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.

“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.”

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.

Say what you will about my employer, but @comicbook.bsky.social doesn't pull this shit, and we employ a bunch of really talented writers who get a living wage and benefits.
AVC has sucked for ages now but this one still hurts.
