Guest post by Sohini Baliga, Director of Communications, Taxpayers for Common Sense, and Elizabeth Weaver Engel, M.A., CAE, CEO & Chief Strategist, Spark Consulting LLC Associations don’t always have all the answers (we know, you’re shocked). We definitely have some major advantages, not the least of which is that we are highly a cooperative and collaborative […]
Mental health stigma goes double for older people–and why we need to fix that
Remember that time last summer that I declared that I was done blogging about social media and was pivoting to writing about mental health? Or how almost exactly a year ago I wrote about mental health stigma and how it seems to be much worse for older people than younger ones? And then I proceed […]
10 years of Mizz Information…and 10 free or cheap digital marketing tools
Well, I somehow managed to miss this blog’s 10 year anniversary on February 24. Not that anyone actually cares about this other than me, but still…10 years is a LONG TIME for a commitment-phobe like me : ) Looking back at my first post I have to say that I’ve never really stopped to think about […]
In Facebook We Trust. Why?
As baffling and rage/fear/frustration-inducing as the 24/7 political news cycle is, another–admittedly, much lower key– narrative has been snagging my attention lately: Facebook. If you read this blog or know me, I know “lately” is a laughingly inadequate descriptor of the time period during which I’ve been obsessed with the topic of Facebook. I’ve actually […]
Sunset an association’s community? Community IS the association
It’s been a minute since I’ve written about my all-time favorite topic: online community for associations. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking (aka obsessing) about it though…for better or for worse, depending which way you look at that 🙂 Even though I’ve recently switched over to the “dark side” (although it’s the brightest dark […]
10 Years. 524 Movies. In the Theater.
How can it be that 10 years have sped by, just like that? If you read this blog, you know I’m obsessed with movies–going to the movies, in particular. I started doing a blog recap of movies I saw in the theater in 2008 and, unlike just about every other thing in my life, have […]
LinkedIn Groups: still there, but barely
*updated with additional links at end of post* It’s been a few months since I’ve sounded my regular alarm that LinkedIn Groups’ days are numbered based on the steady deprecation of the product’s functionality over the past few years…which doesn’t mean I’ve stopped thinking about this topic obsessively 🙂 So, where are we with LinkedIn’s […]
Long time no see!
Hey there–is this thing still on? Long time no see over here at Mizz Information. It’s been a crazy year on many fronts…to say the least. In this age of “pivot to video” and podcasts being all the rage, I admit it’s a struggle to keep the blogging enthusiasm alive. But at the same time, […]
Mental Health Stigma When You’re Not a Celebrity or a Teen
Mental health has had a banner few weeks in the news and across the internet–at least when the news centers around celebrities or teens. Sinead O’Connor and Justin Bieber made headlines about their battles with depression and mental illness and Diply applauded a list of celebrities who have shared their struggles with mental illness. Two teens were lauded for […]
At Least We Can Laugh About Depression
I was surprised and humbled by the number of people I heard from after my last post. It’s good but also sad to know that so many people are impacted by mental health issues and mental illness (I admit I’m still grappling with the least awkward/most accurate verbiage to use when talking about this stuff).
