No feeling in the world like riding over the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise to meet your fellow writers and shut down a Marvel tv series cause Disney refuse to share 2% of their profits. Thank you to the IATSE workers who wouldn’t cross our picket line. We’re the Union without fear.

Duffers here. Writing does not stop when filming begins. While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then -- over and out. #wgastrong

I think this writers strike has revealed the most insidious side effect of the move to calling art "content." So many people only see this as amusement they're entitled to and don't care how they get it as long as studios keep churning it out.
