'One thing that’s special about our union, is that we don’t only represent TV and film writers. Our membership also spans several other dying industries.' – Host Josh Gondelman kicks off with jokes at the 2024 #WritersGuildAwards

my college advisor once told me “art is not about mutual pleasure or even mutual meaning, but mutual witness” 🥲

In another attempt to discourage our members from exerting their rights, we received an email today saying we are “not allowed to distribute, solicit, or circulate any written or printed materials in work areas during work times.” Per policy, our informational material is banned.

“AI is a rapidly advancing technology posing numerous real-world consequences. There must be strong legal guardrails put in place to ensure that this tool is not abused by companies to the detriment of a writer’s work.” - WGAE President WGA East Prez Lisa Takeuchi Cullen

This how you walk on the sand so you don’t alert the worms

In 2021 my friend Henry had a stroke. Since then, he requires assistance for most activities.

With some light editing from me and another friend, he's started blogging, typing one letter at a time with his good hand.

This week we published his 3rd post:

Sony's overall profits are up, so what are they doing? Laying off workers at the studios that make their most profitable, lucrative games in a blood sacrifice to investors. Repulsive. And yet another effect of the massive spree of mergers and concentration in the industry.

VICE management is so incompetent they can't avoid embarrassing themselves in a meeting that was supposed to be for the remaining employees, but whose invite was shared with laid off people.

Remember, these people make ~800k a year.

wow i’m 35 now!! this year i got laid off twice but also got engaged to the love of my life so you know what! i’m still very hopeful and excited about the future 🥰 to love, laughter, and LECHON 🥂

Also in spring 2020 the union asked Nancy if she'd take a paycut to avoid covid layoffs like other media executives were doing and she responded in writing that those execs had stock options and she didn't so it wasn't the same (wish I still had this email but can't find it)

As a result of the bankruptcy filing, the company, then, couldn’t pay severance. Such curious timing! Can’t believe they happened so close to one another!
