Checked out my @thestorygraph.com stats for January. My three 5-stars were monster books. #Outlander was a reread but I did audio this time and fell more in love with my fictional book boyfriend Jamie Fraser hearing the pages brought to life! Jan. fav goes to Onyx Storm over KoA. Really tough call!

Don’t sleep on John & John’s pizza in #sododistrict #Orlando. It’s the best I’ve had in Central Florida so far. #phillystyle

With all the BS going on with DEI programs, I want to share my joy that I was able to have my trans child’s name used in little league, not his birth certificate name. They told me they have a no discrimination policy. We live in Florida. There are still decent people 🫶🏻

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Hot take? Have I shot myself in the foot of possible recruitment? Don't know but as an unemployed job hunter, I want DEI at my new workplace. And I think we should have conversation around whether it's important to job seekers! www.linkedin.com/posts/jlrusk...
Judy (Rusk) Schmidt on LinkedIn: Does DEI Matter in Your Job Hunt?
This might be a controversial take, but I believe we need to have the conversation around #DEI and how it impacts our #jobhunt as companies publicly scale back…

There are two types of professionals in a relationship. There’s me, who grew my @linkedin.com followers by 40% in 2024 and most of that was last 4 to 5 months of the year. 🤓 Then there’s my husband who posted today for the first time in 2 years. 🥳 #yingyang

Such a beautiful night at #Seaworld #orlando tonight. I’m currently gathering my strength for a ride on Mako. By drinking a rum chata holiday drink 🤣 I’ve ridden it before but it never fails to terrify me 🤣🎢

Monday night tree decorating. Only one ornament broken so far.

My daughter who will open a snack and just drop the wrapper on the floor is scrapping up stickers off the floor and sweeping. Why? We are bunny sitting and I told her I have to clean the floor and create an exercise space for him. I want to keep this bunny 🤣🤣

Literally every one of these things should be so easy for everyone to do and would make the world so much better.

As a #Philly area native, I love getting to wear my @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social hoodie in Orlando - I wait all year for this weather!!! Of course, if I were back home and it was going to be 68 degrees in November I’d bust out my short sleeves 🤣

When life throws you for a loop, hold on and ride it laughing like it’s #Velocicoaster I suppose! 😅🎢 #orlandophilosophy

It’ll be 12 weeks tomorrow since I got laid off. I’ve been applying & networking. And you know what’s happening? My own business is becoming the obvious answer as this week I’m committing to two new clients - one on retainer! Being my own boss was NOT on my bingo card for my 2024 🤣

Oh goody! Another social media app to scroll instead of reading 🤣

Also…not sure if these guys are military or guard but…I have never seen this kind of soldier/weapon situation in the parking lot after a concert 😳 Is this common? Have I just missed it?! Or is this #floridathings #orlando

Pink puts on a hell of a show! It was my first time seeing her live. She’s a powerhouse who is also down to earth and self-deprecating. Tonight became a core memory! #pink #summercarnival #orlando

Shared with and listened to concerns of other parents of trans kids today🏳️‍⚧️ Access to life-saving care, forced detransition, hate crimes…we can only hope the unknown is scarier than what we end up knowing after Inauguration Day #protecttranskids

I’m organizing a holiday hang for unemployed communications pros, as an unemployed #comms pro. I feel like we need a low pressure place to connect and network before we go to holiday gatherings and have to say “yep…still job hunting.”
