Like most of us, I’m just a TV fan (& part of many fandoms in my day) who worked my way into this industry, so it’s extra special to see fan support online & the picket lines. Thank you for the (vegan) ice cream & treats along the way this summer! @WGA_fandomLove @OFMStrike 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈

I’ve had days’ (or a day’s) notice & little info on all asst. jobs. Hard enough as it is, but can’t imagine navigating that w/ a child. May your next lead, Emma, understand if they want experienced support staff (as they do), they need to view us as adults w/ responsibilities.❤️

Have thought of Station Eleven often during the pandemic/strike. When I do, I’m reminded of the unmatched power of community coming together to make art & how that’s worth fighting for. Dying to experience every bit of @patrickerville & @EmilyMandel’s work in this universe.⬇️

There’s an easy fix for this frustrating problem! In Final Draft, do a quick Find & Replace to make sure you don’t have an “Amanxdf” hiding in the draft, then go to DOCUMENT –> SMART TYPE and you can delete the typo version. (@DebbieEzer recently reminded me of this magical tip!)
You can type a character's name incorrectly ONE time and Final Draft simply won't let you forget it. They're like "did you mean Amanda or Amanxdf 🙃🙃🙃” and you're like "Amanda” and they're like "are you sureeeeeeeee 😜😜😜”

Saw word on Twitter, made a quick (*the* @Frances_Fisher approved) sign and headed over. This crew was out all morning and welcomed me and others for a small part of it. Regardless of what happens in the coming days, I hope @officialdwts decides to #DoTheWriteThing #WGAStrong

Spent my 1st LA summer at the @WritersGuildF library, learning to write by reading scripts & my 9th picketing w/ the #WGA. Not a member yet, but it’s been a privilege to don that blue shirt. Feeling prematurely nostalgic for no pressing reason as I drove by today. #WGAstrong🤞✊

Sooo… I’m supposed to picket as usual at Disney today knowing that negotiations are ongoing and THE @ItsMeCarolAMPTP is in our midst?! #WGAstrong
feeling confident we can grind the Guild into giving in on any additional asks, but just in case i’m deep undercover at Disney picket telling random writers I heard that if there’s no deal today the strike will definitely go until 2025 and the entire WGA is gonna get blackballed

Another great day walking alongside #WGA and #SAG with my fellow #IATSE support staff pals. Thank you so much to @bergopolis & all the showrunners who organized & generously donated gift cards/funds! We were all super overwhelmed & grateful as we opened the envelopes.

Rumor (below) has it the new COVID booster may not be available to all. If safe & effective, it’s imperative that EVERYONE has the OPTION to protect themselves, their family & community (AMID A SURGE)! 🤦‍♀️ I encourage all to leave a public comment by 9/8: regulations.gov/document/CDC…

Lost my wallet while picketing at Paramount today — if any #WGA or #SAGAFTRA picketers stumbled across a pink striped cloth wallet in the Paramount area, please DM me! I am having a bad day! #WGAStrike #SAGAFTRAStrike

You know the first draft of Hurriquake got noted as being “unbelievable” and “a bit of a coincidence, don’t you think?” Congrats to the writer for persevering and delivering a legitimately surprising twist! May the rest of the film be a mundane let down from here on out. 🤞

“Due to the strikes,” you say? Guess I know which sign to bring out to the picket lines next week… #ALeagueOfTheirOwn #SaveALOTO
Due to the strikes, production on both A League Of Their Own and The Peripheral was delayed and could not start before 2024, pushing the Season 2 premieres to 2025. That would create a logjam in Amazon’s 2025 pipeline and would stretch the gap between A League Of Their Own's first season and the four final episodes to three years bit.ly/3KK8Q1W

I distinctly remember pausing the VHS & clocking @KristaVernoff or @sheryljanderson in the credits of many of my fave Charmed eps. One of the most gratifying, full circle moments ever to get to share with both on the picket lines how that show & their words inspired me to write.

FUCK THE PATRIARCHY was deafening. Plus, SHADE NEVER MADE ANYBODY LESS GAY in a rainbow stadium. So cathartic and fun to experience these moments as an adult. Inspiring to think about all the kids (loudly!) hearing it’s cool to be who they are and own their power. #TSTheErasTour
The most optimistic thing I've witnessed in a while is 70,000 teenaged girls simultaneously singing FUCK THE PATRIARCHY along with @taylorswift13. The fact that this has been happening over and over again in giant venues for months is 100% the most powerful spell of 2023.

Since my FYP is #WGAstrong at #LATSTheErasTour or marking 100 days… Pls covid test a few days post Taylor & crowded pickets. Don’t assume your sore throat is from singing/chanting/a “summer flu.” LA Libraries offer FREE at home tests & my fave KN95s are on sale @BonaFideMasks!

We were all holding our breath for #1989TaylorsVersion but I did not have getting Kaylor texts in the year 2023 while at SoFi 2 minutes before Taylor took the stage on my bingo card for the evening. Sorry for the unhinged replies, friends. 💙

My heart rate jumped to 89 when Taylor Swift ran towards me during August. Am *I* an Easter egg that a #1989TaylorsVersion announcement is headed our way soon… perhaps in August… at the 8/9 show? 🤡 #LATSTheErasTour #TSTheErasTour @taylornation13

After months of great wars, anticipation & grainy streams, I feel so grateful to be able to say #LATSTheErasTour (even 5 rows from the top of @SoFiStadium) was everything I imagined it would be & more. @taylorswift13 is a triumph & I was ✨wonderstruck✨ by the collective joy.
