this is great on so many levels. I love it when brilliant art also succeeds financially, I love this affirmation for Coogler and everyone involved, but I am a petty enough bitch to also love it because this is EXACTLY what the suits tried to keep from happening and you know they are SUFFERING rn 😂
SINNERS is now the biggest Hollywood original movie of any kind at the box office since 2017 when Pixar's COCO came out. To find a live-action movie that made at least $200M domestic, we have to go back much further. This is truly bananas.

A reminder that the UK just passed a transphobic law recently with the help of JK Rowling.
A reminder that even though Rowling wasn't a part of making this game, she still gets money from it because it's her series.
Don't support this at all, you're just giving her more money to harm trans people.

The upcoming Hogwarts Legacy 2 could potentially feature more characters from the Harry Potter books and movies.

If you play Hogwarts Legacy, it you buy fancy new editions of the Harry Potter books, it you buy Robert Galbraith books, then this is where your money is going.
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

If your books are among the 7.5 million pirated works on #LibGen, the resource #Meta has been using to train their #AI, you can at least send Meta a letter (using the @authorsguild.bsky.social's handy template) to state that they are violating your copyright.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

I read 80 books in 2024 and I made them into a little movie!! There’s a different colour for each month so you can see exactly what I was reading when. I’m deeply pleased with myself and this is the biggest thing I achieved this year

This is a brave but savvy move by Amazon workers. A lot of folks will be tempted to cross the line for the 'deals' but equally Amazon relies heavily on this weekend. If the union can dint the takings (if we can show them our solidarity for one weekend) it will make a big difference. Stand with them
Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.
