If you AI everything, you kill a lot careers and there won't be enough people left with money to spend on your products. It will be a disaster for you, eventually. But I'd really rather you didn't destroy entire industries that I love in the meantime.
People are going to be protesting, appearances will be canceled, productions will be delayed, and I just need y'all to remember strikes are supposed to be disruptive and direct any and all frustration and criticism at the studios where it belongs.
You know what’s “ disruptive “ ? Not being able to pay your bills as a writer for things that are huge on streamers. having your work pulled within weeks of airing. not being able to earn any meaningful residuals as an actor. #sagaftra #wga #strike
My non industry friends ask me about these strikes a lot. This is for you: #SAGAFTRA #WGA #AMPTP #SAGAFTRAStrike #WGAStrike #ActorsStrike #WritersStrike
We are now a week away from spring break and we teach family life next week.
Taught this to one of my godchildren today: One of the most powerful things you can do to someone who dabbles in frenemy behavior is remove access. My momma taught me this early. It’s been one of the most fascinating tools in my toolbox, thus far. It serves me as an adult.
🧵 Imagine you went out for a meal. You’re happily enjoying your starter when the waiter whips it away from you & plonks down your main course. You’re a few bites in & then the same happens with your dessert, then your coffee. Then the waiter quickly clears the table & closes up
What Ron DeSantis is doing in the state of Florida, particularly when it comes to public education, should terrify us all. We have to make sure that man never becomes President.
This thread is hard to read. There is a chasm between what students need and what educators can provide. We’re all falling into the chasm.

Dear Online Libraries, HOW DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE OTHER BOOKS IN A SERIES BUT NOT BOOK 1!
The last 3 years have sucked the air out of teaching. It’s always been hard, but there is no room to dream, or breathe, or heal. I used to see my job as a space of limitless possibility and now it feels like my best, most creative and liberatory work is behind me. It sucks.
Typed up sub plans in the car on my phone bc my tire went out on the road. Is that an educator badge unlocked or something.
Banning books does not protect children. It punishes those who are “different”, silences the abused, and erases those who aren’t white. That’s what the current push is about: punishment, power, and control. #FReadom
Let kids read the books. No warning labels. No bans. Just let the kids read. #HaikuSaturday

Unregulated gun violence, rising White Supremacy and racism, book banning, and now stripping away women’s rights. How does one look at all this and think, “Yeah. This is how we make America better.”
If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Hearing Netflix canned its Wings of Fire adaptation is absolutely bonkers to me as some who works in a library—35% of books I see returned lately are Wings of Fire and Bad Guys. I cannot think of a legit reason to cancel outside Netflix's utter disrespect for its animation dept.
