I don't trust people who actively dislike The Beatles.

Manatees are aquatic animals that live in coastal waters in several places throughout the world. https://t.co/5pEW8sDxGB

Other award show jobs I'd excel at:

Dump button presser
Walk off music supervisor
Just-announced winner handler
Control room op in charge of capturing reactions

[Kelsey @phonymixtape]

I am once again asking how one gets a job producing and/or hosting on award show red carpets? We all deserve better interviews with the stars and I can deliver.

Oppenheimer is an interesting watch, but it takes a lot of conscious choices to write, cast, and direct a film that is so starkly homogeneous. If you believe your film to be historically accurate and it ends up looking like this, perhaps your (figurative) lens wasn't wide enough.

[Kelsey @phonymixtape]

@JayGabler And also was it narratively essential for Florence Pugh’s character to be completely naked in all but one scene? 🙃

[Kelsey @phonymixtape]

@JayGabler Agreed. I’m also thinking about the communities (many Indigenous) who were displaced by the Manhattan Project, and the women and people of color who contributed to it. Throwaway lines nod towards a broader cultural context before quickly recentering the white male perspective.

@RottenInDenmark You might as well be in a room full of falcons?

Every one of Soraya's points resonates deeply. I jumped ship for higher ed ~2 years ago and feel healthier and more supported at work. Working with journalism students, I underscore life balance and try to prepare them to advocate for themselves, precisely because of these norms.

Last week was the end of my time @NPR. It was also the end of my time in journalism.

I have spent close to a decade making audio & fighting for the rights of my colleagues as an organizer @GimletUnion, contract action mem @NYTimesGuild & steward @WeMakeNPR.

@coreyschreppel Oh, Corey. I know.

[Kelsey @phonymixtape]

@katherinethegr8 I've volunteered during text campaigns before and this is way expected. I wouldn't worry about it!

[Kelsey @phonymixtape]

This advice is evergreen! You never know what's going to be great as a work sample or portfolio piece down the road. There's great work I did in undergrad that I wish I had today. There's great professional work I did that I wish I would have pushed harder to get credit for.

[Kelsey @phonymixtape]

As we near the end of the academic year, two pieces of advice for students in college media:

1. Save all your portfolio work now, and make sure it will be accessible to you outside of your school accounts.

2. Make sure all your published work features your byline correctly.

[Kelsey @phonymixtape]
