    “i wish i could do something 😔 / i wish the wga had a kickstarter or a gofundme, i would throw money at it” good news! it’s amazing how you can literally go onto the wga strike website or the wgawest linktree from their twitter and find links to support writers and other workers affected by the strike

    listen I say this with patience bc some people may genuinely have not thought about this before but if you firmly say “AI art is terribly unethical and steals from artists” (which is correct) but then turn around and use voice AIs to generate songs/voice lines that sound like your favourite voice actors or singers……………………………………that is also AI art and it is also terribly unethical

    CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it’s part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

    if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

    can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike

    a screenshot of a tweet from vox, reading: "A 10-day UPS strike would cost the economy more than $7 billion and be the costliest work stoppage in at least a century, according to a new study by Anderson Economic Group, which researches labor disruptions." below it is a link to vox's article, titled: "A UPS Strike? In This Economy?" the image attached to the link is of a picketer holding a brown, yellow, and white sign that is partially cropped. the sign reads: "JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST CONTRACT" behind the man is a large inflatable pig, dressed as a capitalist/exec holding a bag marked with a $ in one hand-- hoof-- and strangling a figure dressed like a ups driver in the other.ALT
    a screenshot of a tweet from @Left_Voice that reads: "A reminder that many UPS workers in New York, the country's most expensive city, earn just $15.50 an hour.   You can't pursue your passions when you can barely make ends meet. #StrikeReady" the tweet quoted below it is from the official ups twitter, reading: "College? Cooking? Entrepreneurship?  Our industry-leading pay & benefits allow our people to pursue their passions. From healthcare coverage, retirement pensions, tuition assistance... the list goes on. But, we'll let our people tell the story in their own words. ⬇" below that is a still from the video linked with ups' tweet, but it's been cropped.ALT
    a screenshot of a tweet from @BenFredericks, reading: "As a fired UPS working still trying to get my job back, I stand in full solidarity with the righteous fight for a $25/hour minimum starting wage, particularly for warehouse workers who bust their asses in sweatshop conditions.  #strike #Equality #25orStrike" the tweet quoted below is from @LuigiWMorris (who also tweeted the video of the practice picket from within the ups warehouse) reading, "UPS part-timers are ready to strike, and we are joined by other union and community members who are ready to stand in solidarity with us ✊🪧 @Teamsters @804_local" below is a group photo of members of Left Voice, the DSA and ALU, and the Teamsters. four people are holding up signs, two that are the same, reading: "JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST WAGE" the man in the center holds a sign that reads: "$25/HOUR MIN OR STRIKE" on the right side of the group a person wearing a hat is holding a sign over their head that reads: "REINSTATE FIRED WORKER ACTIVISTS UNCONDITIONALLY"ALT
    screenshot of a tweet that reads: "Love to see it 🪧 If UPS doesn’t meet our demands by August 1, it won't be practice anymore, and we will go on strike! Thanks for all the support and solidarity, we can hear and feel it from inside the warehouse. @Teamsters @Local804T" below it is a still from the video attached to the tweet, taken from inside the ups customer center and warehouse in canarsie, brooklyn, looking out onto the parking lot. a fence, the hood of a delivery truck, and a stoplight are partially obstructing the view of the 7/14/2023 practice picketALT

    i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster’s demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there’s a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.

    im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board… like A Lot of shit is about to go down

    we’re about to see a lot more propaganda by more than just hollywood, we’re about to see a lot of bullshit political moves on local, state, and federal levels. dont fall for it. workers have power.

    I guarantee you the studios are going through every outspoken actor’s files looking for something, anything to discredit them. Ron Perlman is probably undergoing the deepest background check of his life right now, thanks to Bob Iger.

    So brace yourself to hear some unsavory shit about your favorite actors in the next few weeks. Some of it might even be true. But that doesn’t change the righteousness of the cause or the truths they speak.

    There’s like 5 ridiculous things in a row that happen here

    - total non-translation of Optimus’s name from “jet convoy”

    - the entire autobot crew’s flat, confused, nearly disgusted reaction to optimus fusing with jetfire

    - *flies towards the camera with a single unanimated cel * “THEY POWERLINKED” * does so once more *

    - massively deformed, miscolored optimus with a decepticon logo going from standing to blasting in a single frame

    - “they don’t call him starscream for nothing”

    This show fuckin sucks I should rewatch it
