"Now you are immediately asked to luncheon, at which the subject of ‘‘sex’’ only is discussed. How I have tried not to show my insufferable boredom of this same old drivel! I often wonder is there nothing else in the world these men care to talk about." - Confessions of a Motion Picture Actress 1917

The large man who is a manager leans forward in his chair towards the actress asking her to kiss him she replies by threatening to throw an ink bottle at him. From Film Fun magazine 1917 issue 336.

Looks like the 1917 issues of Film Fun issues number 335, 336, 337, 338, 339 and 340 (as far as I know) being the last issue that published "Confessions of a Motion Picture Actress" It's a heartbreaking but powerful read published decades before any metoo movement. About 100 years ago.

Header image of a spider with a man's face reaching for a woman representing the studio head and a motion picture actress. The text reads "Confessions of a Motion Picture Actress" here is a sample of the article:

"AS TOLD in the first installment of my "Confessions, "
it was in 1910 that I first became associated with the
motion picture. In the seven years that I have been struggling to get a foothold in motion pictures, but have accomplished little, I have learned well the meaning of two stock phrases of so many motion picture directors and producers:
"Will you be nice to me if I do this for you?" and "If I help you, are you going to be kind to me?" or words to this effect. I have often wondered why it never occurred to some ambitious song writer to make either one of these lines the title for a popular song. It would be popular, I am sure.
When in my youth and ignorance I was first asked how
"nice" or how "kind" I was going to be in return for what would be done for me in the way of advancing me in my work, I always returned such a childishly naive answer that I presume I was put down as "hopeless." My innocence was a protection. Not having the faintest suspicion of the meaning of what was being said to me, any intended harm fell from me like water from a duck's back.
Now, after seven years of battling the world and fighting the flesh and the devil, I merely pretend that I do not get the meaning of what is being said. Through repeated and miserable experiences, all alike, with men in authority in the picture world-through association with the older women of the profession and the sophisticated younger ones-hearing and overhearing in dressing-rooms studio gossip (in motion picture parlance, "dirt"') —it will be readily understood that neither innocence nor ignorance could long remain to protect one. But in the interim, while I was being metamorphosed from a state of sweet simplicity to a condition of worldly wiseness, I learned to..."

100 years of women trying to make awesome films while navigating creepy untalented dudes who're drunk on privilege and power. Hungry spiders trying to catch talented people in their net and drain them of their will to live or create. We need bigger change. 100 years is far too long. 2/2

A spider with the face of a man and hairy long creeping legs reaches out to a film actress who screams trying to free herself from the monster. The title reads "Confessions of a Motion Picture Actress"

Illustrations from 1917 pulp magazine Film Fun for the column “Confessions of a Motion Picture Actress”. Hollywood has the creepy producer/director problem since the start. When women ran the studios before Hollywood was THE Hollywood and nobody saw profit in film there was far less of this. 1/2

Film producer from the early 1900s leans over an actress who is pushing away from him against a desk in his office. The line below reads "If I get this position for you, will you be nice to me?" This was drawn over 100 years ago.

I sacrifice kitty to the website skeleton to try and bring the old gods of web 1.0 back! 😭❤️ Sorry kitty!

A circular space of glitch art with a low resolution skeleton surrounded by pixel frame and a cartoon cat with a blissful face tongue sticking out is gravitating above the fire. Oh no.

I am so tired of GamerGate types making a hostile environment in a space that is meant for people to have fun creating things and playing games. It's been a decade. They're so easily manipulated by any YouTuber who gets rich off their hate clicks while they terrorize the rest of us. 1/2

I know there's a lot to worry about these days but if you can amplify and share stories and info about the global sumud flotilla that is happening now. We need to ensure these people are freed. SOS Link: globalsumudflotilla.org/sos/ Website link: globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

White text on red background that states "These boats were illegally intercepted in international waters between Italy and Greece and the flotilla participants have been kidnapped." listing 21 boats with 68 boats at sea and 180 participants kidnapped.

Anyone else have fond teenage memories of this website where people created "story quizzes". I spent hours on there just reading and going on choose your own adventure type stories. Reading poems and things like that. Miss the old web so much these days especially with all this AI and bot accounts.

From Enemy of the State (1998) screenplay. God forbid, huh?

Screenplay typewriter font that reads: ALBERT
(on TV)
Our intelligence communities presently monitor our phones, computers, financial transactions, medical histories...all this and more. Some of you may say, "Fine.
I'm not a criminal and I have nothing to hide." Well God forbid we ever edge to tyranny. God forbid George Orwell's version of America becomes a reality. We are that close.
ALBERT's speech continues as we...
ROLL END CREDITS.

Found this image saved somewhere. Not mine but relevant. "All I know of hate is that it will never beat the love out of me." quote from Andrea Gibson Stitched on a white handkerchief with black thread and a single red rose with the text around it. Feel like I've found my life motto.

A row of people dressed in blow-up character costumes a blue figure with red hair, a mushroom man, shark and sponge bob characters crossing the street in Portland.

A man in a banana costume talks about the current administration "I'm here tonight because this is literally actually.." he holds a sign that reads "This is Bananas"

I laughed so hard at this footage. Stay weird you beautiful Portland. Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCfo...

A large eyed red creature with a worried face.

A shark, mushroom man and blue character along with a red blanket with eyes and a unicorn shark I think. Bunch of crazy costumes and silly characters just protesting ICE like a bunch of heroes.

Jeanotte III right now in the Global Sumud Flotilla. If you're watching the live stream it's safe to say it's time to protest like Italy all over the EU. They should of all been allowed to bring aid to Gaza safely and without the threats and harassment from Israel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEN2...

I hope the folks on the Alma are ok. Follow the Global Sumud Flotilla www.globalsumudflotilla.org/live/ Trying to look at other places for updates but it's hard to find. Far as I know they are beginning to run into the high risk zone and one ship may have gotten boarded. Signals are being jammed.

As much as I used to admire journalism and the work a lot of journalists have done in the past to help communities and share stories that would go unheard much like in a lot of documentaries I am increasingly disappointed in how they put going viral over the facts or peoples safety. 2/3

Advocates like Renna and Wolf are urging both media leaders and the public to demand better. For journalists, that means investing in fact-checking, slowing down when information is unverified, and considering the real-world consequences of framing choices. For the public, it means resisting the urge to amplify unconfirmed narratives and holding outlets accountable when they fail.

This was made in the free program Inkscape using everything I learned in a tutorial to make this piece of brilliant vector design. Clearly belongs on a t-shirt now with glitter. inkscape.org This is true art. Just brilliant.

Within a purple colored oval surrounded by light pink lines is a mess of design a 3D square that is pink and melting letters that say "hello?" with some abstract shapes and a star also in hues of pink and purple a shadow of the "hello?" is in a bright sky blue. It's a design disaster zone.

Bought No ICE in California bundle & Queer games bundle from Itchio Community organized bundles & the only issue I have is that there are now too many games for me to play. No ICE in California itch.io/b/3110/no-ic... Queer games itch.io/b/3062/queer... Playing a cute yuri game right now.

A sweet image of a game's starting page blue water color clouds in the background as two women anime style characters one with teal hair in a grey suit the other with a violet blue hair in a cute bunny cosplay costume stand the distance of the title "Cel by Date!" between them. There are small pink cherry blossom petals that float down and the text below the title reads "start" "load" "prefs" with a large cherry blossom next to it and then "exit" the font color is a soft pink that fades into a more vibrant one with white outlines.

Tanja THE Awesome@tanjatheawesome· Aug 18

Also worth mentioning Leaf the site's creator mentioned to people to keep calling Stripe. Not sure if folks are doing that anymore but that is crucial to restoring NSFW works and protecting the site from further censorship. These were from a few days back via discord.

The open case we have with Stripe right now is probably most critical right now.
They apparently are or will be making a determination on the eligibility of our entire platform soon. Do what you want with that information

Lastly support LGBTQ creators and buy this Queer Games Bundle on itch. Devs shouldn't be punished for what Stripe and Collective Shout decided to do. itch.io/b/3062/queer...
