A new article I wrote for @WnotW Magazine about how and why I started Talking Not Talking, a support group for creatives. It's very personal and important to me. We really are not as fucked up and special as we think we are. #letgo #WorldMentalHealthDay magazine.workingnotworking.com/magazine/talki…

Ok, Adam Silver, I've got your solution. The Lottery Cup: a 6 or 8-team postseason tourney to determine draft order. Tank and get a lower seed/tougher road to the #1 pick. Everyone is playing for something at season end. @NBA @NBAonTNT @ESPNNBA @wojespn espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

@turnislefthome @KristianDuffy @LanaSketch Tim, I've been a fan of yours for years. Your work and your Twitter rage. Consider it a badge of honor to finally have it directed at me. Did this because we wholeheartedly know this is the best move to get many people more work.

Oh, ugh

@BEENATHEMISTRY @TheWebbyAwards @fiverr @caitcadieux @jeremyaleung I didn’t take it down when we started talking to Fiverr or before this announcement because I own what I say & allow myself to change my opinion when presented with new information. They're not the company I thought they were + I wanted to win a Webby.

@justingignac @TheWebbyAwards @fiverr I'm quoting this when I explain why I deleted my WNW account

We're also a finalist in @TheWebbyAwards for Employment website. We're currently in 2nd trailing @fiverr and need your votes. Letting Fiverr win is letting the world know you're ok with creatives getting paid 5 bucks for what you do. Fuck that shit. vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/…

@KristianDuffy @turnislefthome @LanaSketch We fully announced why in an email to 90,000 people this morning. Was on a Clubhouse for an hour today answering everyone's questions about it. I'd rather have a conversation than go back and forth on here which loses all humanity. Down to answer anything in a convo.

@turnislefthome @justingignac @LanaSketch Ha this is like Friends of the Earth selling out to a fracking company- weirdest move Ive ever seen. Funnier still is trying to arrange private calls rather than announcing why 🤷‍♀️ he doesn’t have to say tho- it’s all about the hustle even if it contradicts everything he ever said

@mikeykannemeyer @PolygonSandwich @TheWebbyAwards @fiverr Yeah, I didn’t take it down when we started talking to Fiverr or before this announcement because I own what I say and allow myself to change my opinion when presented with new information. They're not the company I thought they were. And I really wanted to win a Webby.

@dfsaracino If anyone wants tips on getting work I can help out on that.

For real tho, did anyone actually get any work from connections they made on WNW?

@NicolasMenard Happy to chat with you about it. Just reply to the email and we'll set up a time.

Eek! Time to delete that Working Not Working account

@eyedesyn That's definitely not happening. We'll always advocate and push for people to get paid what they deserve. Happy to chat about it. Just reply to the email and we can set up a time.

Working not Working will now become Starvation not Wages

Anyone else miss going to concerts? What concert would you tolerate right now if it was the only concert you could go to? Feel free to include opening acts and guest appearances. #desperationcovidconcert

Airbnb is going public so @public dropped a cereal. This is me trying to win one of 500 limited edition boxes. public.com/ipoats

@KPOgunbase @Superhuman Nailed it!

@justingignac @Superhuman How you feel? How you feel? How you feel? 25 sitting on 0 email? #HitZero

I know this might not seem like a reason to celebrate and to be on a massive high dancing around my home office, but hitting inbox zero is an accomplishment I never thought was possible. Happened just 3 days after I signed up for @Superhuman. Lmk if you want an invite. #HitZero

@RealMeMP @ariellec Oz Moving has been great for my last two moves. Both local but totally pro.

Anyone have good last minute movers in Bushwick/Ridgewood area to recommend for an intra-city move? Like a mudanzas kind of vibe — dm please

New from @wnotw, an on-demand repping + collaboration service. We’re here to help you manage those larger projects so you can focus on the work, not the negotiations + admin. Have a rep only when you need one, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time rep. wnotw.co/reps

My favorite tweet in Twitter history. I mailed him the letter 20 years ago!

There’s no point of having a platform if you’re not gonna use it to do the right thing. If me tearfully and sincerely asking people to take 2 minutes to make a call made you uncomfortable, you’re the problem.

Hey white friends not already enraged by all of this. Think about one of your black friends. Think of their name. Now think of their name with a hashtag in front of it. Seriously. I’m sure they have. So fight now for justice for them. Before it becomes a reality.

Dear every major publication, Just a heads up...you have exactly one month left to put me on your 40 Under 40 lists. I appreciate your consideration. Sincerely & rapidly aging, Justin CC: @adage @FortuneMagazine @creativitymag @Inc @FastCompany @businessinsider @printmag @TIME
