I wrote a book! Very excited to announce that my first book, Sex Lives of Superheroes, will be coming out next year, published by the good people at Smart Pop Books!

It’s a series of comedic (yet scientific) essays that explore how super powers would affect the sex lives of the heroes that have them. And boy do things get weird. I can’t wait to share some strange science and big laughs with you all in 2024!

The. Deal. Is. So. Good.

Couldn’t get the link to the side-by-side of the WGA offer, the AMPTP counter offer from May, and the final deal, because it’s a document to download and too many pictures to take for this post that probably wouldn’t be legible, but it’s in this tweet (click the link below the tweet to go to said tweet):

Just look at these terms side-by-side with the original ask. Freaking amazing. A tremendous accomplishment, we bow before the awesome might of the WGA Negotiating Committee! https://t.co/4b2Ilw6FEP  — David H. Steinberg (@DavidHSteinberg) September 27, 2023ALT
The WGA negotiating committee members are unpaid. They are volunteers. They did that work out of a sense of duty and as an act of service.   And they saved the fucking town.   #UNIONSTRONG  — Krista Vernoff (@KristaVernoff) September 27, 2023ALT
boy math is losing billions of dollars just to end up almost tripling your offer pic.twitter.com/F6ebfkppVA  — Carol Lombardini (@ItsMeCarolAMPTP) September 27, 2023ALT
Of the 13 or 14 WGA contracts I’ve seen in the course of my career, this one, like, blows my mind. Outstanding work, everyone. I wish I could give each one of you a big poutine in gratitude.  — Rene Balcer (@ReneBalcer) September 27, 2023ALT
Even though this is a small percentage of the membership, we don't want to undersell this, The comedy variety NegComm members went to the fucking wall to get this. I am not exaggerating to say that handful of people saved this field of writing as a career. https://t.co/ndm4gK0xJN  — John Rogers (@jonrog1) September 27, 2023ALT
A lot of deserved love for NegComm right now, but let’s give it up for the captains and lot coordinators. Your relentless efforts to keep those picket lines full for all 148 days 100% rattled the shit out of the companies. You are resolve incarnate.  — John Rogers (@jonrog1) September 27, 2023ALT
These are essential protections that the companies told us, to our faces, that they would NEVER give us. But because of our solidarity, because they literally cannot make a dollar without us, they bent, then broke, and gave us what we deserve. WE WON.  — Adam Conover (@adamconover) September 27, 2023ALT
I just wanna say a special and hearty “you were wrong” to the man who yelled at me, to tears, at someone’s wedding, that minimum room size was impossible.   He was fucking wrong. And we were fucking right.  — Andra (on-druh) Whipple (@whipsical) September 27, 2023ALT
Reading through the WGA deal now…  Holy **fucking** shit.   We just… saved this profession?  — James Is ON STRIKE (@ScriptsByJames) September 27, 2023ALT
I'll see you all on the picket lines for SAG-AFTRA this week, right people? We're not done until we're ALL done.  — John Rogers (@jonrog1) September 27, 2023ALT

Don’t forget,the fight isn’t over for SAG-AFTRA and next year, contracts are up again for IATSE, including The Animation Guild.

If you’re a fan of movies, film, and animation, keep helping the guilds fight the good fight!

And of course, big thanks to strike hero Drew Carey for paying for probably THOUSANDS of meals for striking writers in LA these past five months.

Congratulations WGA and Pre-WGA for your amazing wins with this contract!

Every single time I hear someone referring to a Jewish person as ‘white’ another little piece of my soul dies.

As a non-American Jew, the first time I ever heard Jews being referred to as white was when I was a full grown adult watching an American reality show. I FOR REAL thought they were making that shit up in order to generate buzz and get people talking about the controversy! That’s how foreign the notion was to me. Imagine my shock and horror to discover that THIS IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN THE UNITED STATES.

It’s the way that referring to Jews as ‘white’ ERASES white people’s antisemitism, it erases our persecution at the hands of white people, it erases our suffering, it erases the OTHERING that Jews had suffered for CENTURIES from actual white people.

Based on what the skin tone of some Jews in a few places might afford them SO LONG AS NO ONE KNOWS THEY’RE JEWISH.

If you have to hide your real identity in order to enjoy the privileges of being perceived as white, YOU’RE NOT WHITE (this is true for Jews just like it is true for other white-passing People of Color).

White passing is not the same as white.

WHITE PASSING IS NOT THE SAME AS WHITE.

Jews are NOT white. Not a single one of us. Not even the ones who can pass as white, let alone all of the Jews who can’t.

as a half moroccan, half Iraqi jew, this posts means a lot to me

Oddly specific. Got a deposit for 6,837 today

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

I hope to god I get to see Donald Trump sentenced to five years in prison on RICO charges on live television.

I deserve it.

We the people deserve it.
