- I can’t remember which TV writer talked about this back in December on here: But whoever praised the “send later” feature for messaging on iPhones, you CHANGED the game for me. It’s like the best life hack ever.

- Reposted by Jackie PennI'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

- In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here. Sign our petition at the link in bio STAYinLA.org and share #STAYinLA widely. (And thank you to hireyoungprofessionals.com for designing our campaign!)
- Reposted by Jackie PennThe past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

- I just realized it’s been a minute since my last post. Between the fires here in Los Angeles, having a birthday last week during said fires, orange face’s 2.0 regime aka fascism in the US, and starting a part-time gig, it’s been a lot 😅😅. But I’m back. How are y’all holding up?
- Yesterday, I finished a first draft of a new TV Drama Pilot. Here’s to the next phase: revising/rewriting/tweaking

- Reminder that this is happening tonight! Hope to see some of you there!
- WGAW Holiday Party last night with some of my favorite people. It was a lot of fun 🤩. It was PACKED last night so I’m sure I missed a lot of people.

- I took a first stab at this last night and will be getting notes to see if it works. To be clear, I love breaking story in a room or helping someone else. But doing it alone, it’s a doozy 😅. This is a new genre/area for me so I’ve been extra in my head about it 🙃🙃.
- Great thread for TV and feature writers 👇🏾👇🏾.
- Reposted by Jackie PennAs I’ve been saying for over a year: If your business model doesn’t work without violating the law, you’re not in business — you’re in organized crime. Great reporting by @elainelow.bsky.social. theankler.com/p/tv-writers...
- The hubby and I finally watched the Anora screener and wow, what a ride that movie was!!!
- Saw it last night and I’m still thinking about it 🤩🤩🤩. If you’re able to go see it in person, please go!
- That was an earthquake just now, right??
- Great list of writers 👇🏾👇🏾.
