Facebook reportedly fired the team responsible for curating its Trending Topics news section on Friday — now someone who worked on the team has described what it was like to work there.

In a series of tweets on Monday, a former Facebook contractor named Saira Khan shared the 14 "best and most absurd" things she saw while working on the social network's news team.

Khan says on her LinkedIn profile that she worked on Facebook's news team from August 2014 to March 2016, and we've reached out to Facebook for comment on her tweets.

Here are Khan's tweets about working on Facebook's news team:
