Feels weird this morning to be on @bsky.app but no longer with the amazing team @blueskystrategy.bsky.social. Miss them already but SO looking forward to the next chapter in my career as the Director of Communications for Hon. @avankoeverden.bsky.social. That chapter starts Monday!

Our #BlueskyBookClub pick today is from Senior Consultant @alysonfair.bsky.social: At a Loss for Words: Conversation in an Age of Rage, by Carol Off

It's a powerful reminder that civil discourse isn’t just nice, it’s necessary.

Just finished @caroloff.bsky.social latest must-read for anyone who loves language like I do. She dives into six words that have been distorted and used to push agendas, and asks: can we reclaim their original meaning? Timely, sharp, and thought-provoking. #highlyrecommend #BlueskyReads #cdnpoli

Been meaning to add this #BlueskyPodcastProps to my listening pleasure list. My colleague’s recommendations are usually bang on… so adding it now.
Today's #BlueskyPodcastProps goes to: SmartLess, EVP Stuart McCarthy’s pick.

Hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes & Will Arnett, this funny, offbeat, and often sneakily insightful podcast is great for winding down, or thinking sideways.
