I like to define myself by my creative work but today I'm changing my pinned post because American work culture desperately needs to change.

[Alba Brunetti @AlbaBrunetti]

@humanworkplace America needs stringent labor laws NOW protecting workers & employees. No free work. No wasting people's time w/jobs that don't exist & or will be filled by the CEO's cousin. And an absolute clear cycle of communication from prospective employers - if you ghost, you're toast $$.

@n_hold great this company was, no one, not in the training, not the manager, not the assistant manager, not even any of my coworkers told me that I was entitled to a 15 minute paid break. And I never got one. I also lost 10 pounds in six months just from how hard I worked.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is threatening to unseat elected officials if they do not follow his orders to shut down the government during the holidays.

Are we still a democracy or have we already moved to oligarchy and authoritarianism?

@timbers12 @kenklippenstein I googled this, and I still can't believe that this was a headline in the Times!

[Alba Brunetti @AlbaBrunetti]

@Remzsx No. You've explained yourself very well and from everything you've said, you've made your decision. I don't think you should reconsider because you owe this man nothing. He's your sperm donor, not your father.
