Hey yeah in the midst of all the hype and the strikes, can we PLEASE fucking talk about this

Just want to add that this is standard industry practice, and is determined by the studios. I’m not defending it, it’s a problem. But this isn’t a ā€˜Christopher Nolan’ problem, or an 'Oppenheimer’ problem, or even just a 'Universal’ problem. This is an industry problem.

do you all remember in the early 2010s where people were talking about freeing the nipple and that mixed-gender sports should become a thing and the removal of period tax and all of that and then some people realised that would mean trans people too ans they instantly decided to revert to bioessentialism 101 and now i have to see grating sentences like Well maybe jeopardy should be gender-segregated because males have a biological advantage in pressing a button

I had a class called ā€œWhat is Evil?ā€ The professor called us his ā€œevil studentsā€ and I got to say things like: ā€œI have evil class later.ā€ and ā€œI have readings in evil to do.ā€ and ā€œWell my evil professor saidā€¦ā€

I miss having that class

[ID: tumblr reply on this post reading ā€œmy partner did a sociology degree and one of the modules was on organised crime. very funny to see stuff like "anyone doing organised crime this afternoonā€ in a uni groupchat"]

hater-of-terfs:

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn’t have to read a subtitle that’s obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what’s going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren’t perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

outtathinairstudio Do you get royalties for Strawberry Shortcake or Care Bears?  I don't and I never did. I signed a WORK for HIRE agreement when I began my job at American Greetings. Back in the 70s. As far as I know no one on staff got royalties. Independent freelancers sometimes did. I supplement my Social Security with what I make from my art. When my husband died in 2018 after a long and horrific period I lost most of my Retirement money and was in debt. I relaunched my studio under Outta Thin Air.  I am now out of debt and was able to build a #TinyStudio. I appreciate all the patrons have purchase my art merch.  My personal selling site outtathinairstudio.com  #QAndASeries  My plan is to add to this series as the questions continue to pop up.ALT


Muriel Fahrion, the creator of Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears, was under a work for hire contract when she created them and as a result has received no residuals over the last 40+ years. If you like either of those properties, consider purchasing something from her website. She has art and cute jewelry!

Help me save my smile!!

Hey everyone, I’m facing a dental nightmare and need communal help! I’ve been hit with a hefty bill that is just not realistic for me to pay on my own given my current financial situation. I’m just super stressed that I’ve been doing pretty okay financially up until this point. Poverty is evil in the sense that it’s expensive and we’re always one emergency away from homelessness. The first pic gives more detail on the situation. If you could find it in your hearts to d0nate that’d mean the world to me as I really am stressed about picking between my health and paying rent this month because if this.

You can d0nate through the following avenues:

PP: PayPal.me/amirahaa

V: @Amira-Hasib

CA: $AmiraArima

Hopefully, together we can raise $1500 by Aug 15 to ensure I get treatment before things get bad

I am eternally grateful for the community I’ve been a part of on this website as you guys inspire so much kindness within me. If you can’t donate a share is free ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

Thank you ā¤ļø

$355/$1500 ā¤ļø

HELP A BLACK TRANS WOMAN PAY FOR A MONTH OF RENT 

reposting this because my last one died and this is urgent!!!

story: my mom became aware of my transition several months ago and for a while didn’t tell my dad, who is incredibly transphobic. because of this my living situation was tense but amicable.

but when she learned about my estrogen and progesterone treatment (because of the changes in my body), she told my dad.

the backlash is pretty much what i expected. since she told him (a couple weeks ago) he has threatened me, checked my social medias, and is now trying to take away my medication. he even threatened to go to the pharmacy to pick up my medication himself with the pure intent of throwing it away.

needless to say, my home is no longer a safe living space. with florida’s recent treatment of transgender people, i feel there is nothing to do beside try find a safer living space. fundraising goal will go toward rent as well as any payments needed to move into a place where i can live with my girlfriend and roommates. any donations are appreciated, as are shares. everything counts.

goal: $800
