@natefederman.bsky.social is back with another very useful 🧵 on finding hidden opportunities and staying ready! #ScriptSky
When I was a production assistant on The Office, the only writing of mine that anyone read was the catering menu I typed up each day for the crew. But I realized the menu was my chance to impress the writers. So here’s a quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread on HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES.

While unionized Starbucks workers are on strike for a fair contract, don’t cross the picket line!
Show solidarity — like Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.
GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

It's not like I forgot that Pan's Labyrinth was a very emotional movie, but I don't know, maybe I thought a rewatch after almost 20 years would be fine and dandy and not affect me? I was wrong. Don't mind me, a little Monday night sobbing never hurt anyone.

I’m out here trying to finish this year’s scripts for my screenwriting MFA, plus revise my other scripts I wrote outside of school, plus do this semester’s research paper… so of course my brain said “Want an idea for a novel?” No! I don’t know how to write a novel. But now I want to! #Scriptsky

Similar to Hulu and Disney+ actions.

Starbucks' CEO is paid $95.8 MILLION.
The median worker at Starbucks makes $14,674 a year.
Instead of recognizing its worker union, Starbucks writes off its union-busting expenses on its taxes.
That's why Starbucks workers are striking today.
I won't cross the picket line.
