A coworker asked me if she could “phone a friend”, I said “sure, what’s up?”. She says, “I have a super anxious teen that needs an IV, would you be willing to go look?”, me: “of course.”
I go in, introduce myself, tell her what I’m there to do. She immediately says she doesn’t
The almost silence before she pops up as if the entire stadium is holding their breath and the absolute chaos when everyone sees she’s wearing blue (including my goat/chicken scream) best moment ever
My sister just saw Oppenheimer and something went wrong and half the screen was pink for the last 20 minutes of the movie so she got the true Barbenheimmer experience

A reminder that the chief "unreasonable" things the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are both asking for are:

-Streaming residuals falling in line with television

People are going to be protesting, appearances will be canceled, productions will be delayed, and I just need y'all to remember strikes are supposed to be disruptive and direct any and all frustration and criticism at the studios where it belongs.
Disney+ removed both seasons of a show I’d staffed on from the platform, ensuring that I’ll never make another dollar in residuals from it, or be able to watch it again.
Mind you, the show gave them 11 Emmy Noms last year.
What’s “realistic” about that?
I haven’t acted much as an adult, but I WAS on a recurring character on one of the most critically acclaimed animated shows of all time, as well playing an actual Disney villain.
But thanks to streaming, I have never once made enough to qualify for SAG-AFTRA healthcare.
We need to #ENDTB and to do it we must make the best treatments available to everyone who needs them-especially the most vulnerable communities globally.
