Mailchimp is union busting! If you have a second to send them a quick email (this form will write it for you), it would be deeply appreciated!

Organize. Unions work.

The strike itself will still be in force through the guild’s contract approval and ratification process. But picketing has been suspended as of Sunday night. Guild leaders are expected to vote on Tuesday on whether to formally lift the strike order against AMPTP signatories.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!

by the way, it’s real bold of hollywood to be like “the writers and actors have unrealistic expectations, but WE know what we’re doing” when they got tricked into releasing morbius in theaters a second time.

I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. In the spirit of their own long-held stance:

Whenever I see someone (rightfully) complain about mainstream media I want alert them to fiction podcasts.

Want weekly/monthly episode releases to speculate about? Tired of feeling like you have to binge a whole season to tell the streaming service you want more? Over your lesbian rep being cancelled after one season, if it's even worth counting as rep to begin with? Want to know what original ideas could look like without corporate interference? Want original ideas? Where are all the stories with trans/nb characters that aren't about the woes of being trans/nb? Feel like there aren't enough passion projects being created? Where's all the aspec rep? Hate paying but feel lost trying to pirate media? How come disabled characters never feel like they've been written by someone who actually gets it? Like spooky stories but hate jumpscares or sexual horror? Miss shows that encourage theorising instead of just trying to surprise? Why can't any money you give support the creator directly and not the corporation?

Have you perhaps considered the noble/humble audio drama?
