‘why are actors striking aren’t they all millionaires’ here’s a paywall free link to an article that mentions how most of the cast of one of netflix’s biggest shows had day jobs bc they couldn’t afford rent
remember that actors are usually not well off at all. forget the big screen famous guys, they’re the very few ones. this strike is for all the other ones, that deserve to have a livable paycheck for their job.
And a note to say that, had Orange is the New Black been on a not-streaming network which paid them residuals each time they screened the show the actors would have done fine or better than fine.
At the start of streaming rules were agreed to let these beginning ways of putting out stories over the web succeed and get established, and letting them not pay actors and writers traditional style residuals was part of what was agreed. They got established. They succeeded. The actors and the writers took the hit.
Streaming actors get screwed ten ways to Sunday. I’m still a part of the Union of BC Performers because I did work when I was young, and for a movie I was in when I was FIVE YEARS OLD, for around 30 SECONDS, in a movie that did poorly, I make more money in residuals than any of the leading actors in OITNB do for all of their hard work as adult professionals. It’s sick, quite frankly, and I for one can’t wait for the WGA and SAG to land lucrative contracts. There’s no way in hell I should get more on my quarterly checks than the talent who worked on a show like that. By the way, once my movie hit Netflix in about 2012, my checks got slashed in half.
Ruby Bridges is 68. This is not ancient history. Not even close.
I know Ruby. She’s a really nice person. The idea that they would try and write what she did as a girl out of history is shocking to me on so many levels, the simplest of which is just, but don’t they know how lovely she is?
Ruby was in Tucson, AZ last Thanksgiving. I wasn’t able to attend due to illness, but I appreciated the opportunity.
if you ever doubt your writing, be it your themes, or the reason behind it, remember that h.g wells wrote war of the worlds both as a commentary on colonialism and the horrors it brings, and because he fucking hated his neighbours and his 13 hour job, and wanted to write about the town in which he lived getting blasted to the fucking ground by lasers into an irreparable heap and all of the townspeople dying painfully
you, too, can channel your hatred for that guy that lives down the hall and blasts music at 4am into the one of the most influential science fiction stories ever written! fuck it! i believe in you!!
This is one of the most inspirational things I’ve ever seen
“dont die” is my favorite thing to tell people when they say theyre gonna go do something. going to the store? dont die. going to the bathroom? don’t die. going to Mars? don’t die. going to write an email? don’t die. driving to the gas station? don’t die. it fits every situation except for maybe a funeral visitation because then i think thatd be a little bit rude
I used to have a habit of saying “Have fun don’t kill anyone” whenever someone would leave. On the last day of an old coworker’s shift, as she stood in the doorway giving her final goodbyes, I got halfway though “don’t” before I remembered she’d just gotten out of prison as an accessory to murder. I do not say this anymore.
I love that he apparently got the job because he looked so pathetic that children truly believed he would be unable to solve puzzles created by a cartoon dog without their assistance.
kids really said “i can fix him”
im so thankful we got steve for when we did, it just, it was so nice to have someone not “conventionally attractive” because by the way he puts the heartthrob guy did it, no kid was gonna give that a watch, his ask was just “alright kids, im asking you an extra obvious question” while my memories with steve asking for help on the show, the asking felt GENUINE, like he genuinely wanted some help, which is rare for kids to be allowed to help out
hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)
the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.
the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.
i thought delaware was a place in ohio? why are there so many things named delaware?
delaware is too powerful
what the fuck
Wait what? I thought Delaware was a store with building supplies. Like paint, wood, nails and stuff?
THATS HOME DEPOT ???

delaware stole the presidents shoelaces for clout and became too powerful

I thought Delaware was that famous singer they spoofed in Zootopia.

I thought Delaware was that food delivery service that keeps interrupting youtube videos with their ads when I’m trying to have a good time

Isn’t Delawere the name of that one girl in the song that goes “Hey there, Delawere”? She’s from NYC or something.

Pausing here to point out that op is “dear-AO3″ and now I’m wondering if Delaware fanfic would be categorized as RSF (real state fic) or AU (alternate unitedstates)
stop i do not want to think about this
Isn’t Delaware that SPN ship that exploded the internet
Everyone on this post:
I love that the “no, that’s [x]” meme is making a comeback here and only here and nobody has any idea what’s going on
Keep up the good work, we can make poor OP have a melt down yet.
Isn’t delaware that one brand of pizza that’s like “it’s not delivery, it’s delaware.”
isn’t delaware the god of the sea
Isn’t Delaware the name of that guy who painted the Mona Lisa?
delaware is that one evil cyborg guy that has a son named Luke and a red laser sword
Thats Darth Vader. Im pretty sure Delaware is that other red-laser sword guy. You know. The one that stabbed Qui-Gon.
what have i created
I usually only reblog older posts, but this definitely deserves to be in every tumblr hall of fame
this post has only existed for 8 days.
This is fantastic because it goes great with my theory that Delaware only exists for tax purposes. Like, all the states really only exists for Tax Purposes, but Delaware is particularly fake because back in 2012 I got lost in the Alleged Delaware Area looking trying to get to a family reunion, but every time I pulled over for directions, I would ask what the hell state I was in now, and I went through Mayland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey AND Virginia and I never fucking found Delaware but I did eventually find the Family Reunion and earned the repsepct of my then-prospective- Great-Grandmother-In-Law by saving her favorite grandchildren from a furious oceangoing horse so I’m convinced that not only is the state a purely legal construct, they didn’t even dedicate any landmass to it, or it’s a gov’t blackzone where the carnivorous horses live.
World Heritage Post
