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. – at Eastchester, NY
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 $$.

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?

I think we’ll be seeing more of this. American workers, we need to rise up and change the game.

Right now I am in Long Island on a *school bus* filled with people going back to the city with their luggage up and down the aisles because the @LIRR @MTA were unable to consider the safety issues and hire coach buses with appropriate room. @GovKathyHochul – at New York, USA

“The woman who is willing to make that change must become pregnant with herself, at last. She must bear herself, her third self, her old age, with travail and alone. Not many will help her with that birth.”

I don't often publish because you know how it is, but I'm very proud to have this piece that I wrote in Istanbul published in @ParisLitUp X literary magazine. – at Eastchester, NY

My vacation is almost over and I feel renewed enough to share with you an older piece that I had sent out to The Boston Globe. It was a no for them.. but it's a big yes for me abt the 2 years my brother, sister and I cared for my mother before her death.

Starbucks could give every one of its 402,000 employees a $4700 bonus check and still keep $1,892,000,000 in net income this year. Instead they raised prices for no reason and are actively engaging in union busting. Get your coffee somewhere else.

J.M.W. Turner painted the sea and the sky more than anything else in his lifetime. He was always looking up, so much so that in his paintings it sometimes seems that our planet is but a platform from which to see the sky. 💙

While some tech giants neared or imposed widespread layoffs last year, compensation for their CEOs climbed as much as tens of millions of dollars, according to an @ABC News analysis of data released by research firm Equilar. trib.al/hMqTQ7J
