I’d best be seeing that anti JKR energy for this twilight show too bc Smeyer continuing to profit off the Quileute tribe is not cute
I keep seeing people on Twitter being all “I’m sure they’ll be more respectful and mindful of the Quileute tribe this time around.”
Except, they won’t be. Even if they get actual Native American actors to play these characters, even if they bring on a Native American to serve as a cultural advisor, it wont matter. Why? Because Smeyer appropriated a real Native American tribe and twisted their culture and history in her fantasy books for her own profit.
This fictional Quileute Tribe is and always will be disrespectful to the real life Quileute tribe.
The Quileute Tribe is still taking donations to move out of the immediate tsunami zone as of April 2023. Instead of directing attention to this TV series if/when comes out (and even if it doesn’t honestly), please consider supporting the tribe financially here if you can afford it.
Great news, SAG-AFTRA has created an influencer hub for anyone trying to figure out what they should or should not be doing as a person who makes things on the internet during the strike.
Bad news, I have already SEEN WITH MY OWN TWO EYES people in fandoms I talk about and participate in spreading misinformation that these guidelines are only for union influencers. This is not true, it’s for all of us.
Solidarity in this case looks like no organically talking about, cosplaying from, accepting brand deals to promote works from struck companies. I am begging, covered in blood and sweat, I have run all the way here I have been running for years, listen to the official union sources and act accordingly or be prepared for the people who make those things you love to view you quite differently.
Transphobes aren’t attacking bathrooms randomly. It’s not about protecting women and children, it’s about preventing trans people from participating in public life.
Access to toilet facilities are essential to being able to participate in public life.
It’s why society was so reluctant to introduce public bathrooms for women, because before that all public bathrooms were for men only.
It’s why society was so reluctant to desegregate toilets for Black people.
It’s why society was and is so reluctant to create disability-accessible bathroom stalls.
If a person can’t access a toilet, then it’s extremely difficult to impossible for them to participate in society.
So, the best way to exclude a group of people from society without putting up a literal sign saying “x group of people not allowed” is to prevent them from accessing the bathroom.
Almost 10 years ago, I had the idea of a fan fiction about an unarmed Gaara. An attempt was made on Kazekage init, in which is chakra channels were injured and he lost the ability to control sand. I rarely, but did sketches on this story, but I never wrote it. Just recently, I wanted to do it again and I made a drawing of Gaara again. I really like how my perception of the character has matured at this difficult moment. Literally in the past case, Gaara looked like he was thinking: “What am I without sand?”. Now he says, “I’m without sand, so what? I’ll find another way out.”
PS: I found a way for you to pay commissions via paypal! I know that my first method was very inconvenient. Yes, Paypal is still not working for us. But now there is a website “Boosty” in which you can donate any amount through paypal. You don’t even need to register on this site. I will simply send you a link to the donation, where you can pay the cost of the commission through paypal. I am insanely glad!
FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.
we need to go back to hating tumblr. no more hellsite (affectionate). don’t even think of giving these clowns your money. if i see you with a checkmark next to your name i’m opening fire
by the way, it’s real bold of hollywood to be like “the writers and actors have unrealistic expectations, but WE know what we’re doing” when they got tricked into releasing morbius in theaters a second time.
everyone’s like wehhhhh why doesn’t doctor house gets suuuueeed! like my man. literally every patient he sees is someone that’s been trying to find a diagnosis for ages. i could live with a little medical malpractice if it were coming from someone ready to break into my home to look for allergens and not simply half heartedly listen to me before suggesting I lose weight and take ages of back and forth arguing to order a single test
“it’s medical malpractice” have u ever been a doctor? most medicine is malpractice. let the man limp around chewing vicodin doing 50 invasive tests please
Once Taub (derogatory) derisively said about a patient with unexplained chronic pain “7 doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with him, what does that mean?” and House replied without even thinking “it means they’re idiots” and proceed to work his ass off to diagnose the patient Taub wanted to write off as a faker or something. If a doctor had said that when that patient was ME, I wouldn’t dream of suing them in a million years
