If the WHOLE COUNTRY’S economy cannot work without the labor that UPS workers provide, than their labor is worth their demands and more.
No other conclusion can be rationally made from this information.

doctor who van gogh scene but it’s showing boromir gondor restored
ok why you got me crying so early in the day
Imagine being able to tell Boromir that he did not fail Frodo. The ring is destroyed. Evil did not triumph.
Merry and Pippin are safe. They are safe because of him.
Aragorn is king. Gondor is restored to glory.
Faramir, his brother, is safe and loved. Alive. The line of Ecthelion is unbroken.
The Men of the West prevailed against Mordor and Boromir can rest easy knowing that the love he had for his people was not in vain.

we need to popularize the term “mutual bait”, where you make a post with the sole purpose of a specific mutual interacting with it

Great news, SAG-AFTRA has created an influencer hub for anyone trying to figure out what they should or should not be doing as a person who makes things on the internet during the strike.
Bad news, I have already SEEN WITH MY OWN TWO EYES people in fandoms I talk about and participate in spreading misinformation that these guidelines are only for union influencers. This is not true, it’s for all of us.
Solidarity in this case looks like no organically talking about, cosplaying from, accepting brand deals to promote works from struck companies. I am begging, covered in blood and sweat, I have run all the way here I have been running for years, listen to the official union sources and act accordingly or be prepared for the people who make those things you love to view you quite differently.
to further clarify, influencer in this case (per sag aftras definition) is a person who makes money from ads/brand deals on social media
op is talking to those people. fans keep doing ur thing ✌

I had a lovely time at Gallifrey One (my first time!) and took almost no pictures. But I was charmed by these helpful reminders near all the water coolers.

as we see skyrocketing amounts of legislation targeting trans youth in particular I’m begging people to stop parroting “your brain matures at 25”. this article by the director of harvard’s neuroscience lab is a good read. like I’m no neuroscientist myself but Brain Complicated. at best “your brain matures at 25” is an incomplete and inadequate summary of a single idea in a relatively new field wherein broad generalizations are almost impossible. *some* aspects of brain development *tend* to *plateau* *somewhere* in your 20s, *we think*; but “brain maturity” is poorly defined, and the data is still highly incomplete. plenty of aspects of the brain demonstrably continue developing well past 30, or for your entire life; on the other hand, plenty of studies have simply failed to include participants over 30, or 25, or even younger. attempting to define maturity, let alone make RULES about it, based on particular neuroscientific metrics, is extremely dicey
and this popsci notion is now actively being used to justify taking away people’s rights so pls stop perpetuating it for the sake of your age gap ship wars or whatever
