I don't think I have ever laugh-cried as hard as I just did during this Beavis and Butthead bit on SNL. And watching a clearly surprised Heidi Gardner break? DYING 🤣

So Lorne Michaels has transphobe Dave Chappelle on stage last week, homophobe Nikki Haley on tonight, & next week Shane Gillis-who got fired from SNL for MAKING RACIST ASIAN JOKES-as host.
This is not f'ing ok
Hey writers, can we stop w this "I outlined 2 new pilots & finished 3 more & did a feature rewrite & submitted to 100 contests & cured cancer WHAT DID U DO TODAY TO FURTHER UR CAREER?!" nonsense?
I napped. Talked to a friend. Ate cookies. Took care of myself.

Men: For winter dry skin, I really like a good Aveeno lotion with oatmeal, and a decent lip balm to keep my lips from now that the evil old conservative fucks, trolls, and homophobes have stopped reading let's have the ladies' backs at midnight
I'm also REALLY fucking angry Lorne Michaels let Nikki Haley utter those sacred words LIVE FROM NEW YORK-IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!
Does he get how many of us have dreamed our ENTIRE LIVES of getting to say that?? And he lets a bigot POS right wing extremist politician do it?
FUCK
Writers, how do I get over my anxiety over joining the picket line? I come across as an extrovert but like all I want to do is barricade myself indoors for all of my remaining time on earth 😬😭

I don't think you understand words. You know, like "bursts" and "enranged" and "tantrum." None of which can be used to describe anything in this clip.
Holy crap, my TV pilot won! And out of 2135 total submissions 😲
Not only that, but they're flying me to Atlanta next week and putting me up!

Republicans telling us to be mindful of their feelings & that we need to work with them is feeling very much like that guy who beats his wife then blames her & expects her to accept her role in her own abuse, while absolving him of his.

One of my students has COVID-19 as we speak. He has a mother w an autoimmune disease & a grandma at home & the only thing they can do is make him stay in his room as he suffers.
He's 10.

Since he's trending for some reason, a reminder that Michael Jackson was a pedophile.
He slept w young boys. In his bed. We all knew it. We did nothing.
We LET him molest those boys.
And bc he made great music, millions of ppl around the world just pretend it never happened.
@AlishaGrauso
Except none of us will be talking about him being a white supremacist. Or his taxes. Or him being corrupt. Or his sinking polls. And if we do, they'll destroy us for it, calling us callous and totally lacking in sympathy.
It's well within his game theory.
We made over 151,000 calls to senior citizens in Texas tonight. One of our vols talked to a man stranded at home w/out power in Killeen, hadn’t eaten in 2 days, got him a ride to a warming center and a hot meal. Help us reach more people, join us tomorrow:

I am so exhausted. So fearful. So full of anxiety most days I can't imagine it'll ever be ok again. Or I'll be ok.

Even with all the atrocities this man has committed, this is legitimately one of the most upsetting things I've ever seen him tweet.
Who manipulates images of children and calls a baby racist?
WHO DOES THIS??
@CNNTonight
@donlemon
I've been agonizing over how to explain why this has upset me and many of my friends so deeply, this while reading so many comments online defending him, his remarks, his non-apologies, and, now, his new status as victim.
Thank you for putting this so eloquently, Don.

LA just pushed back the vaccination of teachers from February to March.
I worry terribly about my students' mental health, but my god, we need to protect our teachers too.
I think it's about time for every liberal who couldn't get enough of criticizing then Mayor Pete for being completely unqualified and apparently unable to lead to say, "Well shit, turns out I was wrong." He's a master class in teaching Dems on how to take on the idiots.

Ah I see you did that thing where you did absolutely no other research on the topic & just posted this screenshot to support your agenda whereas in reality the vast majority of writers in Hollywood can't even afford a 1 bedroom apartment w/o a 2nd or even 3rd job.
How convenient

The most important thing I've learned from this tweet is you're a deeply dishonest human, if not an obvious islamophobe. You do those who died on 9/11 a great disservice by misleading folks into believing this Congresswoman meant something she clearly didn't.
Also, you're a dick
@OKBJGM
This hurt on so many levels. Yet so many years later, we *still* hear stories of writers - esp women, POC, & queer writers - whose only recourse is crying in the bathroom, "just taking it", being forced to quit, or getting fired.
I'm so sorry, Javier. Thank you for speaking up.
Sitting at a Starbucks in Brentwood listening to four dudes in their 20s talk about how feminism is killing America and relationships. How women are supposed to assume certain roles and essentially know their place/be subservient to men.
IN THEIR 20s.

So maybe include greedy corporations and landlords as part of the problem? If prices are skyrocketing but inflation is at a much lower 3.36% and trending downward, maybe we go after some of the real villains here?

@Variety
That the best they could say about Bones and All was it's a fashion show (wtf is that asinine comment?) & completely missed the point - it's an allegory for queerness/otherness, secrets & isolation, & the intoxication of finding community - says more about Variety than anything.

There's a huge difference between admirer & ally
You can admire the countless LGBTQ+ ppl who've supported you since day 1 & cont'd to do so even in darker days
But you can't be an ally when your "truth" causes the trans community harm, which is what your words absolutely will do
@johnzaozirny
As an actor, I can firmly attest that most of us LOVE this stuff. It absolutely helps.
As a writer, I can confirm it's mostly other writers who say "you can't do that" - & usually to me lol, bc I do it whenever I feel it'll inform the reader or make for a great read (or both.)

Funny how Republicans' support of police officers only extends to those who kill Black Americans and not to those who are beaten heroically trying to protect the Capitol from an insurrection.
Which lives matter again?

Hit job? I saw some thoughtful reporting on a mixed student response - some w valid concerns & criticisms of him to which he largely responded smugly or dismissively. All of which he deserved considering he continues to Target a vulnerable community.
But sure, bro, celebrity.

For real though. It's crazy how quickly I went from only occasionally watching HBO programming to now pretty much daily, and several of my favorite shows to boot. And it became my top goal as a writer too.

This is absolutely false and a blatant attempt to attack the LGBTQ+ community and link it to pedophilia, which is absolutely deplorable.
Google the origins of the word - it was coined in 1994. (Except you probably know that and you don't care bc it doesn't fit your agenda.)

bc he's one of the best presidents we've ever had.
He's NOT the "lesser of two devils"

Respectfully, who is the official representative of the LGBTQ comm who would do this? While I agree bigotry is wrong no matter who it comes from, in the case of Kevin Hart, this is an individual, not an entire group. It would've been so easy for him to make amends & he botched it

I've hosted a million events - there's NO way this wasn't planned. She's been doing this long enough to know EXACTLY what's going on with her hands.
And if Mary Hart is hosting a Trump rally to boot, you can be damn sure she's a white supremacist.
