aroallo person vs “progressive” purity culture is a tough battle but i’m out here fighting every day

[chrissyjoshys]

amatonormativity: a romantic partner should be the most important person in EVERYONE'S life

NOT amatonormativity: MY romantic partner is the most important person in MY life, but i understand this is not the same for other people

allosexnormativity: EVERYONE should have sex and sex is something EVERYONE needs/wants/should want

NOT allosexnormativity: I PERSONALLY enjoy sex and love having sex because it makes ME feel good, but other people dont feel the same and that's okay

platonormativity: having friends is important for EVERYONE and EVERYONE needs/has/should have friends

NOT platonormativity: having friends is important to ME and I PERSONALLY love having friends, but there are people who dont and theres nothing wrong with that

faminormativity (is that the word?): family is important for EVERYONE and EVERYONE needs to have their family

NOT faminormativity: family is important to ME and I PERSONALLY need my family with me, but other people dont feel the same and i understand that

lovenormativity (again, not sure if this is a word): EVERYBODY feels love and there's something wrong wiith you if you dont

NOT lovenormativity: I PERSONALLY feel love and love people, but not everyone does and that's completely okay!

NOT amatonormativity: i dont have friends/have any desire to have friends, i am happy with other relationships/no relationships at all

NOT platonormativity: i dont have any desire to be in a romantic relationships, and i am happy with my platonic relationships

NOT allosexnormativity: i like hooking up with people and having one night stands or friends with benefits

NOT faminormativity: i care about my family deeply and am close with family members

NOT lovenormativity: i feel love for people i care about

it's not normative to personally enjoy something, so long as you respect that other people simply arent like you and aren't going to like the same things as you. taking down normativity is a two way street, allos and aspecs need to do it. support your local aros, aces, apls, afams and other aspecs today! remember to challange all normativities, and to not enforce other normativity by saying how bullshit other normativities are!

nothing is universal. romance is not universal. sex is not universal. friendship is not universal. family is not universal. love is not universal. nothing is universal.

with the expansion of work-from-home, I think it would be appropriate and delightful if OSHA started investigating landlords for providing unsafe working conditions. "there's no carbon monoxide detector in this home office (bedroom). The paint in this home office (living room) contains illegal levels of lead. This home office (tiny studio apartment) contains so many safety violations we are shutting down the entire business (rent collecting) until things are up to code."

The anti-remote propaganda is driven by companies mad that their remote employees are happier, making the other in-person employees question why they too shouldn't have good options and good mental health, too.

[liberalsarecool]

Conservative men talking about abortion is pure patriarchal malware. The disinformation and misogyny are criminal.

The top tax bracket in the 1950s created the middle class, paved the nation's highways, paid for college degrees via GI Bill, and influenced corporations to invest in their employees' salaries/invest in factories/equipment to lower their taxable income.

Now, we just have stock buybacks, stagnant wages, and off-shored trillions avoiding taxes.

“reblog this or you don’t support minorities!” “if you don’t reblog this then all of your followers should hate you!” “if you have a bad thought then you actually think that way and you’re a horrible person!” “you can only like ‘good’ things and if you like something ‘bad’ then you’re awful!” i am going to throttle you with my bare hands

If your goal is to normalize gender-nonconformity you’re gonna have to accept that some people will fuck with gender as hard as they can while still being unequivocally, 100% cis and that is okay. There’s no egg to crack or callout to write. This is a good thing actually.

[the-diabolic-acid]

the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me

"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers

"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers

"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS

I’m curious as to where you all stand

SAG-AFTRA strike

I support it and will be boycotting all new movies/TV/streaming etc

I support it but will not be boycotting movies/TV/streaming etc

I don’t support it but will boycott movies/TV/streaming etc for other reasons

I don’t support it and won’t be boycotting anything

I don’t care about this

Reblog for demographics!

[bemusedlybespectacled]

Has either union called for a boycott? Because boycotting can disrupt their plans and make negotiations harder unless they’re actively asking for one. I’m boycotting reality TV (which every studio is going to be pushing because it’s the only content they can make cheaply and without writers or professional actors) but nothing else unless we are asked to.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

#i always understood that boycotts and strikes were sort of two opposing strategies#if a strike is happening you want demand to continue as normal because the point is to prove what would happen without your labor#a boycott is reducing demand and the point is usually in response to a practice that cant be solved by employees walking out#for instance a boycott might be ideal for protesting AI generated content (via @displacedlabrat)

This is correct. If anything, I want the execs to be terrified because the consumers are demanding more from them and they have nothing in their reserves to sell and no way of making anything else to sell.

Also "new" content is going to keep coming out for a while because it's already been written and acted and edited. (I'd actually expect a lot of bad-but-finished movies that would normally never be released to get released once they start running out of the good stuff) There is less than no point to boycott anything right now.

[cr-ok]

that new Netflix show looks cool and all, but isn’t the writer’s strike still going?

[fans4wga]

For clarification, yes, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is still on strike (60+ days and counting!) and there's no end in sight yet. However, TV shows and films that are releasing now were in the can long before the strike started: this isn't the work of scabs but of WGA members working before a strike was called.

Additionally, there is no current official call for a boycott from the WGA. Some individual WGA members have encouraged people to cancel their streaming subscriptions with a note saying this is in support of writers, but this isn't official, and it's unlikely a small handful of people canceling will make a dent in the studios' bottom line. What will make a difference is the TV/film pipeline drying up this fall, or the actors' guild (SAG-AFTRA) going on strike, which would completely shut down all production.

For now, continue your normal viewing habits. (If viewership declines sharply, the studios may use it as an excuse to cancel and remove many more films/shows from their sites as a tax write-down.) If the WGA does call for a boycott in the future, you still want to have the leverage of canceling then.
