It is scary to be a writer who is very classically *between jobs* and now suddenly without an agent but I love my union and live for this drama.

Also I know all this stuff feels insidery but I hope actions like this one ultimately help people in other industries take down the capitalist structures that are syphoning money and power away from the workers.
ALSO if you’re a showrunner who wants to hire me know that I am extremely fun in a room & on my last job ate upwards of 300 rice krispie treats
Actually, for anyone interested, I’d be happy to get some letters of rec from those who can vouch for how many Rice Krispie treats I ate.

are there video games where I just get to walk around? maybe collect things? I don't want to fight and I don't want to figure things out. what I want to do is walk around.
I've already played a lot of animal crossing, what I want to do is...walk around somewhere else
my dream game would be luigi's mansion but instead of having to fight bosses, you just get to...walk around

Everyone should read everything Taylor Garron (@casualafro) has ever written because she is so fucking funny and smart and always spot on and also looks incredible in every Reductress photo she has modeled in. A quadruple threat.

It’s unsolicited tv writer advice season and something I can’t stop thinking about rn is how so many of us who have been lucky enough to make a living writing tv like to pretend it’s a merit based system because it validates us being a part of that system.
It is obviously not a merit based system - that’s why we all know like 100 people within it who continue to fail upward. We can’t fault people for looking at a system that has failed them and others for wanting to find a different path forward.
And the notion of “you’re not a good writer until you’ve taken the exact same path that I have” sucks because this is a “need experience to get experience” kind of business and wow that makes it hard to push through.

Haha planned a trip to Europe months ago, got to the airport and found out the airline NO LONGER EXISTED. @Expedia is taking zero responsibility & we keep getting emails like “how was your flight?!” What the absolute hell?? Please do something Expedia I am a comedy influencer.
A truly lovely customer service rep encouraged us to buy a last minute flight while we were stranded at the airport & made us confident we’d be reimbursed but now everyone is saying... non
My Europe trip has now been one night at the JFK hotel, about 60 hours on the phone with Expedia’s corporate, 90 million hours worrying about how much we’re spending on last minute flights, and like fifty Dutch windmills

Last year for our 2nd anniversary my husband made a book of me sleeping in all sorts of places & it’s wild that we, as a nation, are not talking about it more Image
There’s text too Image
I can sleep literally anywhere Image
