Yall are too young to understand how important random appearances were in the 2000s and 2010s. Kris Jenner would have them at the opening of a file cabinet. She didn’t gaf!
So Rolin Jones still got my ass. I’m buying tickets to all the Vampire Lestat tour dates. Also he just taught Sam Levinson a lesson in taking a big swing while still respecting your actors and your characters.
LRT. All gay rights were/are fought for mostly by people like Raase Mary, non-confirming people who face death daily by just BEING. When gay rights are achieved. Then “straight acting” gays magically appear, take up space and cement themselves as THE movement/right gays. Mfers!
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!

the art director on Obsession sharing her grief over the financial and labor state of the industry, pouring her heart out and all the top comments on her post are a bunch of nobodies with negative knowledge talking about “you knew the rate” like i hope you die actually
Millions in SA want to work, however it benefits wealthy nations to keep SA poor and unproductive.
It means resources can be cheaply exported from the state. It means we are a simple continental entry point with limited negotiation power.
reading emmys prediction lists and seeing THE DIPLOMAT, PARADISE, and STRANGER THINGS as top contending dramas, and nary a mention of INDUSTRY, really makes me feel like throwing a temper tantrum of infinite proportion
“you just want to use resources funded by taxpayer money”
THAT’S WHAT TAXPAYER MONEY IS FOR!😭
We should be incensed that on top of high taxes we have to pay for private education, healthcare, bottled water, inverters etc. THATS NOT FINE!!
paying for 10 wings & only getting 2
