Hey everyone. There's a new youtube feature that rolled out just yesterday that's raising some privacy concerns.

Expanding ways to share on YouTube

People in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Singapore can now share videos and chat with friends directly within the YouTube app. The update bring

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

Trimming the source id (the stuff after the '?' in links) will also prevent this from happening.

This spell has a very low hit ratio, so we need a lot of us to do it.

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[northwindow]

when i was reading the book entangled life which is about fungi and the author merlin sheldrake said that once he got his first author copies he was going to dampen the pages and use them to grow oyster mushrooms and yeast and then use the yeast to brew beer and then drink the beer with the mushrooms to complete the cycle of fungal knowledge. i was like really and truly this guy gets it

[im-not-trash-im-compost]

he ate his own words.

But really and truly. The cycle is not complete until he dies.

I’m not sure how or why, but this is goth as FUCK.

his brother cosmo is a musician and made a theme song for it and god I wish it was longer because it slaps

[ospreyonthemoon]

His brother cosmo's music is cool as fuck tbh. The sounds in that song? Made by running electrodes through mushrooms. He has songs where every single sound comes from the ocean- the sound of coral reefs growing, of otters, of icebergs. He has songs about pelicans. He's a fun musician!

[prokopetz]

I know that you mean the "bloop" sounds in the backing track were made by running electricity through a mushroom, but I'm fascinated by the implication that he ran electricity through a mushroom and those vocals are what came out.

man you know the sheldrake household must've been wild with these two growing up

Paws crossed chapter 1: Awkward Encounter

[xekstrin]

My boyfriend, again blending together fanfiction tropes: So what if when you finally find your soulmate, that’s when you discover if you’re alpha or omega, right?

Me, hands shaking as I frantically search for pen & paper: KEEP TALKING

[xekstrin]

Me: Seems hellish

Boyfriend: So does being an ant person

Me: Again, baby, they’re not ants

Boyfriend: YES THEY ARE. They communicate via pheromones— LIKE ANTS.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing….

Boyfriend: You could trick them into following orders and thinking they’re dead by spraying them with a spritz bottle. I think they need a queen.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing…. Seems hellish!

Boyfriend: Not really. If being around the other person is what triggers the changes, if you want to go back to normal… all you need to do is leave.

Me, writing: (You found your soulmate. It’s changing you in scary ways. All you need to do is leave… how difficult would it be to leave? What pressures exist to stay?)

Boyfriend: So these ant-people—

Me: OMEGAVERSE IS NOT ANTS!!!!!!

hahaha you guys remember when i made simon in a dress, well now grace has one to match

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

(actual lingerie below the cut)

simon is preparing to lick him

[alderthelizard]

Read this fic and my first thought was god ive just gotta draw those two in the lingerie and then I realized you drew the lingerie and I didn't have to rack my brain and figure out what it looked like myself I thank you and I apologize the sketch ain't quite done yet but here ya go friendo I haven't posted my art on here in ages

Also other more realistic studies i did on ryland first

[alderthelizard]

I love being an adult and expiencing things ive never even considered with friends cause we're all idiots and fucking around and I just got absolutely clowned on for having too much lettuce on my burger and uh I got sat on told swallow for daddy practically choking on the last bite. Wow craft night this friend group is called evil polycule for a reason. Thanks I never share anything my very young adult life is so very queer in multiple definitions of the word and also I fucking hate these guys.

[apufferfishy]

Okay so, i have been reading some (a lot) of BloodyMary fanfic and in most of them we see a somewhat nieve and reserved Grace and a more experienced and well lived Simon.

Now these are valid interpretations and i love them.

But i honestly think they are the complete opposite and i will stand by this.

Ryland "the last time a stranger game me a pill was in college" Grace, whose first response to a traumatic situation is to drink 3 bags of vodka, and once called someone a waste of carbon in a important convention, is not nieve and reserved in any sense of the word. He was that guy in college that showed up wasted for a presentation and still got a full grade. If you don't see him as Aroace, i could see him as a "friendly ley" kinda situation, he got around.

Simon "grew up in a cult" Ironlung, who drank rubbing alcohol because he did not know the difference, spent most of his 20s locked in prison, would not knowwhat to do with Grace. I will tell you, i would be very shocked if this man was not a blushing virgin for most things in live, he is rude, traumatized and often reacts with anger but this man has no experience with anything.
