"Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit"

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

we need to de-glamourize hollywood. impossible to hold an industry accountable when they are successfully selling the world a myth that it's a privilege to work for them (often for free, in insane conditions, while being forced to live in one of the most expensive places on earth). the glitz, the costumes, the fantasy, the parties, the paparazzi, all of it draws the public eye away from some very ugly realities.

so what do we replace it with, culturally? well to start with, cosplayer conventions--

[liarsblade]

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

enough toxic masculinity I'm ready for salubrious masculinity. I'm ready for a social movement that encourages (esp straight, cis) men to indulge in things that make them more joyful, emotionally healthy, and help them strengthen not core muscles but core compassionate communication skills.

"oh but your favorite shows are going to be delayed by the strikes" my favorite shows consistently get cancelled after 2 excellent seasons bc of the exploitive corporate greed that these strikes are fighting against

It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

[rootbeergoddess]

This is what gets me. The writers and actors aren’t asking for much but these CEOs are digging their heels in

[vermilionstarlight]

It's because it sets a precedent that the CEOs are terrified to set. That they will acquiesce to worker demands if the workers are resolute enough.

Because in an ideal world for these rich fucks, the workers give up, and the CEOs win, and its reinforced in the collective public mindset that all a strike does is "disrupt the economy, deprive people of valuable products, and waste people's time". The goal is to maintain the assertion that Strikes Don't Work. I don't think they genuinely give a shit about 0.15% of their revenue. What they care about is the OPTICS.

They cannot back down, for the exact same reason that WORKERS cannot back down. Because if the workers win, it shows people just that bit more that The Poors have power and ultimately we can make the rich do what we want if we put our fucking minds to it. And that, to the rich, is bad news bears to the highest degree.

there is no such thing as being "behind in life" but it's okay to recognise that you missed out on some things whilst you were busy surviving
