Sexual Identity: Arcane Cowboy

people are fighting over tipping culture in america on twitter and so many europeans are trying to explain why stiffing your server is praxis, actually
and it reminded me of the time I was working outside the 9/11 memorial and a european tourist came up to yell in my face at like 8am that we should all be ashamed of ourselves for charging admission to a museum of a national tragedy and when I said we depended on the money to stay open he screamed some more in my face about what a shameful disgusting government I had that wouldn’t subsidize the museum as though I personally set it up that way, and I had to eventually respond “sir, I haven’t been able to afford to see a doctor in 10 years you think I like this system???” and he just stomped away still yelling me I was a shameful person for this, the ticketing system I had no say in and also thought was outrageously expensive
anyways, just want to throw out there that if your only means of protesting an unjust system is to shit on the victims of that system then you’re not a moral crusader you’re just an asshole dressing up your assholery, pretending your cruelty is for a greater good. Tip 20% (or more!) when you eat out in america, it’s really that simple.

This is exceedingly common. Cops will shoot their own dogs, then use their deaths as copaganda.
The vast majority of police dogs “killed in the line of duty” are killed by the cops themselves.
Cops also kill an average of 25 pet dogs every single day, per Justice Department statistics. Frequently these dogs are shot and killed while children are present.
Dogs and cops do not mix.

THIS SEEMS RELEVANT TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY HERE. THE SAG IS ASKING THAT COSPLAYERS DON’T COSPLAY CHARACTERS FROM STRUCK STUDIOS AD IT HELPS PROMOTE THEM. IT’S GETTING REAL, PEOPLE.
[image ID: screenshot of an email titled “SAGAFTRA STRIKE” to: SAGAFTRA CC: Alba. The email has the header, “Re: Further clarification for content creators.” The text of the email says, “We are asking folks not to do cosplay if it would promote struck productions. Yes, you can promote comics, books, and games, as this is not struck work. That being said, performers are being asked to refrain from promoting struck work, including past productions that would have been struck if produced today.” end ID.]
Update July 18: The tweet that posted these emails have been deleted and SAG-AFTRA has released new guidelines, please read here
These emails currently circulating apply to paid influencers, not most fandom creators
These emails have the potential to cause a lot of misinformation and harm among fandom communities, because this communication was never meant to escape the SAG-AFTRA influencer membership bubble, but has since spread to corners of fandom it doesn’t apply to. Fanart/fanfic (and hobbyist/fan cosplay) isn’t scabbing unless the studios are paying for it (or you’re actively promoting them at a con—that could also be seen as free marketing, so if applies to you, consider contacting SAG-AFTRA about it or waiting for further guidance).
tl;dr If you’re not an influencer making money off influencing, or in partnership with a struck studio, this communication likely doesn’t apply to you.
We’re hoping SAG-AFTRA communicates clearer guidelines for fans in the future, but as of right now it looks like this email does NOT apply to fans unless you’re doing promotional work for the studios.
