Ive missed literally nothing while theyve been on strike. Like, zero impact on life at all.  But if this somehow means Dune gets moved back to November then Im all for it. If not then I will continue to hate everyone involved for pushing Dune back and wish they would stay away forever.

Who in the fuck asked if it affected you? The people who it mattered to the most are the folks who work and want to feed themselves while not being homeless, and folks who actually care about good storytelling. Raggedy ass piece of shit.

Watching writers make mad dashes to social media to gush about their shows/movies has been really cute to watch. They've been holding a lot in :LithiumSmileyLaugh:.

A lot of them are apparently heading to NYCC now that they have the green light to do so.

Dear SAG-AFTRA Members,

We are thrilled and proud to tell you that today your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee voted unanimously to approve a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. As of 12:01am on November 9, our strike is officially suspended and all picket locations are closed. We will be in touch in the coming days with information about celebration gatherings around the country.

In a contract valued at over one billion dollars, we have achieved a deal of extraordinary scope that includes "above-pattern" minimum compensation increases, unprecedented provisions for consent and compensation that will protect members from the threat of AI, and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus. Our Pension & Health caps have been substantially raised, which will bring much needed value to our plans. In addition, the deal includes numerous improvements for multiple categories including outsize compensation increases for background performers, and critical contract provisions protecting diverse communities.

We have arrived at a contract that will enable SAG-AFTRA members from every category to build sustainable careers. Many thousands of performers now and into the future will benefit from this work.

Full details of the agreement will not be provided until the tentative agreement is reviewed by the SAG-AFTRA National Board.

We also thank our union siblings -- the workers that power this industry -- for the sacrifices they have made while supporting our strike and that of the Writers Guild of America. We stand together in solidarity and will be there for you when you need us.

Thank you all for your dedication, your commitment and your solidarity throughout this strike. It is because of YOU that these improvements became possible.

In solidarity and gratitude,
Your TV/TH Negotiating Committee
