Hey, Tumblr.

Today is May 1. The first day of Mental Health Month. This entire month we want to nudge all of you to celebrate triumphs, acknowledge struggles, and just come together. Let other people know they’re not alone. Feel less alone yourself. It’s what Post it Forward is all about.

One of the incredible ways you—all of you—have helped shape Tumblr is with your ability to be open and honest. It was you that turned this platform into a community, one based on genuine expression, creativity, and acceptance.

Neat. How can I participate?

Glad you asked! Each week, for all four weeks, we’ll be giving you ideas for ways to Post it Forward.

Week 1—Post it for you: How you practice self-care and personal well-being.

Week 2—Post it for each other: Ways you can be there for each other.

Week 3—Post it for reflection: Sharing stories of personal growth and development.

Week 4—Post it for the future: Committing to continuous reflection and improvement.

This week is all about posting for you. Acts of self-care. Here are some places to start:

Post an emoji spell for self-care and positivity. 🌈 🔮 💕 🌱

Share a photo or GIF of something that calms you down. Don’t have one? Here’s one.

What’s the one thing that always cheers you up? Post a photo of it, take a GIF, or illustrate it. Toss a sticker on it, if you’d like.

Never forget that you are valid! Post a selfie with “valid” sticker (see below).

Make a list of things you like about yourself.

Make a checklist of 5 acts of self-care you promise to do for yourself this week.

Make an audio post with a song that helps you zone out and re-energize.

Don’t forget to tag all your posts with #postitforward this month! It makes it easier for everyone to find each other’s contributions.

What else?

We’ve asked our pal Tumblrbot (@tumblrbot) to help out with any extra encouragement you might need. Try sending them messages like “tell me about Mental Health Month” or “what’s this week’s prompt?” Tumblrbot will let you know what’s up, because Tumblrbot is a friend to all of us.

טוב, זה ללא ספק האירוע המשמעותי ביותר של 2016 בתחום האפליקציות, המשחקים ויש יאמרו בכלל בעולם הטכנולוגיה. המשחק פוקימון גו שהחזיר לחיים את הפוקימונים הידועים וחיבר אותם לעולם העדכני בתצורת יכולות מציאות רבודה (Augmented Reality) , שימוש בכלי הניווט של הטלפון ואלמנטים נהדרים של משחקיות. המשחק כבר שבר שיאי הורדות מכל הסוגים, והשווי של נינטנדו

בוקר יום ראשון. אחרי זמן ארוך מדי, פוסט חדש בבלוג, וגם לוק חדש לאור השינויים. הפעם סקירה על שאלת התרומה או הנזק של פוקימון גו לבריאות השחקנים. קריאה נעימה!

Why suggesting social media managers should be below 25 is stupid - New Media and Marketing

Someone, who obviously is not thinking clearly, suggested that social media managers need to be under 25 in order to really understand social media marketing. I have always believed that age should not be a factor in hiring someone to do a job it should be determined by who the hell can do the best job. …

You Think "KOL" is a Toxic Term? What About "KSOL?"

See on Scoop.it - E-Pochondriac

Q: How do you send a room full of seasoned pharmaceutical industry types diving under their desks and voluntarily autodefenestrating? (For those of you without pointlessly obscure vocabularies, that is the process of throwing oneself out of a window.)

KSOLs Heard of a KOL? Of course you have, so what is a KSOL? Easy; a 'key social opinion leader'. These are people who have influence over and within a particular conversation topic. It might surprise you to hear that there are specific KSOLs in almost every significant therapy area in modern medicine. This means that a small group of people can be driving an entire conversation that periodically involves thousands of people.

There are specific KSOLs in almost every significant therapy area in modern medicine

How do we find KSOLs? There is software available to help you do this in a quick and dirty way, but for a more intelligent and in-depth search you need human interpretation. In a recent project, emotive identified a group of 12 European KSOLs within a specific therapy area who collectively had more than one million social media followers – significant power and clearly a group of people worth supporting.

It is impossible to write an article about social media in healthcare communications without talking about compliance – so here it is; 'compliance'. Done.

Only joking. Yes compliance is important, yes there are definitely things you cannot do, but there are also things you can. The best tip we can give you in a short piece of this nature is stop thinking about social media as 'content' and think of it as 'platform'. You have never been able to make off-label claims or give patients advice about their treatment, but you have always been able to talk to patients about disease awareness, and so it is with social media – content is king and the rules about content have not changed. We are not saying that social media comes without risks, that would be disingenuous, but with the right people supporting your efforts (and the right project justifying the tactic!) you can safely navigate the risks with the potential bounty of a viral campaign (a slightly unfortunate term for healthcare communications).
