Wrote this in 2021: The surprising bonds that link Palestinian, Black and Indigenous liberation movements. It explores how international kinships are changing the fight against oppression and, just maybe, bending the arc of history toward justice. thestar.com/opinion/the-surp…

This deal is incredible in so many ways. But this took my breath away: "In addition to the... writer designated by the Company to make hiring decisions... (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Showrunner’)…” Showrunner is now officially defined in the MBA. AS A WRITER. #WGAStrong

✅Minimum room size.
✅Pay increases.
✅AI can't write.

✅Guaranteed 2nd step for screenwriters.

Hell. Yes.

FINALLY!!!
🚨 WGA has reached a tentative agreement 🚨
After 145 days, the AMPTP finally submitted an acceptable offer.
The strike isn’t over yet. The still agreement needs to be drafted and ratified. But we hope this first step gives writers the protection and compensation they deserve.
ALT September 24, 2023 DEAR MEMBERS, We have reached a tentative agreement on a new 2023 MBA, which is to say an agreement in principle on all deal points, subject to drafting final contract language.

BREAKING: Marvel Studios’ Visual Effects (VFX) Workers UNANIMOUSLY voted in favor of unionizing with IATSE in a labor board election.
This marks the first time a unit of solely VFX Workers has unionized with IATSE since VFX was pioneered nearly a half-century ago.

Incredibly grateful to be a part of an organization that clearly values and defends the right to fair wages (and other basic rights!) in such a public way.

Actors, animators, artists, crew, and writers pour their souls into their work. They deserve a thriving wage for their labor, as every human does.

In solidarity with those on the picket lines, Off Colour will not cover struck companies until further notice.
Entertainment journalism and criticism are marketing. Our work will not enrich executives who devalue the creatives that make their profits possible. 2/

It's kind of frustrating that @DisneyPlus has not promoted a single post about their African lead series #KizaziMoto by The wonderful folks over at @Triggerfish. It's not surprising from them to be honest.

My floating head is hilarious to me. I wore a green dress so I blended into the background because of the greenscreen, as you can see in the pic with my friend Lee-anne.😂
#JoyRide update!
We’re back from the screening, and y’all, they were right; the movie does indeed objectify men and targets white people.
It was perfect!
Our full review is on its way, but know that Joy Ride was everything we could’ve asked for. It left us cackling and crying.
