Hey, you've got sand on your head...

We found this dugite (Pseudonaja affinis) digging a hole. It was relatively relaxed about us, and casually slid away after a little while.

Throwback Thursday

Snek "Scarf"

I don't know what was going through my head when I decided to cast this on. It was a lot of fun, very mindless / endless i-cording for a solid portion of the pattern. Hardest part was certainly sewing the head insert, haha.

He turned out pretty cute, but I think the imbalance of the weighted/stuffed head against the rest of the body didn't work super well for my expectations of a scarf. He lives around my scrap vase now, keeping it safe.

Unlocking Success: Strategies for Effective Social Media Marketing”

In today’s digital age, social media marketing is a critical component of any successful marketing strategy. With billions of users active on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok, the potential for brand growth and customer engagement is immense. However, leveraging these platforms effectively requires strategic planning and execution. Here are key strategies to unlock success in social media marketing in 2024.

1. Understand Your Audience

The foundation of any successful social media strategy is a deep understanding of your target audience. Start by creating detailed buyer personas that include demographics, interests, pain points, and online behavior. Utilize social media analytics tools to gain insights into your audience’s preferences and engagement patterns. This data will help you tailor your content and messaging to resonate with your audience, increasing engagement and conversion rates.

2. Set Clear Goals and KPIs

Define what success looks like for your social media efforts by setting clear, measurable goals. Whether it’s increasing brand awareness, driving website traffic, generating leads, or boosting sales, having specific objectives will guide your strategy. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) such as engagement rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, and follower growth to track your progress and measure success.

3. Create High-Quality, Engaging Content

Content is the lifeblood of social media marketing. To capture and retain your audience’s attention, focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that provides value. Use a mix of content types, including videos, images, infographics, and articles, to keep your feed dynamic and interesting. Storytelling is a powerful tool — share behind-the-scenes glimpses, customer stories, and brand narratives to build an emotional connection with your audience.

4. Leverage Influencer Partnerships

Influencer marketing continues to be a powerful strategy in 2024. Partnering with influencers who align with your brand can amplify your reach and credibility. Choose influencers who have a genuine connection with their followers and can authentically promote your products or services. Micro-influencers, with smaller but highly engaged audiences, can be particularly effective in driving conversions.

5. Utilize Paid Advertising

While organic reach is valuable, paid advertising on social media platforms can significantly enhance your visibility and target specific demographics. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer sophisticated ad targeting options, allowing you to reach users based on their interests, behaviors, and demographics. Experiment with different ad formats, such as carousel ads, video ads, and sponsored posts, to find what works best for your brand.

6. Engage and Interact with Your Audience

Social media is not just a broadcasting tool; it’s a platform for two-way communication. Engage with your audience by responding to comments, messages, and mentions promptly. Encourage conversations by asking questions, running polls, and hosting live sessions. Building a community around your brand fosters loyalty and encourages word-of-mouth marketing.

7. Monitor and Analyze Performance

Regularly monitor your social media performance to understand what’s working and what’s not. Use analytics tools provided by social media platforms to track metrics like engagement, reach, and conversion rates. Analyze this data to identify trends and insights that can inform your future strategies. Continuous optimization based on performance data is crucial for long-term success.

8. Stay Updated with Trends and Algorithm Changes

Social media is an ever-evolving landscape. Stay updated with the latest trends, algorithm changes, and best practices to ensure your strategies remain effective. Join industry forums, follow thought leaders, and participate in webinars to keep abreast of new developments.

Conclusion: The Path to Social Media Success

Unlocking success in social media marketing in 2024 involves a blend of strategic planning, creative content, and continuous engagement. By understanding your audience, setting clear goals, creating high-quality content, leveraging influencer partnerships, utilizing paid ads, engaging with your audience, and regularly analyzing performance, you can harness the full potential of social media to drive brand growth and achieve your marketing objectives.

Scar | Billy Hargrove x Reader

Notes: Some Billy fluff. I hope you enjoy! 🤍

Words: 836

Warnings: None

"What's wrong?", you mumbled half-asleep as you saw Billy pacing up-and-down the room. He tries to shush his pain-fillen groans in order to not wake you up, but it was unsuccessful. From a look on the dugital clock on your nightstand, you could tell it was 2 in the morning. "Backpain.", he mumbled while stretching his arms in the air. His doctor gave him some instructions on how he could ease the pain, but it barely helped. On the other hand, he didn't want to take too many pills against the pain, since he didn't want to end up addicted to them.

"You don't have to act tough, Billy.", you said while getting up from your shared bed. "No, (Y/N), go back to bed. I'll be fine." Against his best wishes, you got up and walked over to him. "Through sickness and health, we said." This was always your argument when his back killed him.

The incident at Starcourt Mall was ten years ago. You two met when he was recovering at the hospital; he had to get his spine reconstructed, you were in treatment for a broken femur. Meeting him was all by faith when you two were grabbing the same candy bar in the giftshop. Billy let you have it under the condition that you'd go out with him.

After many dates at the hospital, you two became a couple and got married 3 years later. While your femur healed with no issues, Billy was still struggling with fibrosis. It was one of the reasons why you two decided not to have any kids.

"You know you have to take your medication if it hurts too much.", you told him. But he just shook his head and groaned again. "I don't wanna.", your husband mumbled. With a sigh, you lifted his shirt and took a close look at the scar tissue. "It's inflamed, honey.", you mumbled. "Go on, lay down. I got it." But he was pretty reluctant.

Billy felt bad about needing help from you. He should be the one to take care of you, protect you, hold you at night. Instead, he spend his nights awake in pain and bothering you, keeping you from getting a good nights rest. What kind of husband does that.

"Billy.", you cupped his face between your hands. "Billy, what happened to you is not your fault. Let me help you." Eventually, you got him to lay on the bed, although reluctantly. "I know you don't like this. But I wanna help you." Since his scar flared up so many times, you kept a bottle of lotion in the nightstand drawer. It was one of the few things that made him fall back to sleep when he was in pain.

"You married a useless man.", he mumbled while you were already massaging the inflamed area. "No I didn't, I married the man I love."

"You're up at night to take care of someone who can't even protect you. I can't even give you pleasure most days." His voice was filled with frustration and anger, although the anger was more directed against himself. You kept massaging his scar while listening. "Why would you even stay with someone like me? I was supposed to be better by now."

"Honey, I'm not with you for being protected or having sex. I'm with you because of you. Because you make me laugh, you make me happy, and because you love me." You explained. Billy underneath you was starting to get drowsy, and only mumbled in a sleepy tone after that.

"I wanna be the husband you deserve.", he said. But you dismissed his words with ease. "You are the husband I deserve. Because you love me." A small grumble escaped his throat. "Remember how you took me to The Getty because I mentioned it once? Or how you always pay for my nails?" A small smile played on his lips. Your face was adorable when he told you he'd take you to The Getty.

"That's how you show me you love me. And this is how I show you." Your fingers hit just the right spots for him to fall back into a slumber. It was honestly amazing how you knew just how to hit the right spots.

Like every time when this happened, you leaned foward to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Good night, Billy.", you whispered in his ear. Just like that, he was snorring underneath you.

He'd never know how you'd stay up for another hour every time and massage his scar until your fingers felt numb. You couldn't deal with seeing him in pain, especially when he was so tired already.

This is how you showed him you love him. In your wedding vows, you said "In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part." This is how you cherished him through his sickness.

It was all worth it when you could fall asleep next to him afterwards.

Day 10 in Australia

We had a fab (though exhausting) day today visiting Wadjemup/Rottnest Island!

We had to get up early, but "luckily" the jetlag worked in my favor and I was awake before my 6am alarm. Wife was feeling almost entirely better. We managed to leave the flat just past 8am to walk to the ferry. It was very hot and humid, even at that hour, so we arrived at the harbor already very sweaty.

We took the 9am ferry out to the island. Wife and her sister sat inside the ferry. However, I wanted to be outside on the ferry, even though I was too late to get an outdoor seat. So I stood up for the entire half-hour ride, enjoying the cool wind (fucken wimdy) and the ocean views and air.

When we got off the ferry, we got our bikes and helmets. To my surprise, my bike was actually a good fit; I could sit on it with good posture, and changing gears was easy. The brakes were very squeaky, but it was otherwise perfectly rideable. We spent a little while getting oriented before picking up a snack. But on our way to the bakery for the snack, we saw a few quokkas! Two adults and a youngster who kept hopping pouncily onto its mother! They were just as cute as advertised!

So at that point, I already felt the visit was a success. But actually, the whole day was great.

What's great about visiting Wadjemup is that there are no cars allowed on the island, only bicycles and buses. So cycling is actually pretty safe. We cycled a total of nearly 12km, including some rolling hills; that's the most exercise we've had since we left home. We made lots of stops, of course. We looked at views, spotted a king's skink, took various photos, and rejected a few beaches before settling on Parakeet Bay. It was gorgeous, with lovely dunes, luxurious white sand, and clear turquoise water. But I hadn't brought a swimsuit, so I just rolled up my trouser legs and waded in up to my knees. Wife and her sister did more of a swim, but I returned to my bike and backtracked a bit to the shore of a lake we had passed, where I'd seen some birds.

I had a good concentrated half hour or so of birdwatching and identified Australian shelducks, banded stilts, pied stilts, a red-capped plover, something I think was a buff-banded rail, great crested terns, and a few things I need to check the photos of to see if I can figure out what they are. Several of those birds are new to me!

Then I met up with Wife and her sister, who were done at the beach. While waiting for them, I spotted a snake near the road! We looked it up later and I believe it was a dugite, which is of course (since this is Australia) very venomous! We continued our bike ride, passing some salt lakes (including one that was pink), a colony of huge numbers of great crested terns, and a "train" (more like an old-fashioned tram) on tracks.

Back near the Settlement, we spent a little while admiring the quokkas foraging in the leaf litter next to a mini-golf course, and finally went for a late lunch and a drink before returning our bikes and getting on the 4pm ferry back to Fremantle. Again, I stood outside. It was more crowded than the morning ferry had been, but there were also more waves.

We got home and showered and were horrified to discover we had all gotten sunburned! I had failed to reapply sunscreen and had missed some spots, but luckily most of my body was clothed. Wife did pretty well but the backs of her hands were badly burned, despite her having used sunscreen. Wife's sister was splotchily sunburned in many places!

We walked a bit of a ways to a "fish pub" for dinner. The food was great, and we were seated on a patio adjacent to a playground and large grassy area with a few trees around the edges, in which I spotted several interesting birds: galahs, a red wattlebird, ravens, magpies, and I'm pretty sure a pair of rainbow lorikeets flew past.

We walked home. The little kitty from yesterday was out front and Wife petted it, but then it followed us to our door! shit! It has a collar and a bell, so I assume it has a home. I felt terrible closing the door to prevent it from coming in!

When Israel decolonizes Gaza, what is the proper name? Like how West Bank’s decolonized name is Judea and Samaria. If there’s no decolonized name, I saw Bibas Beach suggested which I love

Aza.

We will, beezrat Hashem, rebuild gush katif, so there'll be settlements like Neve Dkalim, Gan Or, Dugit and so forth. Beezrat Hashem.

Bibas Beach is super cute. I wish we could build enough settlements to honour the names of each murdered. "Or Ariel" (light of Ariel) and "Neve kfir" (valley of Kfir) sound stunning
