You know you live in LA, when youโre shooting an exterior during rush hour and cars driving by are yelling real set terms to try and fuck with your shot. I heard drivers yell โrolling!โ And โback to one!โ And โsound speed!โ And I legit had to laugh ๐๐
Hi my name is Amy, and in the last 24hrs, Iโve used the pandemic โnot being overโ and the pandemic โalmost being overโ as a reason to, respectively, avoid people and see people - who is on this journey with me, please and thank u
Someone PLEASE tell the woman who buys my groceries to stop buying chips????!?
(That woman is me, please tell me, dear lord, for I am full of chips ๐ญ)
Can we have a quick convo about writing and fear? I've met soooo many new writers who KNOW they want to write and yet are so TERRIFIED to fail they never finish anything. What's going on? How is everyone so certain yet scared? And if you've felt this, how did you climb past it?

This is something Iโm baffled more showrunners donโt get. Black writers had to navigate white worlds, white shows and white programming to even get IN. Weโre 2 writers in 1. We can write you AND us - as well as empathy for others. Hire us, listen to us, promote us. Live longer
Black writers can write anything. Let me repeat: ANYTHING. The idea that Black writers should only write Black stories is prevalent in Hollywood & problematic. Iโve had prominent white writers say they didnโt think Black writers could write period shows. *cough* Check my bio. 1/
Ladies and gents, my mom works at a hospital and is here to unload some DRAMA. First of all, one nurse is cheating on his wife with another nurse, and his sidepiece just got transferred. SECONDLY, another nurse bakes too many nuts into her banana bread.
Prince William being named sexiest bald man in the world raises some questions for me. Like which world? Where did the other men go? Why are they not there? Is it even safe to be there? Could u define โworldโ? Did you mean โcastleโ? Define โsexyโ and โ-iestโ? Use both in a senteโ
The deepest fire in my soul is to create multiple TV series, yes, bc I love my job but also? Literally so that I can devote an entire episode IN EACH SERIES to how TRULY terrible spectrum internet is, honestly, truthfully, this is my dream, this is my one driving force
No one more deserving, no one more capable. Thank you,
@IssaRae
for always telling our stories and making SO many new voices feel seen. KEEP KILLIN IT, QUEEN!! โค๏ธ๐ฅณ And now I am emotional this morning!! Bye! ๐๐พโโ๏ธ

This. โค๏ธโค๏ธ Iโm so blessed to work on a show that shows blackness and its complexity. Thank you, Beandrea, for writing this! // If You Donโt Watch Black Stories, You Donโt Support Black Lives | Vanity Fair
We really wanted the Issa/Nathan storyline in this episode to have a new romance, โbefore sunsetโ vibe to it. Is it working?

Sometimes I want to add to my email signature, โPlease excuse the terse reply, shit is wild right now, I donโt have time for this.โ But maybe itโs โtoo honestโ ๐
Every time I see the words โwritten by.โ Every time I get a green envelope in the mail. Every time I watch a hit show on streaming. Every single damn time I go to therapy and itโs covered. I thank god for my union. THANK YOU WGA AND WGA BOARD FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO
Final shots of this episode - I loved seeing Lawrence in his super clean kitchen, mind made up about what heโs about to do. And Issa in her kitchen, surrounded by mess, mess, MESS ๐ฅด๐

Yesterday, I ate cold, stale pizza straight out the box while stuck in traffic, and that is just evidence of how you can be happy and sad at the same time ๐
Well, well, well. Sometimes it feels small and insignificant to write vagina jokes for cable, but honestly - TV helps shape the culture. I want this: more shows that reflect me. More shows about the America worth believing in, please.
The more often people watched shows featuring immigrant characters, the report found, the more they agreed that the U.S. should welcome more immigrants.
They were more opposed to charging immigrant parents as criminals.
A white woman in a store just yelled at me to help her find something. I said โI donโt work here. Iโm shopping.โ CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WHILE BLACK IS SO VERY FUN! ๐๐โจ๐

โฉ , for highlighting what Iโve been working on quietly for so long! My legacy is building bridges to future storytellers. This is just the beginning โจโจ
The outfit Issa stole is the same outfit Molly was wearing when Andrew asked her out on a date for the first time. Just a random detail. No symbolism, but I can find some if you give me a sec lol

I remember before we even started preproduction,
@shionat
came to me with an amazing ideaโฆ Since itโs all our girls together, what if we celebrate and feature all Black female designers for every single look this episode? When I tell you I RAN WITH THAT????

I agree with this. Them passing the shame to you is their weapon. Itโs not your fault. It just isnโt. You can fix this person. They failed YOU.
