#i was in A GUILD

[piinfeathers]

just in case anyone missed this in the news or maybe not in the loop, Disney is currently refusing to meet with or acknowledge the newly formed animation production workers union that just voted to join IASTE and become an official part of TAG, the animators and animation artists guild

production workers across all studios are currently voting to be recognized for their hard work and invaluable skill at keeping these productions running, but studios are refusing to meet with them to let them negotiate deals or even exist

as someone who works in animation as a designer i know i wouldn't be able to do my job at all without any of my production workers. they are the incredibly hard working people who oversee pretty much everything in animation. they make sure everything is running on time, that schedules are being followed, they have to know pretty much every single word of the scripts and beats from the storyboards to make sure nothing is missed, and most importantly, they make sure artists are being taken care of and not overworked. they really are the unsung heroes of the animation world

production workers are also by far the most exploited workers in animation currently. they make about a fraction of what artists make for just as much work put in, and currently have no agreement for health coverage or other benefits that artists protected by the union are guaranteed

BUT! there is some good news. right now there's a petition on IATSE's website that has over 80,000 signatures currently addressed to disney leadership to do the right thing and meet with this new union and recognized their vote to form. it still needs roughly 21,000 signatures and only takes a minute to sign! anyone with a zip or postal code can sign, meaning both US and Canadian residents can sign and help this union get the deal it deserves!!

Imagine actually being so evil that you'd rather make sure your writers suffer financially instead of just paying them the pay they deserve. Hell truly has some seats reserved already, holy shit.

#writers guild of america #wga #wga strike #i stand with the wga #would love to know what studio that dude works for #just for reasons you know #like we seriously need that actors strike now #truly screw over hollywood if they willing to do this

bitches will say they got into clown college on their own merit and like their parents facepaints aren’t on eggshells in the lobby of the new library

#@everyone taggi g this with Discworld #yes that is where I learned about this but it is an actual practise in the real world too #hence why I said clown college not guild

[abnerkrill]

i hope everyone knows that the last wga strike was ~100 days and it's a pretty common phenomenon for strike support to tank after a month or two when it feels like it's dragging on and some writers and talk show hosts are crossing picket lines and trying to "return" to "normal" because of people's livelihoods etc when they're really just scabs. sure hope that we keep that in mind and are prepared for the long haul and aren't just in it while it's convenient for us <3

#wga #wga strike #if you read that day-by-day history on twitter i shared earlier today you will see #that studio support went from 4% to 7% during the strike according to some polls #and support for the guild went down #but we wouldn't do that to them would we :) would weeee :)))))

Huh.

So I randomly remembered Croc is pretty much Italian.

#if Buggy had wheels he'd go Chop-Chop Car #this might be the stupidest thing I put effort in #Anyway I love them #One Piece #Cross Guild #Dracule Mihawk #Sir Crocodile #Crocodile One Piece #Buggy the Clown #OP Spoilers #One Piece Spoilers #just to be safe #in greek we say the same thing but use “scooter” instead #which is arguably dumber #Mihawk doesn't think highly of Buggy he's just guessing the wasted potential #nnobodiusart

Production houses: but if the writers stay on strike we can't guarantee the future safety of your favorite shows 🥺🥺😭😭

Viewers who 1, have already lost their favorite shows because they were cancelled in spite of good ratings and good reviews or 2, have stopped watching new content entirely until the entire series has aired and concluded as a result of so many good shows getting cancelled on cliffhangers and thus leaving said viewers unable to gain closure with those characters and with a hollow viewing experience, so they've begun a, watching older shows they know came to a planned conclusion or b, revisiting their old favorites and enjoying the nostalgia or c, reading new books or fanfic instead: YOU ALREADY CAN'T GUARANTEE THE FUTURE OF OUR SHOWS SO GET FUCKING WRECKED AND PAY WRITERS WHAT THEY DESERVE!

#wga strike #support the strikes #writer's strike #writers guild of america #writers guild strike #edit; well this blew up a little #i just wanted to add that all our favorite shows are absolutely nothing without their writers #the bare freaking minimum is that those writers get paid a liveable wage #they are so underappreciated even though tptb would have nothing without them #a living wage is the bare freaking minimum pay them what they're worth for the work they do

Thoughts from David Slack on 'AI' and copyright

[prima-donna-worm]

y’all cannot seriously be mad that the people with the most leverage are withholding their labor in solidarity with the people with the least leverage thereby giving them actual bargaining power like do you guys understand what a union is or nah

#if I see one more millionaires want more money 🙄 take on the strike I’m gonna lose it #sag strike #wga strike #this is literally just the premise of a guild. be so for real

[astonishment-and-dread]

Stand with the entertainment unions to the end

I am frankly unwell #The things I've been posting on my sideblog are absolute unhinged
