Adam Conover on the 2023 WGA Contract:

The details of the new Writers Guild contract are out. We won: • Success-based residuals • Strong limitations on A.I. • Minimum writers room staffing • Guaranteed compensation and 13-week minimums for Comedy/Variety writers in streaming • Guaranteed 2-step deals for screenwriters • Guarantee that writers be kept on through production • Individual P&H contributions for writing teams • Script fees for staff writers • AND A HELL OF A LOT MORE. These are essential protections that the companies told us, to our faces, that they would NEVER give us. But because of our solidarity, because they literally cannot make a dollar without us, they bent, then broke, and gave us what we deserve. WE WON.

Since SAG-AFTRA is going on strike and the unions in Hollywood are getting more attention, I think it's really important to remind people to be mindful of the anti-union propaganda most media outlets will be releasing on behalf of the corporations.

For example, yesterday Deadline Hollywood tweeted that Matt Damon was talking about how tough the strike was going to be for his new company, making him out to be anti-union. This was a deliberate mischaracterization of his words: he said that while it would be difficult, if the union leadership deemed it necessary then they must strike, especially since it makes the difference for working actors to have healthcare. Deadline Hollywood retracted their statement after backlash.

This is not the first instance of this nor will it be the last. Media outlets will intentionally try to make it seem like there is real divide between actors and personalities in Hollywood about the strike when the vast majority of actors (and crew members in general) are in solidarity with one another. The media's role is also to turn the public against them, which subsequently makes collective action seem "selfish" and "greedy". They lay it on thick with additional comments with arguments such as "why are all these rich people complaining?" when the Big Names In Movies only account for about 10% of working actors industry-wide. Actors have to make $26, 000 USD to qualify for healthcare but with present conditions - and companies withholding residuals on streaming platforms as well - many can't even get that, and must get secondary jobs to survive.

It is absolutely necessary to be critical and skeptical of headlines as the strikes kick off. There will be more and more anti-union propaganda as it goes on. While there are bound to be a few actors who are anti-union, they do not represent the vast majority of working people in the industry.

The corporations involved in the strike do not want to pay their workers - the people generating the value of that which they produce - their fair share, a living wage, fairer contracts, and healthcare. Moreover, other corporations do not want to pay their workers fairly and pay for necessities like healthcare. The United States unionization rate is only 11.3%, which is too high even in capital owner's eyes. They do not want this number to increase; they do not want people to realize that they're being robbed of what they're owed while CEOs and executives rake in millions upon millions every single year.

TL;DR please be mindful of the headlines you see coming out of the media while the strikes are going on. The media has and will continue to lie to the public about labor action because they serve the corporations, not the workers. And this goes across the workforce, regardless of industry.

gentle reminder to anyone in the touchstarved fandom who wants to make art for their mc / oc [with ai tools]:

in their FAQ, they state they following:

Q: Can I use an AI bot or AI fanart using TOUCHSTARVED artwork? A: No. Using any part of TOUCHSTARVED for AI prompts of any kind infringes on Red Spring Studio's copyright and will be met with legal action. Red Spring Studio does not condone the usage of any AI tools

2. i have compiled a masterpost of free resources for character creation as alternatives to ai art
