Every writer on a show I'm running receives a single-spaced SEVEN PAGE document about the role of a writer on set. It is SEVEN PAGES SINGLE SPACED. I wrote it because I'm pissed off that so few writers get on set experience when writers on set are integral to good TV. #wgastrong On set writers are there to collaborate with every department to get the story told. We know what happens next. Writing doesn't end until the episode airs. The fact that these companies don't understand this just shows you how little they know about production.

Okay, here's the thing about saying "My body, my choice" when it comes to vaccines. No one is forcing you to get vaccinated. It IS actually your choice. But unlike pregnancy, which actually only affects the pregnant person, your vaccine status affects your community. (thread) It is your choice whether or not to be vaccinated, but restaurants, schools, i dunno, film sets... these are communities. And in community, we make a social pact to one another (OR AT LEAST WE SHOULD).

I have been lucky enough to have only been pregnant twice, each one resulting in a human being that I love deeply and thank my lucky stars for every day. Both pregnancies were healthy and "easy" -- though they took actual years to recover from. (Thread) They both required physical therapy. One required getting painful cortisol shots in my heel so that when I walked it didn't feel like I was stepping on broken glass. Both pregnancies exacerbated pre-existing depression and anxiety and required medication and therapy.

Why (Y) is the world of Y: THE LAST MAN so apocalyptic? The writers and I did a ton of research (led by an incredible researcher named Amy Hammond) and we learned a lot of super disturbing shit. A thread. The US economy (and many other country's economies) are "just in time" economies, which mean that they rely on multiple truck deliveries a day (a NYC grocery store, without deliveries from trucks would run out of food in about 3 days). abc.net.au/news/2020-05-0…
