You know, I’ve been thinking about the writer/actor strike in Hollywood, and like, I love it. I really do. They absolutely deserve better pay models and protection from AI. But do you know what would just be the cherry on top for me?

Hearing CGI artists are starting a union to demand better pay. That would just be *chefs kiss* to me.

they are called VFX workers and they HAVE been investigating the best way to do this for a while! they would be a part of IATSE, and you can follow their efforts here:

IATSE VFX Union — The union for production and facility VFX workers.

IATSE has worked with the largest names in entertainment for 125 years, and now, it's VFX workers' turn to win the representation we deserve

‘It’s pillage’: thirsty Uruguayans decry Google’s plan to exploit water supply

Country suffering its worst drought in 74 years, with government even mixing saltwater into drinking supply

the Guardian

A plan to build a Google data centre that will use millions of litres of water a day has sparked anger in Uruguay, which is suffering its worst drought in 74 years.

Water shortages are so severe in the country that a state of emergency has been declared in Montevideo and the authorities have added salty water to the public drinking water supplies, prompting widespread protests.

Critics claim that the government is prioritising water for transnationals and agribusiness at the expense of its own citizens. Daniel Pena, a researcher at the University of the Republic in Montevideo, said: “Only a tiny proportion of water in Uruguay is used for human consumption. The majority is used for big agro industries, such as soya, rice and wood pulping. Now we have Google planning to use enormous quantities of water.”

i feel like we dont talk enough about how distressing and disturbing memory loss issues are. forgetting what you were talking about halfway through a sentence, putting something down and instantly forgetting where you put it. having to reread one paragraph over and over again because by the time youve moved onto the next sentence you dont remember what the one before it said. always doubting if your memories of things are real, not being able to remember important life events.

its so incredibly scary, it feels like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you and you start to doubt whats real and what isnt.

“i forgot” is treated like a lazy excuse when it’s genuinely such a big issue for so many people.

Moving to Safety

I hate to have to ask for this, but I need help. As some of you know, my family has been unsupportive at best regarding my transition, and

paypal.com

My name is Jesse, I’m a disabled trans man, and I really need help to move away from my unsupportive family and a state that’s becoming increasingly hostile. I have a place to go, I just need to get there by the end of the year.

If you can help, I would appreciate it more than I can say.

Hey guys.

This is my very good friend Jesse of many years, who is in a nasty position, and who we are hoping can move in with me as soon as possible. We’ve worked out a timeline and cost breakdown but due to his poor health and other complications, he frankly needs all the funding he can get.

We’ve worked out a timeline, budget and execution plan, all we need is the funds, and donating really will help save his life in a very material way.

Thank you all who can donate, or who can help boost this.
