Screenshot of 2 posts from the other social media site. The first is from Anthony Quintano with a photo he took down at the Jersey Shore of a bird flying in front of the sun with an orange sky in the background. The photo resembles the logo for the Wawa convenience store chain. The second post is a retweet from 3AMBristol that says “Nailed It!” With the hashtags #Wawa & #JerseyShore

Thinking of that time @anthonyquintano.com nailed the perfect #Wawa logo in a real life photo from down the #JerseyShore

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov

I’m finally climbing out of hard times. Today, I accepted the role of Director of Social Media and Content at Optimum. It’s been a long, emotional road, but positive things are happening again — and I’m truly grateful. Thank you to everyone who reached out to help.

It was a beautiful day for a Half Marathon! #UnitedNYCHalf

Join me as I pick up my bib for the #unitedNYCHalf.

Ready for the NYC Half!

We heard you wanted 3 min videos

Quitting Twitter was easier than I ever thought it would be. It’s like looking at an old apartment now.

Twitter and the markets are both down apparently

12 miles down as we prepare for the NYC Half next week!

It was!

Congratulations to Tom Llamas for becoming the new anchor for NBC Nightly News!

I ran the NYRR Washington Heights 5K with a shakeout run across the George Washington Bridge and a cool down going back to New Jersey. Best 5K time yet.

The reason why TV anchors start SubStacks instead of YouTube channels is because they’re not actually good at video. All they know how to do is speak to a camera and write.

@joyannreid.bsky.social Launch your YouTube channel!

Joy, I hope you know if you start your YouTube channel now, you will have more of an audience on there than you did on MSNBC. Start now! @joyannreid.bsky.social

Back then, taking bts photos while working in production was against the rules—and in some cases, it still is. But now, capturing bts moments has become a full-time job for many. I’m proud to say I was one of the few who became a social media content creator before iPhones even existed.

Most of the selfies I have w/ celebs happened because they asked me if I wanted one, not the other way around. I made a point to strike up conversations, and sometimes, they even approached me. Spike Lee came up to me to discuss the Canon 5D Mark II I was holding and asked for my thoughts.

I knew my way around a television set. I understood the importance of staying professional around celebrities—treating them like regular people because that’s what they preferred. They rarely wanted to talk about themselves or the movies they were in.

Long before I became a social media manager, I worked in television production. I started my career as a broadcast production utility and eventually became a camera operator. It was because of my 15 years of experience in tv production that I landed my job at NBC News as a social media manager. 🧵

It was tough but I survived! Thank yoi for asking!

Thank you!

I’m running the #FredLebowHalf Marathon tomorrow in NYC!
