I think you’re doing exactly what the white boy in the story did by assuming you know more than the *woman more educated on the subject* (this subject being dealing with white bros at book signings on issues such as race, diversity, etc.)
Louis CK masturbated in front of women and won a Grammy.
Will Smith smacked another man and had to resign from the Oscars.
There is a VERY obvious double standard here
Ladies who have been pregnant: How did you find out you were pregnant?
I feel like every movie has the character vomiting in a sink, but I heard this is highly uncommon irl. If we wanted to write more authentic scenes, what would those be?

LA housing is like: do you want to spend $3k to rent a tin can in the center of town or a million dollars to buy a murder house on the outskirts of town?
@rachelmillman
I would also check with the regulations in your city cuz the rental board could definitely go after them. With small claims, you’ll have to serve them papers which means know where they live and pay someone $70 to tell them you’re taking them to court
I sold both my books! My memoir WHERE TO NEST (2024) and my self help book STOP DOING WHAT YOU HATE (2025). Now we celebrate and then I get to work writing my travel memoir on living in Paris, Luxembourg, Shanghai and visiting places like North Korea 😅

this just happened to me! She said the rate was for bleach and not for toner. I was like what’s toner? She said it’s the actual color, so when I paid for “highlights” the price didn’t include the color. Um, what😛
Let me fix that Bob Iger quote: “As someone worth $690 million I simply can’t understand why the poors care so much about having health insurance. It’s very disturbing to me.”
Disney CEO Bob Iger says the writers and actors going on strike in Hollywood are not being “realistic” with their expectations: "It's very disturbing to me."
Can we share terrible Hollywood stories?
I’ll go first: My first ever manager suggested an acting class (spoiler:her husband’s class).I roll up and it’s only kids? I watch two 13 year olds perform a Harry Met Sally scene. The teacher screams: “It sucks cuz no one seems f*ckable!”
Parking signs in LA are like: You have 3 chances to solve a riddle that can only be read by those with 10/20 vision + solved by a mathematician in between the hours of 3am and 6am.If unsolved, you have a long journey to pay an exorbitant fee or be haunted by fines until you die

Dear person I’ve emailed but definitely know nothing about:
If you’re a women, just no. Please take the burden that is me, make it your burden, and then pass that burden off to a man.

A note for all the men out there:
-If I don’t know you, it’s super creepy to send me a DM about how I look sexy
-If I do know you, it’s still pretty creepy to send me a DM about how sexy I look
Screenwriters:
Want to write something truly memorable? Have your audience fall in love with your protagonist, follow them on their journey, laugh with them, cry with them, and then discover they're a cake
Divorce is okay. Breaking up is okay. Starting over is okay. Moving on is okay. Saying no is okay. Being alone is okay. What is not okay is pouring your milk into your bowl before your cereal. You’re a monster and that’s why everyone leaves you
Netflix has a show marriage or mortgage where couples have $35k and have to choose between a wedding or a house. This is the most American thing of all time
Someone on Facebook wrote “pop the bubbly I’m getting a hubby” And it filled me with a completely unnecessary level of disgust and rage. Just call him a hubbly! Go for the full rhyme!
Very excited to announce I’ve been accepted into the .

for the first time in person! As I reflect on life after lockdown, some of my closest friends are now people that I met on the internet. I am so grateful for all these amazing friends!
When I was a lead on a TV show, the producer decided to not pay *any* of the actors. Luckily, SAG-AFTRA had our back & took legal action. This is why unions are so important & I proudly stand by the WGA. As an author today, I get residuals & so should screenwriters!

Divorce is okay. Breaking up is okay. Starting over is okay. Moving on is okay. Saying no is okay. Being alone is okay. What is not okay is marinating your chicken in NyQuil. You high af and nobody wants to eat that

I always thought people in zombie movies were so dumb, but I risk my life going outside for a bag of Cheez-It’s from the bodega, so can I really look down on anyone?
It’s 2030, you’ve met the love of your life, got engaged, the wedding is tomorrow. You’re finally moving in together and while cleaning out their closet you find this. What do you do?
Unpopular opinion: the best thing young people can do early in their careers is sneak into the National Archives to steal the Declaration of Independence
One of my goals for 2019 was to get my women screenwriters Facebook group where we support each other/share tips to 2k members. I'm at 1.6k and we have a few days left. Any chance you could retweet this + tag the most badass women screenwriters you know?
