We, @idaorg staff, have officially submitted a statement today asking for recognition of a union with @CWAUnion. We firmly believe that unionizing is the only way to save the IDA after continued internal turmoil and staff resignations. #StandWithIDAWorkers

Helen Shaver, who directed the hell out of episode 5 of STATION ELEVEN, made her directorial debut at the age of 45. She is currently 70: directed the absolute HELL outta this. Was an actress before, soaking up MUCH on set but, still, proof it is NEVER too late to GIT AT IT 🙏🏿
