Top 10 Twitter WGA members to follow for strike info!

While we will be sharing info on Tumblr, WGA members on Twitter is where a lot of our info comes from! This list is not exhaustive; feel free to suggest more in comments.

WGAWest and WGAEast are, of course, the gold standard. The real ones. The OG. (We're counting them as 1 for the sake of the list.)

WGA East vice president Lisa Takeuchi Cullen—you may know her as a writer on Law & Order: SVU.

Leverage & Librarians showrunner John Rogers is a true gem and a veritable fountain of good knowledge about the strike.

"Adam Ruins Everything" aka Adam Conover is a member of the WGA Negotiating Committee so he is quite literally on the front lines. He's very good at communicating what the WGA is striking for and why.

Sister writing team Shawna Benson & Julie Benson also have a Twitch to live-stream from the picket lines. Super informative and you can ask questions live! (You may know them from Star Trek: Prodigy and the 100.)

Caroline Renard is a WGA Strike Captain, which means she's out there organizing the picket lines almost every day. Excellent, informed tweets.

Kyra Jones is my favorite person right now—smart, funny, takes no bullshit. She worked on the shows Queens and Woke.

Another WGA Strike Captain to follow is Jonterri Gadson, who worked on Everybody Still Hates Chris and The Upshaws.

WGA Negotiating Committee Co-Chair David A. Goodman wrote for The Orville, Family Guy, and Star Trek: Enterprise.

And also part of the negotiating committee, Eric Haywood wrote for Manifest and Law & Order: Organized Crime.

Welcome to fans4wga, a central hub run by fans who work in the entertainment industry and want to promote inter-fandom solidarity with the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.

We're here to support the writers with both financial and moral support, combat misinformation, and disseminate helpful information for how you and your fandom can get involved!

why support the WGA? -> The people who make the entertainment you love are being systematically underpaid, understaffed, and undervalued by gigantic corporations with CEOs who make millions every year. Writers are striking for fair pay, better work conditions, and an end to exploitative labor practices like mini-rooms. They deserve a fair contract, but the studios have refused fair negotiation at every turn.

how can fans get involved? -> follow this account for more info soon, such as a dedicated Discord server in the works!

are you, dear reader, an enthusiastic fan who wants to do more to support the strike and has experience as a Discord server mod? -> reach out to join the modding team! As we're still in the early phases, we could use some extra hands.

want to support the strike? -> donate to the Entertainment Community Fund or join a fandom group that's organizing on Twitter: Our Flag Means Death, Star Trek, and Manifest fandoms are already active in organizing food and drink donations to the picket lines. Join a picket line if you can. Support the strike on social media with the hashtags #IStandWithTheWGA #DoTheWriteThing #Fans4WGA

who are you exactly? -> this hub is run by Ani (@wovesaxe) and Algie (@equalseleventhirds) on behalf of the #fans4wga movement, supported by WGA members Jo Miller and Rob Kutner.

should I stop watching TV shows to support the strike? -> there is currently no official call for a boycott! Some people are canceling their services in support of the WGA. However, this is not an official ask. In other words: No need to change your watching activity, but please vocally support the WGA on social media and in real life!

have any others questions? ask box is open!

[please note anon is currently off to limit spam and hate mail. apparently some people side with corporate CEOs over workers. couldn't be us!]

boosting this!

coming off hiatus for one (1) second to say that Jason Isaacs has never done anything wrong in his life because I love him but this was a really shitty thing to say!! Asian people deserve better representation. Claudia Kim deserves a better role. JK Rowling should apologize for a bad creative choice--and Jason was wrong to defend her.

[captaingabelorca]

Btw what was the best fortune cookie quote you've ever had? (a question from some ensign )

this one.

[larkistin]

I finally finished my Michael Burnham drawing and so my Star Trek Discovery gallery keeps growing and growing. 😃 Next will be Hugh Culber in the „unfinished“ colored style. I was also asked to draw some other Jason Isaacs characters, which I do GLADLY, since I‘m a huge fan of him anyway! 👍 Stay tuned for more, guys. Hope you‘re having a great day! ❤️

[captaingabelorca]

Have you considered sunglasses?

considered? yes. replicated some? also yes. but used them around my crewmembers, therefore encouraging them to make fun of me? i’m no fool

[captaingabelorca]

How do you stay in such good shape? What's your secret?

running away from my psychological problems

[bpdbuttercup]

yes I am fully aware that I’m The Worst™ but I still wanna be like……. loved and stuff

On a scale of Georgiou to Lorca, how much respect do you have for the Federation’s core values and principles?

lmao I am not anti-Lorca folks

[fuckyeahsylviatilly]

@awrnikleintime I wrote this post about Lorca being a complicated bastard & talked about how Jason Isaacs tends to play villains, and I think some ppl mistook me for an Anti. Lol. It’s not really a big deal. But, for the record: I Love Lorca! (Complicated mess that he is & all.)

[lorcas-tribble]

I’m surprised I haven’t gotten that yet. I have had people assume I am a stan though.

[captaintilly]

Hey… @lorcas-tribble … why waste your time being anti-Lorca when you could just be… idk… pro-Tilly??

[abnerkrill]

pro-tilly is the most legitimate side to be on tbh

[captaintilly]

Even @captaingabelorca is pro-Tilly… I think??

[captaingabelorca]

[shifty eyes] I hate her less than I hate Stamets. And some other people.
