Wondering what happens when we reach the 2080s and radio stations finally have to change “the 80s, 90s, and today” to something that’s less ridiculous.
fuck “girl lunch” fuck “girl math” a woman is a hairy animal who sweats and grunts and excretes and hungers and gets wrinkly and dies eventually. you have to love that.
So did the trailer thingy for Percy Jackson magically solve the writers’ strike or something? What did I miss for everyone seemingly forgetting/deciding to ignore that now?
Appreciate the pro-union solidarity, but watching trailers is definitely not strikebreaking! While SAG-AFTRA (the actors’ union) does have a no-promo rule for its members during the strike, the no-promo rule does NOT apply the same way to fans (or, to make things a tad more confusing, the WGA/writers guild, who are free to talk about their work as long as it’s not at the studios’ request.)
The best way to support the unions right now is to boost their message on social media, correct misinformation, and donate to strike funds such as the Entertainment Community Fund and the Green Envelope Grocery Aid fund. Until such time as the unions actually ask for a boycott, we are not boycotting.
Also, if you’ve taken more than a high school economics course taught by someone who has never stepped foot in a college economics class,
Giving $500 to poor people multiplies it REALLY FAST. That $500 immediately goes into the economy and ripples more purchases until it hits a rich pocket.
Giving $500 to a billionaire takes $500 out of the economy permenantly. You could have set it on fire and made no difference.
That is such an important part of the conversation that rich people seem to purposefully misunderstand whenever it’s brought up
Money exists to be spent, not hoarded. Yes, people should have saving, but no one should be sitting on a pile of money too big to spend in a single lifetime. “The economy” as a concept only works if people are spending money, and the people hoarding the money are so quick to blame the people who barely have any when the economy starts to fail
Having a big string of numbers in an offshore account doesnt make you an economic genius, it makes you a parasite that is ruining the economy for everyone else
I’m really excited to share this little historical art/information I’ve been working on these last few days! A lot of research and love went into it ❤️
special thanks to my grandma and great grandma, as well as to my friend maya for stories about Tunis and Djerba 🇹🇳
