We cancelled all of our #streaming & are uncovering a long-ignored trove of DVDs & VCR tapes (we have a working VCR!).
Last night was #Juno w/Elliot Page. Tonight, one of my all-time favorites: #RubyInParadise w/Ashley Judd.
Respect to workers whose labor opened up a wider, wilder world for me, evoked sympathy & understanding for new people & cultures, made me laugh, gave new ideas & taught history & compassion.
[deleted "in support of strike" b/c unions have not called for streaming boycott]
@chargrille we haven't been asked by either union to do that.
But to be fair, I made that exact same assumption on Friday as well!
I'm taking the substantial amount of money I'm saving & donating it to the workers' fund until the strike is over.
I saw 2 actors I greatly respect say yesterday that they personally were canceling their streaming services.
I suspect that if the union were to call for people to.cancel their streaming, they would instantly get sued for contractual interference which, meritorious or more likely not, would be detrimental to the strike.
