hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. typically, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.

humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!

Steve and Eddie who kind of flop in life and end up poor, living in a trailer in a different small town living quiet lives of no import.

The kids, Robin, Nancy, and Johnathan all seem to take the small handful of opportunities offered to them by the government in the aftermath of the Upsidedown to take off and make something of their lives. They're off writing headlines, making news, and living their lives to the best of their abilities, but Steve and Eddie find themselves stuck.

Steve stayed in Hawkins until the kids graduated and left for college. By then Nancy, Johnathan, and Robin are all in their second or third years of college. John and Nancy have their own apartment in New York together and don't reach out all that often, only seeing the rest of the Hawkins crew on Holidays and some vacations. Robin is flourishing at an all-women's college in Maine and has a partner and a cat and plans for graduate school brewing. She's always saying Steve can come out and join her whenever he's ready, but when the time comes it feels like he would just be trying to insert himself in the middle of a life he doesn't know how to fit into, so he turns to Eddie instead.

Eddie is permanently disabled in a number of ways following the events of season four. He struggles with chronic pain, has breathing issues due to the loss of part of his right lung, and lost enough muscle mass in his left leg that walking will never be easy or done without the use of a walker or arm bar crutches. The doctors said he recovered as well as he could have. The kids said he would get better with time. Wayne said it didn't matter if he never got better, he could do anything he set his mind to.

Steve is the only person who tells him the truth.

Steve tells him that it sucks. Tells him that it will probably always hurt. Doesn't give him false hope when he's trying to grieve the loss of the life he wanted to live. The goals he wanted to reach. When he falls deeper and deeper into himself, stuck in the muck of depression, Steve is the only person he lets in. The kids try their best but their lives are moving fast, and taking care of someone like Eddie is exhausting, no matter what they try to say. Eventually, everyone but Dustin gives up on reaching out, the younger boy showing up every Sunday to try and get Eddie out of the house. He always leaves disappointed.

When Steve asks him if he wants to use what's left of their partly government payouts and Steve's equally meager Family Video savings to buy a truly shitty trailer in a town an hour and a half south of Hawkins in the fall of 1990, it feels like the first boon he's been given in almost five years. He'll never be who he could have been if he had ignored Chrissy that day in 86', but he's always thought maybe he could be more than a ghost between Wayne's walls if he could just get out of this god-forsaken town full of people who know too much and too little of what's happened to him.

They get the trailer, pack what little they have, let Wayne hug them close, and leave.

Steve has already transferred to their new town's Family Video, moving up to claim the dubious honor of being the opening manager. Mostly he just unlocks the door, signs into the computer, and makes sure nothing catches fire. Eddie hoped that moving would miraculously make him fit to enter back into the world, but he spends most of his days with a blanket on the front porch, watching people pass by. He does, though, finally accept that he needs to apply for disability to help Steve keep the lights on and the water hot. That last little bit of hope that he could be what he used to be dies, but he's learning to be content with what he does have. He starts taking a walk, just ten minutes around the loop of the trailer park saying hi and trading polite nods with his fellow residents. He's not ok, but he's starting to build a new community of people not too different from himself.

The new trailer only has one bedroom. Eddie sleeps on a fold-out mattress in the living room. It had been a major argument when they first moved in with Steve insisting that Eddie needed the bed. Eddie argued that it wasn't fair for him to take the room when Steve was the one working 40 hours a week to keep them afloat. In the end, Eddie was the more stubborn of the two. It helps that Eddie has absolutely no qualms about crawling into bed with Steve on the nights when the couch bed really won't cut it for his aching body. Steve never questions it, just shuffles over a little and lets the other man in.

Steve doesn't question a lot of stuff.

He doesn't question when all their effects are shared between them with no effort to distinguish between yours and mine, Eddie's and Steve's. He doesn't question it four months in when Eddie starts to get his feet under him and decides to take up cooking, always trying his best to have everything done just as Steve walks through the door. He doesn't question when a good chunk of Eddie's first disability check goes to buying Steve a sturdy, if not very fashionable, new watch for his birthday since his old one went bust almost a year ago.

He doesn't question it when Eddie holds his hand for the first time under the stars hanging above their front porch.

He doesn't question it when Eddie introduces him to one of his new neighbor friends with a hand resting comfortably on his lower back

He doesn't question it when Eddie starts sleeping in the bedroom every night.

Or makes him box mix cupcakes for Valentine's Day.

Or kisses him for the first time on the couch that's never a bed unless they want to spend the day binge-watching bargain bin films.

Because really, isn't this how it was always going to go? Wasn't this exactly what Steve was asking for when he asked Eddie to skip town with him?

Isn't this what Eddie was hoping for when he said yes?

Beyond Borders: Exploring Syndicated Content Through Examples

Introduction

In the dynamic world of digital marketing and content distribution, syndicated content has emerged as a potent strategy to amplify reach, enhance brand visibility, and foster engagement. This blog explores the concept of syndicated content and provides diverse examples of how businesses and content creators are effectively utilizing it to achieve their goals.

 Understanding Syndicated Content

Syndicated content refers to the practice of republishing or sharing existing content on external platforms beyond the original source. The goal is to expose the content to a broader audience by leveraging the distribution capabilities of other websites, publishers, or platforms. This approach offers several advantages, including increased visibility, wider reach, and the potential to tap into new and engaged audiences.

 Syndicated Content Examples

 1. Guest Blogging

A common form of syndicated content is guest blogging. In this scenario, a content creator writes an article or blog post for another website or blog within their industry niche. The host website benefits from fresh and valuable content, while the contributor gains exposure to a new audience and the opportunity to establish themselves as an industry expert.

 2. Content Aggregator Websites

Content aggregator websites curate and share content from various sources on a particular topic. These platforms gather relevant articles, news, and insights from different publishers and present them to their audience. Businesses can benefit from syndicating their content to these platforms, as it positions them in front of readers actively seeking information within their industry.

 3. Social Media Sharing

Social media platforms provide an ideal environment for syndicating content. Businesses can share their articles, videos, infographics, and other resources on their social profiles to reach their existing followers. Additionally, if the content resonates with the audience, followers may further share it, amplifying its reach and potentially attracting new followers.

 4. Online Publications and Industry Portals

Many online publications and industry-specific portals accept syndicated content submissions. Contributing articles to these platforms can establish a brand's authority within a particular niche, as they reach a concentrated audience of professionals seeking specialized insights.

 5. Podcast and Webinar Collaborations

Syndicated content isn't limited to written materials. Podcasts and webinars are excellent mediums for collaboration. By participating as a guest on another podcast or webinar, content creators can share their expertise with a new audience, while the host benefits from valuable insights to share with their listeners.

 6. Content Partnerships

Content partnerships involve collaborating with other businesses or organizations to co-create and distribute content. This approach can include joint blog posts, eBooks, videos, or other resources that provide a holistic perspective and draw from the expertise of multiple parties.

 7. Press Releases

Syndicating press releases on platforms that specialize in disseminating news can amplify the reach of important announcements. This approach ensures that your news reaches relevant journalists, bloggers, and industry professionals.

 8. Email Newsletters

Email newsletters are an effective way to syndicate content directly to your subscribers. By sharing curated articles, updates, and resources, businesses can nurture their audience and keep them engaged with valuable insights.

 9. YouTube Collaboration Videos

YouTube collaborations involve content creators from different channels working together on a video project. This cross-promotion can expose both channels to new subscribers and viewers, expanding their reach within the platform.

 10. Influencer Partnerships

Influencer partnerships enable marketers to reach their existing audiences. Influencers can create content, such as product reviews that features your offerings and promotes them to their followers.

PRECIOUS!!!! THEM!!!! LOVE THEM!!!!

[phantobats]

My favorite headcanon is that Bruce manages to match all of his kids in their hobbies and encourages their pursuit of them.

Dick teaches him any acrobatic moves he hadn't known before and Bruce eventually becomes his spotter, allowing him to try tricks and routines that allow his body to go all out, knowing that someone is there to catch him if he falls.

Jason picks up his love for reading by spending time in the library inside the manor with Bruce. He introduces him to some of his favorite books and their nights are spent with Bruce reading out a few pages before Jason falls asleep. The mornings are then used to discuss the book and its topics, refining Jason's literacy and ability to analyze information and knowledge.

Tim is encouraged by Bruce to keep up his photography ventures, just by his side. He shows him prime and secret spots during their quieter moments on patrol, contently listening to Tim explain his process. He even gifts Tim his father's old camera, fixing it up so that Tim can use it for more experimental shots.

Bruce picked up the skill of drawing from his mother and Damian seems to share the same talent. Together they practice different art styles until Damian finds the one that feels the most natural, adding museum visits to their studies as they allow Damian to get better educated about different art epochs.

As a Wayne it is important to have knowledge of ballroom dancing, so when Cassandra shows an interest in dancing, her and Bruce try out different ballroom dances. Bruce also makes sure to attend each of her performances, showering her with praise afterwards.

im not a fan of modern merthur but the idea of them meeting in modern times and introducing themselves to each other and them laughing and bonding over their names being connected to the myth of king arthur and camelot is just so cute

Last year I made a post headcanoning that Chuuya was the one to bring Kajii into the mafia after the Laughing Lemon incident and now I am back with evidence.

It's tradition in the Port Mafia to give a new recruit an article of your own clothing when inviting them into the mafia. Famous example being Mori gives Dazai his coat, and Dazai gives Akutagawa his coat in turn.

So with that in mind, if Chuuya brought Kajii in, he would have given him something as well. Only Kajii 5'11" and Chuuya is 5'2", so Chuuya's clothes wouldn't exactly fit Kajii.

But do you know what they both wear?

That's right! Stupid fashion belts that serve no actual purpose!

I rest my case!

♨ Kolkai giggled to herself as she stepped into the clearing. “Oh my my! What have we here? Is this where you have found for our camp tonight?” @thecrystalchoreographer

The knight was a bit shocked as Kolkai approached and caught him in the springs. After seeing it was his companion, though, he'd let out a small sigh of relief before chuckling. "Heh, you gave me quite a startle there Kolkai. I found this hot spring and decided to test it out before going back to get you. If you'd like, we can enjoy the springs before we set-up camp," He'd suggest while sinking a little deeper into the springs, a small blush across his face.
