I'm celebrating Jess Day by watering my house plants and eating ramen.

Not entirely sure if Jess eats ramen, but I'll eat ramen while thinking about how cool and nice Jess is.

📢 We hereby declare that this day, the 30th September, will henceforth be known as Jess Rutland Day. 🥳 Why, you might ask?

This cheeky Business Development & Marketing Manager kept their birthday on the DL yesterday, which simply will not fly. 👀

Instructions to follow. 🧵

Being a CM isn't easy. It can involve navigating toxicity and a minefield of potential miscommunication. In an industry where everyone's trying to be everywhere at once, gain the tools to keep yourself and others safe online. 💚

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.
