"I sincerely hope the strike gets resolved, and writers are given a fair deal as soon as possible. This is an iconic, meaningful American industry & we need the writers—and all the workers—to tell the stories of our nation, and the stories of all of us." - @POTUS #WGAStrong #1u
Thanks @AngelaParkerFIT. That means a lot coming from someone with your savvy. 🤗
🎤As a speaker + facilitator I'm constantly looking for ways up-level my game.
@LParres Words Delivered gives me actionable tools + techniques to be a better speaker & a better writer.
Plus, as an award winning TV comedy writer she's so damn funny. I feel pure JOY when reading.

Every writer I know is fucking terrified of a strike. Why? Because we are ALL ALREADY BROKE. But that’s not on us. That’s on the system we’re fighting against. A system that spends $30mil on exec bonuses and will buy showrunners Teslas but won’t pay people enough to live on.

Over the past 3 years I’ve been in 3 writers rooms, optioned 2 pilots, sold a studio feature on a pitch & wrote & rewrote & polished it, and more. None of that stopped me from having to go on EBT for a while.
The current system is unsustainable. Vote yes to authorize a strike.
One of the most beautiful, moving moments in recent government. Moments after one of the most shameful. I stand with the #TennesseeThree. Thank you, @Justinjpearson @brotherjones_ @VoteGloriaJ. #hallelujuah #EndGunViolence #EndGunViolenceNow #forthepeople

Loving the spark and energy of Justina Miles, the ASL performer for the #SuperBowl. Just fantastic! 🤟🏾 #FentyBowl

My father’s “dream” wasn’t palpable to the white masses, including politicians.
He challenged militarism and sought to eradicate it.
He worked to end poverty, as caused by extreme capitalism and materialism.
We need to know the authentic King…The Inconvenient King.

Your “to do” list is the list of all the things you don't want to do.
Nobody needs a list to remember what they want to do.
Tips from @hkhanna's talk on email deliverability
🔵 Run your #email thru spamcheck.postmarkapp.com/ to see how spammy it is
🔵 Use SPF, DKIM, DMARC authentication
🔵 Don't use URL shorteners like bit.ly
