Hey i was wondering if you have any advice on dealing w social media / content addiction? i feel like i follow so many ppl whose style i like that finally i have no sense of my own self! it’s so difficult for example i want to use instagram just to see what ly friends are up to but i get suggested posts, reels, ads no matter what i do and it’s so distracting! i feel like this started after i started using twitter(i have stopped now but the trauma remains lol), i was just a lurker on hf twt (where i discovered u) but god are the ppl there vicious!! like in general conflict-oriented and selfish and so materialistic as if everything is done for the photo and everyone is basking in their own individuality / ‘originality’ !! it made me super anxious to post anything anywhere and even irl the friends i attracted were of the more superficial kind and it seems soc media / trends is the most important thing for so many. sorry for this rant, literally just wanted to share. but really, if you have any tips on how to centre yourself ig or just be confident and protect urself from such energy (yes i know im probably insane)

i completely understand what ur saying. dont worry u can get out of it!! the most important thing to keep in mind is that u dont need a definitive style. u dont need to settle on a specific aesthetic or whatever. forget labels and avoid trends. dont try to fit urself into a box or niche because it takes away from ur own actual individuality and personality. with style and clothes id say two things: first notice what u feel most comfortable and confident wearing. not styles but simply pieces. are u more of a jeans or skirts person? what fits ur body better? what makes u feel like u stand out the most? and second what is it that u wanna let the world think of u based on ur clothes. style is a form of non communicative language. people will assume a lot about u based on what u wear. do u wanna be perceived as more elegant? more laid back? more feminine or more masculine? its all up to you. theres no right or wrong answer. all id say is present urself to the world as if u were the brightest star in the universe dont be afraid to outdress or outshine others. not everyone has the confidence to pull that off but if u can u will definitely be more admired and respected

VTuber Re-Starter Kit (2023)

Who knows wtf Twitter is gonna look like by the end of the year? Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, Tumblr, and all the other cesspits? I’ve got it all covered! Social media is changing and we must change with it. I’m so tired god please weh

Twitter is in free fall. Panic ensues. Valid. Many of us need that hellsite. Badly. It’s imperfect trash, but its *our* trash, understand? Fuck these “alternatives”. They are all noise right now. Cohost doesn’t allow commercial activity in its TOS, Mastodon has low engagement right now. Twitter Blue is here to stay. As VTubers, we all benefit from having it, actually. For $8/mo, you will be prioritized and boosted with mentions and replies. This means that threads and replies to you bump you up on the TL. Even if you pay for it, Lists and Twitter Circles are still a good idea. Heck, rotate people out of Twitter Circles to make sure you’re able to talk to more people. Continue to use Twitter to network by providing value to others and help others in their journey. Be chill and don’t use people for clout--it’s disingenuous. Treat people like people.

I can’t guarantee that things will be the same here on Twitter and neither can anyone else. The current data sets I see from clients and others may show that not much is changing, but this site is changing every day. We need to play it day by day and not worry too much about it.

Twitter has shops, utilize tf out of the business features. Given how much of a mess the site is with its daily tweaks and the loss of valuable engineers at Twitter, things could be topsy-turvy. Who knows? Be active!

This being said, you shouldn’t rely on Twitter alone. It’s not good for your business nor is it good for growing your brand recognition. So I’ll list where to go and the use cases. Don’t use this list to go to literally every place. There’s just not enough time in a day to maintain it all.

Instagram

Don’t make Insta your mainstay. Please, for the love of God don’t. Everything wrong with FB is still wrong with Insta with the added bonus of it being Diet Tik Tok. That being said, it still is a good networking tool and can help your sales with its shop features (for businesses/brands/media that don’t want to use Twitter). So what to do with Insta? Repost your Tik Toks and hit it n quit it. Post your schedule (3:2 format, crop down with 1:1 squares and schedule out posts to upload your schedule). Update your stories with important things (they’re pinned tweets basically). Have a link in your profile and reply to people when you can. Use relevant hashtags and hashtags that aren’t super saturated. GL;HF

Tik Tok

Hit it n Quit it

Post in prime times

Turn brain off

Be unhinged with your originals

Remix and hf with trends

Repost best shorts elsewhere

Tumblr

It’s 2012 again and we have no character limits and post gif memes

Relax, hf, life moves slower with an older audience

Not a Twitter replacement

SEO can be a benefit (technical jargon I’ll save you from), but you must remain authentic. What works on Twitter doesn’t fly on Tumblr. You will not get traction from doing what you do here.

Pay attention to etiquette. You can have assholes, but many are willing to joke as if nothing had happened. Be consistent by liking and reblogging things. Turn off your brain and follow blogs and tags that are up your alley and QUEUE up things to keep posting throughout the day. Tumblr humor is ironic, but not irony-poisoned. It’s punny and quirky and you must kill the chains that bind your inner cringe. Truly be yourself, share your personal thoughts more (it's a blogging site ffs), share your fandom of things, and things’ll be okay.

Also important on the ettiquite as a first tip: dont act like you do on Twitter. Its a different audience and the normal ways of crossposting wont work here. This is not Twitter. Tumblr is a blogging site where blogs share each other and it is fandom-heavy (meaning sharing who your favorite oshii is for example and hyping up others). It comes naturally. Be yourself and focus on building up a presence on your blog to give people a good idea of who tf you are. Nobody is really a celebrity here and you can't act like you are here. USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGSUSE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TAGS USE TA--

YouTube

I made another mega thread for this, read it later. YouTube should be one of your mainstays as a VTUBER. It’s more work, yes, but they also have Community Posting for everyone now. Scaling up your brand and having better brand recognition is crucial here. As you post more videos, ALWAYS improve your pacing, thumbnails, and titles.

Twitch

We know it. We love it. Consistency is key. Start with Rule of 3s: 3 days/week, 3 hours/day, 3 social media outlets. This is a general rule for a reason, but it's a good minimum to start with because I’ve seen too many clients in deep need. If you need to start half an hour later to catch your regular audience, then do so. Starting out, you need consistent numbers, engagement, and retention. I’ll explain later, but you want to do what you can to increase production value and give more interactables for chat to use.

Advice for partners, you need to continue to carry the momentum to scale. By this point, you likely know what it is you need to do, but perhaps there’s a discrepancy with engagement or retention, or god knows what that holds your audience back. Collabs help, but not as much as you’d like. This comes with raids being a nice networking tool funnily enough. Raid people with similar content and vibe as you to continue to network with people. Switching audiences and using adjacent categories to find that audience may be what you need.

This is all hard to determine for partners so plainly on social media without analyzing data, audience, content, branding/design, and personality. There’s a lot that goes into your churn (how many folks you lose in your audience on average). Fixing that can either require optimization and turning your personality up to 11 more consistently and differently, but also can mean taking a leap into faith with a “big risk, big reward mentality”. One thing I know works would be the optimization tweaks here and there by looking at data (or not looking at all and just gathering feedback from your audience and friends and staying objective and factual), and diversification on different platforms so more can know who you are.

Try tools like Streambee to simplify the VOD review process Streamloots to increase engagement and have better monetization TITS, VRChat, and curation to invite viewers with “planned exclusivity” rather than total exclusivity (how you do this is up to you).

Discord Not really a social media site

Great for talking and engaging your community and breeding loyalty. VTubers need fewer “groups”, fewer individual servers, and more community servers where you can pool your resources and hype each other up. Effectively make use of what Stream Teams are good for and raise each other up.

Monetization

Use Kofi for tips, a shop, comms

Use Gumroad for another shop that has more discoverability

Use Patreon for memberships to slowly phase out Twitch subs. Be creative and have fun with Patreon rewards

Use Streamloots and have fun with it

There’s more I want to discuss, but for now, you can follow me on Twitter and here on Tumblr for this data-backed advice, the nitty gritty nerdy jargon for social media with data and whatnot, and my personal thoughts with my positive experiences managing and consulting folks.

If you yourself are terrified still even with all of this, I have restructured my business with Build-Your-Own Bundle type of consultations and management. Services are 50% off. 69% off after your first purchase (nice)

WTWW Air Check, 2021 November 28 @ 03:25 UTC from NW7US on Vimeo.

Reception of WTWW here in Ohio was marginal, but worse, the audio feed into the transmitter appears to be having intermittent cuts. The audio drops often, intermittently, during this short air check.

The international shortwave broadcasting station, WTWW, was broadcasting on the HF frequency of 5085 KHz, from their transmitting location which is south of my receiving station.

My station consists of an SDRPlay RSPdx radio receiver, hooked up to a 220-foot doublet antenna.

How to Survive Fashion Week (Even If You’re Not Really There)

Sorry, my dudes, but it’s going to be a short post this week. Double apologies to anyone who also follows me on IG. My phone broke a couple days ago - during NYFW, I was in hell. But I just got a new one today, so everything should go back to normal shortly! I thought about doing some sort of trend-related post (either runway or street style), but the season’s only about a quarter of the way through. It seemed a little premature.

Then, I spotted an article entitled “Vogue’s New York Fashion Week Survival Guide; Editors Share Their Tips, Tricks, and Cautionary Tales”. Vogue aren’t the only ones to write about the subject. There are similar pieces by various magazines going back at least five years. After a quick search of first page Google results, I can confidently say they’re pretty much the same. Wear comfortable shoes, take good notes, plan your outfits in advance, make sure you keep an eye on your itinerary. All good advice, of course, for those lucky enough to attend.

But what about those of us who aren’t able? Not a single article seemed to cover that. Unless I get a lucky break, I’m left to deal with my fashion week FOMO some other way. If HF Twitter has taught me anything, I’m not the only one. So how can we get our fashion fix from the comfort of our own home?

Thank heck for the internet. I can’t imagine waiting a month for the latest issue of my magazine subscription to come in. Nowadays, all you need is wifi access and you’re all set. There are a multitude of websites dedicated to posting entire collections, sometimes with added detail or backstage beauty shots. (I listed some of my favorites on my last blog post.) This is gonna be a Vogue-heavy article, but I’d like to point you towards the Vogue Runway app as well. It allows you to access every image from every runway collection Vogue has on their website. If you’re anything like me, this means you can pour over that day’s collections during your breaks at work.

Of course, new collections aren’t the only exciting fashion of the season. Street style is where various celebrities, models, stylists, and influencers get to show what those runway pieces look like in real life. They also have the freedom to choose pieces from different brands - or even different seasons. Sometimes, street style trends don’t actually follow runway trends. (Remember last go around when everyone suddenly started wearing yellow and orange?) I always love seeing if I can identify pieces from previous seasons. The street is where you can find some of the most exciting fashion of the season.

There’s plenty of news to keep up with as well, like insider drama, afterparties, and rising trends. Vogue isn’t the only website I frequent during fashion season; I also check MDC, Elle, Fashion, W Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, I-D, Garage, Dazed, and The Fashion Spot daily. (Or, well, try to.) While that may seem like too many to keep track of, there’s also a lot of overlap in articles, so it’s not actually all that time consuming. Social media is another great place to keep track of fashion week goings on. Story features on various apps allow for a more personal, insider view of the season’s events. Both Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar have SnapChat accounts, and every magazine above has at least one Instagram account. I make sure to also follow different designers/brands I like, as well as other bloggers, street style stars, models, and photographers.

Now that, however, is a lot. At least, it is for me. In my family, we use the phrase “Stendhal’d” a lot. Only recently did I discover it wasn’t a common term. It comes from Stendhal Syndrome, or Stendhalism; originally defined as an intense reaction to art. In my family, it came to mean that overstimulated, almost-headache you get after viewing far too much art in one sitting. (Say, three museums in a single sitting. Sounds great, but 11/10 would not recommend.) It’s always important to pace yourself and do everything in moderation (another of my family’s mantras) particularly where social media is concerned.

Personally, I have a semi-set schedule for when I watch different things throughout the day. I also have a TextEdit doc open at all times that I like to jot various notes in. And, frustrating as it is, I’ve had to limit myself to only looking through so many collections at a time. With spring being the season of prints, it’s pretty easy to get Stendhal’d. Taking a step back if you feel that almost-headache coming on is never a bad idea. I’ve also found that looking at collections is a good occasion to catch up on podcasts. As of this week, I’ve been binging “Wine and Crime” and loving every minute of it.

This season’s been a little rough for me, I’ll admit. Between the social media overload and general disappointment in a lot of collections so far, I was having a harder time than normal keeping up…But that’s a topic for the next post. The most disheartening thing was realizing how much it would be to attend several industry events I had been interested in. Was the fashion industry every bit as exclusionary as it seemed? Could I still stand by this blog’s mission statement? But, thankfully, the internet had my back. There are so many ways to access the most recent fashion week news without even being there. Of course, fashion still has a ways to go towards being accessible for everyone, but there has been some measure of progress so that even broke twenty-somethings like me can see runway shows as they’re happening. I dream about the day I get my first show invite. But until that happens, at least I have the internet.

World Amateur Radio Day 2019 Marks International Amateur Radio Union Founding

Thursday, April 18, is World Amateur Radio Day (WARD), this year marking the 94th anniversary of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU), founded in Paris in 1925. Each year, WARD celebrates Amateur Radio’s contribution to society. Groups in the US and around the world will celebrate WARD 2019 with on-the-air activities.

“I am pleased to extend my greetings for World Amateur Radio Day,” IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH, said. “April 18 is the day for all of Amateur Radio to celebrate and tell the world about the science we can help teach, the community service we can provide, and the fun we have. I would encourage all radio amateurs to join in the celebrations and promote Amateur Radio on the air or in your community.”

Amateur Radio experimenters were the first to discover that the shortwave spectrum was not the wasteland experts of the time considered it to be but a resource that could support worldwide propagation. In the rush to use these shorter wavelengths, Amateur Radio was “in grave danger of being pushed aside,” the IARU’s history notes. Amateur Radio pioneers met in Paris in 1925 and created the IARU to support Amateur Radio around the globe.

Two years later, at the International Radiotelegraph Conference, Amateur Radio gained allocations still recognized today — 160, 80, 40, 20, and 10 meters. More bands have followed, and the IARU has been working to defend and expand Amateur Radio frequency allocations ever since.

From the 25 countries that formed the IARU in 1925, the IARU has grown to include 160 member-societies in three regions. IARU Region 1 includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and northern Asia. Region 2 covers the Americas, and Region 3 is comprised of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific island nations, and most of Asia.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has recognized the IARU as representing the interests of Amateur Radio.

Groups are encouraged to promote their WARD activity on social media by using the hashtag #WorldAmateurRadioDay on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

On-the-Air Activities

Brazil: LABRE Roraima, PV8AA, will sponsor various activities and satellite operations with participation by Scouts, including young Venezuelan refugees.

Denmark: Operators in Denmark will be permitted to use the call signs 5P0WARDand 5P0WHD on April 18. Single operators will be assigned a special suffix extension (00 to 99) to distinguish individual stations, e.g., 5P0WARD/36 or 5P0WHD/7. Danish Contest Academy station OZ5E will be active as 5P0WARD/60. Awards will be available for contacts with stations on all modes and bands.

France: TM94WARD will mark World Amateur Radio Day, under sponsorship of the REF, France’s IARU member-society. It will be on the air on April 13 – 21.

Malaysia: 9M4CMN will be on the air from Segamat, in southern Malaysia, and 9M4CKK will be active from Tumpat, on the east coast of Malaysia, from 0230 until 1530 UTC on April 18.

Portugal: The Rede dos Emissores Portugueses (RED) will hold an open house at its headquarters on April 18, demonstrating an installation of a portable and low-power amateur station, as well as how to operate it and how to transport it.

United States: The Fair Lawn (NJ) Amateur Radio Club (FLARC) will hold an open house on April 18, from 2 PM until 9 PM EDT at the FLARC clubhouse at the Fair Lawn Recreation Center, 10-10 20th Street, in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. Club members will be available to demonstrate the stations, and to discuss the many interests of Amateur Radio operators and the role that individual hams and clubs play by providing public service communication.

Worldwide: The World Radio Network and the World Friendship Net will participate in World Amateur Radio Day 2019 using special event call sign W2W. A commemorative QSL card will be available, and a 12-hour net will be convened with net controllers from around the world. Join the commemoration at 1600 UTC via Echolink on the World Conference server (IRLP 9251) and on Allstar Node #47620 – World Conference Hub.

EDIT 05.14.2019:

I have a Patreon now! :) Meet me there if you’d like!

Also, random addition: Apparently my NFSW blog kinda survived, now I just use it to post about sex education and safety.

EDIT 06.12.2018:

Because of the upcoming Tumblr shenanigans, I would really appreciate it if you took a bit of time to check out my other social media in case something happens. I’m not planning on leaving Tumblr - in fact I just did a whole blog revamp :D - but if most of the community will head off I will slowly follow suit... Let’s make sure we have other options.

(About NSFW content: I barely ever posted any, if I did so/will do so in the future I always censor/crop it and link off-site, so that should be fine. Dunno what will happen to my nfsw sideblog tho :D ..also.. 5 minutes of silence for all the content/users about to be deleted :/)

Contact me:

The best way to contact me is to send me a note here on Tumblr! Feel free to send me an ask or message me on the messaging system! I would love to chat! ^^ 

You can also contact me by e-mail, at szucsed@gmail.com Please make sure to only e-mail me about serious enquiries, such as commission requests or job offers, as this is my “real-life” serious business email. :) Thank you!

You can find me at:

Tumblr: On my main blog is where I am most active, you can find me here pretty much every day. (Let’s hope it all won’t go horribly wrong after Dec 17th!) I also have and Art Only Blog, in case that is the only thing you’re interested in! At the moment, all I do is reblog the artwork I post on my main blog there. I have a Reference Blog, where you will find inspiring photography, tutorials, art tips, and much more that I have collected for myself over the years! I also have a NSFW blog: do NOT click if you’re under 18, and please for the love of all that is holy do not click it if we know each other in real life :D Please.

Artstation: This is where you can find my portfolio!

Patreon: I post allllll of my artwork there, also WIP shots, sketches you won’t find elsewhere, so come, check it out! ^^

Twitter: See you on the other side! I’m slowly trying to branch out and find a community over there. I post the same art, trying to make sure that if we’re forced to, I can migrate over there. I really don’t like the lack of reliable tagging system tho. ^^”

YouTube: I go to YouTube every day, but I do not actively create content like I used to. I used to edit videos, AMVs with animated films. I rarely have time for it at the moment, but I’ll never truly give up that hobby of mine! :) You cannot really reach me there because YouTube no longer has a reliable messaging system :/ But if you drop a comment on my videos I’ll read and reply and be really happy! ^^

DeviantArt: I’m not very active on DA nowadays, I still check the messages every few days and catch up on all my favorite artists there, and I upload some of my artwork when I have the time.

Instagram: If you’re interested in my life, I post photos about it there. It’s mostly just pictures of my beautiful dog :D .. sometimes pretty nature stuff too. I may upload my art there too in the future. Feel free to check it out!

I… also have FA and HF accounts. If you don’t know what those are, let’s just keep it that way! If you really want to find me there for some reason, links are on my nsfw sideblog!
