A job I know I’m the perfect fit for was posted online a few days ago. Is it overly aggressive to reach out to the recruiter and/or the person I would reporting to expressing my interest in the role?

No that's precisely what you should do. But don't write how much you want the job and how much it fits you / your goals. Write about how you can help or provide value to them. Ma keep it 2 short meaningful paragraphs and ask to talk/meet as CTA. Don't send resume(!) right off the bat and don't write long ass letter over explaining, nobody reads that and it's offputting. The objective is to spark interest and get a reply.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.
