I read Lord of the Flies in my freshman year of high school. A good 24 years ago. 25 maybe. Yet my immediate spiritual reaction to seeing this plate go by was “finally I can speak my mind to this restaurant!”

On my way out of the Pantages, 2 guys were pushing through the crowd going “excuse us, pardon us, we’re gay, excuse us” so I showed them my lesbian pride bracelets and one went “we’re gay men” and so I turned and went “I’m a trans woman” and he goes “So sorry, you go first”

Hey Apple: no more eps of your hit show about workers using collective action to fight back against an exploitative tech company until you give your real-life workers a fair deal.

Things are not canceled because of the WGA strike. Things are canceled because networks, studios, and streamers are not fairly compensating writers for their work.

I support the wga strike 100% obviously, but I’m realizing now the best part of the 2007 strike was twitter didn’t exist yet.

It is very funny that the AMPTP thinks writers will be thrown by not having jobs or money for a long stretch that is literally what this is about.

One reason I'm pivoting away from journalism as my main income source is because I genuinely think it's made things worse for my community, and too much of the industry refuses to do any self-reflection on this fact.

"I don't oppose trans rights, I just think it's important to hear from all sides" is about to become "I don't oppose trans rights, I just think they're a political liability."

Also I may have learned today for the first time that #PreWGA is just like, a thing you can say if it’s applicable. I thought this whole time that it was an official designation like being Taft Hartley’d into SAG.
I not smart.

Echoing the wisdom of in front of Paramount tonight: this is going to be a long road. The companies want us to burn out quickly. The longer we last, the better our deal. So please, pace yourself for a long haul, and invest in consistent self-care. #wgastrong

Thank you to the showrunners of Hacks for their solidarity! It is IMPOSSIBLE to make television without writing at any stage of production, so if writing can’t be done, production MUST halt. Thank you !! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Quote Tweet
We are devastated to not be with our incredible crew and cast right now, but there was no other option here. Writing happens at every stage of the process - production and post included. It’s what makes shows and movies good. It’s what makes them possible. #wgastrong twitter.com/DEADLINE/statu…

FUN FACT: When I got my sitcom that I wrote/starred in got picked up to series, I was broke and had to borrow money to get by and buy clothes to wear to upfronts in NYC.
This was after a year of having sold the show. People thought I was rich when I had no money.
Pay writers.

Does anybody honestly think they will stop at bathrooms?
They have openly advocated removing meds, forcing conversion therapy.
For the last 4 years I have used the word genocide for what the right is trying to do. What other word am I to use for an open attempt at eradication?
