#SUPPORT THE FUCKING STRIKE

[thatrandomblogsays]

I’m so happy for them

[Image Description: Castiel from Supernatural is saying I love you, underneath is an image of Dean Winchester with the caption: “After four months of striking the WGA has a reached a tentative agreement & finalizing the contract. If all goes well writers will get to return to work with better pay and protections. They did it. Go unions”]

yeah my post was definitely about already seeing people whining about the plane tickets and con tickets they bought and bitching to SAG about it instead of where it belongs.

direct that fury at AMPTP. direct it at the executives.

in the meantime, support the WGA and SAG strike, don't cross a god damned picket line and if you can, help out financially (Entertainment Community Fund).

both the WGA and SAG have detailed information on their websites and official social media about what is and isn't allowed.

if i see a single one of you pissed that your faves canceled an event or a con appearance because they're striking for fair wages then imma come for you in your sleep 🔪🔪🔪

[bisexualgoth]

all workers' strikes are good. yes even if they're inconvenient. even if they're making your life harder. even if you don't get to watch your favourite tv show. workers fighting for their rights is ALWAYS a good thing

"The Billionaire Corporate Overlords don't want their underpaid starving workers they want to replace with AI to be outside demanding fair compensation so they Pruned The Trees they use for Shade so it's Unbearably Hot For Them To Be Out Picketing" is not something I expected to read but it honestly should have been

“ordinary russians are not guilty of anything and shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of their authorities”

meanwhile:

ordinary russians voluntarily join the russian army to kill Ukrainians and Syrians

ordinary russians organize safari hunting and killing Ukrainian civilians with drones

ordinary russians torture and execute Ukrainian and Syrian civilians and soldiers, filming it on camera

ordinary russians come to the destroyed occupied territories and arrange "fancy and mysterious" photoshoots like it's some kind of disneyland

ordinary russians go abroad to willingly glorify russia at pro-russian rallies

ordinary russians persecute and kill Ukrainians abroad

ordinary russians export stolen Ukrainian clothes, household appliances and cars to russia

ordinary russians buy all these stuff knowing perfectly well and seeing from the labels that these things were stolen from the houses and shops of murdered Ukrainians

ordinary russians donate to support the russian army

ordinary russians make shells and drones at factories in three shifts

ordinary russians sew equipment

ordinary russian activists weave camouflage nets, make trench candles and collect donations for the russian army

ordinary russian truck drivers bring all this to the frontlines

ordinary russians make software for missiles

ordinary russian tourists go on vacation to the russian-occupied Crimea

ordinary russians sell and buy apartments in occupied territories whose residents were killed

ordinary russians write happy comments after shelling Ukrainian homes markets hospitals and schools

ordinary russian doctors go to the frontlines to save russian soldiers

ordinary russian metallurgists work three shifts at blast furnaces to melt steel

ordinary russian celebrities shoot pro-russian films, write pro-russian songs and call to join the russian army

ordinary russians organize mass protests in russia against the closing of McDonald's, but not against the war

ordinary russian children draw pictures of russian soldiers brutally killing Ukrainians

ordinary russian artists in russia and abroad create pro-russian art glorifying russia and the russian army

ordinary russians create videogames that promote russian brutality and the army

ordinary russian teachers teach children to hate other nations

ordinary russian trainers prepare children for warfare and murder

ordinary russians ignore russian crimes on the territory of Ukraine and Syria as they ignored crimes on the territory of Georgia. because they believe it has nothing to do with them and it shouldn't affect their comfortable lifestyle.

should i go on?

Putin is not the cause of russian brutality, terrorism and bloodthirstiness. Putin is a consequence.

before Putin, there were other presidents, other tsars and other authorities in russia. only one thing has not changed — russian imperialism and chauvinism.

don't be silent and please continue to support Ukraine! don't let your politicians betray Ukraine, Ukraine needs help to defeat russia!

Follow up to my "israel called a nuclear bomb to strike gaza" post...

Remember the ant-walking alligator people?

If Isreal strikes Gaza, Palestine with a nuclear bomb, then history will repeat itself.

We cannot let humans become ant walking alligators again.

We can not let Israel nuke Palistine.

Fuck Minister Netanyahu, fuck Isreal and fuck everyone supporting Isreal.

[tuttle-did-it]

Yay the WGA strike has reached a peaceful agreement. Please continue to support the SAG-AFTRA strikes, especially now that the Video Game Actors have just voted to strike.

Good luck to all who are striking in any profession, anywhere.

(And a fuck you to Thatcher who made striking in the UK so difficult.)

[acid-smoke]

I am suddenly okay-ish with living in historic times

[apollos-olives]

unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary for you to go out to do your work or school, then participate in the strike. i get it, life happens. sometimes you can't skip stuff. hell, even i can't skip everything tomorrow, but that doesn't mean you can't do your part. do what is absolutely necessary for you and your life, and then join the strike for us. join a protest, don't go out to eat, post more awareness on social media, do whatever you can. if you can't do one thing then find something else to do. there are countless ways you can help. do not feel guilty that you have to take care of your life, but try to give as much of your time and dedication to supporting the palestinian cause. good night and free palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸

You know, when this whole AI art, deepfakes and other shit began, I was scared that the responsibility of convincing people that it can and will be used unethically would fall on the shoulders of small artists who would not be taken seriously. I expected change in the art world to be a slow, creeping transition into inevitable demise.

What I did not expect was hollywood studio execs doing that job for us by being so cartoonishly evil, impatient and releasing statements like "We're gonna starve you until you agree to work with us lol" and "We're gonna take your likeness and use it forever. You will be paid with jack and shit."

I also did not expect AI bros doing the same job for us by harassing a voice actor off of twitter.

[lord-of-the-ducks]

Not sure if anyone else has already shared this, but it feels important to circulate, especially with the strikes and the upcoming season

Edit: wanted to clarify that people should read the full article. The title is a bit misleading, but it’s still a shitty situation, and other actors from the show also describe their experiences

[horrorshow]

why do i KEEP seeing those ugly AI kissing gifs. ‘im usually against AI, but…’ NO!!!!! i don’t wanna hear or see it. just close your eyes and imagine it really hard the way that it’s actually good. grow a goddamn spine.

TODAY IS A GLOBAL STRIKE FOR PALESTINE.

DON'T POST ANYTHING THAT ISN'T RELATED TO PALESTINE.

DON'T BUY ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO, AND DON'T GO TO SCHOOL/WORK IF YOU CAN AVOID IT.

FREE PALESTINE.

There's LITERALLY no excuse to continue using technology that has ruined people's careers and livelihoods just to make a bloody painting.
