@JLisaJay THIS

[New York Times Arts @nytimesarts]

The MacArthur Fellowship, known colloquially as the “genius” award, is meant to recognize “exceptional creativity.” Many of this year’s winners do work relating to social and racial justice. https://t.co/HHPT9KYyYc

—Native characters = a Native consultant is fine

—Native community = you need Native writers

—Native Story = You need to have a Native co-writer/creator

It’s not hard. Don’t be a villain. If it feels like you could be exploitative. You probably are. Let us tell our stories.

"All of us hold each other up. Let’s link arms." Latina TV creators Tanya Saracho, Gloria Calderón Kellett and Ilana Peña discuss how they've made uplifting fellow Latinx TV writers a major part of their work. https://t.co/xuVhqcFSjt # via @LatinoVoices

The $3.5 trillion budget blueprint would allow Senate Democrats to build legislation that would boost spending on health care, child and elder care, education and climate change, paid for higher taxes on the wealthy, large inheritances and corporations. https://t.co/pANmHf6Rbm

[NPR @NPR]

Humans are responsible for climate-driven extreme weather, according to a new report from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. NPR’s Rebecca Hersher reports it’s the most authoritative summary on climate change in nearly a decade.

And then the plant…ATE THEIR FACES.

Some of you have never dated theatre lesbians and it shows…

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Meanwhile the people in power call themselves "climate leaders" as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites.
This is the world they are leaving for us.

[Lucas Brown Eyes @LucasBrownEyes]

America has engrained anti-Native prejudice baked into society.

It doesn’t matter how much “research” you do. You’re probably going to get Native stories wrong. Most likely, you’re going to perpetuate stereotypes or racism. That’s why you need a Native writer.

[Sarah Sellman @SNSellman]

@amandadeibert Honestly would love the recipe, if you don’t mind a stranger taking advantage of all the detailed work that goes into something like that.

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

#Canada just had a temperature of nearly 50°C (Lytton, 49.6°C)
"Without human-induced climate change, it would have been almost impossible ...as the chances of natural occurrence is once every tens of thousands of years," says @metoffice scientist

@johnnyharpoon But how is your soul?

Hello, hi, hello!! As #pridemonth ends, I’m spreading the word about #TheRainbowPages - An Independent Database of LGBTQ+ Writers. Uplift and hire LGBTQ+ Writers! Retweet this list! Check it out at https://t.co/xsBPkd8MoO. #WGAPrideBoost

AND she organized this campaign, is the Founder/Producer of Tisch Represents, and the co-host of the podcast “Queer for the Right Reasons: Lesbian Reflections on Bachelor Nation.”

[Sarah Sellman @SNSellman]

A queer activist and artist, @kkressal has twice been named one of Go Magazine’s “100 Women We Love.” She sold a queer dramedy to @UCP; she is developing a limited series w/ MGM-Orion, and a family crime drama with @abcsignature. #WGAPrideBoost #WGAStaffingBoost

[Katie Mathewson @katiemathewson]

I think one of the most shocking stats in our "Dear Hollywood" letter is that 72% of TV writers on the Rainbow Pages are low-level or have not staffed.

SEVENTY TWO PERCENT.

Y'all are sleeping on queer writers, and it shows.

This #WGAPrideBoost is kind and lovely and worthy of the real @tan_bean seeing it. (Though maybe it also applies to the accidental "Tanbean"...? Who's to say!)

Thank you @SethHarrington 🌈❤️ The feeling is mutual.

Once again, for the cheap seats in the back... #HireQueerWriters
