@membershippzzle ends after 4+ yrs, about 3 of which I’ve been w/the Puzzle for. It’s been an incredible journey – an occasionally hard, but always inspiring one that I’m so grateful to have taken. A thread of reflections and thank yous

Client wanted to offer member benefits that would be an org burden. I suggested he survey the audience first. He just wrote me: "Just 2 of them are interested in home delivery...Nobody was interested in T-shirts and shit. Wow." Ppl support good work bc it's good, not for swag.

We're looking for a Director of Audience at
@media_outlier. As a newer org folks often have questions before they apply. That's why we have a "hiring hotline". You can schedule a 20 min call to ask me anything you might want to know before you submit your application.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

To be clear... this particular warning for NYC is the second time we've ever issued a Flash Flood Emergency (It's the first one for NYC). The first time we've issued a Flash Flood Emergency was for Northeast New Jersey a an hour ago.https://twitter.com/NWSNewYorkNY/status/1433241055302803458 …

@UNCHussman offered this too. I took two unpaid internships in college, but was v lucky to get scholarships from UNC that covered my expenses. It’s not ideal, but more schools should do this.https://twitter.com/tanzinavega/status/1433052273018642434 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
I had 2 days between leaving
@newtropicmiami & starting at@membershippzzle. I had 2 weeks b/t leaving Kenya, where I was a freelancer, & starting at@newtropicmiami (and I spent it doing a Spanish immersion in Nicaragua). The fact that I have a WEEKS long break this time?
