I thought the Lions loss would be the low point of the week, but then The Messenger shut down today. Which means I don't have a job! Which is not good! Anyway, if you need somebody who can write about Vanderpump Rules with the same vigor as professional wrestling, DMs are open.
As the internet has heard, @TheMessenger is no more. As such, I am open for full-time gigs and freelance! I will cover anything but my specialty is Mom shows (I am your girl for Hallmark and Lifetime!), Shondaland, teen romances and more. And I will be at the upcoming TCA tour
I had to go to the archives, but I did want to share a few recent pieces that I'm super proud of from my brief time at The Messenger.
First, I dug into the question a lot of fellow parents have: Is Cocomelon safe for kids? https://t.co/8liiaTbjRA
It took me a little bit, but I finally know what I want to say about The Messenger.
I knew what I was signing up for. There were bright red flags from the start. But I had recently been laid off, and here was a well-paying offer to work with my friends doing what I love to do.
Hello! This is a little delayed but I wanted to announce on the bird app that I am no longer at @TVGuide and am settling into my new position as Sr. TV Writer at @TheMessenger! It's a great team and I'm excited for you to see what we are cooking up in just a couple of weeks!
Small announcement: I'm now officially covering TV full time at @TheMessenger. I'm very excited to help start a vertical from scratch, and I'm proud of myself for surviving a year and a half of freelancing with only a *slightly* alarming amount of credit card debt!
Yup. @DarrenFranich is one of the best entertainment critics the country. He’s so very smart, insightful, fearless and has an incredible sense of humor. Also, a terrific human and coworker. Whoever lands him next is going to be very fortunate indeed.
@derekjlawrence Derek 💙💙💙 … you were the hardest working, fastest learning, most tireless intern ever, and you never stopped hustling. Your success at EW and after is all your own!
