If you hand out criticism for the bad moves, you’ve got to hand out praise for the correct ones.

So impressed with Drew Barrymore (and The Talk and JHud) for correcting their mistake and delaying their starts.

#WGAStrong

I've been gushing (praise, not blood) about #InterviewWithTheVampire to all my friends. Saw it streaming on MAX and devoured S1 in one sitting. To quote Claudia, I WANT MORE. #IWTV

$47m.

That’s what the WGA projected it would cost Warner Bros. Discovery to give us ALL our asks over three years.

Instead, they’re going to lose 10x that in just four months.

The studios can’t afford to let the strikes continue.

It’s beyond time to make a deal.

Apply to be mentored by me or one of these other amazing writers!! Applications close tomorrow⏰

Netflix: “We can’t possibly afford to pay you success-based residuals.”

Also Netflix:

Minimum room size isn't just about having bigger writers' rooms. It's about securing our health and pension. It's about training the next generation of showrunners so we can even have TV shows a decade from now. I don't understand why anyone is still confused by this.

Spoiler alert: Many, many show runners asked for this.

Dead serious: I'm a showrunner and also a huge dumbass and I absolutely am asking for minimum room requirements because hiring my brilliant writers to make me seem less dumb is the only smart thing I do

100 days, hanging tough. With our excellent MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY writer Taylor Mallory (she/her)

Alan Ruck, killing it with this perspective.
“It used to be Kings and Queens and Emperors, and now it’s Captains of Industry. And they think the world and everything on it and in it, everything in the air and in the ocean belongs to them…” 1/

Thankful that even without Fraser's Ridge, we still get domestic Jamie and Claire moments like these. #Outlander

How can YOU, a non-union member, support the strike? Resources below!

One of the big #actorsstrike issues that isn’t getting a lot of coverage self tape auditions.

Actor Mike O'Laskey (Power Rangers & Star Trek) explains what self tapes are & why we want them regulated

I don't know why I'm like this but I am compelled to define terms to help us communicate better. What SAG and WGA are negotiating right now is called the Minimum Basic Agreement. As in a contract that sets the MINIMUM people can be paid for their work.

It’s one of my favorite shows, too! Still pinching myself. 🥰 Outlander

Disney+ removed both seasons of a show I’d staffed on from the platform, ensuring that I’ll never make another dollar in residuals from it, or be able to watch it again.

Mind you, the show gave them 11 Emmy Noms last year.

What’s “realistic” about that?

The AMPTP thinking that writers can afford a house let alone lose one in LA in this economy

So yeah. Still not over the AMPTP threatening me and my daughter with homelessness. As rough as the strike has been, that “article” took it to a whole different emotional level for a lotta writers.

for solidarity reasons, I must become a morning person for the summer 🌞🪧✌️
