So much misinformation swirling about. AI is worrisome, sure, but this at least requires our consent and compensation. If this doesn’t pass, we go back to the 2020 deal, which had NO protections at all. AI is here, guys. So many of you all loved it when you willingly gave away your photos (for free) to see what you looked like in high school a few weeks ago. We can’t stop it. SAG doesn’t even have the power to do so. It’s above them. I’d rather have some protections than none. But don’t take my word for it. Read this, from one of our negotiators….
I’m voting yes. And I thank our negotiators for fighting hard for us. Thanks @drew_droege for sharing.

I’ll post this every year on Thanksgiving! #DuranicePace, may she rest in peace, just reaches in my soul and encapsulates exactly how I feel every year. I’m so grateful for the people and all the love in my life. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃❤️ (Thanks @steviemackey for posting it before me this year so I could just snatch yours!😜)
On this Christmas morning, I hope you’re all as happy as this kid was when Santa brought her a Preemie from the Cabbage Patch! Her name was Kimberly, and she was perfect! Her older sister Carrie was just strewn on the ground at my knees, overwhelmed with the joy of meeting her little sister! (We took this all so seriously. Much like we did that garland on the tree. These kids today will never know…) Thanks to my amazing mother, Mariana Thoms, who had the foresight to hold on to these gems, cuz I still have these babies with me to this day… Merry Christmas, y’all! #cabbagepatchkids #80schristmasjoy
I did this sweet little film during the pandemic with my dear friend @nellteare. And now, YOU can see it!!! I’m so proud of this woman. I love you, Nell! ❤️

And now….WE PARTY! Thanks to @a_manthedj_ for spinning on the 1s & 2s until I was afraid the floor might give out. Thanks @continental_catering_by_edwinb for the delicious tacos! Thanks everyone who came and brought the good vibes. Thanks everyone who didn’t/couldn’t come but still sent good vibes! And thanks of course to my spooky partners in crime @vududaddy and @damu_malik_photo for making magic with me yet again.
ANND….Thanks everyone for taking this spooky ride with me this year! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! And with that, and the story dump, Halloween is officially over this year. So sad. Time to pack it all away. Until next year…. Keep it SPOOKY!!! 🎃👻💀🧛🏼♂️🧟♀️ #Lolaween #Halloween2023
Make way for CHRISTMAS!! (Good thing I kept my tree up all year! 😉)🎄🎅🏽☃️🛷
Ok, this is a @vududaddy appreciation post. He thinks of this as a hobby. Something he’s passionate about, but just does for fun. (After all, he’s been acting since he was 7, and he’s damn good at it.) But he’s ALSO damn good at taking pictures. I love how he and @damu_malik_photo play off of each other, and can see the same subject through completely different eyes. And different cameras. It’s fascinating to me. But I guess that’s art, right? I just had to give him his flowers before I pack Halloween up completely until next year. Eugene Byrd, you ARE a photographer, and if you don’t get your gallery together, we’re gonna have some problems! 😂! I love you, baby. Keep it up! 😘
Just a bit of the spooky attractions at my house, (my house is named “Lola”) as captured by @damu_malik_photo… with music by @damumalikmusic! (My friend Damu is so talented it actually makes me sick! We’ve been friends since we were 14 and now he’s just too good at too many things. More on that later…) Don’t let my attractions scare you too much!
But seriously, Halloween is my favorite holiday because it’s anything goes! I love the creativity and exploration of it. I love the freedom of exploring our dark side because, let’s face it, there can be no light without darkness. And we all get to PLAY and be kids again! So step inside our dark playground! Here, the stage is set for #Lolaween! #Halloween2023 🧛🏼♂️👻🎃🧟♀️💀
This is a @damu_malik_photo appreciation post. These portraits of folks at our party are simply beautiful and masterful. Everyone brought their A Game, and Damu was there to capture it. Yes, he’s my childhood friend, but I don’t think I’m being biased here. His eye is singular, and his instincts are impeccable. Seriously. Book him. And follow him at @damu_malik_photo. And this is his music. He is the musician AND the singer. Buy it. Stream it. And follow him at @damumalikmusic.
I can only tag 20 people, so here’s the other folks! @nantasticyall @tiffany_smith @camfife @veronicanichols @vududaddy @comedianhollylogan @chaleyrose @hersonfermin @poetiiksoulja @antoniquesmith
#Lolaween #Halloween2023 More to come… 🧟♀️💀👻🧛🏼♀️🎃
For those who are wondering why SAG didn’t adopt the same language as the WGA that demands that an actor be a human being…. This is our National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator @duncanci…
Based on some of the AI questions that came up on my previous post, I hope this answers some of those concerns… This is a question @duncanci has addressed.
I’ve also seen a lot of pushback on these terms. “Reasonably specific” and “good-faith efforts” are being criticized for “having no teeth.” Here @duncanci explains what those terms mean in the context of a negotiated contract.
