Hi! Heat wave picketers, would you like some tips on increasing your heat tolerance? I'm an endurance rider, which means I do a sport that requires me to sometimes exercise in up to 120-degree temperatures for hours at a time. Heat tolerance is not fixed—you can build it.

Neither the WGA or SAG-AFTRA is calling for a consumer boycott right now. If you want to support the strike, we're asking folks to: 1) Boost our message on social media 2) Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports affected workers secure2.convio.net/afa/site/…
Replying to @adamconover
@adamconover genuine question: I'm having a hard time morally resolving whether I should skip seeing Barbie and Oppenheimer this week re: SAG/AFTRA solidarity. Thoughts?

Hey @GavinNewsom, with so many Californians struggling, maybe now is the time to raise the maximum unemployment benefit. It’s been the same amount since 2005.

Writers and actors take a break from picketing at Netflix HQ to listen to the @sagaftra strike announcement and @frandrescher’s incredible speech. History in the making.

Disney CEO Bob Iger is on CNBC blaming striking writers for hurting support staff in the industry.

People with disabilities should have the right to marry without losing their income, benefits, or health insurance. No one should be forced to choose between the benefits they need to survive and their partner. ❣️

Woke up still amused that the studios think striking until October will break a union full of people who routinely wait longer than five months for Business Affairs to cut a check for work they already did

The buried lede in this story: it’s the shutting down of the international shoots that’s REALLY scaring the AMPTP. That was the backup plan, the loophole around the WGA. If SAG•AFTRA strikes, they’ve got NOTHING filling the fridge, even if they shouldn’t be shooting it anyway.

Once a rebel, always a rebel. Watch the brand-new trailer and experience the two-episode series premiere of @AhsokaOfficial, a Star Wars Original series, streaming August 23 on @DisneyPlus.

Want to commemorate Gotham Knights while doing something good for the world? Get a replica Court of Owls coin from the show along with a signed Two-Face print. 100% of the profits go to humanitarian demining in Ukraine. FYI, there are fewer than 500 in total and before I’ve even posted about it 100 are gone, so tick tock… bit.ly/HeadsOrTailsMC

Telling residents to not use their microwaves while refusing to turn off the billboards in Times Square is class warfare.

This, from a prominent "gender critical" "feminist" campaigner, is a Right Wing talking point that was heard a lot in the run up to the 2015 marriage referendum in Ireland: that gay people - gay men in particular - treat children as commodities. It appeals to people's homophobia.

Repealing affirmative action is going to further enable white mediocrity and hurt people with big grades and low opportunities who deserve a fighting chance against yet another malignant strand of systematic oppression. Good for the Abigail’s, bad for everyone else (/🧵 )

Star Trek Prodigy is being REMOVED from Paramount+ (& canceled) before s2 even airs. Trekkies need to be vocal about removal of shows (especially during a WGA strike) is antithetical to everything Trek. Prodigy is about hope for the next gen of Trekkies. youtu.be/-sJA7ZZnDpw
