The current Takarazuka Revue Policy on Copyright

As of yesterday after updating the Maiti article, my friend reminded me that Takarazuka Revue has updated their policy on copyright with an FAQ of 13 questions. This leads to limitation of expression in the Takarazuka fandom unfortunately and that’s why a “climate shift” of fan accounts privatizing their accounts.

For the official link, you can read it here, but the translation is as follows:

all intellectual property of takarazuka revue (names, lyrics, script, images, audio, video, merchandise, stage design, publications of performers, staff and performances) belong to takarazuka revue.

no photography and videography is allowed in the second and third floor zones of “takarazuka revue hall of fame”. in places that photography is allowed, unless you are in the foreground of the images, you must not post such images online.

takarazuka performances may be restaged in schools’ cultural festivals if (i) it is not for profit, (2) no ticket fee collection, (3) no salary distribution to performers. please do not change the title and content of performance. please show but not rent out the programmes.

it is stricly forbidden to record broadcasted materials at home in order to sell, rent out to others, or for other purposes beyond personal viewing use.

when using the music (lyrics/songs) of takarazuka revue, please first consult the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers.

all intellectual property contained in the “takarazuka revue pocket app” belongs to takarazuka revue. there should be no disclosure (by means of saving, posting, recording) of such context on media pages. do not post pictures of merchandise on social media profiles.

phototaking of performers outside the theatre is currently forbidden, but you may do so for own use and commemoration. you must not distribute or sell such content on media pages. please do not follow performers for phototaking. staff will give warning in case that happens.

please do not reproduce or reedit merchandise and/or publications, and post such content on media profiles.

please be wary of taking photos for memory that the foreground should not include the performers’ appearances, or else it must not be posted.

stage design includes “title logo”, “stage sets” and “stage curtain”. please do not post images with the abovementioned context on media profiles, unless you are in the foreground of the image.

all intellectual property contained in the homepage of takarazuka revue belongs to takarazuka revue. there should be no disclosure (by means of saving, posting, recording) of such context on media pages.

the copyright of scripts from original performances of takarazuka revue belongs to takarazuka revue. there should be no reediting, alteration and/or redistribution of such publications.

it is not allowed that you create goods related to takarazuka revue intellectual property for personal or commercial use.

it is not allowed that you create art related to takarazuka revue intellectual property for personal or commercial use. such art should not be used as media profile icons or banners.

my personal take on this policy rules: i will be making some of my accounts private too, but feel free to still request follow i will still allow. for instance, i have privated my account on twitter and created a new one where it would comply with takarazuka revue rules only by mentioning of updates in text, feel free to find this new account here.

i will also be more discreet in sharing my continual translation efforts.

but i do recommend if you have done the above, you don’t necessarily have to delete all, but private the account would be fine. feel free to message me if you have any questions, or asking other takarazuka revue fans would be fine too.

Are you okay with people using, reposting or editing your art with proper credits? :3

(I'm sorry if this has been asked, I can't find anything mentioning this!)

Thank you for asking 🧡

Hmmm I think it depends a bit of the case? I think you here have good intentions, but since "using" is very broad term I'm going to answer kind of broadly here and not just yes/no in case someone else would refer to this ask at another context.

So, all of my works are copyrighted under Finnish/EEA copyright laws. The copyright is created and valid automatically from the moment of creation of the art piece (and it also includes sketches I've posted on Patreon, for example). My answers are based on those copyright laws and on my personal preferences within those.

(under cut as this got long)

USING: I'm ok with most personal use. That is, for example, printing out a single image for personal use or using a picture on your blog header or as personal playlist (spotify etc) cover art AS LONG as it is not a piece commissioned by someone else.

If you own a print you have ordered from me, you have also right to display it publicly (i.e. posting a photo of it). Owning a print doesn't however mean that you get right to print more copies for sale.

I'm not ok with my art used in buyable products or copies of my art sold by others than those I've individually authorized. I have copyright even to commissioned pieces, so even those cannot be used in products without my consent. If you'd like to use my art on products/covers or otherwise do some kind of collaboration, send me an email at artharakka(at)gmail.com and we can discuss prices and royalties.

REPOSTING (public display): Usually I'd say I prefer people reblogging (through the little arrows at the bottom of the post) rather than reposting it (meaning making your own original post with it). If you'd like to post it on other social media sites besides tumblr, I do have Instagram (also @ artharakka) where I post my art and I'd prefer if no new art of mine ends up on twitter/x/whatever.

However, if you'd like to do a collab of my art or with my art, to do reference/shoutout post or a moodboard for your characters etc., I'm ok with reposting as long as I'm mentioned as the artist. Though here you are also bound by the laws' moral obligations which means no putting my art "in context that could be offensive to the artist" (very broad and case by case point but I bet mocking me is not your intention)

I'm also ok with using my art in noncommercial contexts i.e. as figures in articles or school projects.

EDITING: I'm ok with most edits, again, as long as it isn't offensive to me. (And offensive meaning mostly not aiming to mock me or use in contexts that would show me in bad light, but also don't draw smut of my characters without asking). Im ok with, for example, removing a background from some piece, but in that case you have to remember that I still own the copyright. If the edit / modification of the idea is original enough, it might become it's own piece with own copyrights (again, I don't own themes or ideas and sometimes I also borrow compositions/themes from older art).

TLDR: I'm ok with most things not offensive and that you don't aim to earn money with. Credit is welcome and I prefer as direct link as you can provide. Commissioned pieces are off limits without the commissioner's consent.

For individual case questions you can send me message, email or another ask!

#copyright #ask #sorry about legal approach but art is my job so I gotta be a bit strict :'D

So this is in fact a double-layered ask!

In the 2000 Sega Dreamcast game Skies of Arcadia, one of the characters, Gilder, has a ship named the Claudia. In the interior set of that ship, there are several pictures of women hanging on the wall.

One of the pictures is this:

First, possibly easier part: I obtained that image from a Skies of Arcadia fansite listing easter eggs and shoutouts that I can no longer find. Can you find that website? It was a really good source of Skies info.

Second, more difficult part: the reason this image is special is that the website in question was not able to determine the original source of this picture. Note that the grey frame was almost certainly added by the game developers. But I'm curious if you have better luck!

I'm unsure if I've solved the first, and I definitely didn't solve the second—I found a thread on Twitter discussing the same photos. The author of the thread has a page on Skies of Arcadia, and a list of links to similar places. Maybe that is or points to what you're looking for.

I feel like I’ve seen a lot of “how to use tumblr for new twitter refugees” guides but not a lot of “how to figure out how what blogs to follow” posts out there? which is kind of the most important part of using the site and is the entire ‘cultivating your dash, customizing your experience’ bit. everyone has their own methods, but what has worked for me/ if I had to start from scratch, what I would do is:

start by following all of: your friends and people you like on other social networks who have their tumblrs listed

ao3 authors usually have tumblrs listed, other small authors/designers, artists, cosplayers, etc. follow them all. ie, there are a lot of really top notch small business dice creators who make really pretty dice and I love to follow them

some of the tags have people dedicated to reblogging cool photos of: space, fluid dynamics, shiny stones, fashion, etc. go to those tags to find dedicated blogs for those to follow

you can look around for ‘writeblr’ / ‘studyblr’ etc; sides of tumblr dedicated people talking about their personal experiences/inspo for those things; if that’s your jam, follow those people

search your favorite fandom tags, follow a bunch of people there

and now, for the most important step(s), once you’ve got some base material on your dash to work from:

if someone reblogs cool art that you like, follow the original artist

if there is any sort of post that seems cool/ person reblogging from a person who seems cool, click on their tumblr, if they seem interesting, follow them

if anyone reblogs something that you don’t like (for example, I have zero patience for anti discourse) or just seems to mostly have posts that are not Your Vibes, unfollow them

if you make friends with someone (they message you, interact with you a bunch, send you asks) and their blog seems your jam, follow them

note you could have been less lazy in the beginning of this process and actually scrolled down blogs to see if you like the content or not, and choose to not follow people whose content didn’t seem your cup of tea at the start, but I’m lazy and it’s really easy to unfollow people via noticing that what they’re putting on your dash doesn’t Vibe with you. if you do browser extensions, this is also a good time to install Shinigami Eyes (<-- I think that is the most current link?) to avoid terfs/ look for trans-friendly blogs

but yeah the main strategy is “follow liberally, use posts that are on your dash eventually to find more people to follow, unfollow liberally” and I think it works pretty well to get something set up as you figure out your own dash cultivation styles

ultimately it’s kind of like finding good works on ao3; you can sometimes find some good stuff sorting by most kudos/hits/bookmarks, but I have never found a more efficient ‘algorithm’ than once you are done reading everything you like from an author, going to their bookmarks, reading their bookmarks bc someone whose writing you like a lot will probably have good reading taste, and then rinse and repeat

#the tumblr fandom #honestly I do NOT recommend immediately going to the most popular blogs unless it's a very specific niche you like #They Will Be On Your Dash Anyways I Promise You #let the posts of theirs that you like pass peer review #but yeah that's what I do I guess tossing this out there if anyone has their own strats

2000's and Beyond: Modern Fic

In this iteration of Fic History, we’re going to be exploring the fic culture in mega-fandoms from the early 2000’s and beyond. That’s a big field to cover, I know, so each section is probably going to be a bit less detailed than usual in order to make things easier to digest. To begin, we’re starting with:

Harry Potter

I think it goes without saying that the HP fandom is probably the fandom of the 21st century. No book series has become so ubiquitous as HP, and there are still more HP fics on FF.net than from any other fandom. Since HP was published when the internet already existed, most of the fandom’s fics were published online, although a few printed fanzines were created. HP fic is also extremely varied, most likely due to the wide cast of characters and length of time covered by canon lore. You could find fic on anything from coffee shop AUs of the Hogwarts founders to explorations of the main trio’s children when they eventually attended Hogwarts. Like most fandoms with a large internet presence, the HP fandom had its own fic sites, some of which were dedicated to specific attributes like certain ships or tropes, but fic was also posted en masse to multifandom archives like FF.net and AO3. In fact, as of 2017, there are still more Harry Potter fanworks on FF.net than any other fandom.

Twilight

If HP is the fandom of the century, Twilight is probably the fandom of the 2000’s decade. At least in the media, Twifans were portrayed as either feral teenage girls or feral middle-age women, but the fandom is actually much more diverse. In terms of fanfiction, it goes without saying that the most famous fic within the fandom is probably Master of the Universe by Snowqueens Icedragon, more commonly known by its profic title of Fifty Shades of Grey. Snowqueens Icedragon, A.K.A. E.L. James, filed the serial numbers off of her fic and sold it as an original piece of fiction to massive critical attention and success. You can read a bit more about Fifty Shades here.

One Direction

This is the odd fandom out of the bunch, as it’s the only one listed that’s completely focused on real person fic, or RPF. According to FanLore, since there isn’t traditional source material to function as a canon to write fic about, canon in the 1D sense consists of “One Direction's members' original appearance on the reality show, plus their concerts, albums, music videos, video diaries, interviews, books, photo shoots, award ceremonies, other television appearances, band members' and families' personal twitter accounts, media gossip, authorized candid photos and selfies, and unauthorized candid photos by paparazzi and fans.”

RPF already has a bad reputation in fandom spaces, but since 1D is an engineered boy band adored mainly by teenage girls (fandom’s least favorite demographic), the 1D fandom reputation is in the pits (Jamison 2013). Despite this, the fandom is still quite large, and produces a lot of fic, especially on Wattpad, where the fanfic series turned profic After by Anna Todd was published from 2013 to 2014. The most popular ship amongst directioners is Larry Stylinson, or Harry/Louis.

Finally, we have

SuperWhoLock

Behind HP, this is probably the largest fandom on the list, simply because it’s actually three fandoms smushed together: Supernatural, Doctor Who, and BBC’s Sherlock. Fans in this fandom are called SuperWhoLockians. This fandom was especially active on Tumblr in the early 2010’s, and while the main form of fanwork was gifsets, lots of fanfic was produced in each fandom individually as well in crossovers. The most popular Supernatural ships were Castiel/Dean (Destiel) and Wincest (Sam/Dean, who are brothers, hence the portmanteau between Winchester and incest), while Sherlock’s most popular was Sherlock/Watson or Johnlock. Doctor Who is different, as each individual reincarnation of the Doctor is considered a different character, so each Doctor has different pairings, usually with their respective companions or the Master. SuperWhoLock has a reputation for being cringy due to member’s repeated hijacking of Tumblr posts with fandom related GIFs, but now that the fandom is much less active, the cringe has turned into a feeling of nostalgia.

There are so many more fandoms I could talk about, which just goes to show how fandom spaces have only exploded in size as time has passed. Even though these descriptions aren’t the most detailed, I hope you found them informative and interesting!

Happy reading,

-KP

Wildest Dreams Chapter 14 - Shake It Off

Chapter summary: Bee was invited to test the W09 in for FP1 at the Hungaroring. She contends with her rising notoriety, and finally gets a small grasp on her Formula 1 dreams.

Content warning: N/A

Chapter word count: 3,590

Author’s notes: When I originally wrote this chapter, I didn't know how FP1 drivers were allocated car numbers, so I had Bee pick her own. However, I have since come to find out that teams are allocated temporary numbers for FP1 drivers to use, so I had to make a few tweaks.

I also did a lot of research because I don't know the exact mechanics of driving an F1 car. I can drive something with a manual transmission so it was tricky to write about driving the car without knowing how it works.

Anyway, here's the sources I used for this chapter:

Logan Sargeant, Oscar Piastri, and Pato O'Ward talking about their experiences testing F1 cars in Abu Dhabi 2021

Daniel Ricciardo completing the FIA jump test

Emergency Driver extraction (this is what they did to Bee in Chapter 5). You could imagine why the self-extraction is preferable.

All of the tyre compounds they used in 2018. A bit ridiculous, kind of glad they simplified it.

Previous Chapter

Brackley, Northampton, England, United Kingdom Mid July, 2018

There was a two-week gap between Silverstone and Hungary, and Bee couldn’t ever remember having a busier time between races. The British GP was part of a doubleheader that year, so she went to the German GP in Hockenheim as well, despite there not being an F2 race. But she’d at least have a chance to spend a few days at home that way.

Mercedes had announced that she would be participating in an FP1 test at the Hungaroring, and she was immediately inundated with requests for interviews from all over the world, but especially Germany and the United States.

She worked with the Mercedes PR team to develop a press kit with canned quotes and publicity photos, which helped take some of the load off, but it was still a lot to deal with all at once. She still couldn’t do everything - a popular morning TV show in America wanted to fly her out to New York City for a live appearance, but she had to decline and did one via Skype instead. “It’s just too much to fly out now with such an important race coming up for me, I’m sorry.” she told the producers. It felt strange - when was the last time that anyone in the US cared about Formula 1?

“I think that Netflix show is helping with the US audience,” Toto said. Bee had forgotten about it for the most part, because Mercedes had opted to not participate, and she never really watched anything on Netflix - she just didn’t have time. She’d seen the cameras and crew around the paddock but there were always so many other camera crews around it didn’t really register.

She also found out that Nick had officially been released from his team following his two-race suspension. It made her angry, though, that his team didn’t release him because of his actions at Silverstone and throughout the season, but for non-payment of expenses and fees by one of his sponsors. To make matters worse, Trident, his team, posted on Twitter about Nick, decrying his actions at Silverstone and earlier races, saying that Bee had their full support.

It took everything Bee had to not respond, to ask them why they didn’t do something sooner, but in the end, it wouldn’t help. Nick was out of the series and Bee wouldn’t have to worry about him, and that’s what was important.

In addition to Bee’s schedule being busy, her anxiety had reached a level she had not felt in a long time. She wondered if George had felt like this before Silverstone. He’d at least had the advantage of doing previous FP1 tests for other teams. He’d gotten a test with Force India when they were in GP3, and had done a test with Williams as well. Bee hadn’t been upset or jealous, because George was absurdly talented, even in a way Bee wasn’t.

She made sure she had an appointment with Natalie before she went, because when she was stressed and busy like this, being able to have someone untangle the twisted threads of her mind was always helpful. Plus, Bee had a gift to bring her.

“Before we start, I got you something, to say thank you for help at Silverstone. I think if you weren’t there to calm me down, well… I don’t know what would have happened, but you and Susie both were amazing, even if I was an absolute terror.”

Bee pulled a small gift bag from her backpack and handed it to Natalie.

“Oh!” Natalie said, looking inside. “What’s -” There were three small boxes inside, two were in Mercedes team packaging, and the other plain white.

The two Mercedes boxes were signed mini-helmets, one Valtteri’s, the other Lewis’s.

“Oh! Oh my goodness! Thank you! These are amazing! You know, I got plenty of Mercedes merch during my time there, but I never had anything signed.”

“I managed to hunt both of them down at the factory to sign these for you, but I made the last thing.” Bee said.

The third box was a little larger. Natalie opened it to see a pile of pale white shortbread sandwich cookies, covered in coconut flakes with a stripe of carmel-colored filling between them.

“You made me alfajores?”

Bee nodded. “I'm a horrible cook, but I can bake just fine - the instructions are generally clearer. I wanted to get you something that was from Argentina, but it’s kind of hard to find Argentinian food in Northants, as I’m sure you’re aware, so I looked up how to make these. I’d never heard of them, but I think I did okay. I liked them, at least.” Natalie took a bite of one while Bee watched her nervously. She smiled as she chewed it.

“Well, they’re not my abuela’s, but… they’re still really, really good. I haven’t had alfajores in forever. I missed them.” She closed the box and set it aside. “That’s so nice of you. Thank you for thinking of me, you really shouldn’t have.”

“I had to,” Bee said. “I’m so embarrassed by how I acted, and you weren’t even there to work but you still had to, in a way, so this was the least I could do.”

Before Hungary, Bee also had a meeting with Peter Bonnington, who would be her engineer for her FP1 test. They needed to go over the run plan for her test - discussing the kinds of things they would be having her do during the test, and the setup changes they would make in the course of the 45 minutes they had of the hour and a half test session. Bee was a little bit nervous - Bono was a legend, as much as an engineer could be. He’d been in Formula 1 since Bee was a toddler, and with the Mercedes team before they were even owned by Mercedes. He and Lewis had an amazing rapport, and his ability to keep Lewis calm while delivering crucial information was second-to-none. Bee suspected Lewis would not be nearly as successful as he was if not for Bono, which Lewis had said himself on a few occasions.

Bee stepped into the conference room to see that he was already at the table, a neat pile of notes in front of him.

“All right, Phoebe? He said with a smile as she sat down. “I have to say, I’m glad they tapped me to do your test. I’m excited to work with you.”

They discussed the things she would be doing for her test - simulated starts and qualifying runs, power levels, engine maps and profiles, adjustments they would be making to the car’s configuration as the test progressed. By the end of it, Bee’s head felt overloaded, even though she was doing her best to follow it all. Even driving race cars for a few years couldn’t teach you everything an engineer knew.

“My dad is going to love meeting you.” she said as they were wrapping things up.

“Oh, that’s right, he’s an engineer, isn’t he? Well, he can sit next to me at the engineering desk if he wants. I’m assuming your parents got paddock passes like George’s did for his test.”

“Yup. And he’s gonna love that.”

As they were getting ready to leave the conference room, Bee asked Bono a question she’d been thinking about for a long time.

“Will I get to pick the number I use?”

“Hm?”

“Well, I didn’t think I’d be able to drive it with Lewis’ number on it, and I wasn’t really sure how FP1 drivers pick them.”

“Oh. Well, the FIA has a few temporary numbers they issue teams. We have numbers 19 and 21, so you'd get one of the two. But, out of curiosity, if you could pick - and if you do get to choose someday, which number would you pick?”

Her driver number had always been assigned to her. Teams in lower formulae typically had far more mid-season turnover with drivers, so the number was generally assigned to a car and not a driver. In Formula 2, they were also assigned based on the teams’ standings in the previous season. Her current number was number 2 - Russian Time had won the teams’ championship last year, they were given the numbers 1 and 2, and Artem had seniority on the team, so he was number 1. She didn’t have a favorite number, or a “lucky number” like some people had.

When she thought about it, there was a number that came to mind. She had already checked to make sure it wasn’t already assigned, and hadn’t been retired by F1. Luckily, it seemed that it hadn’t ever been used before.

When she was younger, she always remembered her grandfather saying this sing-songy phrase, one that he’d made up himself. She never understood why he did it. He was always whistling, tapping on things, singing, drumming his fingers - it was all just a collection of nervous habits, so it was just one of those weird Grandpa things, and it always got stuck in Bee’s head after she spent time with him.

“Daniel Leo, class of fif-tee-oh.”

Always in the same rhythm and cadence. The little song referred to the fact that he, Daniel Leo Stallard, had graduated from high school in the year 1950.

After all, without her grandfather’s love of motorcycles and racing them in fallow hay fields with his friends, her father might not have ever developed his fascination with machinery as a kid from watching his father work on his Harley-Davidson in the garage. Then he might not have ever gotten into engineering or racing, and she wouldn’t have watched racing with him as a kid, fostering a desire to race herself. It was a legacy of sorts, and look where it had led? She was about to drive a Formula One car during a race weekend. So that was it. She would be the number 50.

“Oh. Well, if and when I ever get to pick, I’d probably go with the number 50.”

“That’s a good one,” Bono said. “A nice round number. I don’t think that one’s ever been used since drivers could choose their own, come to that.”

“Hopefully there’s not some decades-old racing curse attached to it.” Bee said.

Bono laughed. “Not that I know of.”

The Hungaroring, Mogyoród, Pest County, Hungary July 27th, 2018

The day of Bee’s test arrived. She felt like she didn’t sleep at all the night before. She was too excited. During the week, she felt like she’d had too much to do and it wouldn’t ever get done - making sure her suit fit and was updated with all of the current sponsors, having a new helmet painted, having a seat fitted and made, passing an FIA-mandated jump test to make sure she could get out of the car quickly in case of emergency (she much preferred self-extraction, having experienced the other option before), making sure her racing license was cleared for FP1 testing as she didn’t have her Super License quite yet - there was a lot of little pieces that needed to come together before someone can even put one foot into a Formula One car, even if only part of a single 90-minute test session.

Her parents flew out to Hungary on Thursday morning (once again, Bee paid for their flight and accommodations, which still felt good. It probably would never not feel good). The Stallards and the Wolffs all went out for dinner on Thursday night, and Bee went to bed as early as possible, not that it helped. It would be an ungodly busy day - she had F2 practice straight after her F1 session, so she wouldn’t be running the entire session, then qualifying, and then maybe a press conference if she was lucky.

She also had to do press before FP1 - she wasn’t sure why, but it was likely something to do with the situation she found herself in as the first woman to participate in an F1 weekend in a while, something that was clarified when Will Buxton interviewed her for the Formula 1 channels.

“So, Phoebe -” he said, “You’re about to supplant Susie Wolff as the most recent woman to take part in a Grand Prix weekend in four years. She’s been a mentor to you for many years now, even before you switched from Red Bull’s junior program to Mercedes’ two years ago. How does that make you feel? Have the two of you talked about this?”

Bee wasn’t surprised by the question. It had come up a bit in the press, they were trying to push some “student surpasses the master” narrative between her and Susie, but it just wasn’t the reality of their relationship. Whatever made for more compelling articles, though.

“We have talked about it quite a bit. I don’t think she ever really wanted the honor of being the last one in such a long period of time, or the first. I don’t, either. I know I’m about to be the most recent woman to complete an F1 session, but I’ll be thrilled when the next one comes along, just like Susie is thrilled for me. I hope it doesn’t take four more years. I think it’s a shame that there hasn’t been a woman to complete any session between her time with Williams as a development driver and my time with Mercedes as one, but for both of us, I think, we’re trying to be as visible as possible as women in motorsport, so girls can see that they can have a future in racing if they want to. That way, someday, there might be a time where being a woman participating as an F1 driver isn’t something newsworthy.”

“And about the incident that occured at Silverstone - were you surprised that Nick Bonacchi was released from his team?”

Bee had to be delicate, she definitely could not say what she actually had wanted to. That would give the Mercedes PR team a lot of extra work over the weekend.

“I understand that he was let go due to contractual issues between his sponsor and his team, rather than the crash. I… wish they had been able to take some earlier action, but there may have been some inter-team issues that prevented that, I’m not sure. But, I appreciate their message of support for me on their social media channels.”

What she had wanted to say was, hell no, I’m not surprised, it was a long time coming and if the FIA and his team were worth a damn, they’d have done something a lot sooner. She wasn’t at the stage of her career yet where she could be quite so candid. Maybe one day.

She left the media pen to go back to the garage and get ready. It wouldn’t be long now.

She got changed into her Mercedes suit. It felt strange, looking down and seeing herself in the white fireproofs and overalls. She’d worn it for sim testing, but it still felt different. She stepped out of the room they let her use to change in, out into the garage, where everyone seated at the back engineering station - Susie, Toto, her parents, and Bono - all looked up at her.

“Well? What do you think?” Bee said, not sure of what else to say.

Her mom looked like she was about to cry, but immediately demanded pictures, like most moms would. She got one with Toto, one with Susie, one with her dad, and one with both of her parents that Toto took for them. George had come into the garage during all this, and Josephine insisted on getting a picture of him and Phoebe, too.

“I remember when you two were in Formula Renault and Formula 3 together! You’re so much taller now, but you were such a cute kid.” she said to George. Phoebe wanted to die of embarrassment on the spot, but George took it with good humor. His parents had said hello to her and chatted with her a bit in Silverstone; she didn’t end up in the family pictures.

Soon enough, Bono told her it was time. She gave her parents, Toto, and Susie one last hug.

“Listen,” Susie said, her hands on both of Bee’s shoulders after they embraced. Her head was close to Bee’s, and she was speaking quietly, so only Bee could hear her. “I’m so proud of you. I knew this day would come, and this is just your first step. You’re going to be incredible. You’ve worked so hard for this, and it’s paying off. Just remember, take deep breaths and visualize the racing line all the way around the track before you take off.”

“I couldn’t have done it without you. This is all for you.” Bee said to her before turning towards where Bono was waiting.

She put her headset in her ears, pulled on her balaclava and gloves, and put on her helmet. She stepped up onto the stepstool, then down into the car, hanging from the halo a little bit as she folded her legs into the nose. The mechanics did some adjustments around her seat and put her harness on her, making sure it was snug all the way around. It was strange having so many mechanics buzzing around the car at once, her team at RT only really had four of them.

“Radio check, Phoebe.” Bono’s voice said in her ear.

“Loud and clear.” Phoebe said.

“Okay, excellent. We’re going to get going here in just a second and give you a reconnaissance lap to get a handle on things. Don’t worry about full speed or power right away, just go at a pace you’re comfortable with, we’ll go through our run plan after that. Just treat it like it’s another day in the sim.”

“Bit higher stakes than the sim, though.” Bee said. She was trying not to envision herself doing something like mixing up the brake and throttle or spinning out and hitting the pitlane wall as soon as she pulled out of the garage.

“You’ll be fine. I’ll be with you the whole way.”

Finally, she was ready. She held her breath as she launched the car from the garage into the pit lane. She took the length of the pitlane to find the balance of the throttle and shifting. Even as she went out on the reconnaissance lap, she found that George was not kidding. She wasn’t even running at full power and it was already a completely different feel to her F2 car. It was nothing like she ever felt.

“Okay, Phoebe, let’s go ahead and get started with the run plan once you come over the line.” Bono said.

She got started putting the car through its paces, increasing the power gradually. It was definitely more of a physical experience. As she got into the corners, she definitely felt it in her neck. Accelerating in the straights, she felt the gravity right in her chest. Compared to her F2 car, she felt like she could absolutely whip the car around the corners and it would not budge - it was so responsive and grippy. It was everything she expected and more. She did another few laps, her times were dropping.

“Okay, Phoebe, box, box for softs.” Bono said, telling her to come into the pits so they could change her tires to a softer rubber compound. Softer tires were stickier, and gave the car more grip as they adhered to the track more.

Oh boy. They’d sent her out on medium compound tires. They probably didn’t dare send her out on the ultrasofts they’d brought for the weekend, but that was fine - she thought that would be too much.

“Copy.”

She headed into the pits, afraid she would miss the mark and run over the jackman, but she managed fine. A 3-second pit stop and she was off again, trying to drop her lap times more. The soft tires made a huge difference. Her neck was getting noticeably sore, but she wasn’t going to let it stop her.

“Power, power, power, apex, brake, brake, brake, power, power, slower through the chicane...” she thought to herself, almost like a mantra.

Finally, they had her run a simulated start launch and some simulated qualifying runs.

By the time she pulled back into the garage, she was a mess. She was drenched with sweat, but giddy and breathless. She was on top of the world. Her lap times were respectable - not amazing, but respectable, and she didn’t turn Lewis Hamilton’s car into a multimillion dollar trash heap, which was really her main goal for the session.

Once the car was parked and turned off, she released her wheel and harness and climbed back out of the car as she peeled off her helmet and balaclava and took her earphones out. Without her helmet and earphones, she could hear that the garage had exploded with cheers. There were a ton of cameras, more than she’d expected. Someone in the viewing gallery was holding up a poster board that said “Go Super Bee” with a cartoon bumble bee on it that had braided pigtails. Someone else had an American flag. It was so bizarre. It felt like she’d stepped out of the car and into a dream.

She got hugs from seemingly everyone in the garage. Her mom was crying. Susie was even crying a little, which was something she’d thought she’d never see. She started crying. Her dad looked so proud of her. It was a lot. The environment was absolutely electric. It was, so far, the best day of her life.

15+ Best Tips To Earn Money From Instagram: (Easy & Simple) In 2022

How To Earn Money From Instagram

Introduction

Instagram has become the most popular social media platform in the world. Instagram is a great place to Make Money From Instagram your business and it doesn’t have to be hard. There are plenty of ways to get paid for posting on Instagram, in this article we’ll go over 15+ Best Tips To Earn Money From Instagram in detail now but you must know how the market works before diving in headfirst.

#1. Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.

– Author: R.C. Sproul

How To Make Money From Instagram

How To Earn Money From Instagram | Make Money From Instagram | Earn Money From Instagram (With Or Without 10K Followers) | Earn Money From Instagram In 2022

Finding your Instagram Niche

Now that you have your Instagram bio, it’s time to start posting. There are many ways to make money on Instagram and the most effective way is by finding a niche that you are passionate about and then capitalizing on it. You can do this by creating a product or service that relates directly to your audience or niche community. The key here is consistency in branding, content creation, and promotion through consistent hashtags, links, and calls-to-action (CTAs).

If you want more tips on how to increase engagement on Instagram visit my website at [link].

Here are a few Tips to help you get started:

-Create a bio that is short, sweet, and clearly states what your content is about. If it’s too long people won’t read it! Try not to go over 75 characters in your bio.

-Create a catchy caption, that pulls the reader in and makes them want to click on your link.

-Use hashtags sparingly but make sure they are relevant to your post and not just used for self-promotion. Use no more than 3 hashtags per post and make sure they are not obscure or too long.

-Use images that are high quality, clear and interesting. Take your time to find a good photo you like and then optimize it by uploading it at a higher resolution than the original.

-Use the right tools. Many apps can help you with this including:

-Instagram

-Canva

-Hootsuite

-Buffer

-Spruce

-Gramfeed

-Tailwind

-Schedugram

#2. When I read something, I want to be surprised. So I read something and go, “Wow, I never, ever would have thought of playing this kind of role. This is exciting me, let’s go do this.”

– Author: Guy Pearce

Creating a killer profile

Use a good profile picture

Include a bio

Use hashtags

Add location tags, captions, and links to your website or other social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter)

Developing your Brand

A brand is the most important part of any business. It’s what makes you stand out from your competitors, so if you want to make money from Instagram, you must make sure that your brand reflects what makes you unique and special. Branding is about consistency—being consistent with your message, tone, and style; being consistent with who follows you on Instagram (and why); being consistent with how often and where they see the posts from their feed; being authentic when posting content; etc., etc., etc…

Bringing in the Crowds

Make your profile public. This is the first step to getting more followers on Instagram. Making your profile public means that anyone can see it and follow you, so don’t be shy about making sure this happens!

Share content on other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter too! They have millions of users who will also see what you have to say if they are interested in similar topics as yours, so why not give them another reason why they should check out your account?

Use hashtags for visibility purposes: This is another thing that makes people want to spend time looking through photos or videos posted by others because it helps them find new content quickly when scrolling through their feed (and remember: more engagement = more views!). If someone posts something interesting but doesn’t use any hashtags at all then how will anyone know where else they might find similar things? So make sure each post includes at least one relevant hashtag—this way everyone knows exactly what kind of content was shared without having wasted any time searching futilely while waiting impatiently until someone else posts something new before realizing there wasn’t anything good enough yet!

#3. Everyone loves to dance. I’ve realize that’s a part of what I do more and more every day.

Monetization Techniques

Photo by Andre Sebastian on Unsplash

There are many ways to make money from Instagram, including advertising and sponsorship. Here are some other ways to monetize your account:

Affiliate Marketing – You can link your account with an affiliate program so that when someone buys something through your link, you get paid a commission. This is also one of the best ways to make money on Instagram!

Product Placement – If you have an awesome product or service that people want but don’t know about yet (and if they’re like us), we recommend contacting companies directly about getting them featured on our feeds for free! We’ve had great success doing this ourselves—and it doesn’t take much time either! We’ve been able to get featured on tons of accounts without spending any money out-of-pocket (just our time).

Creating an income from Instagram takes time, but it is doable.

Create a Facebook page and/or Twitter account.

Create an Instagram account.

Use hashtags and add captions that are relevant to your industry, niche, and audience. Try using the same hashtags you use on other social media platforms so people who follow them will also see your posts on Instagram too!

Engage with followers by commenting on their photos or replying to comments left by others in the comments section of each post you make (this helps build relationships). Don’t forget about likes as well! You can see how many likes each post gets by scrolling through its feed within Instagram itself – if there’s anything worth sharing then chances are good that someone else already shared it before – check out those Top 10 Lists we mentioned earlier again if needed too!

Make money from your own Instagram posts.

When it comes to making money from Instagram, there are a few basic steps that you should take. These include creating a business account and profile, creating a hashtag for your product or service (if applicable), posting about your product or service on the platform itself, setting up landing pages with more information about those offerings, and sending out email newsletters to customers/clients in exchange for their addresses (and thus collecting emails), using social media as an advertising platform (such as Facebook) where they can engage directly with each other. And then there are even more options like:

Creating landing pages so people can buy products online right away without having to pay any extra fees – this is especially useful if someone buys several thousand dollars worth at once!

Sending out freebies like eBooks etcetera in exchange for their email address – again this helps increase traffic coming into websites because people will want information before making any purchases themselves…

#4. Self realization of strengths and weaknesses is the first step towards salvation.

– Author: Mayank S. Sengar

Become an influencer or a brand ambassador.

Becoming an influencer or brand ambassador is a great way to make money online. You can become an influencer by posting interesting content that your followers will like, and getting them to follow you on Instagram.

If you want to become an influencer, start with the basics: post photos of yourself doing something fun (like playing soccer), then tag it #instagoodmakemoneyontheinternet or #instagramidontknowifitsworkingbutthatsokaybecauseimnotgoingtogetpaidanywayiamjustmakingcontentinsteadsofthatlikethisideahereonthispage!

Once your account has more than 50 followers, start promoting other people’s products using hashtags such as:

#buymyproducttodayandgetfree shipping! People will see these posts and buy what is being advertised even though they don’t know who posted them (you!). You’ll get paid by advertisers and brands alike because everyone loves free stuff! You may also want to consider starting up YouTube channels or other social media platforms such as Facebook where there are lots of users who watch videos instead of reading text-based articles.”

Sell products on Instagram.

Use a hashtag that is relevant to your product.

Find a product that has a large following.

Find a product with high demand, but not too much competition.

Find an affordable item with high-profit margins for reselling on Instagram and make sure it fits into your niche!

Sell presets (filters) for Instagram photos.

A preset is a filter that you can add to your photo before posting it on Instagram. You can create presets by using an app or website called InstaPix.

You can make money from selling these filters in different ways:

Sell on Etsy, which is a popular place for people who are selling things online (like art or crafts)

Make money with affiliate marketing programs, where a company pays you when someone buys their product through your link (for example Amazon)

Grow other people’s accounts and get paid to do it.

#5. I still love to play chess. So I do not even spend a minute on the possibility to step back.

– Author: Anatoly Karpov

There are a couple of ways you can grow other people’s accounts, and get paid for it.

Find people with a large following on Instagram and reach out to them – make sure you have the right credentials to do this, like being able to provide proof that they have an audience interested in what they’re doing. You could also use tools like Instagress or Hootsuite (both free) to help manage your social media presence more effectively. If you’re looking for more advanced features such as analytics tracking or scheduling posts at specific times of day/weekend days then check out Crowdfire ($10/month).

Get paid for growing other people’s accounts – this is something I’ve personally done before but it’s important not only because it gives us something else besides just likes which isn’t necessarily what we want from our posts but also because if we build up our following then even though there may not be very many followers yet still earning money off each post makes sense since these numbers add up quickly over time!

Affiliate marketing on Instagram.

How to get started with affiliate marketing on Instagram:

Open an account at Marketo and set up your profile. When you’re ready, follow these steps:

Sign into your Marketo account and click “Help” in the top right corner of your screen. Then AAclick “Create Plan.”

Select “Start a New Campaign” from the menu that appears next to this option. You’ll be prompted for some basic information about yourself (name, email address), which we recommend filling out before proceeding further with this process. Once you’ve filled out all of these details successfully, click Save Changes when prompted by our system so we can encrypt them before storing them securely in our servers!

Sell your photography prints and products online with Printful and Instagram.

If you’re looking to get started in the world of affiliate marketing, Printful is a great place to start. Here’s what you need:

An account with Printful

A product you’d like to sell (or have already made)

An Instagram account and a connection between it and your Printful account.

Make sure you pay attention to the market and keep up with trends so your account stays popular.

Stay relevant by posting content that appeals to your followers, engaging with them regularly, and building a following of people related to your niche.

Be creative with your content (you can always find inspiration on Instagram). Posting new photos is also a good way of keeping people interested in your page!

#6. It is the winners who write history – their way.

Let Threads become a flash in the pan, and Remini top the beauty list by relying on "fried rice"?

There are two main reasons why photo retouching/photo generation apps can quickly hit the rankings:

1. With the benefit of technology iteration, manufacturers launch new apps, and users download them in a short period of time due to their early adopter mentality. Immediately, a wave of similar apps followed.

For example, the function of generating text images has made Wonder AI popular.

2. An old app once again becomes the center of the topic through a filter or function that meets the user's aesthetics/needs, revitalizing its activity and gaining a wave of new customers.

For example, in June, the photo-editing app Peachy updated its body P-picture function, allowing users to add creative tattoos and chest muscles to their bodies, tapping into Korean users' national fitness and body anxiety. After the version iteration, Peachy entered the Top50 in the Korean iOS overall list.

From the perspective of extending the HE Tuber life of the app and improving developer efficiency, the second method is the way more manufacturers choose, but it also means that the picture app needs to constantly update, which is also a very painful process. And Remini seems to be handy and can always create trends.

Remini US iOS free list ranking changes | Source: Diandian Data (6.14-7.11)

After the author wrote in June that Remini began to make efforts in emerging markets such as Indonesia, in the past week, according to point data, Remini has always remained in the Top 5 in the United States, the original strong market. When Remini overtook Threads, its operating company Bending Spoons also tweeted to show off that it was going to have a "cage duel" with Xiao Zhaya.

Source: Twitter

It is no accident that this App launched in 2019 has been able to enter the download list many times in the old market.

Let’s look at it from the latest time it topped the iOS download list in the United States.

If you only go one step forward, things become very boring: many users use Remini to predict what their future children with their partners will look like, and post the effect videos on TikTok to attract wider attention. This is the direct reason for the increase in downloads of Remini.

Testing offspring, age, and appearance after gender transformation is not a new function, and is common in many horoscope testing and fortune-telling apps.

But if you look at the latest version of Remini, you will find that the original function does not emphasize the "Baby AI generator", but a face-changing function that may have richer usage scenarios.

Users upload multiple clear frontal pictures, which may not necessarily be of the same person. After the picture is uploaded, the system will give you multiple choices, from gender, age, race to scene. After the user selects it, the system will usually take 3 minutes to draw the graph, or even longer. In order to maintain the user's patience, the system thoughtfully sets up a "reminder after completion" function.

In 3 minutes, the system will provide 6 completed pictures. If the user is not satisfied, they can continue to generate them.

Picture generated after selecting the little boy and the girl in wedding dress

Obviously, this function is more like the common "face replacement" nowadays. Compared with the previous entertainment functions in the Constellation App, Remini has better facial fit and stronger functions. In fact, it has more applicable scenarios. . For example, users can change faces to generate business-style photos for use in the workplace.

The great thing about Remini is that it chose the topic of “predicting future generations” that has been proven to attract attention, is more entertaining, and is easier to spread on social media to attract traffic to the App.

And since using this feature requires a subscription, Remini's revenue also increased significantly after the free 3-day trial period. From July 6 to July 12, Remini's dual-end revenue in the US exceeded $350,000.

Perhaps it is related to the influence of Remini. In recent days, many products with the gimmick of "predicting future generations" have appeared, but they do not seem to have copied the essence.

Under the premise that it is really easy to use, explaining a function to new users in a fancy way is probably the reason why Remini can continue to gain customers and its revenue has steadily increased.

This approach is not only used in the original market. Remini also uses this approach consistently when expanding into new markets. Here we have also put the previous analysis article on Remini’s ranking in Indonesia below. Readers who are interested/have not read it can jump to "

Recovering from An Computer Science Education

I was originally planning to refer to this as "Undoing the harm of the Computer Science Education," but that was too link-baity, and too extreme. A degree in computer science is extremely valuable. First, you can easily find jobs that pay well. Additionally, you've gained the ability to create amazing and useful things. There is a downside to this too. It's easy to get caught up in the theoretical and technical aspects that it's easy to forget that it is to make beautiful and useful items. It happened to me, and it took quite a while to recover.

This is a short list of things that helped me and could help you too.

Avoid technical forums unless it's directly related to something you're working on. It's easy to get caught in discussions about the value of functional programming or whether or whether Scheme can be used to create commercial applications or how terrible PHP is. You lose touch the more you get into this.

Keep working on real projects related to your field of interest. If you like designing games, write games. If you love photography write your own photo organizer or camera app. Don't make the mistake of thinking that "a photo organizer written in Haskell" is more important than "a photo organizer which solves a particular problem with photo organizers."

If you find yourself repeatedly putting down technology, then it's worth the effort to understand it and use it. Perl is a tremendously useful tool, despite the snide remarks and jokes. The same goes for PHP, Java and C++. Who is the winner who is the one who has been slamming Java on the internet for ten years or the author of Minecraft who just used the language and earned tens of millions of dollars?

Don't become an advocate. Minecraft This is a reverse of the previous point. If Linux, Android, or Scala can help in the creation of your project then that's great! That you're relying on it is a demonstration of its value. There's no need to make everyone else utilize it, too.

Focus on the end result and not the "how" of your passion. Woodworkers can transform into tool collectors. Photographers can be obsessed with the spec comparison. It is possible to forget all that and just focus on what you are creating.

Do something artistic. Write songs or short stories sketch, or learn to draw Pixel art. These projects also have a lower turnaround time than any other type of software.

Explore the wide range of books available. There are endless books about architecture, and books written by naturalists as well as popular and classic modern novels, and the majority of them have nothing to do with computers or programming or science fiction.

9 Benefits of using Tumblr

You've probably heard of Tumblr before, but have you ever considered using this blogging tool? Is it really worth it?

The site allows you to create blog posts, organize them into categories and share them with other users. The service is free but premium features (like custom themes) come at a cost.

"It may not seem like much, but Tumblr has a ton of benefits."

Here are 9 reasons why you should use Tumblr instead of Facebook and Twitter:

1. You can use Tumblr if you have no website.

If you’re just getting started with a business or idea, you could use Tumblr as your website until you’re ready to invest in one.

2. You will be able to customize your blog without having to learn code.

If you want to build a blog and don’t know how to code, Tumblr may be the best platform for you.

Creating a blog on Tumblr is quick and easy, so it’s perfect for beginners who don’t know much about coding or design.

3. You can create multiple blogs for free.

Once you sign up for a free account on Tumblr, you can create as many blogs as you want. This provides an advantage over WordPress, where there are costs associated with hosting multiple websites on their platform (or where there may be limits on how many websites you can create within one account).

4. You can post almost anything – text, photos, audio files and videos – directly from your phone or tablet with ease and without any programming skills required!

With its simple interface, posting content to Tumblr is easier than most other blogging platforms. As long as people have access to the internet, they can view content that has been posted on Tumblr. This means that anyone will be able to find content that has been created by someone else and post it back onto their own Tumblr page easily!

5. A wide variety of themes are available for free.

While WordPress requires some knowledge of coding before changing themes or adding customizations, Tumblr offers users a wide range of themes that they can choose from (and even change) without having any technical skills whatsoever!

And if there’s nothing quite right for what users need/want…they can always buy/create their own theme (or hire someone else to do it).

Other platforms such as Blogger/Blogspot also offer users pre-made templates/themes but none come close to offering the same number or variety of choices like Tumblr does!

6. Tumblr provides tools / features that make reblogging very easy!

Reblogging is essentially copying content from another user’s page and posting it onto your own page (with the original source still being credited).

The reblog feature is one of the things that makes Tumblr such a powerful tool for sharing information and ideas. When other Tumblr users, marketers, or bloggers reblog your content, this communicates to search engines that your content is valuable. It will then improve your ranking in Tumblr and Google search results.

7. Tumblr offers "dofollow" links.

This means that when you share content from another Tumblr blog on your own blog, the original author gets a "backlink" to their blog. Backlinks are important because they help improve the search engine ranking of the original author's blog.

8. Using Tumblr is that it's easy to go viral.

If you create a funny meme or post an interesting video on your Tumblr blog, it can quickly be shared by thousands of other users and become very popular. This can be a great way to get more exposure for your brand or website.

However the default URLs for your Tumblr posts will be long strings of numbers, which isn’t ideal for SEO. By clicking the gear-shaped icon in the top right of the post creator, you can create a custom URL ("permalink") for each individual post on your Tumblr account. Format these much like you would on your regular site as a best practice.

Plus providing easy-to-read permalinks is a simple way to improve your credibility and boost organic traffic because they show potential visitors that your page is safe and valuable. Plus, descriptive permalinks make it easier for search engines to categorize the pages on your blog because they will understand your content’s focus topic better.

9. Tumblr is also a great platform for social media marketing.

You can use hashtags to reach a wider audience, and you can also post links to your website or blog on your Tumblr posts. This can help increase traffic to your site and improve your search engine ranking.

Overall, Tumblr is a great blogging platform with many benefits. It's easy to use, it offers dofollow links, and it's a great way to reach a wider audience through social media marketing. So if you're looking for a new platform to start blogging on, be sure to check out Tumblr!
