be pro-aging but wear sun screen. sun protection is not beauty industry propaganda it will save you. wear it. or else.
so SAG-AFTRA finally released some official guidance for fans, viewers, creators/influencers, critics, and more during the strike. here's what you need to know:
- if you see a publication/news source/journalist talking about a piece of struck work, that's ok. they're allowed to do that.
2. they're asking regular viewers and fans to DONATE TO STRIKE FUNDS, SHOW UP TO PICKETS IF YOU CAN, and please do NOT boycott streaming services or movies in theaters.
3. influencers, content creators, cosplayers, and anything in between is still a bit of a grey area, but they're asking people to use their best judgement. "organically" means UNPAID promo (like an invite to a premiere without being paid, being sent a publicity box, letting the company's social media post a photo of you in cosplay, etc).
obviously this doesn't answer every question, and isn't hard and fast rules for fanworks, but it can at least inform how you personally choose to move forward when posting online and moving publically. i hope this helps!
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
I do not respect the grind. Go to bed
amptp’s bluffing by the way
A rebuttal to the Deadline article.
"the time will pass anyways" has truly rocked me to my core since reading it and changed my life.

i fucking hate everything.
a major reason why we need piracy sites. now that physical media comes secondary to digital streaming, piracy really is the only way to keep movies/shows like this from disappearing entirely
girls will have one (1) good day when they convince themselves they've never been unwell in their life and the next day the horrors will return

This is even funnier with context attached
Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.
The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.
EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.
And even machines need to rest all the time. Even unfeeling blobs of steel need maintenance, upkeep, and care. They need to be turned of every now and then to cool down.
Rest is sacred
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
NEW TUMBLR HOLIDAY
if i see any of u putting pro crab day stuff on my dash im not giving u a second chance before softblocking u. if tumblr will not take care of its userbase, it will negatively impact them. basic cause and effect.
giving them money is not going to get them to use it to improve the site its going to make them go "yoo we can get money even if we ignore them!"
u would not give a dog treats for ripping up the couch in the hopes that itll stop ripping up the couch. so dont give tumblr treats for ripping up the couch. they are going to keep ripping it. ur just showing them their userbase is going to give them money regardless of whatever the fuck they do
Ok, what do you suggest as an alternative?
i dont need to have a solution to know crab day is stupid and useless. this is not our problem to solve, it is tumblrs. users should not have to give them pity money just for them to stop adding features that loyal users vocally hate
theyre not even in debt anyways, its a deficit. they are NOT 30 mil in debt, they just spend 30 mil more than they usually make. they are not broke and scrounging around for money and they do not need us to start groveling with our pocket change just so theyll take their users feedback seriously
also, review bombing the app has repeatedly been brought up as a viable method to get them to listen to us. review bomb it! they are still sitting pretty at 4.1 stars on the app store, if we want them to listen to us we need to hit them where it hurts: their pockets
It’s never been more lonely or isolating to be a young person than these last 5 years. Meeting actual people you can connect with takes a lot of energy and time so at the end of the day it’s the vulnerable people that are being left behind
And sometimes I lay awake and think ‘’What if I will forever be this lonely little thing? What if I die like this?’’ so im putting effort into preventing that. But I know not everyone is able to do that. I guess what im trying to say is that I suspect there are a lot of lonely people and these numbers will only increase. So if you’re lonely rn I just wanna say that you’re not alone in this. It’s just really hard
This is a really good thread.
