A TV lesson: my first writing job was for a cool MTV show and we shared a floor with a kids’ show. We made fun of it amongst ourselves because we thought we were the shit. We were cancelled after 1 season and the kids’ show lasted many, became beloved, and was called Blue’s Clues

a short 🧵! Back in May, when it became clear we were going on strike, I got real sad. Because I remembered the last strike. How the AMPTP plan to play unions against each other worked. How the picket lines swelled at first but after a few weeks, thinned out. Not this time.

It's helpful to remember a little history: the DGA tried bargaining back in Feb and got nowhere. So they called it off. Then they went back to bargaining once they had the leverage of writers on the picket lines. The headline on their deal right now should be "Strikes Work"
