You should support the actor's and writer's strike. That's what I'll keep bringing up here, do what you can to make things change.

I have been supporting it. I haven't starred in a single Holywood movie since it began and I haven't written shit.

That won't not a permanent option for some of us now, right?

Do what you can, that's all any of us can hope for.

What can we do? I don't live by anywhere they are striking.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

It's small, but just talking about it and send a message of support on social media is appreciated.

Maybe they'll even actually see it.

There's a donation fund to help the strike continue. The writers aren't calling for a boycott yet.

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
