☩ ℑ𝔫𝔫𝔬𝔠𝔢𝔫𝔠𝔢 𝔦𝔰 𝔅𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔰 ☩

☩Kink (10) : Age-gap. ☩Pairing: Toji Fushiguro / Female Reader ☩Word Count: 1,951 ☩Content Warning: Barely legal, massive age-gap (reader recently turned 18. Toji hinted towards late 30s-early 40s), turning of legal age, dirty talk, mentions of suggestive sexting, hooking up, building experience inside the bedroom, hints of a no-string relationship, mentions of teachings, Toji simply wants to 'corrupt' your purity even more. ☩Author's Note: This kink can skirt around the contents that may be disturbing. You have been warned. Minors, kink shamers, and ageless blogs do not interact. I was originally supposed to post this yesterday, but my period cramps had me in a choke hold. If you're curious enough to read, then likes and reblogs are much appreciated. Also, I will post an updated master list post tomorrow since tumblr decided to hide my posts regarding kinktober on my blog. Funny since they're others roaming around this site with nudes.

The feeling of the premature cool breeze grazed gently across the tall yet beautifully builded back of a man who was quite certain that he was under prepared. As to why he was waiting in the breeze questioning his life choices, Toji Fushiguro couldn’t pass on an opportunity that was going to be placed in front of him sooner than not.

Sunset was pulling its curtain across the city skyline as he waited patiently in the cold, with the slight occurrence of becoming one second of timidness. The street lights continuously flicker along with the crowd passing along the grit filled sidewalks. Toji’s head, that was occupied with the numerous profiles of women with ‘copy-catted’ personalities, now gain attention to the passing masses. People that had plans to attend, memories to create, and all other things that Toji could mention off the head. It wasn’t as if he was a people-watcher, but he wanted something to get his mind off from things. 

It was one of those things where he continuously questions his moral rights and wrongs. He could be better than any man yet, he steers across things that have no genuine value. As the activity of people watching began to bore the mind of an anxious wait, Toji quickly fumbled across the screen of his phone, tapping and swiping through every profile that garnered the attention of the personal male gaze. Endless body dresses that hugged tightly across well graved curves, smiles that brighten the room of a nightclub, and to even the pestering pets that seemed to be across every photo, Toji’s endless swipes of a potential could gain him more satisfaction than seeing it in person. 

The eyes cater to the imagination, after all.

Besides the careless decisions of choosing which profile to like or dislike on, Toji had already picked out someone to meet up in person. It was not wrong, per se, to just slowly kill time by waiting for someone. Someone that piqued his interest while being on the so-called “god-forsaken” dating app. A person who actually had some personality of sorts, and didn’t follow any ridiculous social trends that were making its way across users in the social media age. 

That person was you.

It all started with a conversation about the concepts of luck. Some are born with it, others have to try their damndest to reach the pinnacles of it. A snarky comment was made on one of your dating prompts that was listed on your profile. You answered a question about “What was your luckiest night?” and you stated you won three gambling scratch-offs in one week (but you didn’t mention how all three scratch-offs were given to you on your birthday). Now, Toji and you were providing counterproductive arguments on skills, talents, and other unnecessary topics that grew away from the main topic at hand. As the topic became more intense, so did Toji’s findings of word choice.

Toji flipped over to the ‘messages’ section of the app and saw the conversations that he had with you, prompting the whole meetup. Prude, yet exhilarating as Toji was a man of pure excitement. The rush of overtly sexual heeds grew to be more enticing with every message being sent. 

“ If you want to test your luck, try it with me.” “Really? So corny, yet, I like it.” “You’re gonna like more when I’m pinning you down in that mattress.” “Oh my god.” “With clothes off that is” “So, are we just gonna be fucking on screen or meet in person?” “Coffee shop nearby the pier tonight.” “I’ll be there...”

Toji felt himself getting uncomfortable underneath his beltline. The stiffness slightly grew by each sigh, reminding himself of his behavior in public. Toji could feel like many women might find this off-putting. This could be the start of something. Anything. As a man pushing towards the doors of middle-age, chasing women who didn’t satisfy his needs became tiresome. What happened to a woman who wasn’t scared to become enticed by different things, to be put in her place, anything to be dominated by a man’s hands? Toji’s mind raced with every description as he looked up to the sky, clouds murked in gray while a faint, yet , gentle voice eloped his hearing. The faint question of a hello soon to get his attention as he looked over, eyes slowly widening with delight with a small smile on his face, wordlessly greeting the person standing in front. 

“Hello. Are you, Toji?” 

The woman that was standing in front of him made Toji want to ditch the formal etiquettes of greetings and engage in being the feral man that he is. The dark-colored dress didn’t do justice to man's imagination as he wondered what could be underneath that curvaceous frame. The ampleness of the breast weighed at the top, and the hair that was well kept even with the cool breeze that was circling around. A striking woman at that, Toji was lost for words until you greeted yourself again, this time with more of light humor.

“Yes.” He gulped. 

You couldn’t help but to smile at his sheepish nature. 

The continuous awe became more prevalent until you decided to cut the awkward-like air.

“My body can't be that amazing, can't it?” You suggestively curt your words with a smirk before sitting down on the bench Toji once previously sat on. Toji’s trance was soon broken as the humorous banter created an alleviating conversation. A scoff was made as Toji sat down next beside you. The infectious smile crept into a suggestive smirk of his own. 

“Body nice enough to make a man silent, that’s for sure.” Toji stated. The side of her hips was touching the fabric of his pants, along with the sweetly made body perfume that dances across his nostrils, the man’s gaze soon to be all over your body. Not that staring wasn’t any bad, but being beside you, the impure thoughts that Toji could dream of with any woman proved to be more strong.

 The phone that was placed snug in his pockets soon was taken out of his hands. As he glanced over your profile briefly, he looked over at the pictures before taking another well-studied glance at you. As he quietly studied the profile that was in his hands, a profile that reflected well on personality and mannerism, Toji decided it was best to engage with the bantering atmosphere. 

“Can’t believe that you’re young and have a body like this,” Toji compliments, noticing the age listed on your profile.

“Well…” Stammering your words, finding to complete your sentence grew to be hard as you looked down at the concrete before a sense of heat formed across your cheeks. Toji studied you with confusion before you blurted out something of personal social regret. 

“I just turned eighteen two weeks ago.” The redness grew to be more irritating as you looked at him with an awkward glance of regret. Embarrassing at best, you wished you could force your body to crawl into the fetal position, sulking at your social skills. The dooming head of shame became more strong as Toji stiffened his laughter. 

Dumbass.

“Forget you heard that.” You quietly grumbled, your head now downcasted to the dark concrete floor that made itself a platform of your designer heels. You wanted to curse yourself for saying such idiotic things in front of a man, yet for some reason, the air that surrounds you two grew to be quite forgiving. 

“Really? Barely legal.” Toji jokes before stiffening out another laugh. The continuous bantering that came from the older man grew to be tiring as you looked away towards him with a displeased expression. Toji looked over towards you and his face softened once the realization of the jokes became tasteless for the evening mood. “Forgive the jokes.” He apologized, placing his phone away in his pocket again before he rose from slumping on the bench. A posture that many men do not present when facing potential in a relationship. 

“You are forgiven, old man.” You joked, a genuine smile forms across the corners of your mouth. 

“Says the person who had ‘shitty’ sexual encounters.” Toji quotes you before smirking.

Seeing the eyebrows raised from the man next to you, you tutted quietly before tucking a strand of hair behind your ears. Toji’s expressions grew to be priceless as the gentle banterings ascended to deeper, yet sensual, conversing. 

Two eyes crossing one another, body warmth shared with being close under the chilled night sky. The scene had become more intense with the hints of hooking up. No strings attached. It wasn’t as you wanted casualness, you simply wanted someone experienced. Gone were the days of ‘shitty sexual encounters’ of sneaking off into your room or car, going down on some pubescent, raging teenager who couldn’t hold an orgasm for one minute (you gave those guys the catchphrase ‘one-minute-men’). Now, you stood against someone that had more experience than any other man you have been with. 

And, Toji was the perfect example of a well-experienced man.

Speaking of experiences, your mind randomly crossed over a conversation that you had with him in regard. Hearing his endless teasing and boasting about how women fawn over a man that has such ‘heavenly’ fingers is anything but ridiculous. Staring aimlessly at his sculpted thighs that hugged his black jeans ever so snuggly, your mind instantly plays the messages that were received and back.

“You might gain more experience with me, baby.” “Really now? How?” “Got to break that body somehow.” “Uh-huh.” “I can show you how to squirt. Suck a nice cock while getting played with a toy.” “There’s Pornhub for that, love.” “Yes, but how about it in real life?”

The mindless conversation of battling horniness soon waned as you now saw Toji looking over at you, his hands sneaking over to the waist that rested on the back of his arms. A gentle smile greets itself again before he whispers something in your ear. 

Toji simply wants to break you.

“Still want me to erase those ‘shitty encounters’ that you had? Fuck you so deep that you have a craving for older dick?”

The gruff voice that became smothered with honey and sin made you want to form a puddle between your legs. The bassness made every strand of your hair stand at the back of your neck as you looked at him with doe-like eyes, pondering about what move he will make next. With such grit, the filterless choice of words became more enticing that came from Toji’s smooth lips.

 The light in his eyes flickered as he looked over at you with eyes slightly narrowed. Eyes that showed his nature of being a fiend for everything that has such a semi-pure physique facing in front. Disgusting, many might seem to find, yet for Toji, it was something he couldn’t escape from, especially a woman like yourself, showing off every hint of piqued curiosity and pureness.

Hearing that sentence filled with gruffness in his tone of voice, you gulped quietly before answering his question, narrow eyes not leaving the blessed assets of your beauty. 

“And what if I don’t hold those strong cravings?” You lightly tease. 

Adding fuel to the fire only amplified Toji’s yearning for you as he got closer to your face before placing a chasteful kiss on your redden cheeks that now became heated with lust. 

“Then, I’ll just keep fucking you until you have them. Every day, every night.”

And with that, the two of you left your seats from the bench to grab the last batch of strong, roasted coffee within thirty minutes of closing time.

Can the hate just stop!

Hi! First and foremost, I’d like to thank all of you guys who are active inter-actors on my blog! All of your likes, reblogs, comments and posts have truly made my whole year already and I enjoy posting things for all of us to enjoy and interpret.

I just wanted to tell all the lurkers around here to stop the hate comments. Why are you hating on me and overreacting about readings that don’t affect you at all.

I have had NUMEROUS hate/trolls since I began this blog and NUMEROUS suing threats sent to me. And I will say that it affects me a lot because all I’m doing are readings for entertainment and to get insight on information we’ll probably never have or get the chance to witness on our social media.

Yesterday, I made a post about the drama Zico was involved in and just for clarification on the situation and to see the outcome. That is literally all I did, then comes this person bombarding my comments.

Then reblogging my post with this…

Firstly, this person took the time to actually read the post… if you read the post why are you still mad at me because the last part of the reading literally says that Zico will be okay again once something else is being brought up to the public? I never said he’s going to be arrested or just anything more terrible happen to him in this situation… he will be okay, so why are you fighting me in my comments?

Secondly, I personally felt completely disrespected and disgusted when this person said “no offense” when she knew DAMN well that what she’d say is hella offensive because why call the work I put in horseshit, just because I’m finding clarity on this situation?

Why am I the wrong one for wanting more clarification on a situation that had been debunked but suddenly was brought up all over again…. Like… I’m honestly just doing a simple reading! This is what i always do with trending topics in the K-Industry… hence why I have CARDBOARDHEARTSS NEWSS… I did not do any of this to be malicious. Like why would I do that?

I deleted this persons comment but she came at me saying I’m disrespecting Go Hara and her family just because I did a reading on Zico. My blog is not a place where I would disrespect people who have passed on or just people in general.

My issue with this person is how they’re saying that I’m spreading misinformation while the interactions on this post are like this…

Can you all notice the difference on the interactions with my posts about Zico compared to Min Hee Jin. If you look at them, which one do you think is being more spread and actually spoken about highly and is an active trending topic on social media overall?

Once again, this person came at me making it seem as if I was hating on Zico and framing him to be a bad person but these were my posts about this situation… that time these card meaning literally prove that he was not hands on with this situation… like how am I in the wrong for bringing that up?

so now it’s also a crime to say maybe/could! like what…

Once again, this person came at me and told me that I should only stick to “love and career readings” because those ones seem more normal and avoid dealing with huge criminal cases like this… mind you this was the first case I’ve ever done about this unless we briefly bring up the MHJ vs HYBE issue and even with that I barely got people moaning and whining in my comments too.

I told the person that they have NO right to come tell me what to do with MY blog because… I mean it’s literally MINE. She does not have the right to come and tell me to post what not and this and that because it makes her feel more comfortable. Mind you, she does not even follow my blog and interact with my posts either so.. like what point are you trying to prove?

Why would I use Hara’s death for CLOUT? I DID NOT CREATE THIS BLOG FOR WANTING CLOUT, IN FACT I MAKE SURE I KEEP MY PROFILE LOW BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO ENCOUNTER MORE TROLLS LIKE YOU ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA… I AM NOT CRAVING FOR RECOGNITION, TRUST, I AM NOT DESPERATE FOR ANY OF THAT!

I never use tarot to contact the dead or even disturb them with any issue at all, nor do I even do a personality reading because they deserve to rest not be used for clout.

My Zico post did not have high or new interactions nor did even involve Hara or her family I only channeled the energies of the perpetrators involved along with Zico because he was the person I was reading for…

and all of those likes are from people who regularly/frequently like and reblog my posts… I did not gain not even ONE single follower from that post about Zico.

I told this person in my now deleted comments that I personally do not find her response as respectful at all. Calling my reading horseshit then saying the account i studied tarot for and the account I make sure is a safe space for everyone a JOKE?! I will NOT take any of those words as proper constructive criticisms… it is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful for me and my guides who work to make this account what it is.

If I was not confident in my readings… trust, I know myself and how much I overthink about things I’m not really confident in and if that was the case, I would not have had over 400+ posts, a full master list on my page and paid readings too…

What’s crazy is how, you’re making it seem as if my blog yesterday was spreading malicious hate about Zico when there is only 2-3 posts about him that aren’t even close to being malicious but just answering genuine asks about him and the situation, so my advice to YOU is to scroll by posts that offend you because if ONLY YOU had been more respectful in your response/ “criticism” and other comments, this situation wouldn’t have been taken too far but oh well…🤷🏽‍♀️

anywho! later everyone!🤗

as I close this off, I’d like to thank you all once again for making this blog what it is! I truly truly trulyyyy appreciate every single one of you all and thank you for making this blog a safe space for yourselves and celebrities.📦🤎

The Research Begins

So essentially, I have three ideas. Two of them exist in a similar sphere and have some relation to each other, while the third is completely different and arguably more limited on the conceptual level. But I think they're all worth exploring anyway, so let's get into it. 1. Event Planning. This is the outlier of these topics, and the one with the most solid Form potential from the jump. I'm involved in Castle Point Anime Convention, and that sort of event planning is one of my favorite activities. The logistics of putting such an event together are fun to consider, and there's always something new to consider or focus on. The type of venue, the types of vendors or guests, the types of attendees we'll be catering to and what kind of activities they'll want, how to get around things like distance limitations, food options, space limitations and how to get around those, security and medical information, the list truly goes on (https://www.socialtables.com/blog/event-planning/how-to-get-logistics-right/). Then there are other considerations such as how to comfort paying customers when they worry things may not be going to plan-- good PR and polite lying are crucial for event planning. In general, there are a lot of interesting things to consider with this topic, but not many unique directions to take it.

2. Makeup. Why do different makeup looks look different? Why do different countries have such different ones? Why are certain makeup looks considered more socially acceptable than others when the only difference is color or sparkle? Why is it only acceptable for some people to wear makeup? And when people that aren't them wear it, who decides what styles are acceptable? Why is that where the line is drawn? There are so many questions and not that many answers when it comes to this topic. I'm particularly interested in the differences between different makeup styles across different countries and cultures. As an example, Japanese eye makeup (https://www.tumblr.com/asian-makeup/177452951954/japanese-eyes-makeup) vs Korean eye makeup vs Chinese eye makeup vs the typical American eye makeup look.

Makeup as a general tool for self-expression and by extension for gender nonconforming purposes is also an interesting subject, with things like drag makeup existing in its own space, and men's makeup becoming an increasingly feasible market (https://www.forbes.com/sites/dahvishira/2024/03/06/makeup-is-more-than-a-trend-for-men-its-a-rapidly-rising-market/). Graphic makeup styles and similarly artistic and over-the-top styles are super interesting to me, too. These sorts of style also play into some really interesting fashion subcultures like Gyaru, Decora, and China's Dopamine Girls.

3. Gender-neutral fashion. Fashion as expression is super interesting to me and I love looking into different subcultures and their rules, but one thing I've noticed seems to have no rules is gender-neutral fashion. I largely believe this is because in the fashion world, "gender neutral" is equal to masculine or masculine presenting. A quick Google of "gender-neutral fashion" yields dozens of pictures of tall, thin models with good proportions and no real curves or unavoidable secondary sex characteristics wearing largely masculine clothing silhouettes. The occasional masc model in a sweetheart neckline or skinny jeans pops up, or a prominent LGBT celebrity wearing a dress to an event everyone would expect a suit. Otherwise, staples like dresses, skirts (particularly anything shorter than knee-length), and even crop tops are almost entirely left out in favor of blazers, slacks, loose-fitting t-shirts and sweatshirts, baggy jeans, and oversized cardigans. Generally, a lot of the more obviously feminine or revealing clothing is seemingly relegated to femme-presenting models as well. The idea that only men's clothing is gender-neutral is fascinating to me, as someone who likes dressing both ways and exploring these things in other cultures is also really interesting. Different cultural standards lead to different ideas of gendered and gender-neutral fashion, and that's also something worth exploring further. Social expectations, the idea of gender-neutral as a concept, male as default, the fashion industry, I think it's all worth considering and researching further going forward.

Tae’s vlive

Hi everyone! I don't have the "ask me a question" activated because I don't have the time it would take to answer questions, I don't feel comfortable doing it (it's personal) and because I don't feel like reading trolls, who would surely come to my blog.

But I've seen how the questions about Tae's vlive and whether JK was there or not have been proliferating in Tumblr today, and I feel like giving my pov.

In my opinion, JK was not there, for a number of reasons, but one of the most important is that if he had been, he would have said hello (even if he is now off social media). It is not his way not to do so. He has being suddendly appearing in vlives without a problem (like Jimin's, or Yoongie's birthday one). What's more, it's not just a matter of JK, if one of the boys goes to the other's house, as Jin did for JK's birthday, he would appear by surprise and for Army's pleasure.

But beyond logic, if you watch Tae's two vlives, now with subtitles, nothing makes sense. I'll be brief.

- For a start, if his friends and JK were at his house, would Tae leave them to start a vlive in his bed? - There are no sounds of people playing (only a man singing). And if as he says "were" (not "are") why did he turn off the first vlive saying they would be heard? And if they were at the time, he kicked them out of his house to do the second vlive? hahahahaha it makes NO SENSE at all. - Most likely they were playing online... he left them playing to connect to a vlive (it's still weird 🤣)

In my opinion, the two vlives make no sense, except for the fact that Tae was bored and decided to go online - for a few minutes - and be trending topic that day.

No, I don't hate Tae. But I am adult enough to recognise certain personality traits about him, and his behavioural pattern over the last months is quite evident, especially since the leaked pics scandal.

I think anyone who reads me and is intelligent will understand what I'm saying.

Have a nice day!

[nothingmatters-everythingmatters]

I've recently been thinking about online aesthetics (basically glorified trends imo) and how I've noticed that they're mostly - not completely, but still very noticeabley - "aimed" at women. I'm thinking of "clean girls" and "pilates princesses" and "mob wives" and even as far back as the late 2010s vsco or soft girl. I'm also thinking about big/popular aesthetics without the word "girl" in them, like cottage core for example (an aesthetic I'm often described to have and do enjoy without necessarily actively trying to incorporate it into my life). Sure, no one is stopping a guy from being cottage core, but they're so obviously more aimed at women. (ex: the makeup or feminine clothing often at the centre of some of these aesthetics (although I firmly believe clothes and makeup =/= gender/sexe), the overwhelming usage of pictures of young women in mood boards, the female demographic which interacts with the aesthetic by a huge margin etc)

I don't think it's a bad thing in itself, but we all know by now how often aesthetics have become very centered around consumerism and can encourage harmful beauty standards, so it's interesting to me how coincidentally these very aesthetics often target women and have mainly women engaging with them. Maybe some food for thought?

BTW, when I talk about aesthetics being "aimed at" women, I'm mostly talking about the ones with the word "girl" in them (ex clean girl) since it's literally in the name and those ones often are especially consumerism centered and tend to get big thanks to tiktok or Instagram beauty/fashion/lifestyle influencers. I don't believe that all aesthetics, or even most of them, are carefully designed and spread by malicious corporations or something to prey on women. But nonetheless there is still an undeniable target audience I believe.

~🪼

jellyfish anon I swear you are in my brain sometimes because as someone who has fallen down the aesthetics wiki rabbit hole and the gender wiki rabbit hole I do in fact think about this and know a little too much about the fact these extensive wikis exist at all lmao

honestly, this topic could absolutely be the start of a research paper, as I'm sure that the history of tying femininity/womanhood to consumerism has actually been a complex trend that reflects the changing social position of women as a class over time. something about the "performance" present in the gender stereotype associated with being female. something about how men are allowed to exist without thinking how they look to others, how women are more scrutinized for the way they present. something how women's identities are tied to appearances first. maybe even something on how social media exacerbates this by adding yet another layer. a digital one, to the performance. actually, this reminds me of an interesting sort of topic to ruminate on, the performative nature of femininity and how that changes the way we even think about ourselves and identity, how we are almost trained to present ourselves for others before thinking about what we actually want for ourselves! I remember when I was first really thinking about the topic of aesthetics and femininity, I really wished I could find more opinion/analysis on the topic more than just "this aesthetic is weird and here's why" or "all aesthetics are fine and that's good" because it is a very branching subject with so much scholarly potential, but the avenues where I got my research was primarily video essays (unfortunately) and those were pretty simplistic in analysis. this ask is a good reminder that I should revisit the search for that kind of thing now that I'm (hopefully) better at research and finding more diverse bodies of work discussing this kind of stuff. obscure medium blogs and wordpress sites here I come! I am also definitely going to chew on this subject a bit now that I'm reminded of it. maybe write something once I feel like I have more of a concrete thesis in mind to explore? very fun stuff though.

keep these asks coming not only are they well written but they are an amazing start to some social analysis and discussion! literally I have been deprived of my usual rambly overthinking in the last week so it is nice to find myself here once again :)

Blog Post - Week 3:

How can cyberfeminism be more inclusive of different racial experiences?

By recognizing and taking into account the particular difficulties and viewpoints faced by women of color, cyberfeminism can be more inclusive for different racial experiences. Cyberfeminism can use new technology to improve agendas that address racial and gender inequality at the same time, as seen by African American women's political online organizing during the Million Woman March. Cyberfeminism can become more inclusive and representative of a variety of racial experiences by recognizing the different ways that women of color use digital platforms and taking advantage of these tools to support intersectional activism.

Why is cyberfeminism an important issue in our society?

When it comes to cyberfeminism, Daniels states, “Rather, “cyberfeminism” refers to a range of theories, debates, and practices about the relationship between gender and digital culture (Flanagan and Booth 2002, 12)”. In simpler words, it examines the relationship between gender and technology, especially when it comes to gender equality and inclusivity. Cyberfeminist practices consist of self-identified women experimenting with and engaging in various internet technologies. Online, there can be many issues with bullying and harassment, as well as finding a safe and empowering environment to share your thoughts. Almost every teenager and young adult is a part of social media, so most people are able to share their opinions online and look at trending topics. With social media being such a huge part of our society, cyberfeminism can promote a positive space to advocate for gender rights and promote equality and inclusivity.

What role does human judgment play in Eubanks' critique of automation?

In the introduction of her book "Automating Inequality," Virginia Eubanks makes a point that human judgment is necessary for evaluating and reducing the effects of automation in public services. She criticizes the excessive dependence on computer systems by emphasizing how these systems usually lack the complex knowledge that comes from making decisions by humans. According to Eubanks, automation might eliminate crucial human judgment and empathy, which can result in decisions that are less responsive to the needs of the individual and more likely to reinforce existing biases. She highlights that automated technologies cannot provide fairness, accountability, or sensitivity in the delivery of operations since human judgment is required.

What role do biases in algorithm design play in spreading inequality?

According to Virginia Eubanks' explanation in the introduction of "Automating Inequality," algorithm design biases serve to reinforce and deepen existing societal prejudices, which in return contributes to the growth of inequality. Sometimes, algorithms depend on previous information that shows establishes prejudice and discrimination. Automated systems have the potential to duplicate and worsen existing gaps by unfavorably selecting decisions that negatively impact underrepresented groups if these biases are not addressed. For instance, an algorithm trained on biased data may produce results that unfairly target or ignore specific groups, which would serve to reinforce and extend social injustices rather than to address them. Eubanks believes that these design defects may result in a feedback loop that further excludes those who are poor, resulting in sustaining an unfair cycle of distribution.

Hashtags are becoming an essential tool for engaging with communities and finding common interests in the dynamic world of Instagram. Using pertinent hashtags can increase the visibility of postings, create a sense of community, and raise knowledge of the rich fabric of Hindu mythology and spirituality for individuals honoring Hindu gods and goddesses.

For believers, these hashtags serve as more than just labels; they offer a way for them to convey their creative works, prayers, and life stories.

The Evolving Nature of Minimalism

The minimalist lifestyle has been a popular topic of discussion online, with one oft-repeated phrase catching my attention: "Minimalism is too expensive!" As I dive into minimalism-related conversations on social media, this statement seems to resonate with many people, leaving me puzzled. In my experience, while minimalism does involve personal finance and consumption habits, I have not found it to be inherently costly. So why does this sentiment persist?

I believe the answer lies in what I call "template-style minimalism." When browsing popular minimalist blogs and accounts, one can't help but notice certain common trends. To be considered a "certified" minimalist, it seems one must replace existing electronics with a sleek Apple ecosystem, paint the walls white, furnish with natural wood tones, and stock up on MUJI-esque storage solutions. Seeing these rigidly uniform minimalist aesthetics, I can't help but feel a sense of unease. Adhering to such a prescriptive template may actually lead to more unnecessary purchases, undermining the core principles of minimalism.

This templated approach to minimalism has created a perception of it being an expensive lifestyle, with barriers to entry that discourage many from trying it out. Some may feel their homes are already sufficiently decluttered and organized, but because the aesthetic doesn't match the minimalist "ideal" seen online, they lack the confidence to call themselves minimalists.

Fortunately, minimalism is a dynamic and evolving concept that adapts with the times. As society and technology progress, the definition and implementation of minimalism continue to shift. The focus is shifting from simply owning fewer physical items to streamlining activities and information in our lives. Minimalism is becoming less about rigid aesthetics and more about personal well-being and emotional health.

Furthermore, minimalism is beginning to intersect with other emerging lifestyle movements, such as environmentalism and slow living. It is also becoming more culturally diverse, with localized interpretations and practices emerging across different regions and communities.

Looking ahead, minimalism will undoubtedly continue to evolve and diversify. As a way of life that frees us from material constraints and encourages inner focus, minimalism's relevance and importance should endure. We must maintain an open and inclusive attitude to understand and embrace the multifaceted nature of this transformative approach to living.

Thought Leadership in Investing: Shaping the Future of Finance with Daniel John Mullaney

In the dynamic world of finance, where markets fluctuate and economies evolve, the role of thought leadership in investing has become increasingly crucial. Thought leaders in this field are not merely experts in financial strategies; they are visionaries who anticipate trends, challenge conventional wisdom, and shape the future landscape of investment practices.

What is Thought Leadership in Investing?

Thought leadership in investing goes beyond the traditional role of financial advisors or analysts. It encompasses individuals or entities that are recognized for their deep insights, innovative ideas, and influential perspectives on investment strategies, market behavior, and economic trends. These leaders often publish research papers, contribute to industry journals, speak at conferences, and engage actively in discussions that influence how investors perceive and approach financial decisions.

Characteristics of Thought Leaders in Investing

Visionary Thinking: Thought leaders in investing possess the ability to foresee market shifts and economic trends before they become mainstream knowledge. Their foresight allows them to craft strategies that capitalize on emerging opportunities and mitigate risks effectively.

Innovative Strategies: These leaders are known for developing innovative investment strategies that challenge conventional norms. They pioneer new approaches to portfolio management, asset allocation, and risk management, often setting benchmarks for industry best practices.

Expertise and Credibility: Thought leaders command respect and credibility within the financial community due to their deep domain knowledge, extensive experience, and track record of successful predictions and strategies.

Educational Influence: Beyond their own investments, thought leaders actively contribute to the education and development of other professionals and investors. They share their knowledge through mentorship, training programs, and educational content, thereby shaping the next generation of financial experts.

The Impact of Thought Leadership

The influence of thought leadership in investing extends beyond individual portfolios. It can shape market sentiment, influence regulatory policies, and even impact global economic trends. By advocating for transparency, ethical practices, and sustainable investing, thought leaders contribute to a more resilient and responsible financial ecosystem.

Examples of Thought Leadership Initiatives

Research Publications: Thought leaders often publish research papers and articles that provide in-depth analysis of market trends, economic indicators, and investment opportunities.

Public Speaking and Conferences: They participate as keynote speakers or panelists at industry conferences, sharing their insights on current issues and future trends in investing.

Digital Engagement: Through blogs, podcasts, and social media platforms, thought leaders engage with a broader audience, fostering discussions and disseminating their perspectives on relevant topics.

Challenges and Opportunities

While thought leadership in investing offers significant opportunities to influence and innovate, it also presents challenges. Staying ahead of rapidly evolving markets requires continuous learning and adaptation. Moreover, maintaining credibility in an era of information overload demands rigorous research, ethical conduct, and transparent communication.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, thought leadership in investing is not merely about predicting market movements; it is about shaping the future of finance through visionary thinking, innovative strategies, and ethical leadership. By challenging conventional wisdom and advocating for responsible investing practices, thought leaders play a pivotal role in driving positive change and fostering a sustainable financial ecosystem for future generations.

As the financial landscape continues to evolve, the influence of thought leadership in investing will remain indispensable, guiding investors and institutions towards informed decisions and sustainable growth.

it’s the fact you have this platform with lots of followers and don’t use it to advocate for the right things

If you are the lil bitch fucker that keeps spamming me with "israel vs palestine" ANON messages, get off the fucking internet and get a fucking life.

Anyone with a fucking brain between their skull should know what I think about this very serious fucking topic and the fact that you make it into a little internet trend by going "hihi israel or palestine? pick one hihi" says way more about your fucking character than mine. You're fucking pathetic for sending in mutlitple asks like that just because you think it's cool to "jump onto the trend". Just because it's currently "trendy" on social media to pick sides, doesn't mean it's fucking okay to make it a thing. IT IS NOT! As if war and genocide is ever something you should make into a "lil social media trend", it's fucking disgusting how y'all are so chronically online these days that you don't even use your rotten brains for just one second to think "hey maybe I shouldn' t actually make it into a trend and go around saying hihi which side to pick to any stranger on the internet". Seriously fucking get a fucking grip on reality you bitch ass. There's actual people losing their homes and lives in Palestine right now, you assface, they're not just props in your newest "internet trend poll".

I don't "advocate" about the "right things" on this fucking blog because it's literally not that kind of blog. It's a blog where you can come to escape reality. You can fangirl/boy/enby, you can read and look at fanart, talk about bangtan and their music and you can FUCKING ESCAPE REALITY. It has never been a political/worldnews kind of blog because there are a lot better blogs out there for that. Blogs run by people who want to make it possible that people keep up to date with everything happening in the world, people who have politics as their passion and who will have a way broader vocabulary on the topic than I ever will.

Having followers no matter how many doesn't mean you automatically have to speak up about everything happening in the world just so lil bitch strangers like you can sleep better at night. I will not goddamn fucking perform my activism as if I'm a lil circus clown just to get off lil bitches like you. I'll donate as much as can, I'll try to keep up with the news as best as possible and I'll send prayers to everyone suffering and I'll do it not because I want to look better on the internet but because I actually fucking care about the people. And yes something like this is possible. You can actually care about world topics and partake in helping the innocent people in need without boasting about it on the internet. Yeah what a fucking wild take, but's it's actually fucking possible.

And now for the last fucking time so that even rotten brained bitches like you understand it, I generally don't tend to speak up about political or worldnews matters on here because this blog is a possibility for anyone who wants to escape the burdening realities for a little while.

If you would have come here actually wanting to seriously talk about this topic or asked me to give you guys options on how to help the people of Palestine, I would have fucking loved to do so. But instead you come here on anon like a lil coward bitch and try to make it into a "hihi funny internet trend hihi pick sides hihi funny". You're fucking disgusting and there is a reason why I've ignored you until now.

Now for anyone who actually wants to help and do something that will actually help the Palestines, I'll give you a list of organisations you can donate to. Make sure to see if you can donate from your country, I picked out the European sites of the organisations.

MAP

Islamic Relief

Save the Children

UN -> it will contain a list of more donation options

I am sure that there so many more organisations you can donate to, but I picked out the ones which I personally think trustworthy and to which I've also donated without any problems (please educate me if one of them is a scam and I haven't heard about it yet). Also feel free to leave more links in the comments, so there will be an array of possibilities for anyone who wants to help.

This guide will equip you with the knowledge to transform hashtags from perplexing symbols into powerful tools that drive traffic and engagement to your blog.

Best Hashtag Advantage

Hashtags are like digital signposts, guiding readers directly to your content. When you strategically use relevant hashtags, your blog posts become discoverable by a wider audience actively searching for those specific topics. Imagine a potential reader passionate about sustainable fashion. By including "#sustainable fashion" or "#eco friendly clothing" in your blog title or description, you increase the chances of your content appearing in their search results.

Hashtag Benefits:

Explosive Reach: Hashtags propel your content beyond your existing followers. They expose your blog to new readers actively searching for those specific hashtags, leading to a significant boost in website traffic.

Targeted Audience: Using niche hashtags attracts readers genuinely interested in your blog's content. This fosters a more engaged community around your blog, filled with readers who share your passions.

Engagement Spark: Hashtags can ignite conversations and interactions. When readers discover your post through a hashtag, they might leave comments, share it with their network, or even use the same hashtag on their related content.

Building Authority: Consistent use of relevant hashtags establishes you as a thought leader within your niche. When your content consistently pops up in hashtag searches, you're perceived as a reliable source of information.

Unearthing the Hashtag Holy Grail

Now that you understand the power of hashtags, let's explore how to find the perfect ones for your blog:

Hashtag Research Tools: Leverage free and paid hashtag research tools. These tools analyse trends, suggest relevant hashtags based on your chosen keywords, and even reveal the popularity of each hashtag. Some popular options include RiteTag and Keyhole.

Popular vs. Niche: The key is a strategic mix of popular and niche hashtags. Popular hashtags like "#lifestyle" or "#motivation" will garner a wider reach, while niche hashtags like "#travel hacking" or #book stagram attract a more targeted audience.

Competitor Intel: Don't be afraid to analyse the hashtags your competitors are using. This offers valuable insights into what's working within your niche and helps you identify potential hashtags you might have missed.

Pro Hashtag Hacks for Success:

Hashtag Harmony: Don't go overboard! While some platforms allow for a large number of hashtags, a sweet spot is between 10-15. A cluttered list of hashtags can look spammy and deter readers.

Relevance Reigns Supreme: Resist the urge to use generic hashtags just because they're popular. Focus on hashtags that directly connect with your content and target audience.

Case Sensitivity Matters: Pay attention to case sensitivity, as some platforms (like Twitter) differentiate between "#TravelTuesday" and "#traveltuesday." Double-check the correct capitalization for optimal reach.

Embrace Your Brand: Create a unique, branded hashtag specific to your blog. This encourages readers to use it when sharing or referencing your content, boosting brand recognition.

Hashtag Heroics Don't Stop: Track your hashtag performance! Monitor which hashtags are driving the most traffic and engagement. Continuously refine your hashtag strategy based on your data.
