How to support the WGA Strike
Okay so. At our member meeting the other night someone asked if we are going to do a campaign asking people to cancel their subscriptions. Leadership said no -- the problem with a campaign like this is that it could really backfire. If it becomes a big, publicized thing, then the pressure is on to have a huge percentage of cancellations from the general public, which look, realistically, we know we’re not likely to receive, even from people who are sympathetic to us. So an official campaign is not something they’re interested in pursuing, though, of course, any pressure our allies and supporters can put on the companies of their own accord is very welcome.
They also said that out of all of the companies in the AMPTP, Netflix is the fucking worst.
So, with all that said, I’d like to address everyone who has so kindly been messaging me to ask how they can show their support. Here’s a suggestion, not from the WGA in any official capacity but just a thought from your friend and fellow Tumblrina Sam: Cancel your Netflix subscription. When they ask why, tell them it’s because you want them to return to the table and give us a fair deal. Then donate your subscription fee to the Entertainment Community Fund, which is a fund that is available to any worker in the entertainment industry who is negatively impacted by the strike.
#wga#wga strike#writers strike#actual wga member#and if you're in LA or NYC please feel free to join us on the picket lines!!#definitely please honk when you drive by that gives us life#you could also bring by food or drinks or whatever#though in my opinion it should probably be sealed

Spiritual opposite of junji ito wet dog
#every day I have to stop and ask myself if something I’m adding in is too much#should I reel it in?#no I’m having fun <3#I have FINALLY settled on what Evie’s actual role in the military is#she’s a part of this organization of sorcerers and witches trained to be like… the Heroes of their country#they’re incredibly powerful and also incredibly secretive. in order to fully commit themselves to their holy duty their memories are sealed#so they are like killing machines basically#and then there’s Evie. a little tiny woman who walks with a limp#who’s paperwork list her magical aptitude as ‘empath’#and everyone’s like how the fuck did u end up here#except for Crow who’s like oh wow your life sucks. come back to my home and I’ll hand feed you grapes :)

hey man I appreciate you letting me know and I did delete that post and reblogged a version that didn't have that person's comment on it because after looking at that person's blog I wasn't comfortable reblogging from them even tangentially, but as a general psa I am not double checking every single blog on every single post I reblog for questionable content. If I see a name I recognize or it shows up red on shinigami eyes or the post is related to the topic at hand, I'll scope things out, but it isn't reasonable to expect me to do that all the time for every post and for every conceivable topic, nor is it reasonable for me to expect you guys to let me know every time you recognize a blog that, as an example, supports throwing cans of beans at baby seals but made an unrelated comment on a post about cake.
#this kind of thing has its uses#for example ''hey you reblogged a dogwhistle on accident this is what that poster was actually trying to say''#but I'm assuming ''don't throw cans of beans at baby seals'' is the default opinion of someone who posts ''I like buttercream icing''#you know#like don't stress yourself out#blah blah something about moral ocd something about how posting is not activism#not mad at anon just like#putting this out there#this is something i'm trying to get better about myself#like I used to check every blog obsessively and then I realized that's an ocd symptom that I should probably try to redirect or mitigate

#does anyone else kinda die inside when you see a ‘certified fresh’ seal on a movie?#like I actually genuinely think rotten tomatoes ruined film criticism#like a good review is going to be nuanced or should be#I personally have decided to see films because things listed by reviewers as ‘flaws’ are positives for me#I also think it promotes mediocrity#challenging movies are by nature going to be uncomfortable#and reviews should reflect that#no higher praise for a film than it being polarizing imao#not in the book [ooc]

i hate that i get penalized at work for doing too much work
#its technically a software error cause they want us to have so much money on the record#and the dollar amount correlates directly with the frames on my list that i need to make#so dollar goes down for every frame i put together#this incentivizes getting sales so you are trapped in the cycle of capitalism#generally speaking i think framing costs are high but in a semi-understandable way when youre doing it#materials are made for longevity and have coatings and shit to seal up your art for actual decades to protect it#it Should be a one time purchase when its done properly and theres lil maintenance stuff you can have done#but generally speaking it should last as long as you dont let the wood rot#i do maintenance on shit thats like 200 years old#take it apart clean the glass check the adhesive seal it back up with new paper#thats like $10#doing a new frame is like $80-a billion dollars and usually its scaled on the size of the art#idk im bored rn i did all my tasks and now im waiting for the imposter to kill me

I drafted a wikipedia article for a pirate this week and it was rejected because the original ink-and-parchment transcript of his trial and execution in 1718 wasn't considered a "reliable" source, even though A General History of the Pyrates by Charles 'I Made this Up' Johnson was approved of, and that encapsulates the true/untrue energy of pirate history so perfectly that I can't even be mad about it
#i am getting it resolved and im sure the problem is perfectly fair but its just... yep. that's about right.#in this particular record the pirates beg for a fair trial and woodes rogers essentially says#'you all should have considered yourselves dead from the beginning. I don't have time for you so sucks to suck L+Ratio'#the actual quote being:#'the Governour told them that from the time of their being Apprehended - which was the 15th of November...#....they ought to have accounted themselves as condemned by Lawfull Nations - which was only sealed now.'#and don't even get me started on Benjamin Hornigold's role in all this. fucking sellout.

is there any merit at all in a Nights Watch/Widlings oppositional arctic research outposts AU because I think you can carry over msot of the major themes and also a lot of gay sex
#nights watch#asoiaf#mance as an arctic researcher. a weathered arctic researcher#actually no no no. mance is the guy who does wildlife photography for polar bears and leopard seals#and qhorin is the guy who follows him with a gun in case mance starts to get his body eaten by an angry bear#jon snow bright eyed fresh college graduate coming to Make a Difference in the artic and jeor mormont is like yesss yess yess its#amazing here! we do incredible revoluntary work. we are saving the world#and everyone else is shaking their head behind his back and putting finger guns to their head. welcome to hell kid.#jon snow had his full ride paid for by his rich ceo father ned stark at the chagrin of his current wife and now jon has a Complex about it#even though eveeryone else is like coooll I worked at pizza hut and owe half a million dollars in student debt to be here. what did you do#and hes like Oh. my father :/ paid my entire tuition :/ yeah it really sucked my stepmom was so angry about it ...#wait should I write this

I made a thing :>
I love Cyber so much, he's my perfect lil terrifying overpowered villain <3
This whole art was me just wanting to draw Cyber looking all fancy with his strings and 'crown' of claws.
There's like 50 paragraphs of lore behind the strings and claws and the fact I spent the time to make sure he had specifically 10 eyes.
This was super fun to draw too!! I rarely do art like this so it was a bit of a struggle to figure out where to put everything with the three colors I allowed myself on the art itself (Excluding the light teal color of his magic and spikes.
Is the head a bit to busy? Yes Probably, but a friend pointed out that it all leads to his face to attract attention to him and that's very fitting for his character so it works out. Also ignore the fact he has four fingers on his top arms and only 3 on the lower, IT WAS TOTALLY ON PURPOSE AND CONNECTED TO HIS LORE 100%
#justkarthings#art#oc art#look at dem big ol eyes#He's 100% innocent I swear#ignore the fact he nearly kills off a whole population-#I love him so much cause I get to make him overpowered#and not care because sometimes you need a main villain#that CANT be killed or sealed away#The only reason why he gets “defeated” is cause he “defeats” himself#by using his own soul and magic to break apart the fabric of reality#I should draw ACTUAL Cyber at one point#and not the body he has fully taken over :>

i didnt expect the shift with mr beast to happen for another like 5 years tbh, idk why, i kind of thought it would come from an old disgruntled employee, but this gradual disillusionment is probably better for actually discussing issues, rather than a twitter bloodbath i guess
forever glad the dteam decided to stick with florida tbh
me too, on both counts! he seemed on top of the world (and really he still is, a few 100k tweets won’t change his view numbers) so him falling out of favor wasn’t on my radar for a good while yet. i don’t think he’s going anywhere anytime soon, and twitter discourse probably isn’t going to make a meaningful effect in how he presents himself. but if it pushes back against the general mr-beast-ification of youtube that’s been happening then i think it’s worthwhile :P
#i think people who weren’t already fans had been quietly grumbling about it for a while and then the curing blind people vid was the spark#although the way people went about expressing their arguments was dumb tbh#and why a lot of ccs didn’t take it seriously#like if you’re seriously calling him satanic then i’m gonna laugh at you too LMAO just express the actual argument which is much stronger—#that while yes he does good things it creates a culture of people begging and scraping for the benevolent beast to bless them#(as we can see with the feastables shelf incident)#or else they’re outta luck and won’t be able to afford this or that#and poverty/the healthcare system isn’t his fault Of Course…. but people are still allowed to be disgruntled#at someone making content off that inequality#anyway. THAT’S (<-) what people should have said instead of calling curing blind people a seal of the apocalypse or whatever#that gets you taken seriously#but then again who am i to be twitter police 🤷♀️ sorry for writing a novel in the tags#but YES! i agree with you and i’m very glad dt have avoided getting too tangled up with him lmao#bella answers#ag-eh-dac

Well attempt #2 (clear) is almost passable and a lot better than attempt #1 (blue) but I'm almost done with a re-work of the mold and everything so hopefully #3 works out better..
We'll have to see sometime tomorrow.
#handmade dice#mj reinvents the wheel#but really though if it weren't so wonky it could almosy pass as a workable dice master#plus the blemished faces you can't see in the picture#but it wasn't nearly as wonky as the first attempt and it actually made me simply the design#which would actually make the other shapes easier to do in the future#having a bit of trouble with the insert mold forms sealing themselves together and making it almost impossible to get the face plate out#so that needs some work but hopefully not too much#which may mean i have to go back through and rework some of the things i already did because i got ahead of myself because of course i did#anyway I'm taking things slower as i should but i like quick results#im using red for the next one#probably one of the new resin dyes

#* brightbloom / ooc.#as in he can't help but embed himself into the narrative in such a pervasive way#1. because he's bound himself to li.nk so tightly in his attempt to help and guide and make a start at atoning for his failings#2. because 10k+ years of being 9/10 sealed and 1/10 subliminally aware hasn't actually let him process things in a healthy way and he#copes with it the way he's always turned to cope with being left adrift. with being at. a loss you could say (is smote)#this is half a joke and half me wanting to combust at how badly this guy wants to finish this story he's helped woven with his own hands#but then just returns to who he always was even before kinghood. someone who so! wholeheartedly believes!!#FINDING PEACE THROUGH THIS BELOVED FUTURE YOU HELPED PAVE THE WAY FOR.

You fucking idiots dont fucking get it. ive been taking care of plants since i was 14. Ive tried FUCKING EVERYTHING. Fungus gnats are just apparently gonna exist around me no matter what i do or try, apparently just like these yerfs who also seem to be breeding like maggots.
#please! non plant experts stfu forever.#please! if you dont take care of a grden or live by a heavily wooded areas and dont have any plants inside too that arent succs-#shut the fuck up forever!!#whatever you're about to suggest! ive fucking tried it!!!#but of course. like the yerfs you are you cant ever take me at my word for my own experiences. its always that yall know whats right always#and never that im actually fucking correct about the shit i talk about. like maybe its just really fucking hard to control their population#did you ever consider that sometimes you have to make sacrifices if you want to take care of something like plants? i have to wake up at 6#in the morning now JUST to keep the squirrels scared away from my planters. bc if i sleep in at all i risk letting my plants die bc of#their bs. unfortunately theres just shit that comes with plants that you have to decide whether or not your love for plants is greater than#whatever bs you might encounter while you take care of them. and unfortunately one of those sacrifices is having to deal with fungus gnats#and bugs in general. yall think its so easy to control bugs in my apartment. im poor. nothing is sealed here.#i had a fucking mosquito infestation. how does that even happen? i dont fucking know! but it did.#ive had a meal moth infestation. how did they get in? they were breeding in a little bag of old food i had for my hermit crabs.#how did they get in and somehow get to that bag all the way in my room? WHO FUCKIN KNOWS! I SUSPECT THOUGH ITS BC IM FUCKIN POOR#AND THIS SHIT AINT SEALED IN HERE WELL ENOUGH. i have bug problems all the time.#and you're gonna tell me its just suddenly so easy to get rid of gnats.#this is why ik none of yall *actually* take care of plants. like actually truly. outside of what. your succulents and the one palm you have#im really happy that you have plants you can deprive of water for a few days but i have marsh plants! i have swamp plants! I CANT deprive#them of moisture acrually! so its really not that fucking easy to get eid of the fucking gnats! i feel like i should have to fucking#explain this. if you actually took care of plants forreal forreal you would know they are just not fucking easy to get rid of.#but naw. im trans. so that means i never know what im talking about about anything or whatever and yall gotta act paternalistic about#everything i do. meanwhile im sitting over here ripping out my hair about how dumb and juvenile YALL are bc ik for a gotdamn fact if any of#yall ugly fucks ACTUALLY took care of plants outside of the ornamental ones you have this wouldnt be a discussion.#but naw ya saw a jokey post of mine about how i felt defeated in my ability to get rid of the gnats and decided i wasnt actually trying#bc for some reason yall gotta assume that no trans person actually just knows wtf theyre talking about literally on anything.#anyways i hope yall get plagued by gnats forever and all your planrs die from them devouring the roots.#its like yall are new souls coming in acting like you're an old soul and im the actual old soul tryna tell you what it is but yall are just#*so convinced* you're right because everyone says im the crazy old man on the corner so that means i dont know anything or some#dumb reasoning like that. like idk maybe this old man has seen some shit and knows some shit but sure im sure yall little asses know wrf#ur talking about. totally.

Just watched Midsommar and uh. Yeah. I'm gonna remember that one for awhile
#this is in no way negative#i really liked the movie and thought it was super interesting#florence pugh owns my heart#im actually so full of thoughts about it im just way too tired to express them rn#but the thing im most passionate about#'shss a feminist icon. christian deserved it. girl power'#NO#ive read that several times now. um. no#not the point of the movie. very much not the point. what the fuck#was christian a bad bf? yes. does that mean he deserved to get stuffed inside a bear carcass and burned alive? no#i feel like that should not be a controversial statement#also. also also also#christian was literally raped??#the women drugged and raped him??#he did not deserve that? and dani seeing that... likely sealed her decision to sacrifice him#i kinda lost where i was going with this tbh#i am just very passionate about this point#christian did not deserve what happened to him#repeat after me kids:#just because youre a shitty person does NOT mean you deserve to be raped and/or burned alive in a bear carcass#and that is just ONE point. we must also consider how dani was manipulated by the cult#and that the cult ultimately killed everyone. not dani#but no matter what dani still made the choice#she was hurt. she was manipulated. but she was still happy about it#im losing fhe ability to make sense. but im very passionate about this now#great movie tho#rape tw#murder tw#violence tw
