WHY THEY STRIKE: Ke Huy Quan (SAG), 2023 Winner of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once

Roughly 87% of members earn less than the minimum requirement of $26,000 yearly, making them ineligible for health coverage through the union. The studios’ refusal to pay union members a living wage and share their streaming revenues via residuals has made this a difficult ask for performers nationwide. For reference, “in most jobs, that [amount] would be considered a part-time job,” according to SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher.

Why would you hide that in the notes

I want an ice maker and enough room in the freezer for a pizza and that is IT.

I want the dumbest fridge you got. Gimme the orange tabby of refrigeration. I want my fridge to pull the wrong lever and turn my enemies into llamas instead of killing them. I want the following features: keeps things cold, has compartment that keeps things colder, a door that opens and shuts.

“Here at Stupid Jeff’s Dumb Appliance Warehouse we sell the dumbest fucking appliances. Check out this fridge. This fridge won’t ask you about your day, this dumb fucking fridge doesn’t know what an Elon Musk is and won’t fucking tell you what bullshit that dumb monkey is slapping into his phone today when you try to get some fucking milk. We took out all those "smart” electronics and in their place we put a loaded Glock 9mm that is put right up to that light that turns on when you open the door, which is the smartest thing in this fucking stupid fridge and let me tell you that fucker is on thin goddamn ice, if it gets too smart and tries to turn on before you open that door, the Glock will blow it to hell. Speaking of ice, this stupid fridge makes it. It makes ice, it keeps things cold, it comes with shelves. It’s sturdy enough that when your ex comes back to your place looking for their stuff that they think they left behind like nine months ago and they know that you don’t have it, but they wanted an excuse to come start a fight with you and throw a chair at your head but miss you and hit your fridge MICHAEL, this fridge will keep trucking because it gives zero shits and it only lives to keep things cold. Come to Stupid Jeff’s Dumb Appliance Warehouse, if you ask us if we have an app, we break your kneecaps.“

some time ago i introduced the phrase “food pact” to my friends as a shorthand for “i’ll go make and eat food if you also make and eat food” and ever since then ive just started incorporating more pacts into my life. stay hydrated pact. stretch break pact. stop doomscrolling and go to bed pact. we need to bring this back in vogue more people should be making pacts imo

the best part of this is when you ask “who wants to do a shower pact” and you get a half dozen friends all rolling up saying “the pact is sealed”. faustian behavior

my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him

normal 7 year old with religious trauma: oh no god can hear my thoughts and punish me

me: either you are wrong about god or god is wrong and i will fight him and i will be the one to find out

me at 7: he would not fucking say that

Some of y'all have never talked to an actual sex freak into weird shit irl and it shows. I promise you you’re not a deeply perverse kinkster for liking spankings. I promise you have barely scratched the tip of the ice berg if your biggest kink is getting hand cuffed or collecting monster dildos.

And i don’t mean this in a judgemental way! It’s great to like those things! I’m just tired of kink Tumblr acting like the only acceptable kinks are the less ugly, less disgusting, nice and presentable kinks and fetishes and everything weirder gets kink shamed to hell and back. People into things you’ve deemed gross or too risky or weird to the point of being unsexy are, at the very core, your fellow kinksters and y'all need to stop being weird about them just because their interests got a bad reputation or are even less socially acceptable

Honestly. I think muting and filtering are such great tools and I want to see more positivity for it. There’s so many “I would never mute the tags of my beloved mutuals’ interests” posts around here but like. Please mute tags that I post that you are not interested in. YOU are why I tag everything so precisely, because I want you to be have a good time on my blog and use the filters.
