The most I’ve ever heard my daughter laugh is me telling her the story of how I was 25 yrs old and told my grandma I’m trying to be a comedy writer and she took a long pause… then said “but you’re not funny.”
@ttwardle @ZipcarUK That’s ridiculous. It sounds like zip car wants you to bust the window with a hammer and get your stuff out and let them deal with the mess.
The strike shirts store is now closed. $102k total donations on the year.
But fyi, my union printer @tonytribby is a MASSIVE supporter of the entertainment community and is here for any on-demand shirt needs you got. Wrap gifts. Holiday gifts. Hard worker + fair prices. DM HIM!
Just made our FINAL donation to the ECF for $2,000, bringing the total to $102,000.
Thank you to everyone who supported! And just because these strikes are over...
DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE ECF! They're an amazing organization and need our support 365.

This will be hard to believe, but there was a time when studios wanted to make and distribute films. They accepted the risk that some would fail, others would profit. It was a wild time.
On Friday, I will be closing the https://t.co/RqFU2OEhdt store.
If you want a shirt, sweatshirt, hoodie or tote bag before then, EVERYTHING IS 25% OFF. All items will automatically discount in the shopping cart.
All items union printed.
Every penny to the ECF. Thread 1/x
To all of our friends on the SAG-AFTRA lines. As the weather turns colder, we've got you covered.
SWEATSHIRTS AND HOODIES NOW AVAILABLE!
All items union printed.
Every penny to @alifeinthearts
Over $100k raised so far.

Always one of my favorite festivals to be a part of ever since I attended as a grad student at @UTAustin a million years ago. Sad not to make it to #AFF30 in person this year. I will very much miss the panels, the script talk and the queso.
#AFF30 welcomes Tripper Clancy as one of our judges this year! A screenwriter who dabbles in TV and film, his credits include STUBER for 20th Century Studios, I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS for Netflix, and DIE HART for Roku. We're beyond excited to have his expertise at the festival!
@tschrack@aggiebrett@UTAustin Maudies, Gueros, Valentinas, Matt's El Rancho, Polvo's, even Torchy's or Tacodeli, and a lot of other spots. If you don't find the queso it'll find you.
One day I will be thrilled to shut down this store since that’ll mean both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA got fair deals.
But that hasn’t happened yet.
So I’m gonna keep selling shirts and raising money for the ECF until it does.
As @sagaftra returns to the table, just a friendly reminder that we still have a TON of shirts and tote bags for sale (everything you see 👇)
*Every item union printed
*Every penny to @alifeinthearts
*$100k donated so far and counting

As the dust on this strike settles one thing has become clear.
The deal took roughly 10 days.
10 days. That’s it. The studio CEOs got serious and we had a deal in 10 days.
When those 10 days happened was not the decision of the writers. It was the decision of the AMPTP.
Today seems like a good day to announce that with this new $10k donation...
WE HAVE NOW DONATED $100,000 to @alifeinthearts!
It's an unbelievable feeling and it's a credit to all of YOU who purchased shirts, hats and tote bags.
Here's a quick thread on how we got here 1/x
Thrilled with the tentative agreement!
We’ll keep selling shirts until our union says the strike is officially over.
Then we’ll keep selling @sagaftra shirts until their strike is officially over.
About to hit $100k for @alifeinthearts but won’t stop ‘til we’ve all got deals
