What you can work on if you are in SAG.

From

Adobe Acrobat

acrobat.adobe.com

[image ID: a graphic with a blue background. At the very top is a white box with purple text that says “SAG-AFTRA TV/THEATRICAL/STREAMING STRIKE.” Below that to the left is the SAG-AFTRA logo of a person with their arm raised, and centered in large yellow letters mimicking the famous Hollywood sign is the words “ON STRIKE.” Below it in white text over black background it says, “What you CAN work on! Many of our members can and should keep working under various other contracts. Here’s a quick look at some of the contracts members can work under during the TV/Theatrical/Streaming strike.”

There is a white button that says “This includes the following” and then the list:

• Commercials: Television, Radio & Digital Media (includes the Influencer Agreement and the Cameo for Business Agreement)
• Television programs covered by the Network TV Code (soap operas, variety shows, talk shows and game shows)
• Sound Recordings
• Music Videos
• Interactive/Video Game Agreement
• Corporate/Educational & Non-Broadcast (formerly “Industrial”) Programs
• Station Contracts & Broadcast News
• Television & New Media Animation
• Dubbing
• Audiobooks
• Short Project Agreement (SPA)
• Micro Budget Project Agreement (Micro)
• Student Film Agreement
• Independent New Media Agreement (deferrable)
• Independent Podcast Agreement & Micro-Monetized Podcast Agreement (includes scripted performance and hosting)
• SAG-AFTRA-approved interim Agreements (These are for independent productions that would normally be covered by the TV/Theatrical Contracts, and which have qualified for such an agreement with SAG-AFTRA)
• And certain separately negotiated basic cable agreements

At the bottom of the graphic it says “For a comprehensive list of all affected work and further guidelines, visit SAGAFTRASTRIKE.ORG

In smaller text below it says, "As a SAG-AFTRA member, you must observe these rules. Any violation could result in union disciplinary action. If you have any questions about specific work or projects, we’re here to help. By standing together during the strike, we will get a fair contract.” end ID.]

BG designs from Craig of the Creek Heart of the Forest part 1!!

Some of my coworkers have joked abt how they threw me into the deep end by more or less starting me on this ep but jokes on them I am the #1 Rusty Pipe Fan. Anyways, thank you to Santino for being the first to tackle the opening tunnel I just did my best copy of his work there. Watch the whole Heart of the Forest arc now on MAX!

embracing the patterned ambiguity of gender and sex as more or less social constructs can grant you so much more precision in thinking about so many concepts in science.

like, if there was a study (and I’m just making this up as an example) showing women suffer from mosquito bites more than men do

you could do the ~“Gender Critical”~ thing and go “see!? mosquitoes get it!!”

OR

you could go “that’s interesting” and start asking more questions, like:

• is this data self-reported? controlled?
• were they studying the women or the mosquitoes?
• did the study use methods that would let you tell the difference between “being bitten more often” and “noticing bites more often”?
• did the study include any trans people and were their results any different? if yes were they on HRT or not?
• how similar were the men and women in aspects other than gender? do we know their social class, jobs, diets, blood types?

because in fact the study i made up just then could lead to a huge variety of conclusions. from my description above you can’t tell the difference between studies that show:

• mosquitoes are attracted to people with higher estrogen levels
• mosquitoes are opportunistic and women spend more time near mosquito habitats for sociocultural reasons
• every gender gets bitten about the same amount but men are socialised to pay less attention to physical discomfort so more of them don’t notice minor bites compared to women (and by more we mean like 60-40, this is a bell curve thing)
• we accidentally got heaps of women in the study that have the mosquito’s favourite blood type and not so for the men, oops
• mosquitoes are attracted to people with more x and y in their diets, which is currently mostly women for, again, largely sociocultural reasons

etc etc etc

you’re just not going to understand actual Gender Science, and therefore reality, if you can’t put “hmm, but what do they mean by woman this time” in your mental toolkit in a relatively neutral way.

Honestly this is a great way of presenting the kind of scientific literacy that is needed in an era of clickbait headlines and sound bites and facts that turn into memes; so much science “news” as reported by mass media distills nuanced studies into easily quotable and shocking one-liners that generally ignore the context behind the statistic.
