#don't be a scab

[driftbit]

"What will you do without new shows" I haven't watched a mainstream television show as it released in years. I'm catching up on shows my parents liked in the 90s. I'm listening to fiction podcasts with 5 fans. I'm playing a video game the creators want you to pirate. I'm watching a minecraft roleplay. I may not know what I'm gonna do but I'm sure as hell not gonna be a fuckin scab babygirl.

The IWW uses a lot of acronyms and terms you might not know, so the IWW Dictionary is here to the rescue! Today we're defining "scab."

If you're worried about your favourite shows/movies being cancelled/delayed/dropping in quality, instead of complaining about how it impacts you (which can be used by studios to paint striking workers as the bad guy) use your frustration and anger to stand with the WGA, learn why they're striking and what they're asking for, and direct any negative feelings you may have directly at studios who are the reason writers even need to strike.

Fuck around, find out, etc.

Don't be a Scab

LMFAO really? "Best and final" offer like, what are they gonna do, stop making movies forever? 😭🤣😭

The Strike ends when the Talent (that means everyone! Writers! Actors! Crew!) gets fair and livable working conditions.

Would it be crossing the picket line to watch the Barbie movie? It's already been produced but I don't want to be part of the problem

Friendly Reminder that SAG-AFTRA made FAQs for influencers/cosplayers/etc for how to help the strike and prevent scabbing

This information is important, not only to help bolster strike power, but also to help guarantee that you have a place in the guild once the strike is over.

If you want to be a union writer or actor, it's important that you don't do what's considered scabbing (doing work for the entity being struck against), because if you can't give solidarity with the union now, you won't have it in the future.

Here are the links to look at:

For Influencers

For Personal Appearances and Conventions

Non-Members in General

Last but not least, here's the main page with contact information if you need specifics

THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. STOP ASKING GUILD MEMBERS. THE COMMITTEE HAS ALREADY SET UP THE GUIDELINES AND ARE WILLING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS FOR CLARIFICATION. STOP ASKING NEIL GAIMAN AND ASK THEM.

Today’s activities include: checking the socials of various actors and influencers and updating my notes app scabbing blacklist

"🚨HOT TAKE🚨

Paying for streaming services during WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes is crossing the picket line.

Unfair streaming residuals are precisely what they are striking over.

Don't be a scab."

Video by Franchesca Ramsey. TL;DW - Now that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are on strike, the studios are gonna come crawling to social media content creators, hoping to talk y'all into making content for them to fill the gaps. Don't do it, that's scabbing, and it'll hurt you in the future if you try to get employed in the industry later and want to join the union.

It is WILD to me how many people just loudly broadcast their intention to scab, as if that isn't the fastest way to brand yourself as someone who will throw anyone else to the wolves in an industry that runs on collaboration, so every writer say it with me

DJANGO JUST DROPPED ON AMERICAN NETFLIX

hey Americans, remember how I was in a Western period drama that came out in Europe in February? Well it's been licensed to US Netflix for the month of October, so if you've been waiting to see it now's your chance!

I play a trans girl called Jess who's hanging out in the Wild West, straight chillin'. I had a blast filming it; it was my first big TV job that I got juuusssst after I came out so I'm still a baby in it lol, but it means a lot to me
