to everyone out there who gets annoyed by safety laws. They exist for a reason, and if you don't want to follow them at least make sure to have the decency to only hurt yourself.

can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike

i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster's demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there's a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.

im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board... like A Lot of shit is about to go down

we're about to see a lot more propaganda by more than just hollywood, we're about to see a lot of bullshit political moves on local, state, and federal levels. dont fall for it. workers have power.

There are already news articles saying that striking UPS workers will kill people by refusing to deliver medical supplies and other vital necessities.

That is propaganda.

Striking workers are not withholding medical supplies, UPS is holding medical supplies and other necessities hostage because they don’t want to pay their employees a living wage.

good. FedEx and USPS should strike too

“Back in ‘98, Tommy Harrington caught a fairy on his trapline and got to have a wish. So Tommy wished for a new Dodge Ram 1500, and that truck was the queen of every mud bog in the county for the next five years.

“Course, by that time folks found out that the truck was alive. We reckon it was really a fey spirit or boggle ensorcelled into a vehicular shape. We didn’t mind it much at first, but then Patty Armstrong got her truck stolen and switched with a changeling.

“So if you go driving on the backroads sometime tonight and see a ‘98 Dodge Ram driving without an owner, that’s Tommy’s truck, and that’s why we hang horseshoes on the rearview. It’s looking for a truck to take back to the faerie, ‘cause Titania saw the fun we were having and she wants in.”

Kelpies still take on the shape of horses when it suits them, but these days you can often see a shiny new pickup that’s just on the edge of a lake or pond., about to fall in. “What a shame they parked it there,” you’ll think, and it’s such a nice truck. Maybe you can rescue it! And the owner surely won’t mind if you drive it just a little, you’ll put it back in a safer place! And the keys are in the ignition, and the engine sounds happy to see you. And the doors lock, and the shining creature drags you into the water and doesn’t come out until it needs to spit out your bones.

Coming soon to Changeling: the Lost.
