I went to this museum a month ago and loved it.
I absolutely have no qualms saying I wept when I saw #Kermit today in the Museum of the Moving image.

The #JimHenson exhibition is there for the lovers, the dreamers, and you.

Since I work in the same industry, this hits close to home. What horrible news.

Communications professionals are business advisors, not communications waitresses there to take your order.

In journalism, you have your voice, your style. In #commsjobs, you’re adopting the company’s voice.
If you decide to pivot from #journalism to #commsjobs, you’ll need to adapt to this and balance creativity with the brand’s direction.
Sometimes it can be frustrating, but that’s part of the game.

For that matter find out where comms as a whole is seated in the company. It could speak to how much the company values comms (or doesn’t) and the culture of the organization generally.
Not all #commsjobs are created equal.
When you’re interviewing, ask where the role sits within the company. Is it under Corporate Affairs or HR... or Finance? You want to be set up for success with a team that’s well-integrated across the business.

Even better, no political ads!
Really enjoyed this NFL Sunday… (there’s never one I don’t if honest)

Packers/Bears
Steelers/Ravens
Seahawks/49ers
Bills/Chiefs

All excellent, tension filled games. Like the divisional playoff weekend! Loved it!

Will airlines, cruise lines, and other travel interests get on here at some point? I’d love to see some travel content.

This would not be the worst thing in the world.
Good news: Twitter is collapsing.

And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.

There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.

If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

Hello @bsky.app community. #publicrelations pro taking a shot here in hopes of escaping the cesspool that Twitter/X has turned into. We'll see what happens.
