Knowing when to fold ’em

01.13.2022 by Maggie McGary // 8 Comments

I just want to say one thing off the bat: I am horrible at saying goodbye. So horrible, in fact, that I mostly just don’t do them–I ghost, I avoid, I say I’m not saying goodbye yet…then just let the clock tick down until the opportunity has passed. I write a note instead of showing […]

How are you doing 18 months into COVID? Like, REALLY doing?

09.15.2021 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Hey! Blogging feels so weird now, as if there wasn’t an entire 12+ year period where it felt as natural as breathing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to push past the weirdness and just jump back in, only to have overthought it to the point of somewhere between panic and abject […]

How has it been 13 years? Plus TMI update on me and where I’ve been

05.23.2021 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Holy roly–where to even start after getting totally out of the habit of blogging when it was so much a part of your life and routine for 13 years. Yep, Mizz Information turned 13 back in February–here’s the first post, and damned if my original goals for starting this blog didn’t come true and then […]

The Other Diversity: Neurodiversity

11.18.2020 by Maggie McGary // 3 Comments

Ok, this is creepy. I’ve been reading and thinking about this topic for more than three years. I’ve amassed a collection of more than 100 articles, books, videos and other resources about it. I even started drafting a blog post about it so long ago I wasn’t even sure I’d saved it. For some reason […]

Kudos to People Who Can do Stuff Like Think of Coherent Blog Post Titles Right Now

Three heads with a cloud of confusion over one of them

So a month ago I showed up here after being radio silent for more than a year with every intention of getting back into the writing/connecting groove because I miss being part of some kind of community that exists outside the confines of my head/house/client work. And I was so, so happy to hear back […]

When it’s been so long that you can’t even think of a title

09.29.2020 by Maggie McGary // 14 Comments

Holy moly it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. Or anywhere else, really, for that matter. In case the world in general didn’t already feel surreal and weird and depressing enough, logging into WordPress and discovering that it’s been so long since I blogged that there’s a whole new interface here on […]

Why Every Association Exec Needs to Read The State of Community Management Report

06.12.2019 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Hellloooo there! Been about a million minutes since I last posted here–or anywhere, other than my journal–but I guess that’s what happens when you become your own boss. It’s been a wild year to say the least, but kind of an awesome one. I’ll save the long story for another time, but short story: I’m […]

What Associations Can Learn From Journalism about Membership and Engagement

11.18.2018 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Pea pod with title transposed over it

Remember when I wrote about how journalism was scrambling to find a sustainable path forward as brands continue to shift their ad spend to digital giants Facebook and Google? And how that path forward is the same one that associations have always relied on: membership? Well, it’s been about 18 months and the Membership Puzzle […]

Update on me. Or why adulting with mental illness is hard as hell

10.10.2018 by Maggie McGary // 19 Comments

puppy feet

First of all, hi. Hope your summer was good. I’ll be honest–mine was hard. I’ve been ruminating over how much to share here for a few months…which is basically why I’ve stopped blogging, I guess. I’ve written about mental health stigma before, and about how much better teens and young adults are at talking openly […]

Desktop with keyboard and mouse

Hey there–sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I say “posted” rather than “written,” because I’ve been writing a ton over the past few months, actually. Just none of it here, or anywhere public. Working on the blogging part, because I still think there’s value in blogging and I still have a lot […]
