@rileyjsilverman @laynemorgan Echoing Guitar Center for fairly inexpensive “high fidelity earplugs.” I was going to go there if my Loops for Eras didn’t arrive in time. Looks like they have some in stock in multiple locations! Rite Aid too.
@thetvchick@andreawritestv @sbrelowzero @JoeMightLikeTV Fourthed? Look at all my picket line support staff pals lifting one another up. Such a strange but wonderful silver lining getting to meet/get to know you all (over a cup of Dean’s). May everyone land somewhere great… and maybe we even get to work together one day. 💖✊
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 🏴☠️🏳️🌈
@AlannaBennett Unequivocally “At Last” by Etta James (Eva Cassidy’s version also lovely).
Honorable, nostalgic mention: “I’ll Never Stop Loving You” from the deluxe version of Britney Spears’ debut album. The song I imagined dancing to at my future wedding as a kid.

@2degreesofalie If the vertigo doesn’t subside once you’ve recovered, I’d consider an ENT. Crystals in ear can get dislodged during illness & cause dizziness. If it comes w/ nausea, you might ask for an anti-nausea medication. My dr. first said ginger chews/mint tea, but that didn’t cut it!
@2degreesofalie Same. It’s the worst! I’m sorry you’re going through that right now. I hope you feel better soon! I’m unfortunately still dealing w/ some brain fog months out, but it passed quickly for everyone else I know.
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🤞✊
@carlos_cisco I only caught the end… but looks like @DanaBraziel or @CreativeK may have been recording!
Thank you for a wonderful extra long day today and for that really lovely preWGA show of hands and appreciation to us and SAG.🤞for the WGA and everyone that follows.
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.
@carolinerenard_ Ugh sorry. Seems LA CVS locations aren’t getting all at once, e.g., 8000 Sunset has it but 7500 Melrose says TBD after 9/18 (RIP my appt). If you can’t find a convenient/local one now, I’d book something, call ahead, but keep an eye out as I’ve seen new appts drop all day.
Writers assistants, writers PAs, script coordinators, showrunner's assistants: this one's for you! Join us for our 9/23 farm bundle pick up in partnership w/ EarthMatterz and @Paper_Plastik! Sign up for a pick up slot at link in bio. Can't wait to see & thank you for all you do.
