There is no such thing as a "best and final" offer. If the AMPTP has presented the WGA with a less-than-acceptable deal, then we will continue to hit the picket lines until we get what we deserve. Ignore the rumors. Keep holding the line. We've got this.

AMPTP is trying very hard to make the guild seem “intractable”. What better way to achieve this than calling in all the CEOs, leaking the press that the strike will be over 2 days after returning to the table + then making another shit offer.

@KaleFutterman and I also spoke about the importance of Black women on every level when it comes to writing Black stories, diverse storytelling, and how writing takes place on all stages of a show open.spotify.com/episode/39q…

Disney is not promoting this show like they should. Marsai Martin is an executive producer for Saturdays. It’s a coming of age comedy about a 14 year old girl who loves to skate with her friends. You can stream Saturdays on Disney+.

Arguing that we don't need writing rooms because one writer could write a whole series is like arguing against orchestras because one guy with a Casio keyboard could make all those sounds. What savings! It's a collaborative art form that deserves to be preserved. #WGA #WGAstrike

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?

“Let writers go broke” would be a more effective tactic for an endgame if it hadn’t been their pre-game, too. deadline.com/2023/07/writers…

We very seriously don’t talk enough about how streaming took advantage of the desperation of historically disadvantaged groups to tell their own stories, set them up to fail by denying them the standard industry training, and then slammed the door when the contraction hit

SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee voted unanimously to recommend to the National Board a strike of the Producers-SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical/Streaming Contracts which expired July 12, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. PT. SAG-AFTRA’s National Board will vote Thursday morning on whether to strike.

Happy one month anniversary to the Max “creators” debacle, which as of today has still not been fixed.

Oh. Damn, I didn’t know we had opps like this? Y’all want our work but can’t stand that we’re talented and smart.

I still believe the reason they are so desperate to break the WGA is because the conditions for proper Residual payments to be made as well as budgets and staffing are contingent on data/numbers they don't want getting out for ~some~ reason
I heard from inside one of the major studios... The fact that the AMPTP hasn't broken the WGA's spirit yet is driving the upper brass NUTS and they HATE seeing writers having fun on the picket line. As we head into week seven of the strike, keep your spirits up. It's working.
