Linkedin

In late January of 2025, I posted a piece on LinkedIn called  FEMA Truth . I hit publish, closed my laptop, and went about my day. Within hours my phone began lighting up. Notifications stacked on notifications. Likes, reposts, thoughtful comments. Direct messages from people I had never met. My profile views spiked. Professionals across the country were engaging in a serious conversation about the future of our field. In the end,  267 reactions, 61 comments, 75 reposts, 48.707 impressions, 128 profile views, 44 new followers.   It felt great.   It was also humbling. Because most of my posts do not do that.   Last week I posted what I thought was a meaningful piece from the  Survivor’s Perspective .  Something we do not consider enough.   6 reactions, 0 comments, 1 repost, 175 impressions, 1 profile view.   Most of my posts, like most posts from emergency managers, receive modest engagement. A handful of likes. Maybe one comment. Then they quietly disappear down the feed.   The difference is rarely luck. It is usually content, design, timing, and intentional engagement. LinkedIn is not random. It rewards clarity, relevance, and interaction.   If you want your voice to travel further, here is a practical guide.   Start With Content That Serves   The FEMA Truth

My organizational strategies as a freelancer are not particularly modern or meticulous. I just list all of my assignments — including their fees and deadlines — in a Google spreadsheet. I keep a messy, running list of story ideas in a Google doc, and file all rejected or ignored pitches in yet another Google doc, where they rest until they find the right home. (This post is not sponsored by Google.)  I also use my Notes app as host to my ongoing to-do list, to flag which sources I’ve reached out to and when, and to contain what I call “scraps” — pieces of story drafts I’ve demoted to the cutting room floor.  That’s pretty much it: I don’t have separate work and life email addresses (let alone email filters and folders), don’t consolidate transcripts and drafts for each story in any sort of logical way (the search function suffices), and it works for me, for now.  But some freelancers want, need or thrive on more intricate systems, and there are increasingly more clever tools out there that deliver them. After all, the more you can streamline the administrative sludge successful freelancing requires, the more time and energy you can

A magistrate who liked a post on LinkedIn which contained ‘several politically sensitive statements’ has been issued formal advice for misconduct.  Source: Alamy A complaint was made by a member of the public that Adrian Kermode had liked a posted in August 2025 on LinkedIn and his actions were in breach of the standards of conduct expected of judicial office-holders. Kermode accepted responsibility and apologised. A spokesperson for the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office said Kermode took ‘prompt action to delete the like and gave assurances as to his future conduct’. However the JCIO said the magistrate’s actions ‘risked undermining public confidence in his impartiality and had reputational implications for the magistracy’. It added: ‘The declaration and undertaking signed by all magistrates on their appointment states that they will maintain the good reputation of the magistracy at all times, in their private, working, and public lives. ‘Social media guidance for the judiciary cautions against expressing or appearing to endorse views that could cast doubt on an office-holder’s objectivity or impartiality. This includes engaging with controversial content, including by liking, sharing, or commenting on posts that relate to political, legal, or socially divisive issues.’ Mr Justice Keehan, on behalf of the lady chief
