Stumped

A mockumentary set in the Twin Peaks universe about the log, past and present. No actors appear, it's just static shots of trees, forests, a log in a chair, and a static shot of a crackling fire.

Most or all of y'all's questions about the WGA strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike could be answered by reading the FAQs on the WGA's strike website and the SAG-AFTRA strike website

….idk sometimes I wanna travel back in time to 2013 and grab myself and shake her like: in just ten years, after the plague has wreacked havoc, the Bad Guys ™ will try to use developments in artificial intelligence to threaten the world’s creatives into economic submission

Per Deadline and Vanity Fair:

Studio execs making millions publicly admit to their plan to simply wait out the writers’ strike.

I don't know what surprises me the most the fact that such a thing as Tree Law exists (we love it, protect the trees) or that apparently everyone on tumblr already knew about it

Take On Memes

An animator is drawn into their creation, and has to navigate through a world of memes, all drawn in the style of a-ha's "Take on Me" music video, except it's faux-rotoscoping since there are no actors, and the whole thing is a silent film.

You know everything going on with both Writers and Actors going on strike as they so rightfully should and really gives fucking Hollywood something to think about how they terribly treat the people that make this industry what it is.

I'm seriously waiting so hard for Animators and VFX artists and CGI animators / artists within the animation industry to start going on strike as well soon. Because Animators for far too long has been getting a raw deal, but especially with everything going on nowadays with these streaming services that can just obliterate an animated show or movie that you been working on for years or passionately made that can just so easily be turned into lose media like nothing, or have said animated work be removed from the platform entirely with no chance of it being seen ever again or even release as a DVD. Or how lately these Entertainment companies are either overworking or poorly underpaying their Animators and VFX artists very little and just not giving a fuck about them at all.

I'm so ready for Animators and everyone else in the animation industry to just walk out of a studio in-mid production or something because this shit has gotten to be way too much and sad.

This is why I think that the WGA tentative agreement is actually a big victory.

The studios are already counting their loses and trying to undermining through lobbying.

How will actors make a living now since they can't star in any film or television show and participate in press tour events (red carpet, interviews, talk show hosts, etc.) which I'm sure they get paid tons for??

As long as the production company is not affiliated with SAG-AFTRA, then there's always indie films and short films. Here's some other ways to make money that have nothing to do with acting at all:

Paid partnerships through Instagram

A part-time or full-time job in retail clothing

A part-time or full-time job at a restaurants

A part-time or full-time job at a fast food company

DoorDash

Uber Eats

No, I am not joking. There's no telling how long these strikes will last, and they'll need to make money somehow, especially for those who live in or near Los Angeles!

(This is irrelevant, but I think investing in an undergraduate degree at a community college if not university would be a great idea, so that way the actor will have a backup plan. And who knows? Maybe they’ll discover some hidden passions or talents!)

Fuck you, Hollywood, crying into your champagne over losing money and blaming US for it. Pay us what we're worth, or fuck right off without ANY entertainment under your yoke. Oh, and also full healthcare coverage. Writers and actors shouldn't have to decide whether we get food, or pay rent. That's a crime committed against the source of all entertainment, #Writers. And you're shitting on your #Actors, too.
