At this point, when I see the X logo on a progressive organization's website, it's a bit of a red flag.
Either they don't see the problem with being active on X, or they do, but they don't have the comms staffing/infrastructure to move their presence to Bluesky and to update their website

Hey communicators - Need a fresh idea for Pi Day?

It's a great day for pie charts!
There are a zillion charts out there, but if you have your own data, pie charts are super easy to make in Excel (with your brand colors!)

I've used Shutterstock for years, thinking that a stock photo subscription would prevent this.
Just a heads up to anyone who uses stock photos of any kind, the vast majority of these sites use AI now, most without including a filter, or some just ignore the filter.

Pro tip: Affirmations make great passphrases.
Ask yourself: what's a short idea or principle I want to repeat to myself every day?
Take that, put it in title case, add some special characters, and boom, you've got a passphrase

Stumped on how to craft a passphrase? Try using ideas from a song, poem, affirmation, prayer, slogan, or tagline.
And be sure to use a password manager like Bitwarden to keep track of them all.

Long shot, but I'll put it out there: Does anyone know of a way to view all your installed fonts, including Adobe fonts, grouped by type? (e.g. sans serif, handwriting, decorative, geometric) This would be on a PC.
Or have a hack for keeping track of fonts?

Tip: If you want to talk about a news article but the social card has an image that you don't feel like sharing, you can just delete the card and add whatever picture you want.
No little card summary but on the upside, no more Sam Altman's Big Doofy Head.

Soul-searching question for my communication comrades: is your email program building community or increasing spam and cynicism?
#npcomms
#npcomms
REMINDER: If your campaign's engagement strategy is indistinguishable from commercial spam you are "poisoning the well" of grassroots support and actually undermining collective power-building. Being annoying does get people’s attention just not the type that leads to positive change. Please stop.
