Animation writers should be able to make a living wage, but the status quo is unsustainable. #FreelanceNotFreeWork #SamePagesSameWages #StandWithAnimation

Animation workers are barely scraping by while greedy CEOs make billions off their work! It’s time we stand shoulder to shoulder and DEMAND a fair deal for the human beings who create the worlds & characters we love. I’ll be at the #StandWithAnimationRally tomorrow! Will you? ✏️ ✊🔥

ALL are welcome and an RSPV is no longer necessary. We are tracking for a HISTORIC turnout but let's keep the momentum going and really deliver a strong show of force!! You do NOT need to be a TAG member to attend - students, fans, parents, anyone can come.

Animation union strong! #NewDeal4Animation
Today, I met with grassroots worker organizers to thank them for their leadership in organizing unions. From the Amazon Labor Union to IATSE at Titmouse Productions, these folks are inspiring a movement of workers across the country to fight for the pay and benefits they deserve.

I'm speaking up for a #NewDeal4Animation because I'm done letting studios get lucky profiting off discounted labor and unfair conditions. We're fed up and fired up. I stand in solidarity with #PayAnimationWriters #StoryCraftUnite #EqualPay4EqualPaint #ProductionStrong #WeAre839

Bill's thread here has a lot of great speeches but also the complete version of @MairghreadScott's straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Replying to @flying_lobster
This is what leadership looks like. @MairghreadScott calls on all TAG members to step up and demand a #NewDeal4Animation at the #Rally4Animation. If you watch only one thing I post today watch this!!! PART ONE of her speech (it’s so good cardboard signs kept getting in my way).

Hey, Animation Twitter — I’m available for your writing needs! I’ve worked on Trollhunters, 3Below, and was staffed on Wizards. If you need a funny, pun loving writer who is all in on animated storytelling: say hi! DM for samples and only the finest cat gifs.

Blasting this to the timeline again because I updated my game to have three fewer typos. Wow! If you haven't yet, you should check it out and marvel at all the correct spellings, magical and otherwise.
