Nothing but respect to the Dropout Fam! Throwing my hats to Mr. Reich! Who's ready for more UNHINGED and EXCELLENT content?????? Me!

Update on Dropout production (courtesy of @samreich)

From ThreadReaderApp:

Dropout is back in production. 🫡 Details below. 👇 As I mentioned, Dropout is not associated with the AMPTP, who negotiates on behalf of the majority of studios and streamers. But truthfully, there’s no such thing as a “struck company.” There are instead “struck contracts” and “not-struck contracts.” We assumed Dropout’s contract - the New Media Agreement for Non-Dramatic Programming - was struck because it wasn’t specifically on a list of non-struck contracts. After speaking at length with our lawyers and with SAG, turns out that is not the case. So, Dropout can return to business as usual. And because our shows were never struck, talent can go back to promoting their Dropout appearances. 🎉 SAG’s decisions are in part strategic. Small streamers like us continuing to work while the major streamers cannot gives us a competitive advantage and puts more pressure on them to make a deal. 😎 But make no mistake about it: We continue to support our striking performers and their cause. - Between Dropout and me personally, we have donated $20,000 to the Entertainment Community Fund. - If anyone doesn’t feel comfortable working with us or promoting their work during the strike for whatever reason, we respect that position. - While we already pay above minimums, we will continue to go above and beyond to reward and protect our performers *and* crew members, and plan to put even more of our money where our mouth is before the end of the year. Dropout fans, thank you for your support and solidarity during this uncertain time. Keep supporting the Entertainment Community Fund - - as well as the pet projects of your favorite creators. And with that, it’s back to work. ⛏️

Now that SAG is officially on strike alongside the WGA, remember:

No individual actor or writer is at fault if a project gets delayed or cancelled.

It’s all on the studios, networks, and streamers.

Hey just a reminder that the first rule of being friends with an artist is don't fucking ask for a discount.

[sunshine-and-symphonies]

My family has too many streaming services, many of which we rotate through canceling and renewing, or sharing with close friends but Dropout.TV is the ONE that I will die on a hill to protect any given month because of the incredible cast, crew, talent, and content they make. I stand with the unions! Please consider supporting if you can!

Its us? @idunnodudeijustwokeup

[sunshine-and-symphonies]

Well.. in light of recent events...

This aged interestingly.

if I ever got a twitter handle, it would NEED to not be related to me in any way because I would post stuff like.

"old white guys BAD" or "no mask because covid is a hoax? cool! just sign this form forgoing access to healthcare because the doctors and nurses don't need to deal with your clownery. thx sweeaty!"

And I really can't let future employers see that besties. I gotta be able to get my life together.

[sunshine-and-symphonies]

hey @idunnodudeijustwokeup;

Love you. That's it, that's the post.

Writing a fic of this proportion while also doing two degrees and working is truly a Sisyphean task. And yet...

Someone please help. this chapter is 3 big 5 me.

PSA for Switch owners

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.

To turn it off

go to the eShop

go to your profile where your funds and account info is

go down to the bottom of the page

there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”

select the Change

select “Don’t Share”

Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.

#im so done with big tech #accountable tech now please #my data is NOT your sellable commodity #digital age problems

It me.

Fanfic Authors who are ALSO your friend: "show me a scene idea and I'll write you a 300k epic before getting to that scene for you as a gift"

Normal authors: “show me a hero and I’ll write you a tragedy”

Fanfiction Authors: “show me a villain and I’ll write you so much smut”

#this is a call out post #to myself #my best friend tried to drag me into the dcu and mcu #too bad for them I jumped in head first #and became all of the above... in some way

[sunshine-and-symphonies]

me: what if... what if I finished my school work? my brain, sipping a juice box: hmmmmmmm.... have an unrelated idea for a fic instead. also no work today. *two weeks later, before finals but after all projects are due*

me: okay brain! I have lots of time, lets do some fic writing! my brain, now in a silk robe: no. Jail. Jail for a THOUSAND YEARS.

#I would like a new brain please #fanfic authors #writing problems #end of term vibes #too tired for this #I just wanna write and YET #Symposium will (hopefully) get updated soon #if my brain can GET IT TOGETHER #anyways hope y'all are doing amazing and drinking water

My School: You can have a week long break for mental health! Have a rest! Me: Hey! Thanks! Also my School: You're going to do an ENTIRE course in 5 days, and write three papers in tandem to the midterms and final you need to do! Enjoy your break! Me: What???????

Anyways, I am now one course, two midterms, a final, and 2 papers closer to this clownery being finished.
