when people are like “why is this group striking, they make more than we do” Have you considered that we don’t actually make a living wage either? Not many people do? And that’s kind of a problem?

WWDITS season 5 is on. Good Omens season 2 in four days. Our Flag Means Death confirmed to be coming to us sometime in October. I am eating. Feasting. Thriving. Reduced to a quivering mass of gay media jelly. I am forever changed down to a molecular level.

ALL STRIKES ARE GOOD STRIKES
I don't care how big of an actor or how many writing credits someone has, they created all the money that the project they participated in has made and they still get a relatively small cut of the products of their own labor. Any strike is a means (and usually the only means) in which laborers can get more of what they made back. And what's really important is that other fields of labor will see this and realize that they can benefit from labor action and organization, too. Another great moment to realize that a millionaire is still closer to you than a billionaire is to a millionaire. Writers and actors are irreplaceable in their fields and without them the entire movie industry falls apart, that is what this strike is about.

I support the HotD actors striking and I hope they along with the writers guild get everything and more!
On this blog we are pro union and pro creatives making what they’re worth!
I’m obviously sad, but the amazing people in this amazing show deserve to be paid and treated fairly! The way the Hollywood executives are behaving is horrific. I stand with the workers.
Whenever I see news of workers striking in any industry or company this is how I feel
