Lower residual payments mean fewer actors earn the $26,470 per year needed to qualify for SAG-AFTRA's health insurance coverage, said actor Michael Spellman. The union said about 14% of its 160,000 members currently meet that threshold.
"It's gotten to the point where I think a lot of people can't believe it if they get a residual for $25," O'Brien said. "They're so used to opening those envelopes and it's 30 cents."
O'Brien, who has appeared on dozens of shows, from "Grey's Anatomy" to "Pretty Little Liars," shared images of residual checks from more than two decades ago worth $47.49, $87.77 and $216.25. Others, from the past few years, amounted to $1.63, 43 cents and 1 cent.
Really important info for anyone thinking this is a “rich people strike”
I apologize for reaching out again, but the situation has taken a grave turn. The response to my previous post has been incredible, but unfortunately, the donations have hit a standstill over the last couple of days. The urgency of my plea cannot be overstated.
I can't express how crucial your support is at this juncture. The dental office has already called, pressuring me to settle the balance before I can even schedule another appointment. As of yesterday, I was unable to meet their demands, caught in a heart-wrenching predicament.
Please consider donating whatever you can. Even a modest contribution of $5 or $10 can collectively create a powerful impact. The stress and anxiety I'm feeling are palpable, but your generosity can provide the relief and hope I so desperately need.
You can d0nate through the following avenues:

As of now, we've reached $580 out of the $1500 goal. Within the next week, my hope is to achieve the full $1500 target so that I can receive the prompt treatment I urgently require.
Thank you for your understanding, your kindness, and your support in this time of urgency.
if you like strawberry shortcake, please consider buying something from the original creator and designer, Muriel Fahrion’s website! she never got paid royalties for creating/designing strawberry shortcake and care bears to this day.
she went through incredibly tough times as an artist and went into debt after her husband died— until in 2019 she started being more public on social media about being the original creator of strawberry shortcake. despite everything, she still loves strawberry shortcake and spreads nothing but kindness and positivity on her instagram (everyday she always posts a daily video of her dancing in her kitchen :) she’s so full of joy) she inspires me so much as an artist! it would mean a lot to me if you supported her and bought something cute from her website!
Not Jem, but other 80s cartoons! I loved Care Bears as a little girl, so I felt like I should reblog this here to spread the word.
hey its me! i have been struggling this week with headaches possibly from this new sleep medication im taking but also probably from just being overworked. i’m gonna be able to space out my engagements more moving forward but right now this is the hardest part for me which is waiting until i get paid, accepted into my internship program, into school and finalizing my paperwork for the move into my own place :) good vibes all around, i just dont have money for migraine medication, electrolytes and spinach maybe which i always try to eat when heat and exhaustion are affecting me most. in any case, i am working hard as always but i do need money specifically for the medication before anything else. all my money for the week has gone into train fare, medication and electrolytes, but i am going to get actual food if i can, and make that a priority. my dms are always open for clarifying questions, but more than anything i need support, which is why im asking <3 please donate if u can and share if u cant
hey guys could you share and/or donate to my gofundme so i don't end up in debt for having cancer thanks lol

thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity.
spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.
A small collection (feel free to add):
@staff You're not very subtle.
[ID1: A screenshot of Tumblr's support request page. The category for support is Feedback and the description reads:
"Hey, remember how you settled a discrimination bias lawsuit only last year due to the severely sloppy porn ban moderation predominately targeting the LGBT community?
Well, with that in mind, and the fact that you're already struggling to turn a profit with this site, I highly recommend taking a look at whoever on the moderation team is actively going out of there way to falsely flag as many posts talking about trans people as "mature content" despite not having any mature content.
Do you really want to risk another lawsuit defending a staff member's immature vendetta?"
ID2: A collection of screenshots.
The first is the Tumblr search results for 'crossdressing'. There is a pop-up reading "Hold your horses! These search results are likely to contain content which does not comply with Tumblr's Community Guidelines. To help keep everyone safe we're not displaying any content here." There's a button reading "Learn more".
The second is the Tumblr search results for 'tgirl' which has the same "Hold your horses" pop-up.
The third is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.
@/foone posts "Me: I'm trans
Tumblr:"
@/catgirl-kaiju reblogs with "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label."
@/notaspy11 reblogs with a screenshot of the post, showing that it has a Mature Community Label, and stating "Literally beyond parody".
The fourth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.
@/transmortifried (deactivated) posts "ayyy guess who got her navel pierced today", with two attached images of herself. The first is her showing a peace sign to the camera, and the second is a picture of her stomach, showing the navel piercing.
@/transmortifried reblogs with a screenshot of an email from Tumblr. It reads:
"Hello transmortifried,
We've reviewed your classification appeal and after careful review, we have determined that your post is considered adult under our Community Guidelines.
Don't worry, this post hasn't been deleted, it is just hidden from public view.
For more information about what is considered adult content, please see our FAQ support post or our Help Center.
Thank you,
Tumblr Trust & Safety"
She states "yeah okay it's a pattern"
@/zenonym (deactivated) reblogs with "and now they killed my blog! you fuckers!"
It is worth nothing that neither blogs have the typical "deactivated-date" appended to them, indicating they were most likely deleted by Tumblr rather than deactivated.
The fifth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.
@/zenonym posts "staff fucking nuked me right when i complained about my selfie being flagged as mature content
too convenient for coincidence"
@/zenonym reblogs with "i had that fucking account for over ten years".
The sixth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.
@/predstrogen posts a screenshot of her Tumblr notifications for Thursday, July 20th and Friday, July 21st. They're fully taken up by notifications that read "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", for 15 flags total.
The seventh is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.
@/demilypyro posts a screenshot of a comment by @/telltaletypist reading "if there's one thing i know about being a trans woman it's that absolutely nobody gets weird or judgy at us for expressing sexual desire".
She comments "This is true I think, everyone just has very normal and even-minded thoughts and opinions about transfeminine sexuality".
@/demilypyro reblogs with a screenshot of Tumblr's 'Request community label review' pop-up. It reads:
"We have determined that your post contains content that would be better suited with a Community Label. While it does not violate our Community Guidelines, a Community Label has been added to your post so that it is only presented to those who wish to view that material.
If you think this was done in error, you can Request Review. Please include a short explanation with your request:"
There is a text box below, with text simply reading "come on".
@/zoethiahs-little-pillow-fort reblogs with "No honestly I think it's REALLY important that people see this. Literally the exact same post, sans trans people, and it didn't get flagged."
They attach a screenshot of a post by @/sounddesignerjeans, which is identical to this post (containing a comment from telltaletypist about how 'nobody gets weird or judgy at a man for expressing sexual desire' and a response from @/sounddesignerjeans identical to @/demilypyro's comment.
@/sounddesignerjeans reblogs with "By the way, this post has been reported as missing a community label by several people and still isn't marked mature. So it's not even that the original post got reported and this one didn't.
Tumblr's official stance is that trans women are considered explicit content."
@/gaycatastrophe reblogs with "@/staff @/support
hey remember how tumblr just had to settle with NYC's human rights commission for discriminating against LGBTQ people in your implementation of the NSFW ban? We do.
They attach an article titled "Tumblr is setting with NYC's human rights agency over alleged porn ban bias".
Whilst the dates are not visible, demilypyro's reblog containing the Request Review form was 19 minutes after the inital post about transfeminine sexuality was made, and sounddesignerjeans' reblog commenting that their post about male sexuality was not flagged despite multiple reports was made 19 hours after the inital post.
The eighth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post by @/predstrogen.
She posts two pictures of herself; the first presumably pre-estrogen and possibly pre-transition, and the second presumably whilst on estrogen and transitioning. She is noticeably more feminine in the second picture.
She captions the pictures "not even a full year apart… we stay silly :3 [cat emoji]".
@/predstrogen reblogs the post, with a screenshot of a notification reading "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", and another screenshot showing her flagged posts. It shows that this post is flagged as requiring a Community Label. She comments "literally fuck off lol"
@/predstrogen reblogs the post, with a screenshot of a notification reading "We re-reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", and another screenshot showing that this post still has a Community Label.
She comments "tumblr has doubled down and after almost a week re-reviewed MY FUCKING TRANSITION and decided it still needed a community label for sexual themes
fuck this website and fuck every person working there you pricks".
The ninth is a screenshot of a post by @/predstrogen. She says "OH COME ON THEY FLAGGED MY FUCKING PINNED POST? IT'S JUST MY BIO"
@/predstrogen reblogs with a screenshot of her pinned post, which has a pop-up on it reading "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label".
The pinned post reads: "Pinned: Hiya!!
It's Avery, or Moira. 21 years old. Bigender Trans gal, and a Poly Bi Lesbian. I use She/Him, she is preferred. I'm from Ireland and Disabled" (the post is cut off)."
She comments "GET A FUCKING GRIP ALREADY".
The tenth is a screenshot of @/i-aint-even-bovvered's Tumblr account. Their account's title is "Actually Jaskier". Their account's description is "Queer/Enby (they/them) Jew/ "Nearing 30" - my roommate".
A post is visible, reading "welp, my blog has been flagged as mature content for some reason". /end ID]
Anyway here's some additions from the Maasai and Kikuyu, two grassy plain-dwelling groups from Eastern Africa that I think count as unfuckwithable
Feel like Poland should be included since we're literally called "people of the fields" according to the etymology of Poland.
Also look at her GO
I’m Métis, here’s some of ours! You’ll notice it looks remarkably similar to the above.
We also have some less intricate clothing (if it looks a bit Victorian to you - that’s pretty much the right era for most of this!)
Can’t believe no one’s done it yet I will be the person to add the cowboys: Latin American focus.
Here is the Chilean huaso:
Gauchos, from primarily Argentina where they’re a large national symbol close to the level of cowboys in the US. Also gauchos are in Uruguay. Their pants are called bombachas and the other garment wrapped around them are called chiripas. They work in grasslands called pampas, known for being really fertile:
While they’re not as dressed up as the others or have as prominent of a culture, for a broader Latin American cowboy context, I feel like also adding llaneros, who are from Colombia and Venezuela, in the llanos region, a type of tropical grassland similar to the pampas, hence the name llanero. Pampas get annual flooding and these guys would go barefoot a lot, and you can see that the stirrup on the horse’s saddle is really different than what you’re probably used to seeing, to accommodate for that, which is what I want to point out as an aspect of plains cultures developing clothing/accessories/tools to suit the environment.
Cowboy culture happened wherever Spanish colonial influence and grassland biomes came together. They differ based on the grasslands having different climates (ex tropical in South America), and the local indigenous influence (ex, backtracking to gauchos, they would use this tool called bolas to catch animals, which were basically two balls tied to a string that you threw and it spun around an animals legs, and were an indigenous invention):
I would love to keep posting cowboy dress lol but will stick to the post’s theme of grassland of course.
Adding to the post, I, hereby, present people of Kalash and Chitral:
Chitral means ‘field’ in the native language Khowar. Both Chitralis and people of Kalash are known to be indigenous people of Asia.
