Oh and the World Socialist Web Site very kindly left a flyer on my car telling me to reject the contract deal. Apparently, we need a new socialist strategy to succeed.
Did they also make a suggestion as to who you should vote for?
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Update! The Neg Comm and the BoD have unanimously recommended the deal. There will be a vote on Tuesday about the strike order and picketing is suspended, pending the outcome of that vote. Showrunners can go back to their producing duties tomorrow.
Kristen, truly pissed off in which direction?
The acoustics weren't that great but the one part I did make out is that he thought the negotiators "blinked." He also thought they sold us out.
The funny part was that he ranted and raved and then started to walk out. David Young began responding and he stormed back to the microphone to rant some more. The poor guy who had been waiting behind him for the mic, and had an actual question, was all, WTF?

It was a double-sided letter sized document written in 8 pt. font. Though there is a meeting I can go to. But I don't think I would make a very good Socialist.
ETA: I'm sort of apprehensive about believing this is over. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Oh and I forgot to mention this.
Tamara posted a link the other day to an article about how the striking writers for Days had been fired. At the meeting last night, they announced that, as part of the strike settlement, if you had a job and were replaced during the strike, you get to go back to your job when the strike is over. So those Days writers will not be losing their jobs.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Update! The Neg Comm and the BoD have unanimously recommended the deal.
Yippee!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay for good news.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if you had a job and were replaced during the strike, you get to go back to your job when the strike is over
Whoo! Cool stuff indeed.

Glad to hear it sounds like things are working out on the strike front.
