much like the minotaur I am a creature in some sort of situation

words of power do exist…. i can walk out of my apartment wearing the most fuck shit, e.g. swim trunks as shorts w a zipped up hoodie and no shirt underneath, and just say the words “laundry day” and suddenly it’s way less weird

“laundry day” spell: decreases target’s judgment of outfit by 80%

I picked up a banana print shirt in Vietnam - were talkin LOUD - and the first time someone commented on it I said “It’s banana shirt friday” which stunlocked them and blocked any followup questions.

Turns out that saying “it’s banana shirt friday” enough actually created a holiday at my office where everyone would wear fruit print clothes on fridays! So yes, words of power exist. :)

Spell of Banana Shirt Friday

future archaeologist: these people must have done this for ritual purposes
the ritual in question: banana shirt friday

The beef between night owls and early birds is so silly. We complete each other. Evolutionary-speaking, wouldn’t it be useful to have people naturally alert at dawn to watch for saber tooth tigers and people alert at midnight watching for like, wolves?? Keeping us safe with internal clocks set to random.

All times of the day are beautiful.

🥺 that's actually very sweet.

Amen to that little dude

When food so good you see god

Transcendent in my tummy

Rise of the Pink Ladies was nominated for choreography Emmy this week. You cannot legally watch an Emmy-nominated show because god forbid the studio has to pay workers for it—that’s the state of the industry with streaming right now. That’s why SAG and the WGA are striking.

Implicit storytelling in two tweets:

Yeah. They did that. I bet the ‘clarification’ came as a result of some strong legal threats.

So be aware in the coming weeks that if your favorite actor reportedly says something shitty about the strike that makes your blood boil? Check the sources. There’s going to be a lot of uh, spin in the news.

Just saw a Barbie ad here for the first time. It is starting, folks. They must already be desperate if they're buying ad space on TUMBLR.

Do not reblog official marketing or ads from struck works

including (but not remotely limited to) Barbie. They are advertising here because their actors are on strike and will not promote their products.

Barbie is not a struck work. It is okay to reblog barbie content. It's done and finished. Going to premiers for it is crossing the line. But going to the regular ass movie is not.

Read me and read me good: not seeing Barbie is a great way to show execs that we don't care about writers and actors.

Let me say that again: going to see Barbie is GOOD for the strike. Many people who WORKED on barbie are striking. They probably have not been paid yet.

The unions HAVE NOT asked us to picket the movie. Just the premier.

The original post is disinformation.

I believe it to be coming from a good place but avoiding works that are NOT being struck is genuinely harmful to the cause.

Also, the Barbie movie has been advertised on tumblr for a while now...waaaaay before the SAG-AFTRA strike was even being talked about (at least publicly). Idk if I was seeing official ads for it or if it was fan content before the writers' strike started too...

Also: actors and writers are on strike and cannot do official promotional material. Marketing and promotional professionals are not on strike and can continue to do their jobs as normal, except they cannot set up interviews/con appearances/etc for the people who are on strike. People who watch movies are not employed by the studios unless y'all have made some kind of deal no one told me about, and therefore are also not on strike and therefore cannot cross the picket line.
