“I don’t know why the op said this happened yesterday when this news is four months old”

This may shock you but it’s an election year in the US and even “the lesser evil” utilizes propaganda.

An open and honest discussion about why content is made, why it is seen, and when/where credit should be given needs to happen and needs to be held to standard

[human-space-heater]

So earlier this year in psych, we were talking about how fears are developed usually through associations with other things. (Something like that, I tuned out ngl). But I remember this

teacher: like the fear of public speaking. Public speaking can’t hurt you.

me: *in head* tell that to JFK

I grounded myself for that

Harnessing the Power of Storytelling for Business Success in 2024

Storytelling allows you to connect with your customers at an emotional level, building the type of connections that go beyond just sharing information. In businesses, storytelling can also help you gain more trust from colleagues and stand out from the competition. This article examines how corporate storytelling can expand your reach worldwide and engage a global audience. 

Stories Build Trust and Loyalty

Stories allow you to tap into emotions and shared experiences that facts alone can’t reach. Customers who feel a connection at the center of a pitch are much more likely to offer trust in return. Any marketer worth their salt knows that trust is the key to brand loyalty. 

Companies that incorporate branded storytelling around their roots generally foster far greater customer retention rates, and authentic narratives remain the foundation of most die-hard communities.

Stories Make Messages Memorable

Have you ever wondered why so many moving speeches and lectures tell stories instead of delivering key messages directly? It’s because few things can cement ideas into another person's mind like a captivating narrative. 

The best content marketers adopt story-first approaches in their messaging while weaving in facts at every stop. Using relevant, time-sensitive stories can give you a boost in the present, but might cause challenges later if they don’t age well.

Stories Humanize Your Brand

As society has evolved, customers have become far more concerned about supporting ethical brands. Stories are an effective vehicle to highlight where the company stands on key issues, which allows them to spotlight their values and culture to a wider audience.

Today, a well-crafted brand story arc is more of an expected feature than a bonus to what is considered ‘typical’ advertising. Customers trend toward companies whose pivotal moments resonate with human interest. As a result, storytelling offers a path to humanize your brand and move away from the idea of the cold corporate entity.

In a highly unusual move, the White House has requested for it to be able to conduct arms deals with Israel in complete secrecy, without oversight from Congress or the public — in a time when the U.S. is supporting a military that experts say has been committing war crimes in Gaza and beyond. The White House made the request within a $106 billion supplemental defense funding request sent on October 20. As reported by In These Times, the White House is asking for up to $3.5 billion in military funding for Israel to be able to purchase weapons and other equipment, from sources like the U.S. military or U.S. defense contractors, without the spending having to be approved by or even disclosed to Congress.[...]

The request comes as the Biden administration has sought to crush dissent on its support of Israel, even within its own ranks. A new report by HuffPost published Thursday found that Biden officials are sidelining work within the State Department on the atrocities that Israel is committing in Gaza, seeking to seemingly cover up the issue and disallow employees from speaking up against the genocide. Citing Paul and five workers within the agency, the outlet reports that State Department staff have been told by higher ups that they are not going to be able to move the needle on the executive branch’s approach to Israel, no matter their credentials or the horrific things they report coming out of Gaza.

⟢ ┈ Thinking about meeting with your criminal lawyer higuruma and telling him your side of the story, but he keeps getting distracted by that shiny little thing behind your shirt

+ cw. f! reader, he calls you a chick, reader wears a skirt, nipple + clit piercing, lawyer / client, semi-public setting, MDNI

Hiromi leans back, trying to get comfy in his executive leather chair, mindlessly clicking his ballpoint pen as he listens to you ramble on and on about your little case. Whatever it is you're saying, he's certain you're innocent. But as much as he wants to force himself to care, he has since abandoned all hope of understanding your predicament. Because right now, his eyes keep darting back and forth between your helpless puppy dog eyes and that shiny little twinkling bump behind your shirt.

"Are you listening?"

"Mhm, mhm." He scratches his throat, shifting in his seat, balling his hand in a fist to hide and hopefully suppress the little big strain in his pants. "Sorry, go on."

It doesn't help that the golden hour rays point to your plain white button-down. Sure, everyone is strictly encouraged to go by a dress code. But to wear something so thin at a criminal law firm and forego a bra? This chick is nuts. But so fucking ho—

"My eyes are up here, you know."

Uh-oh. He sheepishly scratches the back of his head. It's no use denying it at this point. "Guilty."

"If my clothes keep distracting you," You speak low, slowly work your buttons down, earning a gulp from Hiromi whose breaths have grown ragged and eyes are deadlocked on your slightly exposed chest, "maybe I should just take it off—"

Hiromi hears the doorknob to his office rattle and quickly gets on his feet. "Higuruma-san. Here's that paperwork you asked for—" the door bolts open, "oh, my bad." Hiromi has turned your swivel chair around just in time, one hand behind you forcing you to lower your head, and the other- well- is hidden from view.

"There, there. Everything's going to be alright." Hiromi appears to be comforting you, patting your back before mouthing 'shh, I'm busy here!' to his colleague.

Hiromi watches as his unsuspecting colleague leaves his office, one hand still soothing your back, and the other... fiddling with the silver metal between his thumb and index finger.

"Sorry about that. Looks like my hand slipped."

"Mmm," you hum, corners of your lips upturned. "Think it could slip lower?" You pull on his tie to make him crouch to your level, legs spreading wide open, allowing him to part your panties to the side.

"Fuck me," Hiromi groans against your forehead upon feeling another piece of metal where he hoped there would be.

Needless to say, Hiromi's earned a pro-bono client that day.
