Ahead of Veterans Day, we're celebrating the hard work of veterans around the country. #JoinTheCadence and remix this reel to show your support for the veterans in your life.

Why do we celebrate #LaborDay? So glad you asked!

Highly recommend you pick up this book. The audible version has one of the best narrators in the game.

Ah!! Thanks for pointing this out, @Wolfmantula! The Rage of Dragons ebook is **70% off** in the US/Canada at most retailers. It's $2.99 today, and if you know a reader of fantasy who might enjoy it, please let them know.

Had the privilege of producing this video on Mental Health in the Workplace. Hope the main takeaway is that we are not doing enough and there is always more to do.

[U.S. Department of Labor @USDOL]

Workers deserve workplaces that respect their needs, including their mental health.

Check out our Mental Health at Work initiative, where we have resources to help workers and employers build work environments that respect mental health needs ⤵️

If I were starting over as a filmmaker, I would:

- Learn to shoot with an iPhone
- Make a short film every month for a year
- Submit all 12 short films to festivals
- See which film performed best
- Turn than short into a DIY feature

@KateHoit AITA? Does he even need to ask? Yes. You. Are. An. Asshole.

@ToadWetSprocket "Crowing" always resonated in ways that were hard to explain. Thank you for this little gift to the world.

[Ray Flores @bumpthekoala]

@broadcastmike Hell yeah.

[Ray Flores @bumpthekoala]

@Daywer Excellent. Snuggles are the best!

[Julian Lennon @JulianLennon]

The War on Ukraine is an unimaginable tragedy...

As a human, and as an artist, I felt compelled to respond in the most significant way I could. So today, for the first time ever, I publicly performed my Dad’s song, IMAGINE.

[Ray Flores @bumpthekoala]

@cleopatrickband Damn it. Couldn't bring myself to drive in the damn snow in this area. Sure you guys crushed. Next time.

@Ranger_Up Need more swagger from the backup dancers on the bunks. Piss or get off the pot ladies.

[Secretary Marty Walsh @SecMartyWalsh]

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us there is no space between civil rights and labor rights.

Today, we honor his memory and example by reflecting on the lessons he taught us and recommitting ourselves to building a better nation and world.

[Ray Flores @bumpthekoala]

@KateHoit @RepSwalwell A wonderful acknowledgment!

[Ray Flores @bumpthekoala]

@SouthwestCarps @JovanBuiltThat @LVRM We got it thank you!

[Secretary Marty Walsh @SecMartyWalsh]

When I first addressed my alcoholism, the labor movement was there for me.

I had access to an Employee Assistance Program.

I had a health plan that covered substance misuse treatment.

And I had my union to root for me and support me.

[Secretary Marty Walsh @SecMartyWalsh]

This #LaborDay, @USDOL is celebrating workers across the nation.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Joshua Nelson, a skilled trades apprentice, and talk about our experiences and what worker empowerment means to us.
