please watch this tiktok (x)

There’s no way to tell where this goes.

just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over

Also: going to these places puts pressure and demand on the company. Demand they can't meet without actors and writers. That puts stress on them, and stress is good.

^^^^ive been looking for a rb with this addition because YES. if a customer wants a burger and there is no cook to make it, that puts pressure on the owner to pay the cook what they want so the customer will still give them money. if there is no customer, the owner has no reason for the cook to make burgers

Stop watching IF AND ONLY IF the unions call for a boycott. For the time being since they haven't, streaming the shows actually helps. You're not crossing a picket line to watch because that picket line does not exist unless a boycott is called for.

I am enjoying drawing these much more than doing my work. It’s risky, but time theft feels good. I have 3 more of these shorter comics planned, with potentially more beyond those.

Organizing DON’Ts #1: [a little black cat says: Never talk about organizing on the job.]

[a shady figure wearing sunglasses eavesdrops on the little black cat talking to a coworker] If your campaign is public, then organizing on the job can cause National Labor Relations Board issues. [The little black cat is saying, “Um, let’s talk after work.”]

[the little black cat wears an apron and stocks a shelf at work while being watched closely by a security camera] If you aren’t public yet, the job is the worst place to talk about unionizing. 

[the little black cat and coworker talk safely in a café over coffee] Always organize outside of work. It’s safer, more secure, and let’s you get to know your coworkers better! [the coworker is saying, “I been at the job 4 years…”]

* National Labor Relations Board

the MOST iconic 20 seconds of any anime dub i’ve ever experienced

Steven Meisel, Azzedine Alaia, 1987

“It’s about your pet, not about your pride”

Everyone makes mistakes, nobody is born knowing everything, but it’s a choice to remain ignorant and it’s a choice to accept new information and do things in a better way.

____ I’ll make more illustrations like this, if you have any idea feel free to tell me.

I love this!! I can’t think of any ideas atm but keep up the good work😍

suggestion: goldfish and/or bettas (bowls vs proper setups)

Also this is fantastic I want it on posters.

The sheer energy. The beauty of this woman. The women hugging in the background. The man in rainbow parachute pants. This whole video is art.

It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this.

everything about this image so clearly dates it perfectly i feel like i’m examining the rings on a great and majestic oak tree

Trying to impress cats and failing is universal

It’s extremely important that I tell you all that this seal is doing the ‘banana pose,’ something seals do when they are feeling particularly happy and relaxed. This seal, looking directly at the cat, is absolutely overwhelmed with Good Vibes, something we can all related to.

Annie are you ok

the editing in this is incredible

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Time to drop some links again.

– https://searchmysite.net/ Search engine for the indie web, personal websites, digital gardens. You can also find them in websites like Neocities, Indieweb, Blogarama, and write.as. There is also a big list of personal websites.

– https://search.marginalia.nu/ Search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and promotes websites that aren’t usually at the top of the list.

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines A list of search engines sorted by subject, area, and more. If you’re searching on a specific area, it might be worth checking if there is one focused on that area.

– https://tineye.com/ Reverse image search alternative to Google’s. Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)

That Google and Meta can get away with this during an era of intense misinformation and disinformation signals that we cannot rely on large tech companies to provide reliable access to information and news:
