But they're not writing!
Unless you mean, like, physically crossing the line to get into the studio. Which, okay.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)
The writers are our brothers and sisters, man. We have to support them, I think. We're writers.ETA: Camera guys are Teamsters, right? Teamsters are striking too. And, okay, so some of them are the snotty brothers and sisters that Get Everything, but, you know...if we don't watch the reruns and crap we can get them back to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've only ever walked through an informational picket, but that was plenty uncomfortable!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Curious. Steve didn't turn up for The Office according to James Gunn's blog, so without their lead I think B.J. is pretty clear to not show.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I once got permission from a strike supervisor to enter a supermarket, because I'd already been to three places and it was the only place around that had what I needed. The woman was very nice about it, actually, and was pleased that I asked.

Mine was colleagues who clearly had no problem with my going to work, but it just felt off.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I wondered how it worked when writers had other roles. I guess they have to ditch everything? That doesn't seem right! They're not writing! Just act! Say the words you already wrote!
Tina Fey (writer and actor) is picketing. So, they really can't move forward, cause in order to write her character out of an episode, they'd need . . . a writer.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
"It's a fascinating position these showrunners are put into," another studio exec said. "From a pure economics standpoint, if they can provide extra scripts, that's extra fees for a lot of people who need the money. On the other hand, the more episodes we have, supposedly the less pressure there will be on us. But I would think if I were a writer, I'd get as many scripts into shooting position as possible."
I'm sure you would, Mr. Studio Exec. You know, if you were a writer @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
