Yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing maya ongaku perform live here in #Vigo. If you don't know this hypnotic Japanese trio, I recommend spending some time with their music in a pleasant location :miomusic: tidal.com/track/379768502/u
Cover of the album Approach to Anima by maya ongaku, signed by the three band members

Hoje foi dia da Candeloria, quando os passarinhos se casam :chick_heart: #galiza
REFRÁNS POLO DÍA DA CANDELORIA

Se a Candelaria empola, o inverno vai fóra

Se a Candelaria vén mal, o inverno está caroal

Pola Candeloria pón a pita vella e a nova

Cando a Candeloria chora medio inverno vai fóra que chore, que deixe de chorar

a mitá do inverno está por pasar

Se a Candelaria chora, o inverno xa vai fóra. Se a Candelaria ri, o inverno está por vir; pero que ría e que cante hai inverno para tras e para diante

ORGULLO GALEGO

Ghostwriter de Linkedin para CEOs...

1d



A minha amiga Andreia sempre foi muito específica sobre o tipo de homens com quem saía.

Engenheiros? Perfeito.

Economistas? Fantástico.

Até que conheceu o David.

O David trabalhava no Carrefour. Secção de frutas e legumes.

Quando me contou, quase cuspi o café. Não por ele trabalhar no Carrefour, mas por ela, com os seus critérios de casting tão rígidos, ter quebrado as próprias regras.

Tu? Com o David?!

Ela encolheu os ombros, meio envergonhada:

Eu sei, mas ele faz-me rir. E é boa pessoa.

Durante meses, vi-a feliz, mas aquilo era mais forte do que ela.

Passado uns meses, deu-me a notícia:

Vou acabar com o David. Ele trabalha no Carrefour disse, como se isso justificasse o que quer que fosse.

A minha mãe diz que não é pessoa para mim, e ela tem razão.

Anos depois, cruzei-me com o David num supermercado.

Curiosamente, não era o Carrefour.Já não trabalho no Carrefour- disse-me ele.

A sério? perguntei.

Sim. Tirei um curso de aviação comercial e trabalho numa empresa de aviação. Está a correr bem, já fui promovido e adoro o que faço.

BAM!

Saí dali com os meus sacos de compras e a certeza de que a Andreia enfiou o David na caixa do rapaz das frutas e legumes e nunca o deixou sair de lá.

Isto é exatamente o que acontece contigo no Linkedin.

Foste "o gestor de projetos", "a copywriter de e-commerce", "o consultor de IT".

Entretanto, mudaste de área, mas a tua audiência continua alinhada com o que fazias antes. Por isso, os clientes certos não chegam.

Se estás nessa fase, só te posso dizer isto: o conteúdo pode ser o teu maior aliado. Mas não resolves a situação só com uma headline nova.

Vais ter de:

- Publicar com frequência

- Criar conteúdo que explique a transição

Repetir a tua nova tese mais vezes do que gostarias

Educar o algoritmo e a audiência

- Atrair nova audiência (e filtrar a antiga)

- Comentar em posts de pessoas da nova área (para atrair os olhos certos).

The real story isn’t young men supposedly voting far right. It’s what young women are up to | Cas Mudde | The Guardian www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2… #politics #malegaze #women #farright #vote
Print screen from the article: highlighting "This is not just an academic question: it is a political opportunity", "Focusing on the priorities and values of female voters (such as actions to fight the climate crisis and strengthen the welfare state)" and "we would talk more about combating the climate crisis, for instance, and spend less time demonising immigrants. Second, it gives young women a reason to come out and vote in larger numbers, which is significant, as “young women abstain from voting more than young men do”"

Flowers are my favourite gift, but this has to be a close second #scifi #williamgibson
White hand with cyan painted nails holding a copy of William Gibson's "Burning Chrome". The cover of the book is in dark tones with orange and yellow, a collage of high-rise buildings with sharp angles. The cover reads "From the award winning author of the Necromancer" and a quote from the Guardian "Furiously inventive, brilliantly written, the cutting edge of SF".
On the background, behind the book, you can see a light wall, dark wood furniture and flowers.
