Hey Megan! I rep Hitched.co.uk and our 2025 Wedding Trends Report shows that content creators are on the rise! Would love to send the release to you if of interest? Can also provide expert comms if helpful!

a woman says that was a good speech while wearing a black shirt ALT: a woman says that was a good speech while wearing a black shirt

God I hope so, it's so nice here

file it under "facts that will never come up in a pub quiz but that I will remember for the rest of time"

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

a coupon which says "10 likes*" and then in fine print says "* does not give you likes"

Due to the server issues some of your recent posts may have gotten fewer likes than they deserved

Please accept this coupon to rectify this, which allows you to imagine you got 10 more likes on your post than you did

Accidently just opened the old app instead of the clock app and had the jump scare of my LIFE.

Do I just delete it? Do I dare?

No

That seems sensible enough!!!

I guess it's how we (digital first folks) differentiate what "we do" vs what "they do" (traditionally).. when I have inhouse PR teams no longer asking me about the value of Links then I will stop using the term

Digital PR aka link building aka SEO PR aka PR with Links

A text exchange asking about the most popular wedding date, and the answer immediately.

Tell me you do PR for a wedding client without telling me

Oooh I actually haven't! Good tip, thank you 🫶🏼

That's so interesting!

But resting is so hard when every time I lay down, I start coughing again 😭

Haven't been sick in ages, I forgot how crap it is.

Congratulations!!!

But what is the scientific reason you feel worse at nighttime than during the day when you are ill?

Can't be temperature - that's been consistent in my house.

Been sniffling all day but 6pm hits and I'm coughing all over again 😭

Bored of it!

Feels appropriate for my first BlueSky post to be a PR call out! 📢

Have you ever used or requested sick leave from work to look after your pet? 🐶

Looking for a case study to be featured in a national PR campaign. Let me know if you can help!

a small, wrinkly basset hound puppy with droopy eyes sits on a collection of fuzzy blankets. his brown ears are each the length of his body, one hanging on the right side of his head, the other delicately in his mouth as he chews on the corner of it. this is a game changer.

This is Fred. He just found out he can chew his own ear. There aren't actually any rules against it, he checked. 12/10

So shocked reading this. The only reason I know about fibroids is a girl on Instagram I know has been on the waitlist for 18+ months and just this week had 5kg(!!) of fibroids removed. That's the size of 2 babies. With no interim care?!

Yeh I assumed that too but at the same time, I don't want to start following just anyone - I want to make sure it's the right folks, know what I mean!

Anyone else's Discover feed either posts from 18m ago or 18h ago? Doesn't seem to refresh as often and I'm seeing the same stuff over and over - do I just need to get following more accounts?

Hola

I lied about saving a cat that was stuck up a tree to get a Blue Peter badge. I'm glad Olivia Colman has got one after 50 years of trying.

The X exodus - could Bluesky spike spark end of Elon Musk's social media platform? Even Google appears to trust X less, with one expert telling Sky News the search engine treats X competitor Bluesky as 10 times more important than Elon Musk's platform.

Interesting to hear that Google already treats Bluesky as ten times more important than X

It’s almost like destroying a social platform with disinformation, hate and lies is making it less trustworthy…
