I write stuff

Deadpool is a rom-com and you can't change my mind about it.

[Alliance of Women Directors @AWD_Directors]

Alliance of Women Directors congratulates Greta Gerwig on breaking that Barbie Dreamhouse Glass Ceiling! With an estimated $155 million domestic opening, BARBIE becomes the largest weekend opening for any female director - solo or otherwise!

@DiscussingFilm How interesting that Black Mirror's Joan is Awful was released a few weeks before the strike.

[Ana with one N @ana_mancholas]

Ok but how fucking good is Nimona? 🤯

[Ana with one N @ana_mancholas]

Sooo... I didn't like The Idol.

[Ana with one N @ana_mancholas]

Joan is Awful is great.

My "future husband" protecting my "future rights". This is true love.

@SandmanNews I'll watch anything with Peter Capaldi in it.

[Jace @JaceSerrano]

I know you've heard it before, but to break in the industry, all it takes is finding that one person who gets your vision. And to find that one person, all you have to do is spend $10,000 or more across 100+ screenwriting contests and services over a period of about 3 to 10 years

@akoukouli And here I am in Spain thinking 27€ for a similar deal is expensive.

Getting this kind of feedback after several shitty weeks is the best feeling ever.

@faheyslvr Not me having just started re-watching OUAT last week and not caring at all about the awful CGI

Me: I don't want children

Also me: *Sees a video of @benbarnes with a kid and imagines a whole life as a family*

@Moviesr_net #ShadowAndBoneSeason3 's future is at risk because Netflix refuses to change the things that don't work. Support the writer's strike and we'll get better seasons with better storytelling for every show.

[Ana with one N @ana_mancholas]

@lifeigaveaway So I don't see why they would announce a renewal or a spin-off before the end of the strike.

[Ana with one N @ana_mancholas]

@lifeigaveaway The thing is, the writer's guild just went on a strike. It's not just about writing and signing new stuff. Anything that hasn't been delivered will not be delivered until they reach an agreement. Even if SOC is written Netflix won't get a single script until the strike is over.

One of the worst issues of our time is that we only validate artists if they earn a living at their art. We've reduced meaningful artistic careers to gig rubble. Almost no writers can earn a living at their craft- which the strike is illustrating in full force.

Our mental health is on the line. It feels personal. It's a symptom of capitalism, but it doesn't feel that way when you get a call from your family who wants to know when you'll get a real job. Or you're a pro, embarrassed at how long it's been since you worked.

We have created a society where ONLY the elite artists can earn a living.

But art, and writing, is a function of the soul. It's a calling. It's deeply wounding and unfair to demand that every writer work 3 jobs to get by. There's no more time for art. There's no more energy for passionate expression. To give.

If failing feels personal to you (it does to all of us), just remember it's a symptom of a sick society. The disease that commodifies art and reduces people to widgets, while companies and executives enrich themselves on the backs of hard working people who are terrified they won't survive day to day or be able to feed their kids.

Everywhere the world is saying: you don't matter. So today we stand together and do the one thing we can do: withhold our gifts from a system that doesn't value them.

Stand strong. Stand together. We're standing for ourselves, and for the future we want our kids to inhabit. For the importance of earning a living wage at what we love. For just compensation!

Make sure you take time for self care. This is a big rupture, and possibly a long fight. Don't isolate. Find the others. Use your voice. Reach out.

I BELIEVE IN A WORLD WITH WRITERS AND ARTISTS AT THE HEART.

Ok but this is just Madame Hooch hanging out with Professor McGonagall during recess.

[James Moran @jamesmoran]

Regular stories and quotes from people saying "why don't writers write about this, or that, or the other" - I *guarantee* you we are ALL writing about those things, they're just not getting made. Every writer I know is writing them, including me. We want them too! Don't blame us!

Sooo The Walking Dead's 8th season is about the most boring season I have ever watched on anything. 😴😴😴
