A Shot for Life;

Non-Profit organizations have become very creative when it comes to asking for donations. No longer are people standing outside the grocery store with a can or bucket. Social media allows organizations to reach a greater audience with the click of a button. It also allows you to get creative asking for donations, promote events etc... However, if you are not using social media correctly, you are missing out on the advantages. Social media is crucial for nonprofits.  Nonprofit Tech For Good wrote of 5 big reasons why. A few being that it is accessible by billions of people, it is tailor made for your selective audience and it expands your fundraising resources.  

A non-profit that I have big interest in is A Shot For Life  

They are an organization that hosts competitive sporting events to help raise money for medical research. I did some deep diving into their socials and I'm going to break down their vanity metrics. I began with their instagram. They currently have 10.4k followers. In their last 15 posts there are a mix of reels and posts which is great variety. Based on their top 10 posts they average about 517 likes per post.  They do a great job at posting with college and professional athletes, getting their followers access to the content. I checked out their Facebook page next. They currently have 1.8K Likes and 1.9K Followers. That is quite a drop in followers if you compare platforms. Scrolling through their Facebook feed I did notice their posts are mostly photos. That being said the discrepancy in followers from Instagram to Facebook makes sense. Their last 33 posts have 0 likes, 0 comments and 0 shares. Their Facebook engagement is extremely low. The final platform that I explored was their X account  formally known as Twitter. On X, A shot for life has 3k followers. Their last ten posts have an average of .6 comments, 5.6 retweets and 19.3 likes. Like Facebook their X page does not have much activity or engagement. After going through their socials, I've come up with a few suggestions that I believe will help create more of an engagement opportunity for them. For starters on all platforms, A Shot for Life needs to have more hashtags. They hashtag their name but using trending topics that pertain to their cause or their event can bump their post. That'll give them a broader audience and hopefully draw in some engagement. My second suggestion is for all platforms as well. I noticed A Shot for Life does not tag the people in their post in pictures. When tagging others, your post shows up on their feeds and their friends feeds. This is a great way to reach an audience you typically wouldn't. I had not heard of A shot for life prior to this year. Someone I was friends with on Facebook shared her nieces post that has A Shot for life tagged. Had my friend never shared and tagged them I would have never seen their content.

I think we were too dramatic about Winry not having blonde hair in the remake. There were SO many more valid things to be dramatic about. Like the butchering of the story and the character assassination and also brownface Scar.

Saw this poll on a blog and thought I’d ask you as a fellow Harry fic writer - do you also somehow think that if you were to ever meet him you could pull him? For some unknown reason (maybe writing and reading too much fics has clouded my judgement) I genuinely think if I was to ever meet him there would be some kind of attraction between us - I know I guess the delusion is real on my part but oh well

OOOOOOO!!! Our dear @goldnrry coming in with the insightful questions!!!

Oof honestly?? I don't know?? Maybe not on face or body alone ASFL BUT I THINK MY HUMOR COULD PULL HIM IN, MAYBE?? I could crack some jokes, maybe talk about Big Mouth, share some music with him and I think maybe, maybe..........he might give me a text back!!!

Plus, I would keep his ego well-fed and I feel his narcissism would love to keep me around hehe

BUT I DEF THINK YOU COULD!!! AND I KNOW I'M BASING THAT ON JUST THE WAY YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTION but I feel like he loves honesty and humor and I def think he'd be hooked on you!!

[pixelllls]

your art is giving me so much dopamine right now that i would crush it up and snort it if i could. i LOVE the way you play with lighting and colours and asfl;kasfk;la i'm short circuiting. anyways i love your art

oh thank you so much!!! that's so nice of you to say! :')

3, 10, 22 for jakesyb and sybeli? (or dealer's choice!)

f;laskdfjads someday i'll get around to making banners now that i have two syb x canon character ships that make me want to eat drywall, anyway eeeeeeeeeee thank you liz~

JAKESYB

3. Do they wear the other's clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)

syb is a nasty dirty jacket/sweater thief and she looooooovees wearing her partner's clothes. i like to think that jacob has an army crewneck sweater that's fleece-lined and super soft that she absolutely loves (sorry not-sorry jacob. it's her sweater now), and her favorite set of "lingerie" is just a pair of panties and jacob's field jacket.

and asfl;akjsfdasdf syb's a little too uh...narrow for jacob to wear most of her clothing. altho i did just have the thought of the two of them owning the exact same iron maiden shirt (but in different sizes) that occasionally get mixed up in the wash so sometimes jacob is pulling on syb's unisex medium (which is comfortably baggy on her) and it's like he's wearing a tightly fitting crop top. meanwhile syb is using jacob's xl version of it as a sleep shirt

10. Describe their first date.

asdf;lkjasdf tbh in most universes jakesyb don't really date in the traditional sense. i joke that their first date (ie, an event that they mutually agree upon a time and place to meet) is a fistfight. they do have a snowed-in vacation at one point tho where they get pretty domestic so i guess that's kind of like a date....or at least as close as they get to one.

but in the no-cult "jakesyb country song romance au" they do actually have a proper first date. they're both at a church held party/celebration at joseph's church (augustine is a parishioner and dragged syb with him), and after both of them being super bored by how sterile the whole thing is, they decide to take off in jacob's truck, buy some beer, and they drive off into the mountains and just sit and stargaze. (they also fuck in the truck's bed, but most of the night is spent just chatting and pointing out things in the night sky

22. What reminds each of their partner?

ooooooh hmm....

wolves, obnoxious cherry red firearms, only you, the particular brand of Stupid that you get with guys who project alpha-male energy. but also late night chats over irish coffee (minus the sugar. it's just whiskey and black coffee) and cigarettes. the thrill of the hunt (as both the hunter and hunted). and the pleasurable ache of something pressing against a bruise are all things that remind syb of jacob

and rabbits/hares, bomber jackets that reek of stale cigarettes, late night war room talks, the thrill of the hunt (mostly as hunter but also sometimes as prey), absent minded humming (usually of old french songs), delicious warm and home cooked meals that aren't just baked chicken, rice and vegetables, the pleasant feeling of being challenged both physically and mentally are all things that remind jacob of syb

SYBELI

3. Do they wear the other's clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)

same as above, syb steals eli's jacket constantly, but to be fair, eli steals her bomber jacket right back. there will be days where they're walking around the wolf's den wearing each other's clothes and no one really bats an eye. I also think when it comes to T-shirts and some tanks, they can wear each other's shirts fairly interchangeably. syb likes baggier fits and i imagine eli more on the leaner muscle (but still very strong) end of the spectrum. unisex mediums and larges get passed around constantly.

10. Describe their first date.

ooooooh ok so in katc they're very much stuck in the "under literally any other circumstances we could have been such a good couple" zone, so here are the two answers i have for an alternate timeline and the werewolf au:

au syb went into the whitetails looking for augustine first instead of going into the valley: i think there's a lot of purely one on one time between them that happens quite often (usually in the form of war table strategy meetings or "can't sleep, guess i'll keep watch on the security cams" kinds of hanging out together), but none of those moments really register to them as dates. that's just the "friends" bit in their "friends to lovers" arc. what they consider their first date is when they were out together on a scouting mission. they narrowly escape an ambush and crash at a safe house for the rest of the night because they're both injured. but they also have their first kiss while patching each other up. they pass out on the couch together immediately afterwards.

in the werewolf au syb and eli's first date is straight up a bbq challenge. like...unofficially an actual competition but waaaaaay more people showed up to the joke flyer wheaty put up at the spread eagle so they accidentally ended up grillmastering a proper event (sponsored by the spread eagle). eli won but syb put up a damn good fight. she had the superior grilled chicken/shrimp/fish, and eli had the better red meats/wild game. they were both lowkey worried their competitiveness was a turn off for the other, but actually it suuuuuuper wasn't :)

22. What reminds each of their partner?

short answers because i'm still kinda developing their relationship BUT:

bow hunting, woodland camo and whitetail deer. really good wild game recipes, long hikes and camping trips (and scouting missions) all remind syb of eli

and sweet tea on a hot day and cold beer on a hot evening. the smell (and taste) of stale cigarettes. the burn of bourbon as it goes down all remind eli of syb

(same anon who asked abt ur thought on rafayel) im asking more specifically abt ur first impression of him bcus once u start reading more on his lore it shows a completely different side to him and its soo interesting and im so excited that ur getting into LnD AAAAAHHH

lol didn't see this ask until after but yessssssss I'm getting into LnD; mostly still a caleb girlie, but games like these always have their ways to seem cute and fun on the surface but then hit you with like. shocking.

tho any semblance of that illusion in my mind got shattered with the catch-22 event. why? because we're a fucking police officer who has to be enjoying putting these half naked men through interrogation and stuff. ok ik it's mostly for us players and stuff and like yea ik interrogation in general is pretty hot but like uhhhh i can't ever enjoy it because then i think about the military industrial complex you know. case in point: that illusion mask especially would make military people cream their pants right then and there.

i also was able to get caleb's catch-22 card (lucky! because i doubt I'll have enough to get another 5 star from the event lmao; happy i won the 50/50 or 25/25/25 tho, FUCK YEA) and read that memory, and like...no, i wouldn't say it's dark and grungey or anything, but hello??? that ending stretch??? that shit was kinda dark ig. and then there's the sylus bad ending where he just FUCKIGN DIES. WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK BRO. l;jaa;sjfl;asfl;sadjfsa;lfjal;sfdjasfa i almost don't wanna read zayne raf and xavier's now bc i fear they'll end like sylus...i feel with caleb it was at least bearable bc like. y know. cages and stuff already go well with him and feralness and all that jazz but still. l;ajfdl;kafl;kasjfl;kajfl;sajfl;asjfl;sajflksa;jfl;sajfdl;sajf;da s;d

now that you've warned me i will be scared of raf lore in particular. broskis what kinda emotional trauma am i gonna get sent on

she fumbled so bad like ion even understand. it's embarrassing asfl for her to even mention she married mj. now ppl gonna see her newest ex husband and she gonn look like a clown. girl I bet ppl on the Internet told her when she was alive, how badly she fumbled.

Michael Dean Lockwood (born May 22, 1961) is an American guitarist and producer. He is best known for having been married to Lisa Marie Presley, and for producing and performing with her, Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, and others.

- Best known for having been married to Lisa Marie Presley. I'm crying.

Bestie she was still liking MJ posts and pictures when she was married to Lockwood 😭 we’d catch her doing it all the time. She also would always talk to fans about him lmfao like … she was still in love with him long after he died

Hi 👋 Can i request 43. “Frost the damn cupcakes.” with Santi or Nathan please? Thx 🙏

Sugar

AN: Thanks so much for your request, nonnie (and also for your patience, ugh, I'm so sorry this took so long). Apparently it is a HC for me that Santi makes great arepas bc this is the second time I’ve mentioned it lol (also, apologies again if the Spanish is terrible/wrong. I tried but I am regrettably not a native speaker).

(Un-beta'd)

Rated: T Words: 894 Pairing: Santiago “Pope” Garcia x GN!Reader Warnings: fluff fluff fluff, kissing, butt pinching, playful teasing, Santi being bad at something, possibly terrible writing. AO3

———

Santiago Garcia is a fantastic cook. You’ve watched him make the most difficult dishes with ease, throwing ingredients together in a way that looks like a chaotic, unintelligible mess only to result in some of the most deliciously beautiful food you’ve ever had in your life. Plus, his arepas? To die for. The man can even bake, the heavenly scent of his cookies and pies permeating every square inch of your home and making your mouth water.

Unfortunately, he can’t decorate cupcakes to save his life.

It’s not like he hasn’t tried, hasn’t spent hours tediously piping and spreading frosting. He even watched a video on YouTube once but, for whatever reason, he just can’t get the technique down. He spent years in the service being one of the best in his field, and it kills him that he can’t figure out how to do something that should be so simple.

Naturally, you tease him for it. Mercilessly. Helps keep him humble.

“Querida,” he calls from the kitchen, frustration evident in his tone.

You bite back a smile, putting down the book you’ve been pretending to read. “Yeah?”

There’s a loud clang as he drops something on the counter, followed by a muttered curse. “Can you come in here, please.”

You smile, rising to your feet with a stretch. “Coming.”

His aggravation is palpable when you enter, rolling off him in waves. You say nothing as you fall into place beside him, shoulder pressing against his.

“Go ahead, say it.”

“Say what?” 

He shoots you a sour look, raising an eyebrow as he braces his hands on the countertop.

“Don’t play dumb, it doesn’t suit you.”

You smother a smile, studying the batch of half-frosted cupcakes sitting on the counter before you. They are, to put it mildly, a trainwreck.

“Wow, babe,” you say, cringing as you shoot him a sideways glance. “What exactly were you going for here?”

Six of the twelve cupcakes are slathered with just a little too much pale pink frosting with uneven globs of green, white, and yellow.

“Are these supposed to be flowers?” you continue, leaning in to inspect the cupcake closest to you.

“They’re daisies,” Santiago grumbles. “Thought Frankie’s kid would like ‘em.”

Something in your chest warms at his words and you decide to throw him a bone.

“Hey, this one’s not…terrible,” you offer, pointing at one of the cupcakes.

He shoots you a look. “Don’t patronize me.”

“I’m not!”

“You are.”

He stares at you in silence for a moment, and you try to look innocent, but you know he can probably tell how amused you are by this.

He sighs, holding a spatula out to you. “Can you please just fix them?”

You take the spatula, leaning your hip against the counter as you turn to face him. “Maybe. For a price.”

He scoffs, looking at you in mild exasperation. “What price?”

You pretend to consider your options for a moment before tapping your lips with a playful smile. “Gimme some sugar.”

There is a pause as he looks at you, his gaze softening a little as it roves your face. He snorts, taking a step into your space and pressing you back against the counter with his body. A giddiness swells in your chest when his hands come up to cradle your face, his lips brushing yours teasingly as he hovers.

“I don’t have all day, Garcia,” you whisper, raising a challenging eyebrow at him.

He sniffs, amusement in his eyes as he leans in to press his mouth to yours. When he does, you sigh, hands twisting in the fabric of his shirt in an effort to somehow bring him closer. He smiles against your lips, angling your head as he languidly licks into your mouth, his tongue hot as it slides against yours. He pulls away after a moment, smile widening when you chase his lips. 

“We square?” he asks, hands falling to rest on your hips.

“Hmm, you know,” you begin airily, snaking your arms around his waist. “I think I’m gonna need a little more, I mean, there are twelve cupcakes here, baby.”

His chuckle is low and warm as it vibrates against your chest. “How many then? One for every cupcake? Because that could take a while.”

You smile, chewing your bottom lip as you consider. “Give me one more now and I’ll collect the rest later.”

“Deal,” he hums, leaning in to press his lips to yours again.

The warm, soft slide of his lips makes your chest ache, and you whine when he pulls away far sooner than you’d like. He rests his forehead against yours, breath fanning against your skin in light puffs as you allow yourselves a moment to just enjoy being close to each other.

“Te amo, cariño” he mumbles, nuzzling his nose against yours.

You smile at him sweetly, leaning in to press a kiss to his stubbled cheek.

“Yo también,” you breathe, pulling back a little to meet his gaze, a teasing glint in your eyes. “Mi pastelito.”

He rolls his eyes, releasing you from his hold. “Don’t call me that.”

“Don’t tell me what to do,” you retort, your brows raising challengingly at him as you turn back to the counter.

He grunts, pinching your ass in retaliation, your surprised yelp making him smirk. 

“Just frost the damn cupcakes.”
