I voted for Kamala Harris. Yes, I want to support women’s rights. But I also want to live in a world where hate speech, xenophobia, and racism are put behind us. Sending every one of you a tidal wave of hope for a better future. Let's all prioritize mental health this week. ❤️

I’m a simple man; I like beautiful sunsets, long walks on the beach and McNuggets in spooky Halloween costumes.

People think writers and actors are soft. And we ARE attention-seeking validation magnets. But pursuing a career in the arts is also brave, foolhardy, and kinda batshit. We have all withstood incredible pain to get here, and we can take much more. #SAGAFTRA #WGA #Solidarity

Remember when folks on the line were like “ooo writers got hot” “gonna find love on the picket line!” Then SAG started showing up & now every meme is some goblin next to a beautiful unicorn & everyone’s like “WGA with SAG!” I miss the old days… Like 10 days ago #WritersStrike

To every aspiring writer out there. Don’t let this scare you off. Don’t stop telling your stories. Don’t let your voice be silenced. We will keep walking. You keep dreaming.

Let’s make sure we’re using the term scabbing correctly. Employees from our sibling unions are not scabbing. The employees driving into the studios aren’t scabs and aren’t the CEOs pulling in 250 million. We all have the same fight here against corporate greed.

This week was a reminder that we are community. And we’ve all struggled at various times in our careers but prevailed with talent and resolve. Well, they’re about to find out what happens when that resolve is multiplied by 10,000 strong. Loved what I was witness to on the lines.

Please don’t feel weird coming to picket! Tons of people are pre-wga or in another union or writers of a different sort coming to support. I have met a bunch of people who just come for the day to show their support and it’s super appreciated!
