i hate the “on average a user only sees 25 posts per session so they have to be good and varied” bullshit on that staff post. if i open tumblr and the 25 posts i see are nothing but a single mutual mass reblogging their favourite thing that i couldn’t care less about. well. that’s what i enjoy
If my beloved mutual needed to reblog a thing 25 times then by all things sacred I am going to read it once and then scroll past it 24 times as they intended me to!
AU where Aziraphale threw a coin into a wishing well and asked to find a friend. The next time he picked up the bucket there was a small black-red snake inside, which just might be more than a regular snake.
y’all should watch supernatural because thor the norse god is there and he looks like this

I thought it was an honest trolling attempt and I respected you for it tbh.
Me, before reading the rest of the post:
ROMEO + JULIET (1996)
dir. Baz Luhrmann
@saint-batrick it's your boy
i have not witnessed a better mercutio in my LIFE.
Shein is going down for being an organized criminal organization. Actors and Writers are striking. Student Loan debt relief may actually go through after all. Jack Smith is closing in on Trump, and all signs point to him dying in prison. Billionares are dying in ignoble and humiliating ways. Please God keep this ball rolling, it almost feels like the first taste of justice in about as long as I can remember.
everything about sith!obi-wan in codywan fics is generally so great bc, you have this man who's been abandoned by everything he has known, has been driven through hell and back that he's forcibly pushed into the dark side, and he meets ONE (1) tired, cranky, marshal commander who's face isn't even his own, with warm brown eyes and an almost-smile that makes him feel something incomprehensible, and obi-wan goes down the rabbit hole thinking abt morality again, thinking about everything good in life because this one clone would do anything for the republic, anything for the jedi, anything for his brothers even if it meant sacrificing his own life. Obi-Wan is literally having a mid-life crisis because he's thinking about going back to the light. Meanwhile, Fox, Wolffe, Bly, and Rex are all screaming at Cody and burning down 79's because he's tumbling in the sheets with a dark side user— really cody what were you thinking? And cody, sweet angel spin kicks and punches a droid cody, is just, "oh i think we're actually boyfriends :/ he's been giving me word about what they plan on doing next, and also he accidentally confessed that he loved me while i was making him scream so uh"
In case you missed it, SAG-AFTRA just finished up a press conference where they talked to union members and the press about what's up.
Here are the big things (that I remember):
You will see articles from the studios, saying "we are offering SO MUCH MORE MONEY!!!"
They'll look like this (this list is bouncing around on a few pro-studio news sites):
...etc.
The headlines will say things like,
AMPTP Responds To SAG-AFTRA Strike: “Union Has Regrettably Chosen A Path That Will Lead To Financial Hardship For Countless Thousands”
They will try to talk about all the crewmembers who will be out of work while the strike is on, to try to draw public attention away from the very angry shareholders who are going to be upset with their quarterly returns if the strike lasts more than a couple of weeks.
What's missing from the AMPTP's list?
...and so on.
Trust the union when they say "their offer is garbage."
AMPTP is offering a lot of things that are not what was asked for. They are refusing to address the actual list of demands, which are "job security and better working conditions," not "higher pay for the jobs where we were paying so little in the first place that we can easily afford a 60% increase."
(Anytime an offer includes a more-than-50% raise, you have to wonder how terrible the pay is to start.)
If you're not in the industry, you don't know how good or bad an increase in "High Budget SVOD foreign residuals" is. If you are in the industry... you may not know how to balance that against the other things on the list of demands. That's why the union has people in charge of negotiating, so that individual actors aren't stuck trying to figure out "which of these bullet points are relevant to my career? Which are relevant to my friends? Which are only relevant to like 100 people across the entire industry but the numbers sound big?"
"Support unions" means "trust the negotiators to know what they're doing." If they say the offer is insulting, believe them. Don't be fooled by the studios' list of "look at all the CAKE AND COOKIES we have in this banquet!!! ...Please ignore the fact that there's no actual food here."
people are fighting over tipping culture in america on twitter and so many europeans are trying to explain why stiffing your server is praxis, actually
and it reminded me of the time I was working outside the 9/11 memorial and a european tourist came up to yell in my face at like 8am that we should all be ashamed of ourselves for charging admission to a museum of a national tragedy and when I said we depended on the money to stay open he screamed some more in my face about what a shameful disgusting government I had that wouldn’t subsidize the museum as though I personally set it up that way, and I had to eventually respond “sir, I haven’t been able to afford to see a doctor in 10 years you think I like this system???” and he just stomped away still yelling me I was a shameful person for this, the ticketing system I had no say in and also thought was outrageously expensive
anyways, just want to throw out there that if your only means of protesting an unjust system is to shit on the victims of that system then you’re not a moral crusader you’re just an asshole dressing up your assholery, pretending your cruelty is for a greater good. Tip 20% (or more!) when you eat out in america, it’s really that simple.
SIR THIS IS A SHARED BATHROOM FUCKING HELL YOU’VE BEEN IN THERE FOR 30 MINUTES PLEASE FINISH
