Hope the execs at Universal Pictures get absolutely fucked by all the fines and fees for damaging the trees at the picket line to sabotage the strikes. 🙏🏻
Tumblr is unique bc like. It’s collaborative shitposting and you can’t opt in or out. You can just say something about your day then an evil wizard shows up to turn your post into something humorous
Every other site is just one and done, but here a post is a welcome mat to be funnier than you
yeah or sometimes you’ll see a post that hacks into your brain and forever rewrites your instinctual reaction to seeing a pineapple explode
somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale”, as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I’m not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
y'know, this is a great way for newer activists to start learning how real coalition building works and how demanding purity is the poison that kills movements in the cradle.
oh seems very suspicious to see the barbie movie tumblr pop up on my dash after the strike. maybe it was made before, but I’m actually seeing it now
remember:
there’s no boycott on going to see new media
but there is a promotional blackout
don’t do the studio’s marketing work for them
I just checked their archive. They created it Today, July 17th.
prior to the strike they did not have an official tumblr lmaoooo
don’t reblog their shit
Okay, people:
The promotional boycott is for SAG-AFTRA members or potential future members only (not supporters) and specifically refers to promotional work which is organised in partnership with, paid for by, or otherwise compensated by struck companies. If you’re not a union member, you can still reblog memes or bug your friend to watch your favourite show or whatever. Do what makes you happy.
Supporters have not been asked to boycott media by struck companies, and some union members have actually urged supporters to continue purchasing, consuming, and otherwise supporting media from struck companies, especially new releases, as this shows the companies that the union talent is valuable and worth the demands the union is making. Members still want their projects to succeed and be popular. It gives them more leverage.
That being said, don’t make brands comfy here please. If you’re excited about Barbie, that’s great (me too) but lean in to the community collaboration and discussion that thrives here on tumblr dot com, and avoid providing brands with direct engagement. Engage with user-created content instead.
Please don’t abuse the poor person that runs the blog though, either.
