Appendix 1: Something Different [WGA/SAG-AFTRA Strike]

The Fic List

Summary: And now for something… a little different. As you may know, both the WGA (Writer’s Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actor’s Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) are currently on strike (August 2023), which is having a wide range of effects on film, TV, theater, and fandom. In this episode, we are pivoting from our usual content to talk about the strikes - why we care, why you should, too, and how we can all be in solidarity with the folks on the picket lines. Also, there are a LOT of tangents - Mothman squishables and Great White Sharks, anyone?
