The UN Common Agenda: Emergency Platform

I debated on whether I should do this article now, or leave it a bit so people can calm down from my previous post about the UN. But then I thought, ‘No, there is a pattern emerging here and people aren’t going to see the pattern if the information is drip fed over time.’ In fact, drip feeding is exactly what has been happening for the last 70-80 years, which is why patterns have been hard to…

WIP Wednesday

I'm back with more MLC excerpts!! (sorry I missed the last 2 weeks!)

In honor of it being the 1 year anniversary of my neurosurgery and of my finally being over the sinus infection from hell enough to write, here's an extra long excerpt (. . . and an extra evil cliffhanger? #sorrynotsorry. It will all work out, I promise)!

This is more from the (difanghua) MLC fic where DFS and FDB rescued LLH from the donghai beach after his shiniang tried to sacrifice herself to cure him and he shattered his own heart meridian to stop her.

For anyone who's interested in seeing how I put my analysis from the CPTSD meta into practice via fic writing, enjoy!

(To read earlier excerpts–although it’s not necessary!– you can follow these links to read part 1 (LLH), part 2 (FDB), part 3 (DFS), part 4 (DFS), or part 5 (FDB), or part 6 (LLH). Oh, and another excerpt from a WIP ask (LLH))

TW: panic attack, medical emergency, flashback (nonconsensual medical procedure)

**

He shivered as familiar icy tendrils tore through him, chilling him to the bone.

Damn it.

“Xiaohua? What’s wrong? Is–is this a trick?”

“Xiangyi, what do you need?”

He tapped the three points on his chest that had always controlled these attacks before and slid his hand down.

Nothing happened.

He tried again. A wet cough ripped itself free and black spots started to crowd in front of his eyes.

Firm hands gripped his shoulder and spun him 90 degrees. 

A large palm pressed against his back, radiating a slow, creeping warmth. Familiar callouses returned to his wrist, pushing down far harder than before.

“He needs Yangzhouman into his zhong fu,” a-Fei said, from somewhere close behind his ear. “Now!”

A shaking finger poked his lung meridian, and a sharp pain flared along his collarbone. 

“Less than that! Calm your qi if you want him to live,” a-Fei snapped. 

“Sorry,” Xiaobao murmured, his breath brushing against his face. 

Time crawled like qi through his meridians.

After a few breaths, the chokehold on his lungs began to relax, and the icicles that had replaced his bones began to thaw.

He let his shoulders fall from their perch by his ears, used some of the Yangzhouman to force the Bicha flare back to more manageable levels, and circulated some of the newly introduced Yangzhouman through what remained of his lung meridian, and through his newly reconstructed heart meridian. It did feel sturdier, didn’t it? Thicker than it used to be. As though it had been reinforced–

–his qi battering against the walls of his meridians, desperately trying to–

“Xiangyi? What is it?”

The room suddenly felt far too small. He needed more space, more air, needed this transfer to be done. Immediately. “That’s plenty. You can stop now.”

The thin stream of qi from his back cut out, but the one on his chest pulsed on. 

His skin crawled with the need to get up, this instant. “Xiaobao, I said stop. Save some for yourself.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I’ve barely given you any yet.”

Li Lianhua’s hands started to shake. “It’s more than enough.”

“Will you quit lying? I can still see the Bicha lines on your neck.”

That was it. Another second of this and he’d make a break for the door, legs willing or no. “Brat, listen to your shifu.” He flung his arm up to bat Xiaobao’s away.

“Shifu?” His wrist was grabbed before his arm could make contact. “I’m not falling for that again, you old fox. So don’t–” a hard jab to an acupoint,

“even–” a second hit, and he forgot how to breathe,

“try it!” 

***

“–Stop fighting it, Xiangyi. Listen to Shiniang. Please, let me save you!”

“I said, let me GO.” He lashed his qi against his acupoints again, with more force than any blow he’d leveled before, even at his shixiong at the end. The reinforced structures started to shake. Just one more hit, that’s all it would take, and then–

“–Fang Duobing! What did you do?” “N-nothing! I just–”

“Undo it! Now!”

“But he was about to–”

“NOW!”

Li Xiangyi blasted his qi against the obstruction with all his strength.

There was a loud crash, the sound of splintering wood.

A wet, pained gasp from somewhere far in front of him.

“Fang Duobing!” 

“I’m fine. Xiaohua, are you ok? Say something!”

Why did Xiaobao sound so pained?

Li Lianhua blinked his eyes open to a blurry haze. 

But he didn’t need clear vision to recognize Xiaobao’s silhouette–

–slammed against the cabinets–

–with red spreading around him.

“Xiaobao,” he gasped, and tried to stumble out of bed.

“A-Fei, don’t let him–”

The world tilted wildly.

A hand pressed against his chest.

“Xiangyi, don’t you fucking dare di–”

skippy update 2:

she came home yesterday and was eating the canned food we got from the vet didn't manage to eat all of it but thats alright! She ate some kibble and drank water and seemed to be doing fairly well but this morning idk anymore shes well enough to come to my bed and wake me up at the usual time which is good! but refuses to eat the canned food she liked yesterday and wont touch her kibble she will eat ham but thats high in sodium so i dont really like the idea of giving her that as a food replacement... i dont think shes drank much water? she did have the canned food so at the very least shes getting water from that but she'll need more than just that... I also don't think shes been grooming herself at all which is kinda another sign that shes not taking care of herself (ofc just cuz i havent seen it with my own eyes doesnt mean its not happening) shes currently in a better state than before in terms of energy not enough to play but enough to follow me around the house if she doesnt eat by tonight (currently morning when im writing this) it might mean taking her back to the vet which is gonna be a whole other thing...

I finally got a picture in the right light where I can show off how I know Sisu has the Touch of Velvet (TOV) gene!

So there are a few traits that give it away. The most obvious are the REALLY dark streak of especially thick, silky fur along his back and a little bit over his head. (TOV "veiling" fur has a different texture, it's a bit hard to describe but it's not quite as cottony and plush as the rest of his fur. It's smother, it's shinier, and it's more solidly black than the rest of his mottled-black-and-gray coat.)

Another trait is the black "wash" over his face, which you can't see as well here because he's facing away from the source of light, but he has the "mask" of that same darker, smoother fur on his face than Dusty has. The fur around his face doesn't stand up or poof out the same way Dusty's does.

(It's especially obvious when they've just waken up from a nap! Dusty's face fur gets very poofy when he first wakes up, and Sisu's really only poofs up around his cheeks rather than at the forehead and nose too.)

Michael Esposito Staten Island - The Impact and Future of Influencer Marketing

In today’s digital age, influencer marketing has emerged as a powerful tool for brands to connect with their target audience in authentic and meaningful ways. With social media platforms dominating online interactions, influencers wield significant influence over consumer behaviors and purchasing decisions. A recognized authority in the field, Michael Esposito Staten Island, shares 10 essential strategies for effective influencer marketing. As we delve into the impact and future of influencer marketing, it becomes evident that this dynamic landscape is continuously evolving, presenting both challenges and opportunities for brands and influencers alike.

The Impact of Influencer Marketing

The impact of influencer marketing cannot be overstated. Research shows that consumers trust recommendations from influencers almost as much as they trust recommendations from friends and family. In fact, a recent survey found that 87% of consumers have made a purchase based on an influencer’s recommendation. This highlights the immense power that influencers hold in shaping consumer perceptions and driving purchasing decisions.

Moreover, influencer marketing offers a level of authenticity and reliability that traditional advertising often lacks. By partnering with influencers who align with their brand values, companies can create genuine connections with their target audience, fostering trust and loyalty in the process. This authenticity is particularly appealing to millennial and Gen Z consumers, who value transparency and authenticity from the brands they support.

Furthermore, influencer marketing allows brands to reach highly targeted audiences with precision. With the ability to segment audiences based on demographics, interests, and behaviors, brands can ensure that their message resonates with the right people at the right time. This targeted approach not only maximizes the effectiveness of marketing campaigns but also helps brands optimize their return on investment. Michael Esposito Staten Island, shares insights into unlocking the secrets of a master of influencer marketing, emphasizing the importance of precision targeting and strategic messaging in driving successful campaigns.

The Future of Influencer Marketing

Looking ahead, the future of influencer marketing is promising yet challenging. As the industry continues to mature, brands and influencers must adapt to changing consumer preferences and technological advancements to stay relevant. Here are some key trends shaping the future of influencer marketing:

1. Micro-Influencers: While mega influencers have traditionally dominated the influencer landscape, there is a growing shift towards micro-influencers – individuals with smaller but highly engaged audiences. Micro-influencers often have niche expertise and a more intimate connection with their followers, making them valuable partners for brands looking to target specific demographics.

2. Authenticity and Transparency: As influencer marketing becomes more mainstream, consumers are becoming increasingly savvy and discerning. Authenticity and transparency will be paramount, with consumers expecting genuine recommendations and honest disclosures from influencers and brands alike.

3. Long-Term Partnerships: Rather than one-off sponsorships, brands are increasingly investing in long-term partnerships with influencers. This allows for deeper collaborations and more authentic storytelling, resulting in greater brand affinity and loyalty among consumers.

4. Emerging Platforms: While platforms like Instagram and YouTube have long been the primary channels for influencer marketing, emerging platforms such as TikTok and Clubhouse are gaining traction. Brands will need to stay agile and adapt their strategies to leverage the unique features of these platforms and reach new audiences effectively.

5. Data-Driven Strategies: With advancements in data analytics and AI, influencer marketing will become more data-driven than ever before. Brands will rely on sophisticated analytics tools to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns, identify trends, and optimize their strategies for maximum impact.

In conclusion, influencer marketing has transformed the way brands engage with consumers, offering unprecedented opportunities for connection and engagement. However, as the industry continues to evolve, brands and influencers must remain agile and adaptive to navigate the ever-changing landscape successfully. By embracing authenticity, leveraging emerging platforms, and investing in data-driven strategies, brands can harness the full potential of influencer marketing to drive growth and cultivate lasting relationships with their audience.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
