My current obsessions with "Derry Girls" and "Sex Lives of College Girls" prove that all I want is content about women in their teens created by women in their 40s and played by women in their 30s.

Besides meditating, best thing you can do to honour Lynch is to spend four years making something really weird for basically no money with your friends.

And one perfect tweet.
To make it as a screenwriter, you must have two polished feature scripts, a polished pilot with bible, one quirky one-act play, one epic poem in iambic pentameter, a book of spells, ten stone tablets containing the words of God, a ransom note, and at least one famous parent.

Brilliant dynamo @carringtonwalsh is $4k away from funding her creeptastic short film. Your donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE b/c @filmindependent selected her for their program. Donate if you can, even $10 helps! What is an ocean but a multitude of drops?
Here’s the tl;dr: I’m making a short film. It’s a supernatural thriller centering Black women’s stories. I have 26 days to crowdfund the $15,000 budget on it. Can you donate $25 so that I can create my dream project? @letthemythbe my.filmindependent.org/LetTh…

The crossover ep we need

Honored to be part of #TheGreyList24 amongst other writers born before the telegraph was invented. "In Vitro Veritas" is "Grey's Anatomy" -- but make it rom-com. 👩🏽‍⚕️🥼💉🧫❤️

I was looking for more actions to take for Gaza. Came across @AneraOrg getting menstrual products to those who need them
The crisis in #Gaza has been catastrophic for all aspects of life, including women’s menstrual health. In response, Anera is providing hygiene kits that contain menstrual pads. Learn more: anera.org/blog/women-in-gaza… #menstrualhealth #menstrualhygiene

THANK YOU to the NegComm and every WGA and pre-WGA writer that worked so hard on behalf of everyone. I think we all need to spiritually stay on strike against Late Stage Capitalism b/c that shit is coming for us all. But for now, yay writers!!

is this a good time to remind everyone that I have several tv samples, am repped by Zero Gravity & am looking to be staffed? & that staffing people who are 35+ and got into this business late & have a lot of life experience is a v cool & even radical thing to do? just wondering

On the w-t-f-w-t-h-Bob-Iger front, my @DisneyPlus subscription is jumping from $79/year to $139/year? like nearly double!? for the same thing? They won't pay the writers or actors, where is my $$ going!? Are we at the point on the strike front where we just cancel everything?

Bob Iger has big Logan Roy energy rn. Can’t pick a successor, wld rather die than retire, doesn’t know that human beings work at his company…

It's easy for me to agree with this because I got laid off in a "corporate restructuring" but 100% we should have a general strike. Shut it. All. Down.
there really should be a general strike. we should all be striking.
