Plenty of y'all fans in the Watcher fandom really gonna just gloss over the fact that you were vile to these people just a few days ago.

#watcher #yeah I'm still pissed at how many people dogpiled Steven #and Ryan to a lesser extent #and now act like they never did any cyberbullying #these are actual fucking people guys #they may have made a bad business decision #but that doesn't mean they made a morally bad one #christ alive

what we’re not gonna do is point fingers at shane, ryan, or steven. they make decisions together for the betterment of the company they built with each other.

#stop making shitty headcanons demonizing steven 🫶 #watcher #watcher tv #the fact that so many people are quick to demonize steven and infantalize shane is... so fucking not a good look #can y'all stop with the racism? #and now ppl are pivoting from blaming steven to blaming ryan #this is so fucking exhausting

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

#dinosaur #evolution #comic #prehistoric #animal #wildlife #paleontology #biology #poetry #comics #archaeopteryx has no direct living descendants i know #but i wanted something aerial and the dinosaur to bird connection is classic and well known anyway #also the chicken over any other bird is very on purpose

Putting this comment on here because I feel like I’m actually going insane…

It seems like nobody in the comments even watched the video, complaining about how paying for content is difficult in this economy, like, that's why they are doing this! They cannot continue to make the content they want for free based on ads and sponsors alone. If you have paid attention to the "Making Watcher"s of recent years, their company is not, and has not been profitable. They are so dependent on advertisers for funding that it is becoming a restriction to the content they want to make (y'a know, like Buzzfeed was), so they had to find a solution. I don't know why you all seem to think you are entitled to free content, I understand not everyone can afford it but Watcher doesn't owe you content personally. Frankly, I doubt they wanted to put their content behind a paywall, but if it's that or not make content at all, of course they are going to try to find a solution. So no, they aren't "turning into Buzzfeed” because the massive problem with Buzzfeed was its restrictions on creative freedom and exploitation of its workers. If Watcher wants to produce fulfilling content that gives their editors, designers, producers, etc full creative freedom and a livable wage, this is the best option. If you want them to pay their workers the bare minimum and tailor their content to advertiser interests just so you can watch it for free, that's fine. Just don't pretend that they are some evil media mega-corporation and you are the anti-capitalist shining hero for saying it. You don't have to like it, and you don't have to continue to support them, but don't try to shame and demonize them for making an already difficult decision.

Many of you DO have an understanding of the difficult position our current economic system puts people in because you have experienced it, but you are so unable to extend that understanding beyond your own point of view. Look past yourself for a moment and think critically, and maybe you will understand their perspective. Much love for all of the talented people within Watcher who are doing their best.

And just to add, their format going forward is almost IDENTICAL to CollegeHumor-Dropout's streaming service format (even down to the free premieres and advocating for sharing accounts with friends), which most people praise to high heaven as "the only ethical streaming service." As a huge fan of both companies the stark difference in response here is actually astounding...

#watcher #watcher entertainment #watcher tv #i'm not saying $6 isn't a lot for many people #it is #but to act like Watcher made this decision based on greed when they're trying to pay all their team living wages?? come on #ofc i also dont think the watcher catalog is extensive enough to warrant the price #so it's a bad situation all around

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

~STL COPS CRASH INTO GAY BAR, ARREST ONE OF THE OWNERS~

- STL cops were apparently speeding and swerved into a gay bar (Bar:PM) at 12:30 am on Monday. Cops originally said they were trying to avoid a dog, but later footage showed no dog. Surprise, cops changed their story once that footage was out.

- 1 co-owner was upstairs (where he and his husband live), heard the cruiser smash into the building, and then went downstairs to investigate. Cops asked his ID and he refused (rightly so because wtf? Cops crashed into HIS building and they don't even ask if anyone is okay? They just immediately go to asking for ID??). He immediately got put in handcuffs for refusal to show ID. (He wasn't arrested).

- Other co-owner (married to the first co-owner) was recording and taking pics on his phone while yelling (because duh a car is inside his building/home??). Cops noticed and allegedly charged at him. Co-owner said he put his arm out in self-defense because someone who just crashed into his home is now charging at him. Cops said the co-owner struck a cop with an open hand. This co-owner is arrested, charged with a felony (assaulting an officer) and a misdemeanor, and held without bail.

- At some point, one of the co-owners said one of the cops used a homophobic slur.

What a fucking shit show. Should've had the cops tested for alcohol ASAP but of course that didn't happen. Hope the bar owners get lawyered up because this sounds like a slam dunk case against the cops. But it's STL so who knows what will happen?🫠

Here is a news story discussing how footage is apparently disproving a lot of the cops' claims.

UPDATE - Just now it seems the charges are being reduced to 2 misdemeanors instead of 1 misdemeanor and 1 felony and that the co-owner will be released. (Obviously that's still not ideal but better than what it was before.)
