@wvistheduck A major theme here seems to be people who lump the DMV together vs those who actually live in DC. if you live in D it’s an easy distinction to make. If you live in the M or the V then you lump it all together.

I can very much relate to this...

Life of a generalist marketer. In the past year, I've worked on:
- writing content
- content strategy
- content editing
- link building
- social media content
- paid ads
- seo strategy
- video production
- pr
- guest post outreach

Marketing really is 10 jobs in 1. #Tshaped

[Chris Holt @CommsChrisDC]

@SeemaNayak There are plenty of jobs that involve specializing in these areas. Do you every feel like you're too much of a generalist, at least as far as employers or clients are concerned?

[Chris Holt @CommsChrisDC]

@PlanningShit It’s like a stylish jail cell window.

[Chris Holt @CommsChrisDC]

I do some communications work how climate adaption in developing countries threatens the most vulnerable. This is a reminder that we're all in a lot of trouble...

My new book, "How to Prepare for Climate Change,” is about where to live, what to grow, where to invest, how to insure, and how to build—and preparing for fires, floods, droughts, hurricanes, heat waves, ticks, and social unrest. The time has come, folks. https://t.co/mSShVaGKUB

The definition of insanity is painting bike lanes over and over again across a city and wondering why more people don’t actually bike.

@_cingraham I too have seen them. It's apparently the new fidget spinner

[Chris Holt @CommsChrisDC]

@kenyonindc They did ours too. we've been the payments every month since May. It will pay for itself in the next year or two.

Today we are releasing a new report: #MaximizingMicromobility, which reviews how cities have integrated micromobility with public transport and finds that integration can be key to expanding access and use of sustainable modes.

In Turkmenistan I recall a lot of inefficient farming (and especially wasted water), so this is nice to see. https://t.co/1HHeqsgygo

@jeffersonmorley @LucianPerkins @frankojazz1 @PoPville Thanks for this. I’ve always felt privileged to live here. You should look at this journal article for a complementary perspective: https://t.co/Tevtj6eWb7

[Chris Holt @CommsChrisDC]

A nice feature story on @TetraTechIntDev's Water Management Initiative in #Jordan

When it comes to water, decisions based on data can greatly improve service delivery🚰, sustain water resources💧 & build resilience🌧️.

That’s why, with support from the #GWSP, we’ve launched a new water data portal⇨ https://t.co/iPOu4nA3su

@PAnastasi Curious what the rankings would be if a U.K. magazine created the list.

[Mandy Jenkins @mjenkins]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it doesn't make you a bad citizen (or journalist) if you don't want to watch the debate. There are many ways to be informed about what happens that don't involve stressing yourself or giving up your evening.*

It's great to see a prominent org like IRC emphasizing the importance of #communications in the #water sector #WASH

[IRC @IRCWASH]

Water stress is real, urgent and material. How can the #water sector communicate better about addressing the #climate crisis with water solutions? Join this #WWWeek #AtHome session, happening TOMORROW.

@professorkim @jeffjarvis But newspapers endorse candidates - so if the add aligns w/WaPo values (or NYT etc) (and is FACT based), is it okay? Not sure how that works...

[Chris Holt @CommsChrisDC]

@professorkim @jeffjarvis It seemed ideological- maybe I misunderstood? It seems if "liberals" reacted the same to a pro-Biden ad w/ a similar tone, then the critique would be journalistic. that's one argument you could make on Fox...
