BREAKING: Marvel Studios’ Visual Effects (VFX) Workers UNANIMOUSLY voted in favor of unionizing with IATSE in a labor board election.
This marks the first time a unit of solely VFX Workers has unionized with IATSE since VFX was pioneered nearly a half-century ago.
Oh really?
I’m depressed myself but if you honestly think you’d rather 🔫 yourself than get involved in politics?
Get the fuck out then. Let those of us who care do the work
If you honestly think there’s no material difference between Ds and Rs, you’re an idiot
TW: suicide
By the way, you all fundamentally do not understand the stakes: people are not afraid of your threats of fascism because they feel that their greatest relief would not be Biden, but death.
Have you been paying attention? Do you hear how people are talking about
@vaushbrain
He barely talks about either Vaush or Keffals, it ends up becoming a huge thing about crybullies (ironically, the very thing they tend to do)
@rico_rants
There’s a big difference between “these are things I won’t do” and “these are things I won’t allow you to do”
The former is setting boundaries, the latter is being controlling
@fdbckfdfwd
it’s why I left sg
i don’t think our country has the same framework that allows activism to affect change because of the cultural inertia caused by our laws
i honestly think these people are martyring themselves senselessly
protest isn’t worth it in sg
@KosokoJackson
Sigh, ok
Cabaret is supposed to start out not being unsettling. There is a gradual movement towards the creeping specter of fascism. With the Emcee in Joel Grey’s performance, he starts out as not quite right, but still passibly normal. With each scene, the discomfort 1/-

I once heard somebody refer to the three categories completely unironically in the Year of our Lord 2021 so he might be thinking that
@deepimpactcrier
Along with the fact that Carl made colonel while still probably only being 2 years into his military career
That kind of promotional speed means they’re running out of men bad

@vaushbrain
There are a lot of good points about how certain people use their identities to run cover for their bigotry
there’s such a huge irony in the fact that it’s happening in their clique too but that’s okay because they’re the right kind of minority

One thing about the culture is they’re extremely patriarchal and the counseling tends to reflect that, especially in older doctors. When I was seeking counseling for depression, the medical officer who did my intake said, “I don’t think you’re really depressed. Just be happier.”
@stacycay
This is where the anti-theist in me emergences because I do not believe any church sincerely believes in inclusion and acceptance
I’ve attended services in small country chapels and megachurches and the common denominator was always hatred of people like us
Religion is poison
@AlterIvan1
Oh gee, lemme see
My healthcare in my state covers all trans related procedures. Mandated by state government. Not the same in say, TX or FL.
It’s easier to get on Medicaid and other related welfare plans here than red states
@fayemikah
Oh yeah! Honestly, I would’ve gotten them sooner but life got in the way. Only issue I can think of is that they couldn’t go up to 800cc like I wanted, but 700cc was what could fit. We’re in talks about revision and possibly going bigger now that everything is stretched out
@KosokoJackson
You’re here for a good time. Willkommen has the lyric, “Leave your troubles outside!
So—life is disappointing?
Forget it!
In here, life is beautiful
The girls are beautiful
Even the orchestra is beautiful”
The show, and the Emcee are luring you into a state of comfort

becomes more and more apparent until we’ve reached “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” and oh dear god the funny little weird guy is a Nazi
It’s a metaphor for the complacency that allows a people and country to drift into fascism without even realizing it
