“Former” being the key word here 🙄

@pejuem.bsky.social

Former photographer? Former doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Why don’t you say clearly, as “journalists”, that he was fired along with most of his colleagues because Bezos has destroyed the newspaper.

@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

Why are you bragging about an award won by a photographer you laid off?

@rob0421.bsky.social
