#keep supporting the strike

I pointed this out in a Discord server I'm in and thought Id share here:
Bob Iger announced that Disney is going to absorb Hulu, and Hulu will no longer exist next year. All shows will move to the Disney+ app.
Disney also announced they were going to remove shows and movies periodically from their streaming services.
I believe both of these moves are because of the Writers Strike.
Disney knows its going to lose the strike. There is too much public support. Specifically, the WGA is going to win writers getting more residuals from streaming.
So if Disney takes shows off of streaming, they dont have to pay the writers the residuals.
They are going to use excuses like "not enough funding for the server capacity" or "not enough views to warrent keeping the show". These are BULLSHIT. Its all greed. Its only GREED.
Pay attention to what happens in the following weeks.
And keep supporting the writers' strike.

Bisan has called for a global strike this week 1/21-1/28! Offer support in as many ways as you can, but don’t feel bad if you can’t do everything or do it differently than others. We all have a part to play.
#palestine#ceasefire#Gaza#I know general strikes need a lot more organization to be fully effective#but it’s being called by the people affected#so I’m going to do the best I can to support it#keep talking about Palestine

Boycott!
It pisses me off that people care more about the fact that Snow White doesn't have pale skin than that there's a fucking genocide going on in the world (By the way, fucking boycott Disney because they helped Israel financially)
But you can see that there are more important things, remember the Olympics? Instead of being concerned about Israel being allowed, people got more outraged because they thought the drag queen was parodying an image of Jesus and not mythology… Yeah, that was fucking more important to them and it still pisses me off
It pisses me off that bullshit like this makes people look away from the genocide going on in the world and it's fucked up, stop fucking looking away, I understand, you want to feel better, but while you're doing something else, don't forget about Gaza, Congo , Sudan, Haiti, Syria, Ukraine… Just don't forget about them, I'm begging you
Now that I have your word:

New blog rule (inspired by recent events): antisemites get one (1) snarky reply from me before they are reported if I choose to respond.
After that, the only response will be thus:
עם ישראל חי
#jumblr#jewish politics#antisemitism tw#now that i am awake and alert and i still feel this way it will be a permanent blog rule#blog rules#thank you to the lovers and the dreamers for having my back and supporting me and helping me feel safe enough to do this (that's y'all)#there are a lot of people here that i follow (this is a sideblog but we're technically mutuals?!) that have inspired me to not take bigotry#i used to quiety endure it until i felt as though my skin would boil off and my muscles would liquefy but i hope that will change#i'm starting to get a one-strike rule mentality now which... maybe is too harsh but i now VALUE myself too much#i may keep making memes like the one i made last night as a response though!#i made (well i edited) the 'do you see this shit moshe?' image i used last night! i was kind of proud of how it looked

the amptp refused to negotiate AI usage for tv and film
the amptp refused to negotiate weekly MBA minimums during post-production
the amptp refused to negotiate viewership-based residuals for SVOD and (high budget) AVOD series writers
the amptp proposed day-paying (!) comedy/variety writers and daytime writers on streaming as opposed to offering them the same protections they are guaranteed on broadcast and cable.
there’s more and you can read it for yourself. let’s keep this clear: the amptp forced the wga to go on strike, and all of the financial, cultural, and emotional fallout the fault of the studios, not the writers trying to make a living.
to quote amazing tv writer ashley nicole black: “this is scary. but a future where we accept what the companies are trying to do— low paid, freelancer writing gigs with no job security— is much scarier.”
anyways. happy writers strike day one i guess.
#kt tangents#writers strike#listen this is not me calling for any action do not read it that way and for the love of god stop calling for a boycott of anything#if you would like to support the wga there are strike funds etc but mainly just make sure to keep it clear they are not at fault#this is gonna hurt because its meant to. thats how strikes work.#and yes it sucks believe me i feel you (come join my grand summer of unemployement aka feel free to vent idk) but this is not the wgas fault

I just want to put out such a genuine thank you to everyone who worked on this season of Good Omens. I know everyone’s been joking about how Neil/everyone should sleep with one eye open and as funny as that is I think is so important to also show our immense appreciation. The reactions I’ve seen or had myself are nothing short of devastating. It’s brilliant writing and fantastically well made. I cannot express how much I am grieving these characters, I have not felt something quite like it before. Your stories matter. They mean something to us. Thank you for sharing them.
#reminder that when you support the strike this is what we are fighting for#media is everything and we need to keep it alive#good omens#go 2#go#gos2#good omens spoilers#neil gaiman#ineffable#ineffable husbands

these studios are fucking nuts what the hell. yall refuse to pay your writers fair wages and intend to starve them out of their houses and savings - these people who probably have families, mind you - all while their privileged asses are sitting on piles and piles of money in their big ass mansions that they will never spend but don't have the balls to share because clearly they missed that class in preschool.
yall absolutely have enough money to pay your writers who quite literally made the shows that filled your pockets. you just won't because you're a bunch of vile assholes. go fuck yourselves.
support the wga, support the sag-aftra if they strike too. make these execs regret the day they were born, and EAT THE RICH.
#god#just. the part where they said they intended to make these writers lose their houses#that hit close to home.#my mom does NOT make a lot of money and we can barely afford to keep our house#literally all of her money goes to paying rent. and. thinking about these execs/studios with billions and billions of dollars they could#very easily share but aren't because they're GREEDY. so instead they're literally starving these people and their families.#what the fuck. What The Fuck. other people need to eat too. other people need housing too.#not just your privileged asses with your golden toilet seats or whatever the fuck#anyway. sorry. im mad.#support the wga#wga strong#wga strike#bee.txt

In 2021, after my grandmother died (2020), ironically, a musical about death (Beetlejuice) helped me in this stage (Same as when the pandemic was going on and people were dying, and my defense mechanism against it was quite disturbing in retrospect...)
Now it's 2024 and you see a lot of people dying (Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Syria, Bangladesh, etc…), now a musical probably won't help (Especially when you boycott Broadway for supporting Israel)
You see collections going too slowly, or stuck at a certain amount and not wanting to move at all
You see how people enjoy productions from companies that are boycotted, and one of the films was the biggest profit…
And you blame yourself for buying something that turns out to be boycotted or you feel bad that when you say goodbye to a certain work by a Zionist creator, you listen to it for some time and never come back…
I got angry when I accidentally played "Lady Gaga" (Who is silent about Gaza along with Taylor Swift)
And yet, I can't describe what I feel because I still haven't learned how to describe my feelings (I'm 23 years old and I'm on the autism spectrum)
You boycott so many artists that you start listening to old music (Because many new artists and bands turned out to be Zionists or silent about genocide)
I haven't watched anything for a long time, I just don't feel like watching cartoons (Too much bad stuff is happening)
That's just the way it's been lately :/
I will provide links to collections (Or posts with links to collections)

#free palestine#mutual aid#I feel so bad for not being able to support every campaign that shows up in my DMs#I have so little to give#and not enough income to take care of me and donate 8 bucks in CAD to every person#I tried#but I don't have the funds to keep doing this#my fellow students are planning a strike this fall#I'm joining the march#because when one is flat broke#All I have is my voice and body#I know it's not enough#but it's all I have to offer

I saw a great thing about boycotts vs strikes, and wanted to emphasize that point.
DONT STOP GOING TO THE THEATERS. KEEP GOING. ASK AMC/THEATER FOR OLD MOVIES IF THEY DONT HAVE NEW ONES.
Why?
We all know movie theaters get their money from food sales more than ticket sales.
The theaters have to pay exorbitant licensing fees for new movies and frequently on an individual basis. But that's how studios got so wealthy in the first place.
However studios will lease older movies for less money, and do a bulk deal for each studio. Anytime those license deals are setup, actors and writers get paid in residual money.
So, you go to the theater.
You keep the theater open,showing them there's money to be had in showing old movies.
You pay actors & writers directly.
You even give studios an indicator of "Oh hey, we're not making as much as we COULD if we just stop being jerks about it."
Make them cave.
Drive up Demand.
Go to The Movies.
#signal boost#wga solidarity#sag strike#support the wga#wga strike#wga strong#makestudioscave#keep going to the movies

so glad we all held out during the wga/sag strikes bc they got all their terms fully delivered and no other departments are seeing probably the biggest layoffs in the industry right now! yay!
#their reps now saying theyre fully in support of the iatse/etc negotiations coming up later this year is so funny too like#thanks. as if iatse did jackshit last time either 👍#obviously i am still in support of the strikes its just like. so many people lost more than their livelihoods over it#and now we're facing the same and its so beyond fucked i feel like vfx and gaming are imploding right now#and sag/wga didnt even get all their terms met right? for what?#and sorry but taking a stance against enduring studio bs is all well and good but like#that statement about 'oh studios thought theyd bled us dry and we dont have the money to keep striking but we do'#who is WE exactly? bc so many writers have gone broke over this? where are their strike funds?

i think. that ppl in north gaza are some of the most incredible humans that have ever existed. for staying. for experiencing the worst of the worst. for being the bravest possible. and it is because the unarmed palestinians are still there that hamas and any other resistance fighters are able to continue to fight and hold onto the landscape. that is how each palestinian is an automatic resistance fighter. that i show existance is resistance in this moment for palestinians in gaza. there is so much bravery i think people will spent centuries just trying to articulate it. i think the journalists and story tellers in north gaza, they are so brave. i think the beings are so brave. i think the beings there are so revolutionary. every being. the earth being in existance, the plants that continue to grow in the face of bombs and weapons i cannot imagine. the other animals like cats and birds and every being i cannot name still surviving, still finding refuge, still breathing and not just giving up si so incredible. i am in beyond awe. i am so irrevocably changed by genocide. i am so fundementally different.
#i am so moved. i am so#it just struck me. like it always keeps coming back to strike me and i keep getting stunned and i feel like i will continue to be stunned f#for forever#i also dony mean for this post to hav a tone#im so stoned and so overwhelmed with emotions. and i feel like i phrased this as incorrectly#also i imagine palestinains arent feeling this bc im seeing in real time videos of ppl saying they feel shit#for asking for help and for neding support and how raw and grief filled they feel and i dont know im not trying to make this sound any kind#of way. i dont know#im really so sorry to every palestinian#i follow this kid yusuf and the other day he revealed his birthday and he is 2 days younger than my youngest brother#imagine. my little brother in genocide. my little brother. my littlel brother. my . little brother.
