Today in small wins:

I suggested we use a photo of one of the “KPop Demon Hunters” floats from the Macy’s parade for the front page and my boss is going for it.

I have an idea for a headline. Let’s go!

Good news 🗞️! I won first in my category in the ACES headline contest.

Who knew my pop culture knowledge and twisted sense of humor would pay off in a professional context?

Should I throw a Sabrina Carpenter reference in for this coffee and tariffs headline? Probably not. Am I going to do it? Yes. ☕️

I have written a silly headline. I’m trying to make space for another.

Let’s see if I can pull it off.
