they "toned down the misogyny" w Sokka but then made Katara into a passive child™️ when she is notoriously head strong and just as stubborn as Sokka and a Mom™️ to them all. me thinks the misogyny just got rebranded

film in other countries continuing as usual, but those actors/writers are NOT crossing picket lines! other countries unions often have rules where they can’t strike in solidarity with american unions.
new indie movies separate from hollywood studios. indie movies can continue as usual too, and may even use union actors if they follow certain guidelines and/or get permission from the union.
awards shows, although they might look different and may be postponed. if there are award shows during the strike, there’s a chance they will just be live conferences announcing winners with no celebrations attached.
celebrities will not be promoting their work during this time— that WOULD be crossing the picket line! yes, this includes social media. they can still post on social media, as long as it doesn’t pertain to their work.
a lot more reality tv. this happened the last time there was a writers strike, and it will certainly happen again.
actors will also not be able to campaign for awards. this awards season is going to be a strange one.
propaganda from hollywood. they are already trying to flip the narrative by claiming they can break the unions, but they can’t. the strikers have the power. stand with them for however long this takes!
As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.
That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

This is exactly how I felt after finishing Gideon the Ninth.
I’ve recently read a bunch of the wlw fantasy books like Crier’s War, The Midnight Lie, Priory, etc. and after reading those and how they are written it’s been a complete shock to read Gideon the Ninth which says things like:
Gideon had always known that this would be how she went: gangbanged to death by skeletons.
“Because I completely fucking hate you,”said Harrowhark, “no offence.”
and
“Go choke on a dick”
-all within the first few chapters and I love it
There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.
