Roses And Writing

“Yes and then a thousand other people did work while he sat around and profited.”

its really good to see all the fans and friends in the industry sticking up for him, hopefully if we cause enough of an uproar theyll realize how integral dimaggio is to the futurama legacy. his role as bender is iconic alone but he played many roles throughout the show and it just wouldnt be the same without him. 

Voice actors often work long hours and directors would call for take after take after take even when it was a screaming role. VAs often found themselves being pushed past their physical limits, resulting in overstressed or damaged vocal chords in search of that perfect take which could result in unpaid leave to recover.

The production companies also engaged in shady casting practices. VAs would audition for roles with little info beyond male/female character and perhaps the genre. Multiple VAs found themselves blindly acting out a role, paid peanuts and only after the show/game/book was released finding out they’d paid peanuts for portraying one of the most iconic characters ever. The blind casting also reduced diversity casting. Laura Bailey and other were dogpiled on social media for accepting PoC roles, when they themselves didn’t even know what character they were playing. Laura resigned from the role in question and demanded a WoC VA be cast when she found out, but she received a lot of unnecessary abuse in the meantime.

I finally figured out that all our dreams have no limitations.

1. Except that the rich are quite literally rich because everyone else is poor.

Wealth doesn’t exist independent of poverty. Wealth is a social claim to gatekeep access to resources so that people who lack that claim must labor for you to access those resources to survive.

2. “A poor person in america with a phone and a fridge is richer than any medieval king!”

Except the king didn’t worry about where his next meal would come from, or whether he could heat his hall, or whether he’d be fired from his job because his car wouldn’t start.

3. The king didn’t worry about these things because his wealth translated into command over people who would labor for him or give him things he wanted.

Wealth isn’t “stuff”, it’s  a social relationship of command.

4. Poverty is the flip side: A social relationship of precariousness that drives subordination.

I know religious people who work in healthcare and STEM, do regular labwork, author scientific papers, and speak at universities as experts in their field.

“Fun fact! Baby elephants, much like human babies, aren’t able to fully control their trunks because their motor skills haven’t fully developed so they plunge their face into the water to drink =)

Although this cutie is obviously playing lol 😍”
