Hey just a reminder because apparently I need to say this: if you are in any way transphobic, homophobic, anti-vaccines, or think autism is something that needs to be cured, you're not going to like following me
We’re really just gonna keep watching celebrities and regular people become seriously ill, disabled and die at young ages and say nothing to be done, can’t be all those covid infections, huh? That living with covid plan is going fucking great.

also pls boost
The mindless hostility from people outside the industry, I get. Par for the course.
It’s the folks IN the business who are outraged by one of our own saying, “Hey, maybe we can do better” that’s mystifying to me.
(6 years of crewing before shifting to writing. I’ve been there.)
I feel like people are forgetting that the art director knew she’d be getting massive backlash, knew she was risking her career, and yet she chose to speak up anyway? All of established hollywood is “worried” for her career, you think she wasn’t worried?? Bootlickers all
Make no mistake: The US government will socialize the immense costs of subprime AI. They will force us all to eat the losses, while the perpetrators of the biggest fraud in history abscond to private islands. Be ready, because a deliberate rug-pull is the plan.
Just because you can legally exploit people's labor doesn't mean it is moral to do so. Just because an industry is propped up on the exploitation of labor does not mean that we cannot ask for a different way of doing business.
She agreed to $300 per day for her work as an Art Director, not script supervisor, assistant rigger, lighting technician, prop manager, runner, and driver.
Y'all keep intentionally ignoring how much labor she was made to do that was not in her contract for 14+ HOURS A DAY!
So many people arguing for the people and companies who make millions whilst everyday workers make a pittance, do so with aspirations of being of the class that'll make millions. A protection strategy for their imagined future selves rather than present-day solidarity.
hey, this is a genuine potentially life-or-death emergency so please boost this: i need to get in contact with as many people who might be involved in anti-ICE stuff in New Jersey as possible.
a transfem friend of mine has gone missing and i’m trying to help find her
"That is just how Hollywood works" is some bullshit btw. There is always a need to point out real flaws in a corrupt system. Things can change and it has to be demanded. Imagine choosing to defend a movie studio and a corrupt system over a worker. Embarrassing.
Four years ago IATSE members had an IG account where thousands shared how the work load and union violations literally disables crew members every year, and some live in their cars, when it doesn't have to be that way. People have died in car accidents due to severe exhaustion.
apphia kumar, a bisexual lgbt+ activist from india who was told to apply for asylum in the US as a lesbian bc no bi person has been granted asylum as a bisexual. she is the first person to have successfully done so.
There is no "chicken or egg" debate. SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of Long Covid. The nervous system may complicate symptoms, amplify symptoms, or maladapt to injury but those mechanisms are not the cause of Long Covid. Obscuring the cause of Long Covid is dirty work.
What bums me out the most about this Obsession discourse is the amount of “way to bury your career with an IG post.” It treats reprisal/blacklisting like a foregone conclusion instead of something that takes participation to uphold. No one should be punished for raising concern!
