during the wga/sag-aftra strike, we may see:

  • film in other countries continuing as usual, but those actors/writers are NOT crossing picket lines! other countries unions often have rules where they can’t strike in solidarity with american unions.
  • new indie movies separate from hollywood studios. indie movies can continue as usual too, and may even use union actors if they follow certain guidelines and/or get permission from the union.
  • awards shows, although they might look different and may be postponed. if there are award shows during the strike, there’s a chance they will just be live conferences announcing winners with no celebrations attached.
  • celebrities will not be promoting their work during this time— that WOULD be crossing the picket line! yes, this includes social media. they can still post on social media, as long as it doesn’t pertain to their work.
  • a lot more reality tv. this happened the last time there was a writers strike, and it will certainly happen again.
  • actors will also not be able to campaign for awards. this awards season is going to be a strange one.
  • propaganda from hollywood. they are already trying to flip the narrative by claiming they can break the unions, but they can’t. the strikers have the power. stand with them for however long this takes!

Yet another poll on the subject of name errors — because all things come in threes and mostly because the notes on the other polls are very intriguing. I imagine multiple answers will be true for many of us (goodness knows they are for me), but try to choose whatever feels like the most common/prevalent reason!

Reblog, if you like, for a larger sample size to continue forcing me to wade through too many fascinating name-related notifications. But also for sample size. :-)

begging people to realize that "androgynous" is not code for "somewhere on the soft butch to elven twink continuum"

androgyny can & does mean big tits and huge beards and thick dark body hair and cock bulge and fat rolls and dark skin btw and i am soooo sick and tired of people talking about "androgyny" when they only mean a specific form of androgyny that prioritizes the least amount of visible sex characteristics possible alongside "ethereal" whiteness and thinness stop defining androgyny by lack im gonna go insane

Hey, hot take, but if a company decides they no longer want to distribute a piece of media they own the rights to, then they should be legally required to sign the rights back over to the creator.

They shouldn't be allowed to just sit on the IP for the rest of time, especially if they have no intention of ever releasing it again.

the ancient and noble art of Hating must remain distinct from the dogmatism of the moral crusade. hating has no greater goal. it is not about engineering change or imposing one's will upon others. to hate is a complete act in and of itself
