If you’re a higher ed staff member who is looking for this type of ✨free community✨ and job search resources, we’re launching in September - please consider signing up for notifications here: mattnazario.com/contact

After driving university-wide comms and content strategy for the last 3 years of my 10-year career, I’m now job hunting in a tough market. We all are. And staff in higher ed need community right now.

So I recently launched the Higher Ed Staff Hope Collective ✨ mattnazario.com/2025/08/23/a...

we thought the future would be bright, but here we are, over 30 and can’t even have eggs with our avocado toast anymore

idk I’d rather discuss why planes keep falling apart

I find it hard to believe they couldn’t find better than hormona lisa, joella, etc. with all the people auditioning annually esp drag kings being turned away??

on the flip side, it’s also been interesting to notice who I’m pulled to reach out to and who I’ve been okay with letting go.

people aren’t built to sustain hundreds of friendships, anyway. it’s just refreshing to know who the real ones are and who just wanted to keep tabs on me.
