And honestly? What a mood. Haha YES indeed.
[image ID: comic that shows multiple people holding picket signs that say “ON STRIKE.” In the front right of the image is the “Sickos” meme guy also holding an ON STRIKE picket sign, as well as wearing a T-shirt that says “SICKO SCREENWRITERS.” There’s a speech bubble above him that says “YES… HA HA HA… YES!” end ID]
dear 911bts, I'm struggling to understand how residuals work... like the actors like the guy that plays Tommy in season 2, he's in chimney begins, bobby begins again and iirc hen begins as well, so he gets paid for those episodes once, but then he should be paid for every time someone watches those episodes like right now while we're doing the rewatch, but they just aren't getting paid if those episodes are watched through streaming? or they are getting paid but not enough? I'm trying to understand how many people dear for us that love the show are deeply affected by this, like it's not only those guest actors involved in the emergency calls, right? sorry if my english is not the best, and thanks for answering ❤
So “principal performers” only get residuals (for acting). I’m going to be completely honest and say I’m not sure if that means recurring cast too or just regulars on the show. (Recurring is people who play characters that come back repeatedly like Lou [Tommy] or Anirudh. Regulars are like Angela, Aisha, Peter, etc.)
But the way streaming works is Fox lets Hulu have 911 on it’s platform because they pay a licensing fee. Fox still has to pay residuals to the main cast, writers, directors, etc. for the views (meaning Hulu isn’t paying the residuals). Fox only has the money from the licensing fee to pay out said residuals for streaming views. Because the profits are going mainly to Hulu and not to Fox, the money being paid as residuals is significantly smaller.
I hope that makes sense. Here’s an article of the Gilmore Girls cast talking about it all because their show has been a hit on Netflix over a decade after it went off the air and they’ve seen little money.
There are three different ways, but to answer anon’s question, a character who speaks a specific line (other than background noise or, “omnies”) is considered a principal performer, so recurring characters, repeat characters, one-time characters, call characters who speak a line (for 9-1-1) all count as principal characters. But, for example, actors who play other ambient first responders (such as other firefighters/paramedics at the firehouse, cops at Athena’s station, or dispatchers) in the background without meeting that or other criteria do not get paid residuals. (I THINK. I am not in the industry do not consider this authoritative advice.)
Below is an article detailing several actors revealing their poor residuals, even if they were main characters:
I need UK journalists to not show 43 degrees is not beach weather like people are gonna die
Americans do not interact
Im Australian, and 43C is NOT beach weather. That is VERY hot, even for us, but for the UK its apocalyptic. At 43C you should not even be going outside if you can help it, treating it like beach weather is a one way ticket to heatstroke.
I agree with not going outside for long periods of time but you will have to plan something to reduce the heat within your households. Especially if your house is designed to retain heat
Fans pointed at open windows will pull out hot air and allow it to circulate - don’t put them IN the window, leave some room by the side for extra air to get drawn in.
If you can’t afford cold packs (and if you can, stock up on some NOW), get some ziplock bags and freeze them, with wet washcloths or ripped up towel inside. You want them to be ready in the freezer when you need them. Wrap them in a tea towel and put them on your wrists and ankles.
A big bowl of ice water in front of a fan will blow cold air into the room and make a massive difference. Again, if you don’t have ice cube trays get some and freeze them *now*, don’t wait until you’re already in trouble (although I am melting at quarter past nine but my thermoregulation is bollocks so I don’t know if that’s the heat or just the me). If you can’t afford to get any, clean out empty yoghurt pots or Tupperware or whatever you have that can hold water. Even if you end up with a giant ice cube from a lunchbox, it’ll help.
Even just opening two windows at a crack will allow some air circulation - I sometimes prop open my bedroom door and leave the bathroom door open, both windows are locked at a crack because of the cats but it creates a nice little line of wind along the landing.
If you’re someone who needs something on them to sleep, take your duvet out of the cover and just use the cover.
Remember that water acts as a lens - you do NOT want to wear a wet t shirt in the burning sun. I did this when I was 8 and if I tan on my back you can still see the scars.
Read the instructions for sunscreen carefully, and use the highest spf you can find. Reapply as per the instructions. If you get burned, Malibu do an amazing aloe-based spray on after sun, I got mine from Savers for 3 quid and it lasts ages. I keep it and any other after sun in the fridge, which means it’s incredibly lovely to put on. Aloe is magic for burns so definitely gravitate towards that if you can. My son got badly burned (he’s ginger, he went to an outdoor pool and they forgot to give him sunscreen) and he’s had 2 helpings of it and you wouldn’t believe how much better he is (he couldn’t even really wear a shirt).
Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh cold water to drink, and if they usually have dry food consider giving them some wet food for one of their meals (cats are notoriously not always great drinkers but wet food will get them some liquid). Keep the curtains and/or blinds closed in south-facing rooms. I have blackout curtains in the front room and the front bedroom (my son’s) and they make a MASSIVE difference to the heat. Make sure pets have access to these cooler spaces if you can create them.
Keep oven/hob use to a minimum if you can. I like making a massive pot of something that can be reheated in the microwave if necessary - the oven especially adds a lot of heat. Or get some wraps and ham and cheese and eat those.
Cordial or fruit juice can be better than water if you’re sweating a lot. Cordial is cheap as chips. Salty snacks are also good.
Go to Iceland and buy a billion lolly ices. It’s especially a good way to make sure kids stay hydrated.
I realize op asked for Americans not to interact, and whether or not they’re being cheeky, I feel obligated to reblog this to save lives.
That temperature is absolutely murder, even moreso with humidity.
Please, be safe and stay hydrated!
For reference, 43 degrees celsius is roughly equivalent to 109.4 degrees fahrenheit. That’s bad.
This is nearly DOUBLE the typical average temperature of the UK. I don’t care if you grew up in Satan’s asshole, if you woke up one day and it was twice as hot as it usually is, you’re gonna have a bad fucking time. The infrastructure is not built for 40+ degrees, and with the government doing… The thing it’s doing, I doubt they’re gonna even bother to help people, so people need to see things like this post to be able to help each other instead.
Heads up UK folks, we’re looking at hitting 40°C again in about two weeks. Now’s a great time to prepare however you can, figure out what you can do to make things more bearable
Putting a wet tea towel in the freezer for 20 minutes (in a freezer bag so it didn’t stick to anything) then tying it to my wrists/ankles helped a lot last year, so I’ll share this post in the run up in case it helps anyone else
Keep an eye out for people struggling, including yourself
Tips for folks in hot ass situations like this though, get a spray bottle full of water and keep it around, give yourself a quick spray once in a while for a second of relief as it evaporates off your skin and if your pets seem to be overheating don’t be afraid to put them in a lukewarm bath for a bit (don’t want to shock their system with cold water when its excessively hot) so they can be a bit cooler until it dries. Also don’t be afraid to jump in the shower yourself just to cool down.
Someone in an autism facebook group I’m in just asked “How am I supposed to earn enough to make a living without burning out?”
Someone replied: “You’re not. Even neurotypicals can’t right now in the system designed for them. We’re the canaries in the coalmine. When we start failing, they know something is wrong.”
People keep saying, “Oh, everyone thinks they’re neurodivergent now!” or they’ll say it’s the foods or chemicals or whatever other nonsense they’ve fallen for, but to me the answer is so obvious?
We’ve gotten to a point that more and more people are being left behind by the system, making it so that neurodivergent parents who could get by fine *enough* in decades/centuries past are bringing children into a world that cannot and will not attempt to accommodate them. There’s nothing in the water and people aren’t faking, it’s just that this is no longer sustainable or livable and of course people with disabilities will be hit first and hit the hardest. There aren’t more people with it, it’s just harder to go through life without being aware that you’re not functioning the way your peers seem to be able to.
‘Why is trending so weird’ because of tag spam. Because people (and bots) are tagging like it’s Instagram.
This is spam. It’s against TOS and it throws trending completely out of whack, along with being wildly annoying.
Please, please, PLEASE report posts like this as spam, because otherwise it’s just gonna get fucking worse
‘Cottagecore’ is trending right now and the tag is literally 80% spam from real humans who don’t fucking know how tumblr tags work
I’m glad more people are addressing this because it is a serious issue, arguably as bad as the bot epidemic.
But here it is in the Terms of Service. It’s been there long before this shit started happening.
Intentionally tagging incorrect tags is abusing the tag system and therefore against the TOS. The posts that tag shit like images of cigarettes as celebrity names.
That’s what the TOS is trying to avoid. Within good reason. OP is right; the longer this is condoned, the more people will join in, the more prevalent this gets, and the less relevant tags will become. Tags will be as relevant here as they are on Instagram or TikTok and shit.
That and it’s just fucking annoying and disrespectful to other people’s time, all for the sake of scrambling for popularity online whatsoever, let alone Tumblr out of all sites.
So to anyone still bitching on how this “unfair” because you want an excuse to abuse the algorithm to get likes on your dusty ass selfie, please fuck off back to one of those platforms instead.
Oh crap I didn’t know about this lemme go through my posts o-o
Just to add to this. Having tags, even a lot of them, is ok, as long as they’re relevant. Posting art of several characters and tagging them with the fandom and each character or something is ok. Tagging your selfie as every generic/popular tag you can think of is not.
I like how teens are too young to figure out their sexuality unless its heterosexual
Idk how people find this old post like once a week but I will say as a closeted 15 year old nothing can describe how much confidence it gave me that everyone agreed with me. That it’s all bullshit. I was so angry and frustrated at the world not taking me seriously, and the thousands and thousands of people reblogging showed me that I wasn’t alone. I wasn’t crazy and heteronormativity is all bullshit. Being queer is as natural as breathing air.
‘you’re too young to know your sexuality’ kay then why the fuck has my auntie been asking if i have a boyfriend since i was five?
