Hey you! Good to be reconnected here and thank you so much! Will look them up.
Who has an actual, human accountant they like? I have W2 + 1099 income this year, my husband and I both switched jobs, and we also inherited money. Want to get a head start on prepping for what is likely a confusing tax filing for next year.

Surprised someone didn’t try this sooner. A good analysis.
Had a mock interview with a @merrillcollege.bsky.social student and I was wearing my #Terps shirt for the Sweet 16 game today and they forgot there was a game! 😬 Oh well, I think I probably follow @univofmaryland.bsky.social sports more now than when I was in college too. #goterps

And look, two fights to kick off the game! I love hockey.
The 4 Nations tournament has been an excellent boost for hockey and the NHL. @goldenknights.bsky.social players are on both Team Canada and Team USA. Great to watch on TV.
Does anyone actually LIKE Looker reports anymore? They are so finicky!
Had an amazing time at the #creatingchange conference representing @newsisout.bsky.social this week with @danapiccoli.com and Michel Pelletier.
The Grammarly plugin for Chrome has gotten so distracting with its popups to suggest edits that are part of paid that I’m considering uninstalling it entirely. Anyone else found something else?

Happy Day before Press Forward Open Call on Infrastructure deadline, where any journalist who procrastinates on grant application writing and logging into the portal realizes that you shouldn't apply the same deadline-driven approach to philanthropy as you do to news.
Instead we spent a generation focused on the high-value and gripping content that comes from live coverage and victim interviews. We focused too much on the creative aspect of the craft, instead of what the community needs.
It feels like if, for the past decade, media had covered more of the fallout of disasters, such as the insurance crises in states like CA and FLA, citizens would be more empowered to help themselves after a disaster. I've only seen stories about insurance issues in the last 2-3 years in the media.
I was JUST lamenting this this morning. Same with pinning an email.
Hello Active Campaign. I haven't missed you since December 17. Time to remember how to do email production again!
Here on Blue Sky 👋. Kind of enjoyed the break from ignoring Twitter and consuming less social media. But here we all are.
