Mariquita | CS55

In which Carlos' appendectomy triggers a huge emotional chaos in you and makes you realise just how big your feelings for the Spaniard actually are

or

In which your concern for Carlos clearly shows the Spaniard that you probably feel the same way about him as he does about you

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

The last few days have been pure confusion. You could clearly feel this at Ferrari.

After Carlos' appendicitis was announced, on which he had to undergo surgery, the young Briton Olli Bearman was brought in to replace Carlos and chaos began to reign in the team.

Some things had to be changed, such as the adjustment of the seat, as well as various other things up to the well-known gift in the social media.

The hustle and bustle could be clearly felt throughout the team. But the excitement was not just for the young 18-year-old Brit, but also for the Spaniard. Because most of the time, the team's thoughts were on Carlos, who should soon have the operation behind him.

" Have you finished the Instagram post yet? " Lucy asked me as she sat down at the table opposite me.

" Uhm, what? " confused, I lifted my eyes from my mobile phone, which I kept glancing at hopefully to be the first to hear the news about Carlos' condition.

But so far there was still no news, which slowly started to make me more and more nervous.

"I wonder if you've already posted on Instagram that Carlos has come through the operation okay," Lucy continued in a gentle voice and put her hand on my arm.

It took a few seconds for her words to sink in and for me to really understand what she meant.

" W-really? " I stammered, while at the same time a huge stone fell from my heart and I began to feel the tightness in my chest, which had been there since yesterday, loosen.

" But I didn't read anything in the group. How do you know that? " I was sure I hadn't read anything, because for the last ten minutes I'd been checking the Ferrari chat on my mobile phone, hoping I hadn't missed anything.

" Fred just came up to me. He was talking to Carlos Senior. Everything went well and he's now recovering in hospital. " Lucy gave me a soft smile as her thumb gently stroked my arm.

Not only was she my best friend on the team, she was also the one who knew how close Carlos and I actually were.

When I joined the team about a year ago, Carlos was the first to welcome me with open arms and show me around.

During my first day at work, the Spaniard kept coming round to ask me how things were going.

When he invited me for a meal at the end of my first shift and listened attentively to what I had to say about my first successful day at work, a friendship developed within a few weeks.

"Thank God," I whispered quietly as a relieved smile crept onto my lips.

All your fears and worries that something could have gone wrong during the operation vanished within a few seconds.

"I'll post it straight away! " I almost shouted as I reached for my mobile phone and then opened the Ferrari Instagram account that I was partly responsible for.

One of my tasks in the team was to keep the fans up to date via Instagram and Twitter. I also had a say in the C2 Challenges on YouTube, where I always created fun content for the fans.

It wasn't long before I had chosen a photo of Carlos and typed up a short text about his condition and then posted it.

"Now I can get back to work feeling better," I mumbled as I reached for your fruit salad, which had been sitting untouched on the table in front of me, and started eating.

" I believe you. It's about time my favourite colleague was finally back at work with a smile on her face. "

Yesterday almost flew by, which was probably due to the good news that had lifted my spirits so much that I was completely back in the swing of things.

Olli had done well in the third free practice session and in qualifying, as had Charles, who would start today's race from second place.

This lifted my spirits even further, so I entered Ferrari Hospitality with a smile on my face and greeted a few of my colleagues who were already having breakfast.

"Morning sunshine," Charles greeted me with an amused smile as I stood next to him at the buffet and reached for a plate.

"Morning my favourite Monegasque," I replied brightly and then reached for a croissant.

" Do I want to know why you're shining like the non-existent sun today? " Charles asked as he reached for a bowl of muesli and then continued. " Well, actually, I know what it is..."

Charles winked and then began to waggle his eyebrow dramatically, which looked rather strange.

"Are you all right? " I asked him, while I also secured a bowl of muesli and placed it on my tray.

" I'm doing great. I'm ready for the race, but that's not the issue right now. Try not to get distracted," he almost admonished me and raised his index finger in the air in warning before continuing. "Could it be that your good mood is back thanks to Carlo's successful operation? Because since this was announced, you seem to have changed. "

" It's race day..." I tried to talk my way out of it, but I couldn't, as Charles hovered his index finger over my lips to indicate that I should be quiet.

"I'm neither stupid nor daft. I know for a fact that there's something going on between you and Carlos. It's certainly none of my business, but I can see that you're good for each other and I think that's great. Don't stop doing good for each other, okay? Okay, great! See you then! "

Before I could open my mouth to give Charles an answer, the Ferrari driver had already fled, almost running, with his tray.

Shaking my head, I looked after the Monegasques for a few seconds before I ran over to one of the free tables with my tray and began to eat my breakfast in peace.

And as I sat there eating my breakfast in comfort, my thoughts kept wandering back to Charles' words.

Were Carlos and I really on good terms? And if so, was Carlos and my behaviour really so obvious that others had probably noticed?

Once again, a tightness began to spread through my chest, so I pushed the breakfast on my tray to one side in disgust and began to sigh softly.

But before I could even begin to think about Carlos and me, Lucy appeared in front of me.

Her blonde hair lay dishevelled on her face, her cheeks shimmered red and she put her hands on her hips, out of breath.

" Lucy are you okay? " I asked cautiously and all I got in reply was a squeezed " Water. "

After I handed Lucy my water, which she drank within a few seconds and then just stood there for a few more seconds, I got nervous.

I could sense that something wasn't right and the fact that Lucy just wouldn't come out with it made me even more nervous.

" Lucy... " I almost urged as you began to shift restlessly on the chair.

" Carlos is here! " she almost shouted so loudly that one or two Ferrari employees turned to us both and looked at me in confusion.

"Sorry, I meant Carlos is here," she repeated more quietly as she dropped into the chair opposite me and rested her elbows on the table.

" What? Why is he here? He just had an operation yesterday! " I looked at the person opposite me with wide eyes as I almost jumped up.

" I have no idea! I saw a story on Instagram where he's walking through the paddock. Or should I say crawling? He can barely walk, he looks absolutely pale and like he's in pain! " she continued, making strange hand movements that I couldn't interpret at all.

" What?! " I repeated again, almost stunned, while my heart began to beat faster.

Why was he here and not resting? He couldn't be serious.

I immediately began to worry so much that I jumped up and ran off without waiting for an answer from Lucy.

" Thanks for breakfast! " she called after me, but I hardly noticed because I only had one thing on my mind. Carlos.

I kept dodging various members of other teams as I ran, keeping my eyes peeled for Carlos.

It wasn't long before I found him and a few other Ferrari employees in the pits, where he was greeted warmly with hugs and a few words.

I stayed in the background and watched Carlos from a distance. And indeed, he looked anything but well.

His posture was more hunched than upright and his face was rather pale, which occasionally even showed that he must clearly be in pain.

Why the hell wasn't he lying in bed and resting?

It took a few minutes for the Spaniard to catch sight of me. Within a few seconds, his face brightened and he literally crept over to me.

"Mariquita," he greeted me with a smile on his lips and pulled me into a warm hug shortly afterwards.

I carefully wrapped my arms around him, hoping not to cause him any more pain.

" Carlos, what are you doing here? " was the first thing I said to him.

" How about a "Oh, hello Carlos. I'm glad you're doing well and that you've come through everything okay?" " he asked as he let go of me and then leant against the wall next to me.

He seemed to find it difficult to even stand up straight. He was even still wearing his hospital bracelet. It was as if he'd literally fled from the hospital and gone straight to the track.

" Are you crazy? You had appendicitis, had to have an operation and haven't even rested for a day? You can barely walk, you look incredibly shitty and you still seem to be in pain! " I spoke in an angry voice and didn't care if anyone was listening. Because apparently I was the first person to say these words to him.

And probably the only one who was thinking straight.

"I'm fine," he tried to reassure me, but he seemed to realise himself that this wasn't the case.

" No, you're not! " I looked at him seriously for a few seconds before turning on my heel and leaving.

Carlos' warm hand grabbed my arm and caused a slight electric shock to run through my body.

"I'm sorry, Mariquita. Let's talk in peace," his voice sounded soft and calm.

He carefully led me into a kind of storeroom that I had never been in before.

A few things were stored here, such as drinks and spare items for the mechanics, like a sofa that stood in the middle of the room.

Carlos slowly lowered himself onto the sofa, grimacing slightly, and then carefully pulled me next to him.

The sofa was so narrow that we sat there more or less pressed against each other and the touch of our knees and arms made my heart start beating faster again and I became slightly restless.

" You have every right to be angry with me and to worry. That's really sweet of you, but it was entirely my decision to come here. In hospital, the ceiling would have literally fallen on my head and I wanted everyone to know that I was okay."

"But you should take it easy, Carlos..." I almost mumbled and looked at the Spaniard, whose eyes were on me.

"I will, I promise," he assured me as he came a little closer to me and I felt his breath on my cheek.

Shortly afterwards, I felt his warm lips lightly on my cheek, which made the area start to tingle warmly and the heat shot up my cheek.

" I've heard from some people how worried you were about me. That was really incredibly sweet of you, Mariquita," Carlos began and gently stroked a strand of my hair behind my ear before continuing.

"We both know that there's more between us. And that's why I want to ask you if you'd like to go on a date with me? " His brown eyes rested calmly on me while a soft smile formed on his lips.

His words caused chaos to awaken in my stomach, as all the butterflies that had just been lying there quietly for a long time began to awaken and turn my feelings completely upside down.

" Yes, but only if you take it easy. Otherwise you can forget the date," I replied with a partly serious and partly worried look.

It was important to me that Carlos recovered fully from the operation and regained his strength so that he would soon be fit again and able to get back into the car.

"I promise, Mariquita."

The Algorithm is AI Art

Last year, I used DALL-E to create a series of images for a digital tarot card deck I was making for my personal use. When I shared some of those images here on my blog, I got a massive amount of push back and even threats in my inbox. I'm still putting my thoughts together on that experience but it did make me realize that most people don't seem to realize they're supporting the AI art they hate so much - to the tune of millions and even billions of dollars per year depending on the platform - almost everyday through the algorithms they use.

So if you genuinely hate AI art, I'm here to tell you that you've got to do what you can to get rid of and not use the algorithms in your life. That kind of support is more materially complicit with AI's intrusion on art than someone making a few images for themself ever could be.

Yes It's Possible

For many platforms, especially when they're accessed on desktop, it is possible to greatly reduce your contact with the algorithm. I use browser extensions to cut out the AI curated feeds on YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit. I mostly use Instagram on desktop to answer messages.

I generally do not use Instagram, Facebook, and other apps that do not allow users to control their feed on mobile. I know Instagram is mobile only - when I use it on mobile, I download it, upload what I want, then delete the app again.

I am considering cutting these out entirely again once this phase of my experiment for a zine I'm writing is over because honestly, they're not worth it, but that's a different post...

I also really recommend either making a separate email account or getting ruthlessly organized in your current one, so that you can sign up for artist's newsletters and other forms of human centered curation. RSS readers like Feedly can also be a good alternative.

The point here isn't perfection - the point is doing what you can. Not because it will change companies - but because it's better for you and the artists you care about.

Why?

Algorithms in these spaces determine who's work gets shown and more importantly - who gets paid enough to continue making their art.

AI has consistently been shown to reproduce and even exaggerate biases already present in society. This video by Ann Reardon of How to Cook That talks about YouTube's lack of transparency about the potential for a sexist bias in YouTube's algorithm and shows that in the top views at least, there's a clear slant toward male creators. The only woman in the top 10 does not show her face in her videos - unlike most of the men in the top 10. This discrepancy is even larger the further down the list you go.

Who gets shown is who gets paid enough to keep making their content/art. Less pay means people can afford to put out less content/art and can't scale - meaning less diversity in content/art.

What art gets shown influences what inspires new art and content to be made. You are seeing art directly shaped by AI everyday - and more than that - by continuing to click on what it serves up to you, you support it.

This AI influence on real world art has become so normalized that people consider it as natural a force of nature as wind. It's not. This was designed - and it can be redesigned.

I want to be careful not to overstate the influence of a click either - your clicking on something you choose is not a form of activism. Your clicks cannot retrain the algorithm at scale. A lot of people have the misconception that you can train "your" algorithm but what the algorithm on your feeds is doing is actually comparing your clicks to it's database of similar user profiles and their behaviors to decide what to suggest to you. Your clicks don't retrain the AI as a whole, they just match you with a different user type.

The real reason I think those concerned about AI in art need to find ways to take control of their feeds is because it ensures you're able to support a diverse array of creators through your views and it ensures that what you're taking your inspiration from isn't what the AI decides is worthy of attention.

I realize there are those who are reading this who either might not have been old enough to remember or even weren't born when YouTube basically took your Subscriptions off the front page. It used to be they would pop up at the top of the front page. Then it got knocked down on the front page. When it got shoved into it's own sidebar link and then that link progressively minimized through redesigns - there was actually an outcry about it.

People warned that this would lead to a watering down effect, where smaller channels didn't get the chance to grow like already established ones would. Creators of marginalized identities saw their views drop dramatically. Similar things happened when Facebook and Instagram fully took away a user's ability to have a chronological feed (this was possible in the early days). I know of more than a few creators who fully had to step away from their work because of the change over. I miss their art.

And then the outcry petered out. The companies didn't lose users over it so nothing changed. Eventually people got used to it and the protests went away. These companies now know they're "too big to fail" and can ignore user outcry until people acclimate the new normal that serves them. This normal serves them because it does actually increase engagement and keeps you on the platform for longer - which means less time spent on your own creative activities, yet another way they impact what art gets made.

TL;DR: if you hate AI's impact on artists and their employment opportunities, take control of your feeds. Make your own. Choose what you click. Take back your time and make more art.

If you go to https://instagram.com/netherworldpost -- and you're logged into Instagram -- you'll see my page.

If you are not, you'll see the above.

I have no way of fixing this.

I have no way of contacting Instagram or Facebook.

Because I have a tiny account, I cannot find a way to contact them.

I have not received a notice of violation.

I have not violated anything.

I know this because I can still post via mobile. I can see the account, when logged in. There aren't any warnings.

The Facebook page is working fine.

My options are basically "abandoned Instagram for business" or "create a new account." Fortunately the shop hasn't launched so it kinda doesn't matter.

You know how I get a bit intense about "social media marketing is not a viable solo path forward for marketing small business"?

This is why.

Something happened somewhere and I can't fix it.

netherworldpost.com has the email sign up.

This I can control because the system that handles it (Shopify) has a customer service line I can contact.

I'm using Shopify now until I decide on an email provider, who will similarly have customer service I can contact.

The first product I launch is going to be a $1 physically mailed newsletter that says "Hey this is what's going on. Your $1 helps keep us in business."

One of my first blog posts is going to be "this is how I built the $1 physically mailed newsletter and why I think you should build one for your shop and/or subscribe to others."

netherworldpost.com has the email sign up one last time

as a side note if anyone knows how to fix ths I would love details, thank you

Hello hello everyone! November is just around the corner, which means we're also so close to the start of Novaember! For those who weren't around last year or would like a refresher, Novaember is a month long Novae-centered creative event. We (the admins of the Novae Galaxy discord server) have put together a bingo card filled with prompts, and the idea is to create a bunch of awesome Novae fan content and have fun in the community!

Continue reading to see our Rules, Guide, & the 2023 Card

BINGO RULES:

These prompts are not limited to fanart! If you would like to explore and share other means of expression - like music, fanfic, poetry, cosplay, collage, quilting, etc - please do so!

Do not feel restricted to romantic relationships! If you would like to explore platonic, queerplatonic, familial, etc. relationships, please do so.

Please keep your works SFW if you would like us to reblog/retweet/highlight your works, and adhere to the guidelines of the site/community you are posting to - be it the Novae Galaxy Discord, Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram (links available in the sidebar)

Please use the tags #novaember #novaemberbingo and/or #novaember2023 and tag our account @novaemberbingo if you would like to see your works shared (if not, just let us know!)

We want everyone to have fun with these! The goal is to bring the community together and create more fanworks. Don’t be afraid to make friends and spread the love for Novae!

If you have any questions or would like clarification on anything, shoot us a message and we’ll get back with you as soon as we can!

HOW TO:

READ THE CARD

In the same way we read the ‘column + number’ on a BINGO card (B2, B4, I29, etc.), each column title is paired with a box in its same column.

On Novaember cards, each column is labeled with a category, and each box represents a prompt, so together they are read as ‘category + prompt’.

For example, the first box in the first column on the default card is read as ‘Event: Catacombs’.

How you interpret each pairing of category + prompt is completely up to you, and if you get stuck, you can always choose a different pair.

I'm beginning to think that Jungkook isn't running that In the Seom account anymore. At first I was like aw he's having fun, and woah he accepted a jikook shipper- that's sus, etc. I was just happy that he tried out the gamr. But now I'm wondering if maybe he was asked to post that account on his story by the company as a marketing strategy? Because it's definitely working like one. More people tried out the game, more people are sticking with the game because they feel like they're interacting and competing with JK. Idk but as more time goes on I can't help but feel that maybe this whole account is just run by some Hybe employee? I just severely doubt he's that bored + has that much time on his hands to keep leveling up every few hours. I know they're technically on break but he's still not jobless lol. Maybe I'm overthinking it? I've only seen one other person bring this up so I'm curious to see what other people think.

🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 I - why would he lie?! That's his Instagram! Lol and all these ways he wants to 1) play games and 2) interact in a special way with ARMY is soooo on brand for him. Those are 2 of his favorite ways to spend his free time. Lol and let's remember that they have more control over what their schedule is looking like these days and how much free time they might have. On top of that, JK has always had a weird and not so great sleep schedule. Meaning he doesn't get enough of it. Lol

He LOVES gaming and has shared on multiple occasions how he spends his free time gaming and how he can do it for hours and how he can get really competitive about it and not want to stop until he beats it or is insanely good at it. He used to post clips of him playing overwatch. They've shared that he used to game often at the dorms with Tae or with Jin. Tae shared a story once from an old clip where you could hear him playing League with JK, Yoongi, Jin and Hobi (those being the members who spoke into the mic at least). Staying up all night to play a game, not off brand for him. Especially also considering all the armys who are busy IRL and have full time jobs who are over level 100 in the game too. PLUS considering that JK has lots of disposable income to spare to get extra hearts, blue diamonds things and anything extra he can buy to help him level up faster and spend less time waiting for things to load etc. That's gonna speed up his game time too. Examples of JK talking about gaming:

AND I don't think having army visit his island or join a club is just a marketing strategy. It's just legit JK loving spending time with ARMY. It's super on brand for him to carve out time to spend with fans. He spent hours doing Instagram Q&As in the middle of the night, not just during quarantine, but also after a performance when they still had schedules the next day too. He spent HOURS in the middle of the night on vlives with army and singing to us, on days he has to wake up for work the next day too. He spent HOURS talking until the middle of the night, just to then go and hop on a bus to go film ITS. He used to join fancafe group chats with ARMYS. In 2018 he held weekly fancafe dates with army every single Friday for a long time. Where he would create a group chat and the first X amount of people who could guess what the password was could join his GC and he would sit in there and chat with the armys for 15 to 30 minutes every single week. And in 2018 they were so booked snd busy it was insane. But he still made time to hang out with army AND still made time to work on GCFs and his own music AND go work out AND some off time gaming. And whatever else he wanted. And he did this fancafe date thing without telling the company his plans to do it at all. Lmao it was all him. Some Fancafe posts about his Friday ARMY dates:

You don't have to be jobless to spend a few hours playing a mobile game before you go to bed, or while you are eating your meals, or while being driven somewhere. He really honestly isn't leveling up that fast compared to a lot of other people I've seen to make it seem like he isn't doing ANYTHING but gaming. Lol

So I guess, I DO think it's JK. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be. And I don't think it's out of character at all for him to be doing this either. And I don't think Hybe has to worry too much about marketing it. The game was doing just fine before JK shared anything on his story about his island and his club. But you are all free to think whatever you want 😅 this is my opinion though 🤷🏻‍♀️💜

What is Digital marketing and how can we earn from it?

According to me I can offer valuable insights into the field and lucrative earning opportunities. Digital marketing involves promoting products, services, or brands through various online channels, including websites, social media, search engines, email, and mobile apps. Here are some strategies and examples that are working well for freelancers in the digital marketing industry:

Content Creation and Marketing: Content remains king in digital marketing, and freelancers can capitalize on this by offering content creation services such as blog writing, article writing, video production, and infographic design. High-quality, engaging content helps businesses attract and retain customers while improving their search engine rankings.

Example: A freelance writer specializing in technology creates informative blog posts and whitepapers for software companies, helping them establish thought leadership in their industry and drive organic traffic to their website.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO): SEO is essential for businesses to improve their visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) and drive organic traffic to their websites. Freelancers can offer SEO services such as keyword research, on-page optimization, link building, and SEO audits to help clients rank higher in search engine rankings.

Example: An SEO specialist helps a local bakery optimize its website for relevant keywords such as "best cakes in [city]," resulting in increased online visibility and more foot traffic to the bakery.

Social Media Management: Many businesses struggle to effectively manage their social media presence. Freelancers can offer social media management services, including content creation, posting schedules, community engagement, and paid advertising campaigns, to help clients grow their social media following and drive engagement.

Example: A freelance social media manager helps a small business owner create and curate engaging content for their Instagram account, increasing brand awareness and attracting new customers.

Email Marketing: Email marketing remains one of the most effective ways to nurture leads, promote products or services, and maintain customer relationships. Freelancers can offer email marketing services such as email campaign creation, list segmentation, A/B testing, and performance tracking to help clients generate leads and drive sales.

Example: An email marketing freelancer designs and implements a series of automated email campaigns for an e-commerce retailer, resulting in higher open rates, click-through rates, and conversions.

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising: PPC advertising allows businesses to reach their target audience through targeted ads on search engines and social media platforms. Freelancers can offer PPC management services, including keyword research, ad creation, bid management, and performance tracking, to help clients maximize their return on investment (ROI) from PPC campaigns.

Example: A freelance PPC specialist helps a startup company launch and optimize Google Ads campaigns, driving qualified traffic to their website and increasing sales leads.

Affiliate Marketing: Freelancers can participate in affiliate marketing programs to earn commissions by promoting products or services through their website, blog, or social media channels. By partnering with companies as affiliates, freelancers can monetize their online presence and audience.

Example: A freelance blogger writes product reviews and tutorials on their website and includes affiliate links to recommended products, earning commissions for every sale generated through their affiliate links.

HIIIIIII

So basically if you don’t know me, my name is Jupiter, you may have seen me in twitter, instagram, tiktok, etc. I’m just an usual cookie run fan but if there’s one thing that I love about cookie run, it’s the fact that I managed to archive pretty much everything about the old Ovenbreak games from 2009-2011!!

“But Jupiter, this is important how?”

“Isn’t the games no longer considered lost media?”

Well the games itself aren’t lost media anymore, but some of the official art, the advertisements, some of the stuff from Collection, and more are still somewhat lost to time!!!

AND SO I CREATED A GOOGLE DRIVE WITH EVERYTHING I CAN FIND ABOUT THE FOLLOWING GAMES:

•OvenBreak 2009

•OvenBreak 2011

•OvenBreak 2 (NOT 2016)

Here’s the link to the drive, go wild, also I apologize if my formatting is weird, I’m on mobile 💔:

Have fun looking at everything!!! & Yes me & @cookieruntheories_ on instagram are the same person incase people from instagram find me on here & ask!!!

The drive also updates every time I find more so use that information wisely!!

Edit: This is the third edit but I deleted the other two, anyways I changed the survey a bit & removed two questions now that my cookie run theory insta account got banned so just submit a theory & I won’t share it!!! (Only if you want to though)

Do Memes Provide a Useful Way of Understanding Politics?

In the age of social media, the political landscape has undergone a significant transformation. Politicians no longer depend on traditional campaign strategies to connect with the masses. Today, memes have become a powerful tool in the realm of politics. But do these humorous, often irreverent images and videos provide a useful way of understanding politics? In this blog post, I'll delve into the world of political memes in Malaysia and explore their role in shaping digital communities and sociality.

The Rise of Memes in Malaysian Politics

Malaysian politics has witnessed a remarkable evolution in recent years, with the Internet and social media playing a pivotal role in shaping political discourse. Memes, as a form of user-generated content, have become an integral part of this digital landscape. They are short, catchy, and easily shareable, making them a perfect medium for engaging and mobilizing the electorate (Shifman 2013). To illustrate, in the preceding 2023 Malaysian general election, political parties and candidates effectively harnessed memes on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to connect with the younger, tech-savvy demographic.

Meme Culture and Sociality

The unique culture surrounding political memes in Malaysia can be exemplified by the phenomenon of "political meme pages" on social media platforms. Numerous pages and groups are dedicated to creating and sharing political memes, where users participate in discussions, debates, and humour-filled exchanges. As an example, the "Zunar Cartoonist Fan Club" Facebook page has garnered substantial acclaim for its witty interpretations of Malaysian politics, fostering a strong sense of community among its dedicated followers. This demonstrates how meme culture has not only become a form of commentary but also a means of building a shared digital identity.

Understanding Complex Issues through Memes

One of the intriguing aspects of political memes is their ability to simplify complex issues (De Leon & Ballesteros-Lintao 2021, p.6). Malaysian politics is no stranger to intricate policies and controversies, but memes have a knack for breaking down these topics into digestible, often exaggerated, forms. This not only helps in spreading awareness but also encourages discussions among citizens who might have otherwise felt overwhelmed by the intricacies of politics.

Digital Activism and Social Change

Memes are more than just a source of passive entertainment; they can serve as a catalyst for social and political transformation. As an example, during the Sheraton Move in 2020, Malaysian netizens created and circulated memes that critiqued the government's alleged actions. These memes played a pivotal role in increasing awareness of the issue and galvanizing public sentiment against the perceived misconduct (Leiser 2022, p. 245). The use of memes as a form of digital protest and social commentary showcases their potential to hold politicians accountable and drive change.

The Dark Side of Memes in Politics

While memes can be a force for good in Malaysian politics, they also have a dark side. Misinformation, fake news, and character assassination are common pitfalls (Salam 2018). For instance, consider the case of Ikmal Hisham, a politician affiliated with Perikatan Nasional (PN), who found himself unjustly accused of vaping when a meme featuring him merely holding a cylindrical pen went viral across a multitude of social media platforms (Malaysiakini 2023). Therefore, it's essential to strike a balance between humour and responsibility, ensuring that memes do not undermine the integrity of political discourse.

Conclusion

In the world of Malaysian politics, memes have emerged as a powerful tool for understanding and engaging with the political landscape. They bridge the gap between the complexities of governance and the everyday experiences of citizens. Through humour and satire, they foster a sense of community and activism within the digital sphere.

However, it's crucial to approach political memes with a critical eye. They should not replace traditional news sources but complement them. The responsibility of fact-checking and ensuring the accuracy of information falls on both creators and consumers of memes.

In the end, memes provide a unique lens through which we can view and understand politics in Malaysia. They offer a glimpse into the collective consciousness of the digital community and serve as a reminder that in this interconnected age, politics is no longer confined to traditional boundaries—it thrives in the virtual world, where ideas and opinions are shared one meme at a time.

Quick wins if you don't like your relationship with screens:

Get rid of recommendations and feeds - there's lots of extensions to block Facebook and Twitter feeds, as well as YouTube recommendations. Purge your YouTube Subscriptions and only select videos from your subscriptions or what you seek out in your search bar. Don't use these on mobile where taking the feed out is not natively available.

Adopt alternative messengers - Look for messengers that don't use your data to show you ads. Skip Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok messages. Signal is the classic but if that's not your style there are many others. Want a letter writing like experience without the postage? Try SLOWLY.

Create a social email account or organize your current email to show you more social emails - social emails are emails that were personally written to you specifically from people you know. I get it, you don't want to give your phone number out to people and if you quit social media what would you give them? Your email. Depending on what email you're using there's lots of tutorials on how to get social emails in their own box or tab so you can find them easily. Declutter your email (newsletters especially) so you can more easily use it as a tool.

Consider leaving or putting strict limits on apps with no user controls over your feeds - I'm talking TikTok and Instagram here. Don't want to leave, that's fine. But take a break. See how you feel. Still not wanting to leave. That's cool. Consider setting an app timer and giving someone else the password. Given that there's no way to build in a stopping point in these apps and they're primarily mobile which make user modification dicey - you need a hard limit some how. But seriously consider passing on it.

Consider a custom phone UI (Android Phones) - there a many apps out there that let you alter your phone to be visually less distracting. I use minimalist phone but there are others. Some cost up front but the customization is simple and effective.

None of this will ultimately fix the issue. To be clear. That's not the goal. The goal is to give you enough of a break that you start to see social media for what it is a little more, make it less appealing. So this is not one of those "just turn off notifications and turn your phone to greyscale" posts. It's more of a life raft to help you keep your head above water.

if you popped into the Ted tag in the past two or three days, you might have been hit with the sight of a supposed DM between “him” and a fan:

however, this appears entirely false and i’m fairly certain i can prove it’s fake:

1.) Ted doesn’t talk like that. it is the most jarring part of all, aside from that this was probably entirely fabricated altogether. i’m not saying i’m privvy to his DMs or texts and how he messages people but it’s so far off from how he interacts with people on social media that it genuinely doesn’t read as him at all

2.) the misaligned text and the randomly fluctuating text size. the text size is not congruent throughout, the first message is abnormally larger than the next 3 lines, and those lines don’t match each other at all - even with the shot taken at an angle as it is, they would not look like that tilted. it is not leveled flat and straight like normal text would - nothing about it matches what an actual message layout would appear as

3.) there is not a single timestamp or date included. it is impossible to hide timestamps with the current instagram UI at the very start of correspondence in DMs

let me walk you through it-

screenshots of DMs through iPhone:

screenshots of DMs through Android/Samsung:

you can only get the giant PFP, the followers count, post counts, whether or not you follow each other, and any accounts you both follow from the very start of your DM correspondence - meaning this only shows up with the very first messages you send to an account. after sending more messages, the block of account information is no longer visible as it gets pushed up by further exchanged texts

you will also always have a date and/or timestamp at the top of the beginning of your first DMs, that’s not exclusive to one phone or tablet OS - the app itself is fairly congruent between different brands and their OSs. it is also not exclusive to accounts that follow each other or not

any other DMs from that point on will look generially like this:

you can literally only get the giant PFP, follower count, post count, etc. from the very start of your correspondence, it disappears with the more messages exchanged. and it will not appear anywhere else except on mobile or tablet

all DMs look like this from desktop - it doesn’t matter which browser, because i tested it on Firefox, Chrome, and Edge (screenshots i can also share, if you want them) and they all are the same:

dates and timestamps still at the top of the start of message threads - you cannot remove dates and timestamps from the beginning of direct correspondence with the way the instagram UI is now - it will always show the date and/or time the very first message was sent. and the block of instagram account information will only appear at the very start of messages first being exchanged

also, the big PFP, follower count, post count, etc. is not available  through desktop, only mobile and tablet, so it cannot be duplicated anywhere else

there is too much not adding up and the fact that it has proven impossible to replicate through conventional means leads me to believe and state with conviction that it is fake, manufactured

i’m not sure which app was used to do it, but based on how the picture was taken - the angle and the distance - leads me to believe a watermark or app interface was cropped out purposefully. there are multiple apps and sites out there that can be used to create such fake interactions, but beyond not knowing just which one was used, i’m also not going to exhaust myself trying to search more than i have

could i be wrong? yes, i’m not going to say that it’s impossible for me to be missing something, i’m not an instagram expert by any means

do i think i am wrong? no. too many things just don’t add up

i’m more than willing to eat my own words if everything i’ve just laid out can be proven wrong, but i genuinely cannot replicate what is displayed in that screenshot, which leads me to believe it is fake

it also lends precedent that she has been lying repeatedly about supposed interactions that i also believe have never taken place. but that’s for a whole different post of its own

if, again, anything could be brought to light to prove anything i just said to be incorrect, i would gladly recant. but i don’t see that happening. she’s locked down every account she has and the likelihood of Ted seeing any of the fuss being made about all this goes down every day, since he is so rarely online and interacts with so few replies and almost no @ s from people he doesn’t follow

#a million thanks to my friends for helping me run these experiments lmfao - you all are real ones for helping me out

Novaember Bingo 2022

Hello hello everyone! Tomorrow is the start of November, which means we're also so close to the start of Novaember! For those who weren't around last year or would like a refresher, Novaember is a month long Novae-centered creative event. We (the admins of the Novae Galaxy discord server) have put together a bingo card filled with prompts, and the idea is to create a bunch of awesome Novae fan content and have fun in the community!

Continue reading to see our Rules, Guide, & the 2022 Card

BINGO RULES:

These prompts are not limited to fanart! If you would like to explore and share other means of expression - like music, fanfic, poetry, cosplay, collage, quilting, etc - please do so!

Do not feel restricted to romantic relationships! If you would like to explore platonic, queerplatonic, familial, etc. relationships, please do so.

Please keep your works SFW if you would like us to reblog/retweet/highlight your works, and adhere to the guidelines of the site/community you are posting to - be it the Novae Galaxy Discord, Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram (links available in the sidebar)

Please use the tags #novaember #novaemberbingo and/or #novaember2022 and tag our account @novaemberbingo if you would like to see your works shared (if not, just let us know!)

We want everyone to have fun with these! The goal is to bring the community together and create more fanworks. Don’t be afraid to make friends and spread the love for Novae!

If you have any questions or would like clarification on anything, shoot us a message and we’ll get back with you as soon as we can!

HOW TO:

READ THE CARD

In the same way we read the ‘column + number’ on a BINGO card (B2, B4, I29, etc.), each column title is paired with a box in its same column.

On Novaember cards, each column is labeled with a category, and each box represents a prompt, so together they are read as ‘category + prompt’.

For example, the first box in the first column on the default card is read as ‘Date: Death’.

how will digital marketing change in future

The future of digital marketing is likely to be shaped by various technological advancements, changing consumer behavior, and evolving regulatory landscapes. While it's impossible to predict the future with certainty, here are some potential trends and changes that may impact the field of digital marketing:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: AI and machine learning will continue to play a significant role in digital marketing. These technologies can help businesses analyze large sets of data, personalize content and recommendations, automate tasks, and improve the overall customer experience.

Chatbots and Conversational Marketing: Chatbots and conversational marketing tools will become more sophisticated, enabling businesses to engage with customers in real-time, answer queries, and provide personalized recommendations.

Voice Search and Smart Assistants: With the growing popularity of voice-activated devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home, optimizing content for voice search will be crucial. Digital marketers will need to adapt their strategies to account for voice search queries.

Video Content: Video marketing will continue to dominate as one of the most engaging forms of content. Short-form videos, live streaming, and interactive video experiences are expected to gain more prominence.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): AR and VR technologies will provide new opportunities for immersive marketing experiences. Brands may use AR/VR for product demonstrations, virtual showrooms, and interactive advertising campaigns.

Privacy Regulations: Stricter data privacy regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA, will continue to shape how digital marketers collect and use customer data. Businesses will need to prioritize transparency and customer consent while complying with these regulations.

Data Analytics and Personalization: Data analytics will remain a cornerstone of digital marketing. Marketers will increasingly rely on data-driven insights to create highly personalized marketing campaigns and improve ROI.

Ephemeral Content: The popularity of ephemeral content, like Stories on platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, will likely continue to grow. Marketers will need to adapt their strategies to leverage these short-lived but highly engaging formats.

Influencer Marketing: Influencer marketing will evolve as influencers become more specialized and consumers become more discerning. Authenticity and alignment with brand values will be crucial.

E-commerce Integration: As e-commerce continues to grow, digital marketing strategies will increasingly focus on driving online sales. Social commerce and shoppable content will become more prevalent.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility: Consumers are increasingly concerned about sustainability and social responsibility. Brands that incorporate these values into their digital marketing efforts may gain a competitive edge.

Blockchain Technology: Blockchain may play a role in digital marketing by providing greater transparency in advertising, reducing fraud, and enabling secure transactions.

Search Engine Changes: Search engines like Google may continue to evolve their algorithms, impacting SEO strategies. Voice search, mobile-first indexing, and user experience will be key factors to consider.

It's important for digital marketers to stay agile and adapt to these changes as they unfold. Being proactive in learning about emerging technologies, understanding consumer preferences, and complying with evolving regulations will be essential to success in the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing.
