constantly amazed by how normalized botox is so i wrote about it for my monthly piece on medium https://t.co/Ju23J9rKwY

[Paulina Duque @paulinavduque]

i breakup with someone and instantly my creativity comes back tenfold. anyone know the science behind this?

[Paulina Duque @paulinavduque]

it pains me and disappoints me on a daily basis that there is not a high speed railway connecting my best friend (in minneapolis) and i (in dc)

just found out @tanneradell is saying "different sheets" not "dipping cheese" in Whiskey Blues.. this whole time i thought we were talking about eating our feelings LMAO

i met god in a minnesotan italian deli (i ate a sandwich i can't stop thinking about at a place called capones a week ago while in minnesota)

[Paulina Duque @paulinavduque]

all these stories get a Merrill F from me for lying about the support for the liberation of palestine

[Paulina Duque @paulinavduque]

Just a few of the horribly inaccurate articles published by corporate media. As someone that was amongst the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people attending the rally I can assure everyone the media is underrepresenting the turnout and the support for Palestine

I prefer emails - not because I’m a gen z - but because I prefer having written evidence of what we’ve spoken about

I can't stop laughing about this book I saw yesterday in which the only TWO reviews listed were of the author reviewing his own book

If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write-off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.

@ichinoy Happy birthday! 🎉

Just saw OPPENHEIMER, an in-depth character exploration of the people who built the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that killed a quarter million Japanese civilians. Film is 3 hours long and features zero Japanese people.

Using Covid as a backdrop to say writers and actors are being unreasonable and disruptive while companies and CEOs made record profits during that time and after? Wild.

[Sara B. @sara_bee]

Per SAG-AFTRA's lawyer, the studio bosses wanted to be able to scan background actors, pay them for one day of work, and then use AI to generate images of that person not just for that project but any future project, without paying the actor or getting consent.

@tylerevansokay crazy how a Hollywood writer average salary is barely a living wage in California ( 1st pic is Smart Asset study, 2nd pic is Fox 11 Los Angeles)

[Paulina Duque @paulinavduque]

i hate seeing rhetoric that places the responsibility of the shut down on writers and workers when human rights really shouldn't be up for debate and no one should be exploited. capitalist exploitation & greed left workers with no choice but to demand what's theirs

[Paulina Duque @paulinavduque]

hear me out... the SAG-AFTRA strike didn't cause Hollywood to shut down. Capitalist greed and exploitation caused the shut down. Allowing people rights to their work, living wages and benefits, and proper credit/ pay for their work shouldn't be an issue BLAME THE CAPITALIST

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

SAG-AFTRA has voted to strike, joining picketing writers in what will amount to an effective shutdown of Hollywood https://t.co/HedKbW9cNP

Matt Damon ALSO said: “If our leadership is saying the deal isn't fair, then we gotta hold strong until we get a deal that's fair for working actors.

It's a difference between having health care and not for a lot of actors, and we gotta do what's right for them.”

[Mike Elk (Mike Elk on Bluesky - Moving There) @MikeElk]

BREAKING: @sagaftra prez @frandrescher has moved her 160,000 members to strike w/ 11,000 Writers Guild members.

1st time in 60 years, the two unions will strike together.

Union will hold presser at noon in LA today to kick off strike! #sagaftrastrong https://t.co/Fcdxjpdo75

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?
