It’s great to be busy at work. 💪

But I would rather do less, better than do more, badly.

[Megan Treacy @mtreacy]

@Kcpoulter Consistency of style, too. 💪 Also, why I love a style guide. Like, I could write odes to style guides.

A great thread about how we should be making content native to each platform, not trying to send people elsewhere.

[Stuart Balcombe @stubalcombe]

So here’s a 🤯 quote from ShipBob’s new Head of Content @amandanat:

“people aren't scrolling through Twitter in hopes of leaving Twitter.”

🧵 There’s so much to unpack here...

[Megan Treacy @mtreacy]

@LabMuffin I believe this is universal. 😂

We’ve been repackaging podcasts and webinars at https://t.co/8UDhtxVKYQ for ~3 months

We just completed repackaging our 200th episode for customers.

Here’s a thread with a few things we’ve learned 👇👇👇

[Kieran Flanagan 🤘 @searchbrat]

Tech companies who create a place where creators want to work, because they can do great work will have a distant advantage 👇

[Ross Simmonds @TheCoolestCool]

Content shouldn't live and die on the platform where its originally published.

One blog post should become a:
> LinkedIn update
> YouTube video
> Podcast episode
> Visual graphic
> Instagram post
> And so much more..

Embrace repurposing. Embrace remixing. Embrace distribution.

@kaleighf Short, recorded interviews are key for ghostwriting for me because you can do a bit of story coaching as you go and end up with a really clear piece of content to use for articles, social media posts, etc.

@MeiraGebel I would love to see this out there.

[Megan Treacy @mtreacy]

Yes! I clearly remember asking my professors if they had freelance advice to give me and they all just sort of shrugged. Their experiences were from a time when you were on staff or nothing, buy that’s not how it’s worked for a looonnng time.

[Meira Gebel ♡ @MeiraGebel]

i've spoken with a dozen freelance journalists like myself who went to j-school and every single one said there was little to no freelance education in their school's curriculum.

it's almost as if talking about the possibility of freelancing after graduation is taboo.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

Many people think they are striving for perfection when in fact in fact they are striving for some particular thing that is no more or less perfect than any of the other things they could have more easily or quickly made. It is not about perfect, it is about a dream being real.

I had tears in my eyes watching this today. Amazing. https://t.co/35cZ6t3xGC

Did you ever think you'd see a sight like this outside of a scifi movie? #FalconHeavy

It's that time of year again when we have to explain that winter weather and climate change aren't mutually exclusive. https://t.co/gVLwYjH7NB

[NYT Science @NYTScience]

Why so cold? Climate change may be part of the answer https://t.co/JkDQbmKbEl

[National Parks Conservation Association @NPCA]

We don't. https://t.co/j0pBjKg6yz

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Odd. No one is in denial of America’s Aug 21 total solar eclipse. Like Climate Change, methods & tools of science predict it.

My favorite endangered species in #BadLandsNationalPark is either the Black-Footed Ferret or the Brass-Balled Tweeter.
