"It's gotten to the point where I think a lot of people can't believe it if they get a residual for $25," O'Brien said. "They're so used to opening those envelopes and it's 30 cents."

O'Brien, who has appeared on dozens of shows, from "Grey's Anatomy" to "Pretty Little Liars," shared images of residual checks from more than two decades ago worth $47.49, $87.77 and $216.25. Others, from the past few years, amounted to $1.63, 43 cents and 1 cent.

Really important info for anyone thinking this is a “rich people strike”

its funny that mads mikkelsen is typecast as a villain by hollywood bc he has a foreign accent bc if that man had an american accent he would be a thousand times scarier. can you imagine

my blood just ran cold

Every time a gringo looks at something from my country and goes "lol yeah sure. source? trust me bro" because they can't fathom that Things Happen outside of the US I want to commit a little turmoil.

Tuíre Kayapó Mẽbêngôkre is a Kayapó leader and warrior, as well as an indigenous rights and environmental activist. Tuíre became famous when at 19 years old, during the 1st Encounter of the Indigenous Peoples of the Xingu, in 1989, she threatened the director of Eletronorte, José Antônio Muniz, with her machete, in response to the plans to install a hydroelectric dam on the Xingu River.

Like. This was a widely covered event, not just in Brazil, but internationally. There are photos. Recordings. Books. Magazines. If your reaction to seeing an extremely famous event from a foreign country is going "lol okay. That didn't happen." and then doubling down when people tell you to just look it up because "not everything on google is true" then. Idk. Fuck you?

I'm just gonna come out and say the controversial thing that's been weighing on me for months now.

I am visibly Trans and I experience transphobia on a regular basis. I have never once been misgendered or made to feel uncomfortable by a member of my Jewish community.

I am visibly Jewish and I experience anti-Judaism on a regular basis. I am consistently devalued, shunned, and othered by Queer people in Queer spaces and Queer communities because of my Jewish identity.

LGBTQIA+ people need to do better to accommodate religious minorities. Anti-Jewish sentiment due to Queer-based religious trauma isn't any better, kinder, or more moral than anti-Jewish sentiment due to white supremacy.

@unbidden-yidden There it is! Couldn’t have said it better myself

[ID: tumblr tags that read "some of y'all really need to get it through your heads that while atheism is 100% fine - antitheism is actually a hate group that helps further the goals of white supremacy and xtian colonialism - it's continued tolerance in queer spaces makes them unsafe for queer religious minorities including queer Xtians of color" /END ID]

I honestly do not think “AI will never be as good as human creativity” is a good argument at this point. Like yes, it is true right now, but they’re just going to keep trying to prove it wrong. To me the line is, “Modern AI is built off of PLAGIARISM, UNPAID and UNDERPAID labor.” AI is a labor rights issue, not just for the people who’s labor it would replace, but for the people whose labor was STOLEN for the AI to “create” anything.

All of this. Plus, they aren't TRYING to be as good as human creativity. They're trying to be FASTER than human creativity. One of the tech bros working on AI came right out and said that AIs will never write better than people. What it CAN do is write FASTER. And eventually, real writers will get drowned in the flood and be almost impossible to find. THAT is their goal. Not to replace us, but simply to ERRADICATE us. And they're using our own stolen words to do it. They are trying to kill the very CONCEPT of creativity.

okay LAST ONE bc ive been eternally changed by this.

Last,,,, last day,,,, last day of tour,,,,, oughghfhfhfhfhfhfh waaaa waaaaa awaaaaaaaaaa

Thank you for commenting because I was going to scroll past this. 

ppl are so annoying “you can’t paint ur bedroom pink you’re an adult” i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige

I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to “think about the future”

Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.

when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as “14 year old girl purple” (through what’s wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I don’t know, even if they’re not what I want as an adult). They didn’t believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a “dark purple”, it would be “depressing”. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

And the moral of the story is: Fuck ‘em, please yourself. Either they’ll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.

This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be “mature” about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that I’m 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, I’m just like “marriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.” If they don’t like it then they don’t have to come to my wedding.

I would like you all to view my office. I’m thirty and my rainbow room is awesome, people can fight me

I’m thirty and my first big furniture purchase was a custom coffin shaped coffee table that opens up and is lined with purple crushed velvet. I would have loved it at 13 and I love it now. Growing up doesn’t mean you have to abandon what makes you happy.

GROWING UP DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

the infantilization of color and decoration in the home is so bizarre to me- and such a new phenomenon

the world over, our ancestors painted their homes bright or deep or rich colors for centuries. they brought beautiful textiles into their living spaces, and made their utilitarian objects ornamented, or colorful, or shaped like whimsical things. in all cultures, at all class levels and ages, to the best of their ability. and we’re just supposed to throw away centuries of the basic human desire for beauty and visual interest because some asshole decided like 40 years ago that anything beyond a Pop of Color and an IKEA fake plant was “childish?”

fuck that

i would like to add to this wonderful post that this applies to stuffed animals/plushies too!! if you’re an adult/older teen and you still sleep with plushies, good for you!! i have about eight plushies that i sleep with, i’ve been doing it since i was an infant, fuck the press, and enjoy your giant pit of squishmallows.

I would sell my soul to be able to paint any of my rooms. Landlord Beige and Eggshell are the worst colors. To each their own but the fact that some people have the ability to make their house colorful and then don’t for the sake of like modern minimalism is just mindblowing to me

I’m back to working at the paint department in Home Depot while I’m going back to school and yesterday a lady came in and grabbed half a dozen pink swatches and slammed them down on the desk. In a very chipper voice she informed me that her front door was currently a lovely shade of yellow, but her asshole neighbor had just painted his the same color and she refused to have any commonalities between their houses so she was going to repaint hers bright pink. We had great fun choosing the exact shade and she left looking very smug and excited. It was fantastic.

"This is getting ridiculous now. Where did you find this contraption? How did you build it? You're not really rolling them straight :/ I'm not sure I like this at all, I don't like the noise. See what's the point! That didn't break with the contraption, so it doesn't coun- I liked that one. That one was neat and clean. It was a clean break. Don't like the noise - she was with chil- you're BEATING the child! It's just sick. It's twisted - HE was with child. Okay. Something about this is... where are these children coming from? Seems unnecessary that they're all pregnant. Just straight beating that Pepsi and their plastic. I don't like this - it's SADISTIC. This is sadistic. I don't - they're SPRITZING me!" *from other video, a man's voice, vaguely sounding like a moan: oooooooooh. oohhhh* lady: "I'm sorry. What was that?" *last bottle falls* (with disappointment) "No."
