Once again, I hope SAG strikes too

We could lose acting, filmmaking, television as we know it.

UPDATE: THEY MIGHT!

Update: They've voted to authorize a strike!

(I debated adding this to the original post or not, since it's mostly being reblogged by people reblogging from someone that isn't me. But @animeengineer was kind enough to grab the link below, so I'm putting it in the original post)

I saw a tweet somewhere that said (and I'm so sorry I don't have the link to it or remember who wrote it):

I think 47+% of SAG members voted, and nearly 98% of the ones who voted, voted yes.

In comparison, I think the last time they voted in favor of a contract, around 25% of SAG members responded, and of those that did, about 75% voted yes.

Another Update: They're doing it! SAG-AFTRA is joining the WGA on the picket lines, and not just in solidarity!

This isn't the Official from SAG-AFTRA, but they are voting this morning and if they don't strike, that goes against what all the members and the board and such have authorized.

SAG-AFTRA is officially going on strike.

This is the first time both the actors & writers are on strike in over 60 years. /End ID]

Game on, AMPTP. Game. On.

Justine Bateman on the Actor's Strike and AI

Completely relevant to all of Justine's points, Tom Hanks has issued warning about an AI version of him promoting a dental plan without his consent. His image is being used against his consent. This is unacceptable.

James Dean's image is being used in a new film, which I find horrific

Disney is using Robin William's voice through AI for a new film, which his daughter Zelda has explicitly asked them not to.

This is absolutely grotesque and must be stopped.

Seriously excited to see our picket line chants performed by talented professionals who know how to project from the diaphragm. #wgastrong #SAGAFTRAstrong /End ID]

People think writers and actors are soft. And we ARE attention-seeking validation magnets. But pursuing a career in the arts is also brave, foolhardy, and kinda batshit. We have all withstood incredible pain to get here, and we can take much more. #SAGAFTRA #WGA #Solidarity

The much-anticipated WGA/SAG-AFTRA crossover has begun. ✊✊ #WGAStrong #SAGAFTRAstrong #DUNDUN

With a picture of him holding a sign that says in full:

In the studio entertainment system, viewers are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Writers Guild of America, who create entire worlds, and the Screen Actors Guild who bring them to life. These are their stories. DUN DUN. /End ID]

Granted, there's also everyone in production, the set designers, the costume designers, the hair and make up people, lighting, sound engineers, etc. But I get his point. Anywho, the image of him in full:

I'll try to ID this one:

Travis Helwig (@travishelwig):

Actors are tall

Mike Royce (@/mikeroyce):

a guy whipped his shirt off at like 9:01 this morning, we're in a different reality now

Jackie (Decembly) Penn (a strike captain) (@JackiePenn18):

We had like 5 actors do that this morning. We were not ready for it 😂.

This is what you get when you give over 100k actors a call time.

Week 11, Day 74. The troops have arrived & gotdam did they arrive! Lovely to see so many familiar faces, all United fighting for a fair deal. The energy was off the roof at WB. I can imagine it was the same at every lot. We will win. #SAGAFTRAstrike #WGAStrike #DoTheWriteThing

After that are four pictures for their day striking.

Also, I just want to say for historical record: today was WGA Strike Captains Day, though idk if that was just at the WB lot or not.

[Image ID: a tweet from actor Christopher Gorham (@ChrisGorham) from July 14th, 2023 that reads:

Day 1. Again. I was there for the beginning of the @wgawest strike so you know we were going to be there for @sagaftra . Enough people at Disney today to wrap around the entire studio’s 1 mile perimeter. Here’s to the unrealistic militant minority! #sagaftrastrong #wgastrong

The post contains four photos from his time striking. /end ID]

Bonus: WGA West showing up for Teamsters on the Amazon Picket line:

[Image ID: a tweet from Liz Alper (@LizApls) on July 14th that reads:

When @Teamsters call, @WGAWest responds.

We joined Teamsters on their picket line at the @/amazon warehouse in Santa Clarita. Amazon drivers deserve fair compensation and safe work conditions (and AC). We'll see you next time, Teamsters. Don't order from Amazon.

Four pictures are included in the tweet from the day showing multiple people holding WGAW signs. /End ID]

Honestly, all this solidarity during all the strikes this summer is bringing a tear to my eye. I love seeing everyone standing up for each other and fighting together. Union Solidarity.is.stronger.than ever, and it's beautiful to see.

Mallory Keaton (Rough Draws)

I really think there needs to be more Family Ties fanart lol

@knickynoo & @mjf-af, I really enjoy reading your FT posts haha. Here's a lil something for you two as well :))

I haven't really draw Mallory in a while either and I decided to whip something up. My brown zebra highlighter started to run on empty and eventually it decided to stop letting out ink lol.

Enjoy folks !
