Look ma'! I updated my acting reel! I also updated my Tinder profile, and put up my "For a good time, call me" posters in the men's locker room at L.A. Fitness. I'm a real multi-tasker.

WGA suspended all picketing. But they didn't suspend showing up today in solidarity to support us SAG-AFTRA actors. And they SHOWED UP. I will never be able to properly put into words just how much it meant. And thankfully, I don't have to. I'll say THEIR words. CONGRATS WGA!!!
One For All, And All For One!
Special

At this crucial moment in SAG-AFTRA negotiations, hereโs some WGA history that SAG members should know.
In our 2007-08 strike, our leadership wanted to hold out a little bit longer to get the best deal. But 30 wealthy WGA members thought they knew better.๐งต
Hey everyone!
It's Elyssa!
Your friendly Disney Strike Captain here!
If you haven't RSVP'd to this Monday's

Please educate yourself before making any assumptions.
#sagstrong
This. Is. Solidarity.
Today is Day 103 of the
@sagaftra
strike. Today our Negotiating Committee heads back to the table with the AMPTP to fight for a fair contract. And while they get to work in there, WE need to get to work out here!
Cont'd below....
I'm an actor & comedy writer w/ $12 in my bank acct.
And I just spent it on
@RBGmovie
.
THIS IS THE MOST IMP'T FILM OF THE YEAR.
If I had another $12, I would see it again.
But for now - I go back to work.

It's officially Thursday. A day I will hold all calls. A day I will cancel all my sketch comedy performances. A day I will not write any stand-up jokes. Because today is the day where we celebrate

We need people now, more than ever, to come out to our picket lines, to show the AMPTP that we are strong in our resolve, and that we are going to continue to FIGHT until we get a FAIR CONTRACT.
Please come out to one of the many picket locations if you can.

Thank you to everyone who came out for Captain Appreciation Day! And even if you didn't come out... We see your online solidarity! Thank you for that too! ๐๐ช๐๐ช๐

Our presence on the picket lines is just as vital to this fight as their presence at the table. Whether you can do 3 min or 3 hrs, whether you are an actor, a gaffer, or you just like watching TV, come out to a picket. We got your back Negotiating Committee! As long as it takes!

i left her office and ended up booking The Mindy Project that day. so uh. yeah.
This is a photo of informed and educated solidarity. Okay, the other photo is what happens after you spend who knows how many hours on aforementioned informed and educated solidarity.

Over the course of the weekend, we have discussed all open proposals, including AI, with the AMPTP.
Both parties will be working independently Monday and re-engage on scheduling at the end of the day.
Join us and flood picket lines in the morning. (1/2)
We raised more money for the theater tonight.
I ate well, I exercised, and I was able to help others.
But guys, Guys, GUYS.....i finally finished the outline to my one-woman Gilda Radner show. โค
And tomorrow is another day....
Happy holidays! Recently celebrated w/ some Disney picket family, and I'm so grateful to call these talented people my friends. A toast to friendships that could never be tested by a game of White Elephant! (Pics taken moments before a game of White Elephant๐)

SWIPE BABY SWIPE TO SEE ME ONLINE! Really excited & honored to be interviewed for

There are "special event pickets" on the picket locations website as well -- so check them out! And if you CAN'T come -- please share with others.
ONE DAY LONGER, ONE DAY STRONGER.

friends,
You don't have to vote until 12/5. Plz take this time to educate yourself by sending your questions to tvtheatrical2023
@sagaftra
.org and not by reading other people's opinions who may not be properly educated. Vote with YOUR heart - not someone else's. ๐
This is a movement.
Not a moment.
Have you checked out this insane lineup of comedians coming together to raise money for the National Network of Abortion Funds?!

Whatever the outcome, I'm happy to see so many people become more informed & active in their union.
Always here to listen it all - the fors and the againsts. As long as everyone treats each other w/ respect & remembers WHY we're doing this - I AM ALL IN.
Now about that fiancรฉ..
Hold the line. Hold each other. Hold for solidarity. And when you're really lucky... You get to hold your Negotiating Committee.
AS LONG AS IT TAKES.

Maybe she's born with it.
Maybe it's:
Hard work
Determination
Challenging her limits
Getting knocked down
Getting back up
Investing in herself
Never giving up
....Or maybe it's the 1/2 jar of pb she ate, but let's go w/ that other stuff.

Remember - the AMPTP WANTS us to fight internally.
We have to stick together now more than ever.
When we fight (together), we WIN.

I am honored, grateful, anxious, and excited AF to be among some of the most talented entertainers in Hollywood whoโll be coming together on Saturday night to help raise money to save The Pack Theater.....
The best lesson I learned thru my career and life is to let things pass thru you because if you donโt you get stuck and you get sick.
