I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things. TERRY PRATCHETT

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist. TERRY PRATCHETT

THE STATISTICS ARE HERE Percentages of female creatives - a thread:
Jennifer Lane Baker (@JenniferLaneB) profile pictureJennifer Lane Baker@JenniferLaneB8 Jun 2023
I keep a spreadsheet of the creative teams on every show I see. And it’s noticeable that the more money there is in a show, the fewer female creatives are involved in it.
