Hi & hello — my day job is seeking content marketing writers! As the eventual boss, my preference is for freelancers I know.

Do you have a portfolio of writing popular articles? Can you write with an unmistakable author voice? Knowledge of writing to keywords nice but not necessary! DM me! ❤️

It makes perfect sense that Burr had an epiphany! INSPIRINGLY, he traveled to Saudi Arabia to play a local club and empathize with the culture and its people! It’s not like he was being directly funded by the crown prince to headline a government sponsored event meant to launder public opinion!!!

Alan (Who Is Awesome) @alanwritesstuff.bsky.social · 12d

So many memories with this incredible guy, going all the way back to when we used to cover something called “E3” together 😱

Excited for whatever comes next for you Zion 👀

Zion Grassl @ziondood.bsky.social · 12d

After nearly 7 years working with the team at Nintendo Life, I'm stepping away to try something new ✨

I'll miss my colleagues, this community, and the freedom that Nintendo Life gave me to cover whatever I found important. It's truly been a dream come true, so thank you ♥
