[ID: a tweet by @/mapgar1986 saying,
Every time self taping comes up in SAG- AFTRA discussions I just remember that Lukas Gage clip where an unmuted director complained about having to look at "poor people in their tiny apartments"
/end ID]
[Video Description:
a recording of a self-taped zoom audition. Lukas Gage's screen is pinned, showing him in front of a small section of his apartment as he prepares to deliver his material.
Tristram Shapeero: [not pictured] "These poor people live in these tiny apartments, like, I'm looking at his- y'know, background and he's got his TV, and y'know-"
Gage: [pained expression] "Oof, yeah, unmuted-" "I know it's a shitty apartment, that's why- give me this job so I can get a better one." "Alright. Ready?"
Shapeero: "Oh my god I am so, so sorry, Lukas- [unintelligible] I'm so sorry."
Gage: [overlapping, jokingly] "No, it's totally-" "Listen, I'm living in a 4x4 box, it's fine, just give me the job and we'll be fine."
Shapeero: "No I'm- I'm mortified." [overlapping a burst of awkward laughter from another participant]

the like to reblog ratio being almost the same is so funny, people are NOT happy with at this update lmao
Okay, I hate job searching, but I do love applying to Catholic institutions
Where else are you going to see this?
most grocery stores will ask you this in the first interview

okay so decided to reverse image search and it's apparently a memorial to unborn babies lost during or immediately after pregnancy due to genetic defects (website says trisomy 18 specifically)
so as much as I love to make a joke on here, I'm going to retract my last comment and replace it with:
fuck you, that's absolutely ghoulish behavior to co-opt someone else's grief, strip it of context, and warp it's meaning to fit your personal beliefs i hope you die in a car fire
dodecabastard asked:
I was unsure who to ask so I went to probably the only blog I follow which is run by a strike member.
Amidst the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, what exactly can we as consumers do and not do in support of the unions? I can't find any good sources providing information so should we just help make the strike heard or is there stuff not to do?
neil-gaiman answered:
Right now the thing you can do the most is to vocally support the strike.
And spread the link to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports people in the Arts whose income has gone away – not just the strikers but all the people who cannot work because nothing is being shot or made.

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart
“No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”
This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.
[Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:
Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.
We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]
But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?

I was so inspired by this I made it into a piece of art for a final in one of my courses for storytelling in conservation
You are all lovely and kind and correct, but let’s also name the moth: Ceratophaga vicinella
I can’t find any information on how to promote or donate to moth conservation, but the tortoises are endangered, and support to habitat conservation in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi are a good way to help both the tortoises and the moth!

the crab day thing kind of proves staff must think we're all fucking idiots
hi there. tumblr as a website is currently operating at a deficit because nobody wants to pay for ad free browsing. this is because basic quality-of-life features are either nonexistent or malfunctioning, our staff refuses to take the most trivial of anti-hate speech measures despite demonstrating the tools to do so against minority bloggers, and every form of content moderation is heavily and transparently weighted against the LGBT community. as the people in charge, we have decided that we're going to ignore all of those factors and instead make an appeal to nostalgia to get you to buy dumb cosmetic bullshit for your dashboard while we threaten to turn the website into an even less functional twitter clone, much like how all the smartest shipwrights in the 1920s decided to model their new vessels after the RMS Titanic.
