WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

This is me as a new teacher (yes, we actually had chalk boards then!). Now, 25 years later, Penny Bishop and I have a book out TODAY called Real Talk for New Teachers: Tools for a Sustainable Career. We deeply hope it helps educators build a humane and sustainable career in teaching. #teachers #ED

As a parent with kids in school this is the stuff that keeps me up at night. That Trump is *hiding* and *reversing* any progress we've made to stop school shootings is truly unthinkable. They say it's not the guns, it's mental health, and then defund mental health programs.

Love bookstores? Love browsing new ones while traveling? Love having one near home? if so, you need to shop at them, or they won't be there to love. Indies offer way more value than just buying a book - expert curation, personal book recs, events, donations, a safe space, fun social media! #booksky

I know the world is on fire, but here is the cover for THE BOARD, about a single mom taking on a corrupt, narcissistic leader and school board under his thumb in a small New England town. Publishes 9/9 2025 w @blackstonepub.bsky.social. What do you think of the cover, #booksky?

The words THE BOARD are written in red over stairs leading up to a school building. A woman runs up the stairs toward the building. Leaves, birds, and trees are in the air above her.
