My girlfriend said, “Is there basketball on?” then put on the game and walked away. Two hours later, I’m like what is she doing? She’s napping. She turned it on to keep me occupied like a toddler.

In LA it costs $1200 just to think about an apartment
We have fucked this up so bad that the next strain of COVID gonna be transmissible through a stern look
Good thing I, as the writer of this episode, do not benefit from this success because of the current streaming residuals model
I don’t know who they think they’re scaring with this “curfew will stop when the protests do.” We ain’t got shit else to do. This is my job now. I’ll make the whole city a schedule like bitch you protest Monday to Thursday if you can’t make it find someone to cover your shift
You'd think, "I yield my time. Fuck you." would get old but it really doesn't.
A true spread of burgers and pizzas at Warner Bros courtesy of Flava Flav! Please come picket and eat! #WGAstrong
“I bought a house.” You ain’t bought shit, you in a complicated 30-year rental assistance program get away from me
Why am I getting dragged in Vanity Fair lmao
Sheryl Lee Ralph’s diction is so good that every now and then we gotta keep her on her toes. “My desks have been desked” was one of those times.

Also, she tried to distract me cuz I said she should ease up on overworking herself to the point that she needs to sleep in the middle of the day. Please stop using this tweet to further you all’s cursed heterosexual narratives lol
Maxine Waters's COVID-19 response plan is the best out: Rental assistance, at least $2000/month for all adults, small businesses support, homeless assistance, eviction ban, utility payment suspension, student loan debt forgiveness and more. Call your reps! house.gov/representative
In 2020, put visibly queer people in your shows/movies. I know you think you can only cast them if it’s part of the story but I promise you visibly queer and gender non-conforming people do regular stuff. Like they walk into rooms and say words *all the time.*
First table read of the season! #AbbottElementary
Long ass thread: Hello, friends. I'm a writer on Abbott Elementary and I want to talk a bit about this chart which shows how absolute dog shit the industry has become for WGA writers and how these numbers impact writers of color.
I am not my ancestors’ wildest dreams. Them niggas had a lot going on, they were not thinking about my goofy ass.
How California got a Democratic super majority in the assembly and senate but Newsom keeps saying he needs to compromise. BITCH WITH WHO
Never gonna see Tier 2 friends again, huh
I don’t know why y’all keep making “gender neutral clothing” when really it’s just “men’s” clothing marketed to genderqueer folks. If you were really pandering to the people it’d be like crop tops with Nehru collars & rompers with DEEP v’s that also have belt loops for caribiners
Called a restaurant to make a reservation but couldn’t think of the word so asked for a food appointment and now I can never show my face there again
Abbott Elementary is a good show to write for because I am paid to tell jokes that insult the boss
I know that America has trained you to think you can solve any problem with more capitalism but buying stamps is not what's going to ensure a fair election. Hate to break it to you but we never have fair elections. Suppression & disenfranchisement is a constant reality. (thread)
There’s basically no service here at the WGA Awards but Cate Blanchett sat on my lap and I think that’s all anyone needs to know
The feminization of “gossip” and “rumors” and “being nosey” is one of the greatest tools of the patriarchy
Why are they pointing guns at a CPR training did they change CPR
Told my girlfriend I can’t get mad at her while she’s wearing cowboy boots because it just makes *me* feel stupid so now whenever she knows she messed up all I hear is klip klip kloppity coming down the hallway
Can’t believe the AMPTP told a bunch of actors they’re not special and thought it would go over well
Spotted outside of the Warner Bros lot. They don’t like how much people are honking in support of writers. We can’t help that people love us 💁🏾♂️ #WGAstrong

I've already hit on why #8cantwait bugged so I decided to do some digging just to see what's up. Campaign Zero is a project of We the Protestors which is affiliated with an Obama Task Force on 21st Century Policing. Already I'm laughing.
Rich people that run for office are such losers like you could do whatever the fuck you want and you’re like I’m gonna ruin poor people’s lives via meetings
When do the protests outside the homes of the 68 billionaires in LA County start
I hate to RT Joseph but this video is wild
You’re never going to believe this but writers caught them violating the “neutral gate” rules at Warner Bros and now we get to picket that gate. Come picket with us! You might end up being a spy. #writersstrike #WGAstrong

Next week’s Abbott Elementary. It’s… not to be missed. That’s all I’mma say. Like you’re going to want to be tuned in live. Hulu heads you need to find a friend with ABC.

*thread* Hillary Clinton has endorsed David Ryu. I can not stress to you how important LA's CD4 race is and if this doesn't make it click for you, I don't know what will. LA City Council is one of the most powerful governing bodies in the country and we must elect .
Good to know that a guilty verdict is still, also, traumatic. I guess the only thing that isn't traumatic is uh... not murdering us and abolishing the police
Don’t ever tell me I’m intimidating. What you mean is you are intimidated by me. In which case ask yourself what about me intimidates you & why that’s a thing you find threatening. I think the answer will illuminate some issues you’ve got going on that have nothing to do w/ me!
Everyone going to dine-in at restaurants
Are we all ready to admit that "don't tell ANYONE" means you can tell exactly one person
It is not enough to vote Mitch out in 2022. He needs to be removed from office immediately. He lied to constituents, reporters, and anyone who would listen.
Not to be a nerd but for the comedy nerds out there… here are my on set sides with alts for the roast scene and a joke that sadly didn’t make the cut. #AbbottElementary
The best part of the Better Help thing is that we all know trauma famously resolves itself in one month

Trying to get my show about a lesbian whose codependent relationship with her ex-girlfriend continuously undermines their romantic and professional lives picked up to series but people don’t seem to understand that this premise is enough to power 10 seasons of television lmao
I love when people give up. Be free, bitch.

The last strike was just about them paying *anything* Streaming was just starting out in 2007 and they wanted to say we shouldn’t get paid at all for things that go on the internet. Now look at them. Half of writing is for the internet
It's too soon for all these Bowling Green Massacre tweets. You have to at least let it happen first.
When the numbers start rolling out and we see black people have been vaccinated at a much lower rate, they’ll try to blame it on “vaccine hesitancy” instead of reckoning with the utter lack of equity in distribution and improper priorities

It took so many people of color literally dying for white people to stop doing just the silliest shit. Like it took ALL THIS for y’all to admit you shouldn’t be casting white voice actors for these things? The workings of the white mind are so embarrassing.
It is *crucial* to know what your modifier is when there are other people in your general group that share your first name. Ex: Hot Timothy, Bad Latoya, etc.
My favorite part about condemning looting is that they think someone is working the register waiting for wet ass dollars
The vibe of every white family’s communication is everybody ate their other family members’ special leftovers ten years ago and it’s never been resolved
Keep forgetting to mention that Janelle Monae wore her own tour shirt during part of her performance which I think ends the argument over whether it’s cool to wear an artist’s merch to their show once and for all
I hope Grimes has the experience 40% of women that date a much older man have which is to realize she’s gay

Thinking about the teams of doctors that created the vaccines. Celebrating the moment they realized it works. Cheering that we’d now be able to end the pandemic. And imagining the one doctor in the corner that knew what the world is actually like being like, “Bet.”
