Well done, well done, well done!

Hollywood actors' union agrees tentative deal to end four-month strike

The four-month impasse paralysed the entertainment industry and delayed numerous films and TV shows.

Reminder that striking is good, striking works, striking allows you to fight for better rights and protections.

I've seen a metric fuckton of negative mainstream media takes on striking, which of course influences the public perception of it. I've had many strike sympathetic people in my life suddenly turn and call them 'unnecessary - don't they get paid enough?' (not the point but ok) Or 'God its so inconveniencing' (the point). I have a rule that if someone is on strike - I will support them - they must have a good reason and people are stronger together.

Striking works - and corporate that stands behind mainstream media does not want you to know that, because it means they'd have to start treating you like a human and not a faceless number on the payroll - people who are better looked after cost more, and they do not want to spend more than they have to. So they influence the media (tin foil hat a bit here but its fucking obvious)

So remember this - it fucking works. And if you go and get a job that has a union - fucking join it.

Well done SAG-AFRA, WAG, and all the other fighting unions.

Now for fucks sake, someone let Michael Sheen out.

that period of time when a hyperfixation ends and you haven't found a replacement yet, that's the true definition of raw dogging life

Hope people use this time to check themselves on their internalized Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism— especially if you’re American or European. It is not “normal” for the Middle East to be “constantly at war”. Muslims are not more inclined to violence and “barbarism”.

The state of the region is the product of decades of colonialism, exploitation, and racism in play. The word “Middle East” itself stems from those very same things.

K there’s like three dudes you draw from shows I’ve never seen in your HOM verse (Heroes of the multiverse?)

I know two are generator Rex and randy ninth grade ninja but what’s the third.

It’s not Jake, Danny, or Ben.

I know Kim Juniper and Jenny.

Who am I missing?

Heroes of Millennium! (since in this au most of them are technically from the same universe, but it could be a cool alternative name ngl xD)

Ah, the poor, very often forgotten Zak Saturday from Secret Saturdays (great show, amazing plot, delightful characters! people really should watch it!).

You better watch out, buddy – I have extremely unusual life experiences which I mistakenly believe are universal, and I'm about to misinterpret your post in ways you can't even imagine.

@MorePerfectUS: Bangladesh is raising the minimum wage for garment workers by 56% after workers led mass protests. Weeks of strikes had shut down factories for brands like Gap, H&M, and Zara. Worker groups plan to keep protesting, saying the new $113/month wage falls far short of fair pay.
