The set designer who advocated for fair wage now is being rewarded. I hope she gets automatically into the local union to negotiate contracts moving forward.

My dad's first job paid enough to cover rent.
Not half the rent.
All the rent.
One paycheck.
I showed him an apartment listing near me.
$2,100 a month.
Then I showed him the starting salary for the same type of job he had at my age.
He stared at the screen for a second.
Then said:
"That doesn't add up."
Exactly.
"Why is THC still included in drug screenings when it lingers for weeks without causing impairment? It's like testing for last month's coffee. Shouldn't we prioritize actual job performance over punishing private adult use?
Breaking Update: Chicago police have released a photo of a person seen fleeing from burning cross in Grant Park. The investigation is ongoing

A cross burned in our city.
This makes us less safe, and authorities need to show the city they take this seriously. In our schools, we teach Chicago's children the value of diversity and the history of movements for civil rights and racial justice. It's a reminder that the fight isn't over and that Jim Crow isn't only rising in the South.
The Confederacy lost before, and those trying to bring it back will lose again. But it takes vigilance, unity, and a commitment to make no room for racism in our city. This needs to be addressed swiftly and strongly.

The economic principles Rahm Emanuel upheld as Chicago mayor included promoting unfettered corporate profiteering & plunder of communities of color, attacking labor unions, shutting down public schools & privatizing as much as possible—Good he didn’t get the World Cup but come on
let's be real; if you're talking about "generational wealth" in the South it comes down to "direct descendants of slaveowners, throwing it in your face that they still have the swag, and everyone involved knows where that money really came from"
The people who make it an advantage have less access to go to games than ever before. Deep NBA Playoffs/NBA Finals have become Super Bowl’d. Soulless corporate gatherings rather than a sanctuary for fans.
"We need more queer representation, where's the queer rep--"
HELLO, DO YOU LIKE MAGICAL GIRLS & ROLLER SKATING? WHAT ABOUT A SHOW THAT HAS BOTH?

Ya'll say you want queer indie animation, AND IT'S HERE!!!
I don't think most people are fully grasping what happened to Omar Artan. Citizens of African countries cannot travel to the US without first navigating a highly restrictive, discriminatory visa process. Africans face the highest refusal rates globally, not only for US visas +
