Hi. I’m the new senior features editor at @Cosmopolitan. I put out a call for pitches last week and got an incredible response. Thank you so much! Now, I want to drill down a bit and give some more context on what we’re looking for. 1) STORY!...

I was on that bridge today, and while I can only speak for my own experience, I saw: 1) Many Jews proudly marching, and centering their religion 2) The crowd of Muslims and Christians around them responding with love and appreciation every time they did so

Here's a thread outlining the geopolitical situation around the Israel-Gaza war its possibilities, impossibilities, and possible outcomes. Heads up, it's my longest thread yet. It's also raw, unedited, and unevenly paced. Sorry, none of us are well but at least we're trying

watching Palestinians whose Twitter accounts I have followed for years - both regular citizens and journalists - go from posts of desperation about the current hell in Gaza to silence and then the announcement of their deaths is a modern horror I don't really have the words for

We did it. We have a tentative deal.
Over the coming days, we'll discuss and vote on it, together, as a democratic union. But today, I want to thank every single WGA member, and every fellow worker who stood with us in solidarity. You made this possible. Thank you. #WGAStrong

Reinventing cable. Just like Uber reinvented taxis. All these “disruptors” or “innovators” do is undercut an existing industry until they force it into a chokehold. Then they rebuild the preexisting business model sans worker protections like residuals and employment contracts.

This bears repeating over and over and over. I’ve heard from 3 executive friends that the WGA had never countered to the AMPTPs offer. That the WGA negotiating committee is in over their heads. So you have to repeat this timeline as often as necessary so it eventually sinks in.
To clarify:
August 11: Initial counter offer from AMPTP
August 15: WGA offers counterproposal
August 22: AMPTP publicly releases unchanged offer from August 11, ignoring WGA's August 15 counterproposal entirely

Recently it’s felt like a challenging time in TV & a quiet summer in terms of opportunities.
🍁🍂But with autumn round the corner a few new roles and initiatives (hate the word ‘scheme’) are starting to pop up.
Here’s a couple… 🧵

🛑I wrote about what “fatigue” really means for people with long COVID and ME/CFS, and why this profoundly debilitating symptom is so often misunderstood and trivialized.

Now commissioning for issue 1 of our very own Backstory magazine. If you’re a writer or photog with a great idea for an essay or reported feature on books, an author or anything publishing world (even data-driven?), I’d love to hear a pitch. We’ll pay properly. Email in bio.

I had missed that Pat McCrory, who signed North Carolina's anti-bathroom bill years before the anti-trans agenda came to dominate the GOP, is now one of the headliners of No Labels -- of course. nytimes.com/2023/07/17/us/po…

Neither the WGA or SAG-AFTRA is calling for a consumer boycott right now. If you want to support the strike, we're asking folks to:
1) Boost our message on social media
2) Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports affected workers secure2.convio.net/afa/site/…
@adamconover genuine question: I'm having a hard time morally resolving whether I should skip seeing Barbie and Oppenheimer this week re: SAG/AFTRA solidarity. Thoughts?
