Our side of this negotiation is asking for 2% of the profits we help generate. Their side says fuck you, sleep on the street. (And that’s their PR strategy!) https://deadline.com/2023/07/writers-strike-hollywood-studios-deal-fight-wga-actors-1235434335/

got to talk to Misty Copeland about motherhood, dancing while pregnant, and the connective tissue of movement.
Misty Copeland on Playing a Woman About to Be Unhoused and Dancing While ‘Very Pregnant’
She spoke to Jezebel about her new short film Flower, returning to dance, and ballet's "bubble of elitism."

Taking this moment to share a piece by @emilyleibert.bsky.social that I’ve read and reread: “But their brilliance cannot cast a shadow over those who fell in love with ballet only to find it had destroyed or excluded them by design.” Read it: https://jezebel.com/ballet-pain-better-future-1850528838
