A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Pro soccer marketing journeyman 🇳🇿
What it looks like when people send your players racist DMs on Instagram (“you fucking monkey”… “stupid blacks”… “stupid n-“…), and you report the accounts under IG’s “hate speech or symbols” reporting tab: no action taken, and no “other tools” to help. Thanks for taking hate speech so seriously! 🙄

Literally my dog yesterday.

Normally I hate when people mock another person’s name, because it’s a deeply personal thing that often has deep cultural meaning.

But sometimes…

Fun fact: the Hellbender isn’t just the salamander with the coolest name; it also has the coolest nicknames. Allow me to introduce you to my friend the Snot Otter, aka Ol’ Lasagna Sides. #nature

No, but congrats on getting the Athletic to foot the bill for some overseas travel!

Just for you and @katiebug0524.bsky.social, here’s my dog Roux boldly trying to turn a corner in midair:

Happy Monday from my office mates Junior and Herb. (Not pictured: Derwin the otocinclus who stays in the back and keeps everything clean, like a good safety should. And if you’re wondering if I named my office fish after Chargers players - yes, yes I did.)

One of the many reasons I prefer this place to the other place is I’ve been able to build a feed that’s largely scientists, so scrolling is so much more enjoyable and positive. And here’s a fact for Carly:

Wombats have square 💩.

I have this one saved in my phone. Lily was actually calling from the Toyota dealership, not my toilet.

Best legs on BlueSky. I’m expecting my DMs to be wild after the ladies get a lot of those pins.

Red-tailed hawk showing off a little before dinner; and one less squirrel in my neighborhood for my dog to freak out about. #nomnom

Glad we came out on the right end of that one 😂

I’ll always appreciate RSL taking good care of us while we were there. The case of beer their marketing team left mine was very much appreciated. 💙🤍

Good morning to everyone, and welcome to all of the new followers I picked up overnight when I unexpectedly went viral for saying @mollyjongfast.bsky.social is a good person!

Here’s a pic of my dog Roux when he was a puppy, exploring the outdoors for the first time after I brought him home.

The more time I spend with biologists in my new job, the more jealous I am of people like @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and @vgwschutte.bsky.social who get to do cool shi… stuff every day. Forget marketing, I want to be a scientist in my next life.

Trump’s rally speakers: Kamala Harris is “the antichrist” and “the devil” with a “Samoan-Malaysian low IQ,” Hillary Clinton is “a sick son of a bitch,” foreigners (like me!) are “fucking illegals,” and Puerto Rico is a “floating island of garbage.”

When you have to attend a two-day supervisory course for state employees and the state offers a session at the NC Zoo, you pick that one. Those are the rules.

(And shoutout to the GBBO fan on their marketing team.)

I once visited an old town in France. Somewhere in Burgundy, IIRC. There was a fountain in the town square that dated back to medieval times, and included two figures performing a sex act. ♋️

I’m such a damn trendsetter 😎

Me after seeing an irrelevant ad yet again at The Bad Place knowing I’ve already clicked “not interested” on it before.

Clapping back is the best. Phoenix Rising FC is legendary in soccer circles here for this one:

Apparently my legacy at one of my former clubs may end up being… inspiring the Washington Commanders’ new hashtag.

1. That time Roux tried to turn a corner in midair while running around with his rope.
2. That time Roux decided his toys needed to admire the view from the window with him.

1. Getting to dive with great white sharks this past December.

2. Sitting in a bench in Yachats, Oregon, drinking a bottle of wine and watching seals play on the rocks near the shore - and then seeing a blow a hundred or so yards away and realizing a sperm whale was hanging out.

Beignet got a new sand bath and was PUMPED about it.
