Its So Crazy To Me People Having Under 50k Listening Minutes On Spotify. Like You Mean There's People

Dear #SagAftraMembers:

We are thrilled & proud to tell you that today your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee voted unanimously to approve a tentative agreement with the AMPTP.  As of 12:01 a.m. PT on Nov. 9, our strike is officially suspended & all picket locations are closed. We will be in touch in the coming days with information about celebration gatherings around the country.

In a contract valued at over one billion dollars, we have achieved a deal of extraordinary scope that includes "above-pattern" minimum compensation increases, unprecedented provisions for consent and compensation that will protect members from the threat of AI, and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus. Our Pension & Health caps have been substantially raised, which will bring much needed value to our plans. In addition, the deal includes numerous improvements for multiple categories including outsize compensation increases for background performers, and critical contract provisions protecting diverse communities.

We have arrived at a contract that will enable SAG-AFTRA members from every category to build sustainable careers. Many thousands of performers now and into the future will benefit from this work. Full details of the agreement will not be provided until the tentative agreement is reviewed by the SAG-AFTRA National Board.

We also thank our union siblings — the workers that power this industry — for the sacrifices they have made while supporting our strike and that of the Writers Guild of America. We stand together in solidarity and will be there for you when you need us.

Thank you all for your dedication, your commitment, your solidarity throughout this strike. It is because of you that these improvements became possible.

Attention artists drawing Chanukah art! (Because I've seen wayyy too many incorrect depictions)

-The Shamash (the ninth candle, usually in the center or off to the side of a Chanukiyah (Chanukah menorah)) is used to light the other candles. It is lit first, and is the helper candle. It's not part of the lineup.

-The flames are lit from left to right, starting with the candle/oil well representing the current night. For example:

If this is the first night: _ _ _ _ _ _ _🕯️

And this is the third night: _ _ _ _ _ 🕯️🕯️🕯️

You would start by lighting the candle to the leftmost on the third night, and then move gradually to the right.

-The flames are supposed to be kept burning until they burn out. You don't reuse candles from the night before under ideal conditions (ideal being able to afford candles, etc).

-You can't use the candles on the Chanukiyah lineup to light other candles. That's what the Shamash candle is for. You're not supposed to use the Chanukiyah flames for anything.

carbs are my best friends actually. i love rice and pasta and potato and bread and i don’t think “evil food” exists

Sometimes you almost cry because your partner spends time reading up on judaism and jewish holidays for you. It just means so much because he's put in dedication and time into trying to learn stuff with me. I am gonna struggle to be kosher for passover this year (being kosher is already difficult enough) but we're gonna be at their house this weekend and he's gonna make something with me. And I'm just so excited.

"you sound smart" that's because i've spent years doing academic writing to the point that it's my default cadence plus or minus the use of profanity as a tone indicator

"you sound stupid" that's because i'm dumb as fuck

"college is the best years of your life" "college is for meeting new people and expanding your mind" wrong. college is for discovering new types of grief. also the timeloop
