These are essential protections that the companies told us, to our faces, that they would NEVER give us. But because of our solidarity, because they literally cannot make a dollar without us, they bent, then broke, and gave us what we deserve. WE WON.
@clapifyoulikeme Zack Snyder's Justice League. like, the entire plot already revolves around Bruce's total devotion to and unswerving faith in Clark, you barely even need a rewrite.
As we enter Week 13 of the WGA strike, I hope every person out there who isn’t in the entertainment industry knows that our guild is ready to go back to the negotiating table with the AMPTP. They are deliberately and intentionally refusing to as a means of punishment. It’s evil.
For those of you not in the industry, wondering how talks are going: THEY AREN'T
The AMPTP isn't meeting with anyone. They aren't negotiating. They are quite literally waiting us out, hoping enough of us starve and lose our housing.
That's it. That's their negotiating tactic.
Looking for ways to support the #WGAstrike and #SAGAFTRAstrike? Amplifying our demands via social media, donating places such as the Entertainment Community Fund, and of course showing up to pickets all help! Read more via @washingtonpost ⬇️

I'm tired of dishonest arguments.
Nobody took out student loans expecting the federal government to bail them out.
People took out student loans because education has been priced out of reach.
People took out student loans believing they would be able to pay them back.
I heard from inside one of the major studios... The fact that the AMPTP hasn't broken the WGA's spirit yet is driving the upper brass NUTS and they HATE seeing writers having fun on the picket line.
As we head into week seven of the strike, keep your spirits up. It's working.
Taking the blocking function away really is the perfect encapsulation of what the reactionary “free speech” crusade has always been about: The freedom of some people to subject others to their speech, their worldview – to force them to listen and endure.
If you’re a woman in any kind of public-facing job—or just one who talks about gender—social media will be filled with misogynist invective, weird obsessiveness, and threats of violence. Without tools like blocking, it will become unpleasant to the point of unusable for women.
I can genuinely say that in the last months nothing has brought me more concentrated joy than my Dropout subscription. inspires me to bring more unrestrained creativity and unbridled chaos to my work! #emmyforgamechanger
So, inspired by Hank, we are in fact submitting Game Changer for an Emmy.

A remarkable thing just happened in a deep red Florida county: For hours on end, teachers, parents, and kids pushed back ferociously against right wing attacks on "woke indoctrination" in their schools.
Ordinary parents everywhere are saying: Enough. 1/

A huge thank you to every public librarian out there putting up a pride display today, putting up posters and rainbows and tons of beautiful books by queer authors front and center face out. In this climate of hatred and persecution, you're doing a hard thing. And the right one.
I warned, repeatedly, that the drafters of these laws made no distinction between drag and being trans.
That the laws would be targeted to trans people.
Republicans in the legislature objected when @ZoAndBehold pointed out it applied to trans people.
Didn’t let her speak.
