Look, this is probably going to end up as an unpopular post, because God knows the level of brainrot capitalism and fast consumption caused in people's brains, but I'd rather not get TV shows for a while if it means writers get their rights defended and recognized.

Entertainment can't come at the cost of fair pay, healthy work environment and ethical practices.

Hollywood Writers Strike: Official Sources

The Writer's Guild of America has voted to strike, and I want to get out ahead of something Tumblr is bad about doing and encourage y'all to PLEASE get your information about the strike from the guild itself, not from random people on Tumblr telling you it's "actually" about this or that.

The WGA wants the public to understand why they are striking. They have plenty of info available that is written with a general audience in mind.

  • WGA.org is the official website of the Writer's Guild of America West.
  • WGAwest is on Twitter and posting extensively about the negotiations and strike. This account is linked from the WGA website.
  • WGA also has a Linktree (linked from their Twitter bio) with more information about the strike, including their own Twitter threads about various strike issues, as well as articles in the media.
  • WGA Contract 2023 is a website full of information about the strike. It is one of the first links in the Linktree above. It's a great resource if you want to get deeper into the subject. There is a FAQ.

Any third party explaining the issue for you has an opportunity to, intentionally or not, insert their own spin or agenda. Get the information from the source.

Lovely people of tumblr, if I may speak with my librarian hat* on for a moment:

If you are in the US, you may be aware that librarians are Going Through It because some malicious people believe in fascism and have decided to make that our problem. Whether you are in the US or not, there is something you can do to help your local librarians out:**

Say something nice to us.

You can post on social media and tag your library, you can find the library’s main phone number and call, you can go in person, you can send a card (we display cards in our break room)! I guarantee you that you will make the day of the person you talk to, we will immediately go tell all our colleagues how lovely you were, and you will help us live to love and fight another day.

*it is a fetching piece of millinery in purple silk

**I propose we make this an international group project. Whether your librarians are going through it or not, we all appreciate a kind word.

I’m a big DS9 fan and I’m heading to a Trek con this weekend, and I’ll be wearing the t-shirt of O’Brien, Rom and Leeta in Bar Association that says “The boss needs you, you don’t need them! Labor is entitled to all it creates” and a button my friend made in support of the WGA strike! Best of luck to all of you! I’ve been following it closely and I support unions as a rule anyway (raised by proud Rust Belt Democrats) but looking at the extremely reasonable demands y’all are making that the production companies refuse to grant, it’s just appalling.

sassytail

also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.

brunhiddensmusings

oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward

like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated

he then revealed that the original xbox logo...
