i think the argument "TV is the only outlet some people have" is not only exceptionally sad in a profoundly depressing way but also should be the alarm bell that radicalizes people into realizing how hollow capitalism has made their life
It is WILD to me how many people just loudly broadcast their intention to scab, as if that isn't the fastest way to brand yourself as someone who will throw anyone else to the wolves in an industry that runs on collaboration, so every writer say it with me
I should mention that the reason many, many new writers have not been able to get staffed (and often can't even get a foot in the door) is literally highlighted in several of the WGA's asks. I was regularly talking to folks already higher up the ladder than I was in 2018 and 2019, and when I talked to people in support staff positions, they'd say, "Have you considered looking into development?" and when I talked to people in development, they'd say, "Why not look into support staff roles?" because open jobs in those realms no longer existed.
The elimination of writers rooms meant fewer writing gigs, which meant less space for people in support roles to get promoted, and at the same time downsized support staff altogether. The rise of minirooms cut paid development roles. These aren't even really things the guild is trying to add—they're things that used to exist as a pipeline for writers moving up in seniority that they want to get back.
If you scab because you're bitter that you haven't been able to get a job, you're not only undermining the guild and setting yourself up to get barred from ever working in union writing circles, you're personally helping increase the likelihood that another strike is necessary next negotiation period by making it harder for the guild to combat the circumstances that have made it impossible for you to get staffed up until now.
This is important.
This is what people are.
We want to be useful, and we want to make people happy
Pay attention to this.
Motherfucker effortlessly whipped out a balloon animal while talking about entropy and looking like a regular contributor to the Washington Post. I wish him nothing but the best in life
"the writer's strike could stop the MCU from making new movies for months!" fuck dont dirtytalk me like that. it's only 9:34 am

"He came to the area known as Red Lake and tried his de-forestation BS, but Nanaboozhoo - The Greatest Ojibwe who ever lived - obviously wasn't having any of that. They got into a fight that lasted 3 days, and finally, our hero picked up a giant walleye and slapped the outlander silly with it. Paul got knocked on his ass in a mud puddle, so hard it left an imprint of his buttcheeks there in the wet ground... that's why the lake is shaped the way it is and why we were able to keep our forest."
Seriously just a bit of pollen could make your cat sick within a matter of minutes. Stay far away from Easter lilies if you have kitties!
Lilies, including the pollen, are FATAL to cats!
It’s nearing that time again. Remember, if you have a cat, don’t bring Easter lillies, or any in the same family, into your home!
Of all the plants people claim to be toxic to cats, this is THE plant to watch out for.
Poinsettias? potentially irritating sap, would need excessive doses to be toxic. Pothos? mildly irritating crystals in the leaves. Lilies? Organ failure.
Specifically, plants in the genus Lilium (Easter, Oriental, Tiger, Stargazer, etc etc) are the bad ones. Lily is a common name shared among a lot of different plants, some more or less toxic, but it’s the Liliums that are documented to be deadly to cats, specifically in causing kidney failure.
Amaryllis and Daffodils are other lily relatives that can be toxic, though not to the same level.
Daylilies (Hemerocalis) are unrelated plants but often listed as toxic (I’ve seen some debates from daylily people as to how true this is but better safe than sorry).
Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) is not actually a lily but is very toxic to humans as well as animals, though for different reasons than Liliums, causing cardiac issues.
Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum) are also unrelated and closer in the level of toxicity as a pothos, containing mildly irritating crystals but not deadly
Azalea/Rhododendrons are also a potential spring bloomer I would look out for, especially as I’ve seen a rise in popularity of the forced florist type azaleas this spring as an indoor pot plant. Ingestion can cause organ failure.
Vet tech here, this is all true. Do not bring lilies into your house this season if you have cats. Even if they’re ‘in a room where the cat doesn’t go’ or ‘the cat can’t reach it’. You want to know what owners tell me when they bring their cats in for lily ingestion treatment? The flowers were ‘in a room where the cat doesn’t go, but I went in there and then the phone rang so I left to get it, I only left the door open a minute’, and ‘they were up on top of the fridge where the cat can’t get, but it dropped some leaves.’ Just don’t risk it.
save the kitties!
This guy is really going to regret sitting down with Jon
he literally could not care less about what's being said here. this has always been a waste of time. just kill these people
They do not care about hypocrisy, about consistency, about facts, about truth.
They care about power.
They will say anything, believe anything, and do anything that gains more power for themselves or takes it away from others. Doing “gotcha” questions and logic-dunking on them doesn’t work, because they don’t care about being right, they care about having power. They engage in hypocrisy on purpose, as an act of domination over the fools who believe in things like truth and principles and integrity. Their willingness to override reality gives them power over people who believe reality matters. Trying to debate them is pointless. The only winning move is not to play. Shut them down and shut them out at every opportunity.

Yeah I'm just not doing that. I don't need the job that much.
comments by @autumntides :
It is illegal in the United States (violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (Title I and V)) to require a photograph or other image in a job application outside of direct unavoidable relevance (modeling and acting work).
"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission."
Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.
I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.
Right now in Weelaunee Forest. Unicorn Riot has a livestream going.
If you can, please donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to help support the many people that got arrested last night. Bail funds are unfortunately extremely necessary right now, since arrested Cop City protesters have been facing trumped up terrorism charges and bail amounts of hundreds of thousands of dollars each.

Spring.
Spring.
Spring.
Spring.
Spring.
Everytime this crosses my dash my eyes light up because I know my favourite part is coming. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring.
Just a reminder with spring on the horizon and gifts of flowers being more common, LILIES ARE TOXIC TO CATS!
And by TOXIC I mean even just a few pollen grains or the water from a vase holding cut lilies or even just biting into a stem or leaf can cause fatal kidney failure.
If you have cats, please keep true lilies (any plant from the genus Lilium) out of your home or garden
