B2B marketing strategist. Love books, bikes, cheese, and cinemas. Former projectionist. Non-practising German. Unreliable narrator. Probably have a crush on you
I still can’t believe my boyfriend is in so much debt that we can’t get married but I’ve taken things into my own hands now and nicked the money from my boss, if only it wasn’t raining so much, I’m so tired, oh look there’s a motel
No idea what to say after leaving a cinema with your mates? Afraid of sounding banal? No worries I’ve got you covered with these 3 comments that work every time: 🧵
if one more strategist suggests The Art of War as essential reading, I’m gonna scream.
Oh yes, Dave? When did you last move swift as the wind and closely-formed as the wood? I did not exactly see you attack like the fire and be still as the mountain in that meeting today
Burrito, love of my tongue, death of my heart. My sin, my soul. Bur-ri-to: the smack of the lips turns to a trill then steps up the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Bur. Ri. To.

thanks for explaining! I’ve been using Rev and as it’s cheap I assumed it was all voice recognition tech with some light-touch human editing. I’d be happy to send my transcriptions your way directly if that means you get paid a decent rate (i’m only an occasional user though)

People can be held accountable without a public witch-hunt or tons of social media speculation before anyone knows any facts though. And if you’re suggesting the MH crisis isn’t real…then I just hope you never go through bad MH without it being taken seriously
It’s my birthday! I’m going to spend it in the Sauna with this month’s Sight and Sound, then at the Nürnberg Christmas market for Glühwein. It’s all about staying warm

counterpoint: people do weird stuff when life is too much and that’s her way to communicate and connect, also she’s young and this is probably the hardest thing she or anyone ever has to do deal with so give her a break
Completely irresponsible waxwing birds 🐦🐦🐦 tend to eat fermented fruit and then lie drunk on the sidewalks.
Wise passers-by collect them and put them in a safe place until they sober up.

, mit der ich einst Milchkaffees und Schinkennudeln servierte, hat ein Buch über die Wurzelobsession der Deutschen geschrieben, dass echt mal jeder lesen sollte. Kaufen!
I've written a piece about psychoanalysis in film criticism and why it often doesn't work for me. It's also about how brilliant Barbara Stanwyck is in Stella Dallas.
the worst. one of the reasons in-house copywriter was such a stressful job pre-Covid. You’re expected not to mind the music played by the design department and join the jokes over at the pingpong table but still produce a 3000 word ebook on CRMs or ERPs by the end of the day
My Roman Empire is the fact that open plan offices are proven to be absolutely terrible conditions for working... and yet nowhere I've ever worked seems to have questioned this approach. A clear route to competitive advantage for agencies, but apparently no takers
i’m struggling a bit rn. work is slow which is a slight worry, and I’m low energy. Which I find extra annoying because when I have work, I always look forward to having time to read and working on my own projects. now that I havea bit of time, I feel tired and brain-foggy
I lost a friend last week, a talented musician and chess player and psychology prof and all-round nerd and purveyor of fun facts. Not posting for sympathy just to vent my anger at the unfairness of it all and verbally kick these bastard things in the shin
If you don’t have kids, you should:
- Be hitting the gym 5 times per week
- Have a strong social life
- Be working on 3-4 interesting hobbies
- Traveling as much as possible
You have all the time, there is no excuse
what I love about this place is you start thinking about a joke about Sophia Money Coutts but it’s fine if you can’t because you know it’ll be taken care of

as someone who works in marketing, I know that this is something non-marketers believe, but not something I’ve ever seen in practice. I’ve never seen a marketer go “let’s make an awful ad” or “let’s put in a typo to make it go viral”.
not sure 15 years on here is really worth celebrating but seeing things like the footage from the Navalny funeral shared widely, and having a bunch of reliable co-pisstakers in my pocket is pretty good I guess
