Being an ally can be hard sometimes. You get yelled at by a LOT of shitheads just for speaking up. But not giving money to hateful people/organizations actively making the lives of those you claim to care most about worse? That's the easiest fucking part of allyship. If you can't give up that...🤷

Destin Daniel Cretton rocks up to pitch his next motion picture. He’s riding high off Spider-M4n. He’s got the juice. He strides into Kevin Feige’s office to applause and shit-eating grins from all and sundry. One overly enthusiastic intern is even thwipping ffs 1/4

Someone once said Bluesky was like methadone for those formerly addicted to Twittxr. If there's a push to be more inclusive of the sort of diseased pustule that frequents that platform, I think people would feel motivated to find a new bubble, or maybe ease off social media altogether

Been seeing the “how do you break in” conversations floating around and I remember in my early days of just wanting to work in film all the conversations were about how to break in. Turns out the answer is just show up and do the work. Make friends. Be helpful.

That brings us back to Nolan's point. The mechanism, in fiction terms, is always pretty easy to identify. But fiction isn't a game you beat, or a system you hack. Understanding something doesn't mean the creators did it wrong, it just means you understand what they're doing.

After Spider-Man’s mad box office haul, Sony are going to do one of two stupid things: - try and sidestep Marvel Studios for the next movie - green light more spider-man adjacent dreck I can feel it in my bones
