Me. I did this program. And I might be biased, but you can’t go wrong with any graduate from this program. It’s a remarkable group that I am so grateful to be a part of!

@peachiikoo Hi. Hello.

@rachem Better than new years!

[Writers Guild of America West @WGAWest]

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAStrike

@shawnwines Having flashbacks to the LSAT logic puzzles.

[Melissa Long (She/Her) @MeliWriter]

@laynemorgan Glad you were able to recharge and get some quality time with loved ones. We all deserve the happy moments too.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Seems like with this kind of data, it’d be pretty simple to calculate the residuals these actors and writers should receive for their unprecedented hit show. #WGAStrong

@carolinerenard_ Absolutely.

[Melissa Long (She/Her) @MeliWriter]

@iamsandrene Same.

🧵🧵🧵Time. Here’s why the WGA Strike has a lot to do with IATSE. We have seen already how negotiations and labor as a whole is inter connected. The AMPTP’s strategy here is multi-pronged.

@DanielleNicki I love YA. The characters are at a huge point of discovery. Everything is new, so much of it is about firsts. They are competent enough to engage in the world but not jaded or burdened by adulthood.

[Melissa Long (She/Her) @MeliWriter]

Taking a break from strike tweets to bring you this truth. They nailed it.

[The Road Jess Travelled @JessPected]

Very few het misogynists accept that they hate women because they believe a desire to have sex with women, to have them serve as caretakers & provide children, negates hatred. And that's a unique aspect of a bigotry that objectifies, desires, & relies on its target of hatred. 1/

How is it that Hollywood had figured out this nice system of making shows but also making money and also paying residuals and everyone was p happy with their day jobs and then a dvd rental company was like ok what if we just pretend like that model doesn’t work

I do think it’s interesting in these articles about Netflix boasting subscription increases due to their password sharing crackdown that there is no mention of cancellations. This is why streamers want to control their data and keep it secret… they get to control the narrative.

@TheBrianwrites Gabriel Alejandro Garza here. I'm a WGA Strike Captain, and the other writer standing next to Brian when this happened. I joined Twitter jsut know to post this:

@lillazuck @TheAnkler Oh good. Someone else noticed!

[SAG-AFTRA @sagaftra]

'SAG-AFTRA isn’t afraid of new tech and new ways of doing things. But, as the saying goes, “With great power comes great responsibility,” and these tools must be used to explore new frontiers of human creativity, not to sideline people in favor of a “good-enough” algorithm...'

[Peter Atencio @Atencio]

The deal put forth by the DGA leadership includes some great protections and major steps forward for members. Rate bumps, better work hours protections, and paid soft prep are all important and necessary improvements, among other good points of the deal. However,
