Ah, no worries—perhaps that tweet could go out
whenever the US is most
active on Twitter then (I assume now/the evening? I'm not up to date with
my social media usage research...).
If possible, I'd also like to have multiple rounds of social media for
this story—in part because I think we can post multiple times about the
same stories to get more traffic, but also because I'd like to see what
kind of language plays best for these posts! I know that you're pretty busy
with your other work, so if needed I'm willing to help where I can.
