#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."

Fuck around, find out, etc.

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.

"🚨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."

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

If having the apk stop working makes you think "fuck, i guess i MUST pay for Spotify now🙄" instead of "i hope Spotify goes to hell where it belongs and gets eaten by a thousand fire wolves, i will make it my life mission to find a new pirated version that works OUT OF SPITE" you are weaker than my will to live

[mymatedave10]

That was literally the plot in s recent crime drama, these people are monstrous

just burn these studios to the ground

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

Knowingly reading AI fanfiction is like crossing a picket line
