Hello. For anyone who still cares, I think I am going to have to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the planned sequel to take my hand, wreck my plans (that's my man). I've written a lot for it and was excited about it but I just don't think it's going to happen, at least not any time soon. I apologize if there was anyone who was anxiously awaiting it.

Sitting in my apartment listening to the sounds of people having fun in the hall and being too terrified to join them (even though I know most if not all of them): my life summed up in an experience. I think Iâm more likely to have a panic attack tonight than go to this Christmas party Iâm supposed to go toâŚ

Everyone needs to remember that yeah, the WGA deal is fucking awesome (for the writers, the studios can go cry in a corner)âbut if the AMPTP doesnât return to the table with SAG-AFTRA, like, immediately, then a bunch of shows and movies will get written and sold, but not filmed, and all this talk of âsaving the TV seasonâ will be essentially moot. And yeah, we should probably expect to see studio propaganda on that very topic in the coming days if SAG doesnât play the way the AMPTP wants them to

Adam Conover on the 2023 WGA Contract:
The details of the new Writers Guild contract are out. We won:
â˘Â Success-based residuals
⢠Strong limitations on A.I.
⢠Minimum writers room staffing
â˘Â Guaranteed compensation and 13-week minimums for Comedy/Variety writers in streaming
⢠Guaranteed 2-step deals for screenwriters
â˘Â 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.
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.

the hollywood studios are the dumbest people alive bc now every american city with a large film/TV industry (LA, NYC, Atlanta, etc) are going to be overrun by grown up theatre kids (professional writers and actors) hanging out together in public for months on end with nothing to do but emulate newsies. whole american cities are about to look like the inside of a suburban dennys at 11 pm on a saturday after a high school musical closes. they have trapped millions of people in a hell of unimaginable proportions.

I thought the whole âweâre gonna use AI to write shows and movies and pay you garbage wages to fix the scriptsâ was vile, but âwe want to scan background actors and then OWN THEIR LIKENESS TO USE IN PERPETUITY DESPITE PAYING THEM FOR ONLY A SINGLE DAYâS WORKâ is justâŚ
I donât have words for this. There are no words that capture the sheer revulsion I felt at reading that actual, real fucking offer from the AMPTP.

As someone who firmly believes with every fiber of their being that they are only good at one thing (writing), I should not have to fill out self-assessment surveys on literally any other aspect of my life.

As excited as I am for the fans in Brasil who get to go to TUDUM in person and as excited as I am about getting some new content for season 3, I do need to point out that Netflix clearly has all of this money to spend to build these elaborate rooms and fly out all of these big stars first class, but still refuse to pay their writers a living wage.

One of my colleagues asked me if I was around this week (weâre teachers on summer break) and I was like yeah, whatâs up? And they were like nothing, I just want to take you to lunch.
I feel like that tells you everything you need to know about how I view my relationships, that I automatically assumed they needed something from me and not just wanted to hang out đ
