Hey TV fans. Just a reminder that, if your favourite shows have ever felt a bit like they saved you or your mental health - especially during Covid - we have a really great opportunity now to show our support in return, for the writers behind those shows. #WritersStrike#WGA
That's a brilliant double sparkle you've gone and added to your galaxy, @A3ArtistsAgency. Go get 'em, Benson gals! So excited to see what you do next. ❤️
Thrilled to announce @shawnabenson and I have teamed up with a powerhouse group of agents over at @A3ArtistsAgency! Excited to work with Doug Fronk, Adam Kanter, Kacey Muraszko, and Martin Spencer and the whole A3 crew. Let's GoooOOoooo!
‘Indigenous people deserved so much better.. The worst of Australia has been on display.’
Sadly, true.
Irrespective of tomorrow’s outcome, we will need to confront the racial prejudice that has become so public, central and normalised in recent months. https://t.co/ZnkdkqtHwv
@thegates0fmel Life is a hurricane. There's so much debris, and in the end, we're all just souls needing grace and a safe, soft place to land. It's something that even on your toughest day, you're making for someone else by being authentic about you. So thank YOU. Hope you're doing ok today. ❤️
@thegates0fmel The world is a mean, wearying, and soul-squeezing place to live in these days. Hope that flatness is replaced soon by happiness, hope, and a peace that buoys the heart of you in every good and lovely way. You deserve all the kind and wonderful things.
@chaoticguitar Beautiful friend. Just seen this. Sending you all the love, kindness & tender comfort in the world as you move through this terrible time of loss. He had the sweet, beautiful face of one who knew he was utterly treasured and belonged. I hope his memory is a light to you soon. Xx
@brittania_@samcaseys If you two wander round the house asking "Darling, how long has it been since we danced," and responding "Hours." then I am a) starting a Tumblr, and b) officially ruined forever with this level of in-loveness to which the rest of us mere mortals may only aspire. (p.s. ILYSM ❤️)
Here is a comparison of our initial asks, compared with the AMPTP's offer as it stood before we went on strike, and where we ended up. We didn't win everything, but we TRIPLED what they offered before the strike.

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.
• Guaranteed 2-step deals for screenwriters
• Guarantee that writers be kept on through production
• Individual P&H contributions for writing teams
• Script fees for staff writers
• AND A HELL OF A LOT MORE.
The details of the new Writers Guild contract are out. We won:
• Success-based residuals
• Strong limitations on A.I.
• Minimum writers room staffing
• Guaranteed compensation and 13-week minimums for Comedy/Variety writers in streaming

@Writtenndust My heart breaks for you, lovely Hannah. Sending you all tenderness, grace and condolence as you grieve the loss of your beautiful fur kid. May her memory be a comfort & kindness in times ahead, a joy again one day somewhere round the bend of all things, and a light to you always.
@DanielaElser Whatever your expertise or their flaws, this is ethically poor commentary. It's using your platform, with an exhaustingly smug amount of white privilege, to gaslight about a problem you contribute to. However they can do better, so can you. https://t.co/y0nKagOcTE
@geetikalizardi Any time. 😊 I think of all the ways writers turn up to serve the world around them. You tell the stories the rest of us escape into when we need relief from the anxiety of being alive. You deserve every kind & grateful word you get & I hope you get the outcome you deserve, soon.
