Yeah, I wish the world was a little (a lot) less of a dumpster fire, but otherwise, things are okay 💜💜💜

I figured. Social media has gotten ridiculous. I feel like this is one of the only truly somewhat safe places right now. I’m just glad you’re around. Hope everything’s been ok 💜💜💜

How’s everyone liking Bluesky? I feel like I should be spending more time here, but I’m also lazy. I’m looking for incentive, please. 😊

Thread from our amazing city controller.
Re: LAFD Budget
Seeing City officials in the press ignore the severe impacts of these budget cuts, especially the ones covering for their poor budget decisions to cut a majority of departments' budgets & even AFTER Chief Crowley told them about the impacts these cuts have had, is DISGRACEFUL.

It’s been so long since I’ve been there. I didn’t know they took it out. That was part of its charm. :(

Seeing it written like this just made me feel so much better about my brain. As a late-diagnosed ADHDer, I’ve had a lot to unpack, so thanks

“At the end of the day…by printing these stories they are effectively taking the side of management in a labor dispute. That's a bad look for anyone, it's frankly a weird look when one of the groups striking is the writers.”

I love wandering through a bookstore and just randomly checking out the descriptions of the books. I never need a reason to go to a bookstore. Otherwise, word of mouth or internet chatter.

Starting my day with TNG ep “Relics” and all I can think about is how I wish we had gotten a few more episodes of Geordi & Scotty. @levarburton.bsky.social & James Doohan had such great chemistry together.

Pathways to advancement have dried up. I know a Black TV writer who has worked on three or four series and never been on set, which means he can't yet hope to run a room.
Without pathways to advancement and norming six-week gigs, marginalized writers will STAY marginalized. Same faces at the top.

not me, who's only been in one writer's room, having to explain why yesterday's Variety article decrying minimum staffing demands was B.S. to someone much more experienced in the industry as a director.
The WGA polled showrunners about minimum staffing. That's why it's such a key strike issue.

I feel this hard. I miss the people I met on Twitter
For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.
