A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.

[endreams-s]

Serial Killer: metaphorically, if you were to kill someone, how would you do it?

Writer: Air shot between the toes, it’ll look like a heart attack.

Serial Killer who is obviously in love already: *sucks in a breath* ok

[honeypressed]

Writer: how long would it take to die if you were to potentially stab someone in the guts

Serial killer: anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes

Writer, already bringing a ring out: *shaking* thanks

The older I get the more fiercely protective I get of younger girls. I was heading into work yesterday and I saw that 12 year old (I mentioned her before, the one who wore makeup) talking to this older man. She’s normally really bubbly but she looked a little more subdued talking to him so I go over and loudly say “Hey sweetheart, who’s this?” And the guys just glares at me and she says “oh um his name is Justin.” And I’m like “Hi Justin, how do you know her?” And he gets nervous and is like “I just saw her jogging and thought I’d give her pointers.” So I just kinda tilted my head and looked at him for a minute. He literally asked me “are you a cop or something? I haven’t done anything wrong.” So I took her to the McDonald’s near by, bought her something and had a talk about not talking to strangers. Low key I’m debating the next time I see her parents (they drop her off at the gym and leave her there for hours) to maybe have a talk with them or something. Idk if it’s my place tho

[gluten-free-pussy]

Just to add because some messaged me saying that I was being a nosey bitch: so a woman who used to go to my gym (and my same university. Like I used to see her at my job and on campus) actually went missing not far from my intersection (literally a 5 min walk away from the major intersection) on may 10 and they found her body literally last week (June 19). Everyone has been on high alert lately so when I saw this random dude talking to this little girl, my brain immediately went into defence panic mode. So yeah call me nosey if you want

[parttimepup]

This world could use more nosey b*tches.

[cocksmasher69]

I’ll stop being a nosey bitch when males stop being predators

[monarda-fistulosa-deactivated20]

Always be a nosy bitch where young girls are concerned. Always be a nosy bitch where creepy old men are concerned

[ruby-white-rabbit]

His first reaction was to go on the defensive and ask if she was a cop. HE WAS UP TO NO GOOD AND KNEW IT. That girl he was talking to was 12. TWELVE.

Be a nosey bitch til the day you die. No regrets.

just get a VPN?

[earth-ruins]

You can’t just tell people to ‘get a VPN (Virtual Private Network)’. Buying a VPN is like buying a house. It’s very very important. Having no VPN or having a ‘wrong’ one can seriously damage your life. Especially for Americans because their privacy laws are garbage. I am going to try explain why you should get a VPN but bare with me, I am from Germany and my English is far from perfect. 

Let’s start with a simple test. Click this link here: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ It will tell your IP adres, your ISP (internet service provider), and your location. The location might not be very accurate, but then again, it’s just a simple website. Imagine what the government can do!

So basically, everyone can find out where you live. But there is more danger. Your ISP. Your ISP logs your every move online and they are required to keep it in case the government wants access to it (or if a 3rd party wants to buy your data (yikes). They have everything. What websites you visit. How long you stay on a website. What you download. Your search terms. European laws are more subtle on this but if you are from the US you are #@*#&, especially because Trump doesn’t support the open internet. It’s scary but maybe in the future you can’t get a job because the recruiter knows your searched on ‘how to deal with depression’ or anythings else that’s supposed to be private because it’s your f*cking right. Or you get a $100k fine because you pirated a movie 15 years ago. You need a VPN. You’re dumb for not using one. but what does a VPN do?

A VPN encrypts all your data so if it were be intercepted no one can ‘crack the code’ and damage your privacy. 

Usually being online goes like this (simplified): Your computer —-> ISP (—–> keeps data —–> sells it)

But with a VPN it goes like: Your computer —–> VPN (encrypts data)—–> ISP (ISP can’t see shit)

Furthermore, a VPN hides your IP address and location by giving you another IP address located in Spain for example (you can often choose from a list and change as many times as you want).  

Now that you know why you should get a VPN and what is does it is important to educate yourself because people often choose the wrong VPN. VPN providers are also businesses and have to obey the law. If you choose a VPN provider located in the US then you are throwing your money away because the laws in the US shits on your privacy. If the US gov wants the provider to give all their logs they have to obey.  The ISP  still can’t see what you are doing online and sell your data but the US gov can interfere with your VPN provider so NEVER CHOOSE A PROVIDER LOCATED IN THE US. 

I just wanted to make that very clear so my followers don’t buy false security.

There is still more danger!  Who says your VPN provider isn’t selling your data? You need to check their logging policy. Do they keep logs? If yes, what for? For how long do they keep them? Tip: Choose a provider who doesn’t keep logs

More about law  The US is part of the Five Eyes program (the worst):  

The Five Eyes, often abbreviated as FVEY, is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are bound by the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence (source)

There is also a Nine Eyes (bit better) and Fourteen Eyes Program (better).  You don’t want a VPN provider who is located in one the Five Eyes countries.  If you had to choose go for a provider located in a country that’s part of the Fourteen Eyes Program or even better, go for a country that isn’t part of any program! 

I know this is a shitty explanation and please pardon my english but now it’s time to do your own research. Take your privacy seriously. Maybe WWIII breaks out and you get killed for liking the ‘wrong’ FB-page.  

Go to this website: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/simple-vpn-comparison-chart/

Make sure that your future VPN provider both has green boxes for Privacy Jurisdiction and Privacy Logging. 

I recommend ovpn.se and trust.zone. ovpn is located in Sweden so they are part of the 14 Eyes Program and they keep minimal logs. Their business ethics, however, are alright. 

Trustzone is located in the Seychelles. No country can interfere and their privacy jurisdiction is the best you can get. The US want your data but needs to get it from Trustzone? The Seychelles will simply give them the finger and wave them goodbye. However, this makes this provider very appealing for people who torrent and criminals because they keep no logs (and that is how it shoud be) Also,  there are almost no marketing efforts so this provider is one the cheapest)

Also, often providers such as ExpressVPN are being called ‘The Best’ on websites about VPNs but know that this is just marketing which also makes those provider more expensive (and they too shit on your privacy)

This must be the worst article you have ever read but please, please take your privacy very seriously.

EDIT: I got many people asking me which provider I use. For those who want to know, I use Trust Zone. They offer a free 3-day trial with no strings attached. But still do your own research! 

[writing-prompt-s]

I am also with Trustzone but I think you forgot to explain one of it’s most important features. It protects you when you are using someone else’s Wi-Fi. If you are at Starbucks and you use their Wi-Fi your privacy is at risk. Anyone with ill intentions could steal your information. Especially if you are using an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. With a VPN your data gets encrypted so no one can steal it. 

[rabbittiddy]

Wait, what’s going, on? Did trump destroy internet privacy with a bill or something? Where’s the news? Oh wait, why am I getting visions of Alex Jones and selling water purifiers?

[thecrystalfems]

He hasn’t yet but he says he wants to. And if he is serious about it it would be really easy to do. Since all our data is already recorded, as the person above explained.

[coltrer]

Trump wants more surveillance of Muslim Americans. This in a country where internet privacy is already close to non-existent. 

Trust.Zone has a free trial. Use it. 

btw this post only has 11k notes? That’s quite disappointing for something this important. 

Don’t reblog this post to save a life. Reblog this to protect an entire family!

[imthedoctor12]

@earth-ruins @writing-prompt-s Should I get trustzone for my mobile device?

[writing-prompt-s]

If you use public Wi-Fi, then yes. Which VPN you use is up to you, amigo. Take @earth-ruins advice. Do your own research first. 

[writing-prompt-s]

@elvesfromthedeep​ just brought the current situation in the US to my attention (March 30, 2017).

To all my friends in the US, please read this entire post. Making everyone aware of VPNs is going to be my mission. Your privacy matters. Please reblog this post.

[greeneyespurpleheart]

Don’t tell me you just wanted to scroll past this. Stop looking at pictures of cats for a moment, okay? Don’t you realize how important this is? This is dangerous! ‘America, the best FREE country in the world’ my ass.

With this new law your ISP can sell your Internet history which could include passwords, usernames, religion, credit card numbers, race and much more to the highest bidder. So here is what I want you to do. You are going to read the whole thing and before you think ’this is so important. Let me reblog this real quick and go back to admiring cats again-’ NO! Don’t reblog this. Take action first. Then reblog. Sign up for a free trial! Trust.Zone offers one (here). Yes. It might be difficult to set up a VPN for some people. But is that going to stop you from protecting yourself and your family? 30 minutes. 30 minutes is all that it takes. 5 if you know how to install software. The problem with some of you is that you see ‘difficult’ as something negative. I want you to see difficult differently. I need you to push through this stuff. You are going to protect yourself. There is nothing negative about that. VPNs are fun and costsaving too! A VPN bypasses geographical restrictions so you can access websites you normally can’t or you could start Netflix’s one month free trial over and over again- forever. And it’s legal! (unless you use it to buy weapons etc.,) Don’t tell yourself that you are too tired and that you will do this tomorrow. Because that isn’t going to happen and you know it. You have to do this right now. You only have to click on it. Don’t let this/shit/life just happen to you. Take yourself seriously. Get a VPN.

My friend did come out as transgender several years ago. I was more worried about keeping my pronouns correct and minding my own business otherwise, than whether or not I wanted that friendship anymore. I don't understand that mindset, honestly. Just be a good friend.

Untitled WIP

There wasn't much else to do after work since Eliza was broke and on the bus.  After work last Wednesday, her car's engine just refused to start.  Not that it wouldn't turn over, mind you.  It just didn't turn on.  The lights came on, but the engine did not.  It was a simple concept.  So simple, that it kept Eliza's attention far better than the music here or the people.  The only dim light in the whole place came from the Christmas lights lining the walls, the lamps at the bar, and the tiny disco strobe lights in the corners.  

“Are you gonna babysit that shit all night, or you gonna drink?” prodded Justin.

Everybody else at the table chatted away about their weekend warrior adventures in nature-seeking or nerd culture activities.  Eliza expressed an interest in Justin's extra-curricular life, but he never invited her to anything outside of a dinner or watching a movie at his place.  These were all Justin's friend; they only knew of Eliza via Justin's social media. Justin was her last, real friend in this city, but Eliza felt that once tight bond slipping further and further each year.  By now, it was a hair's width.  By next year, he might just be another internet friend, and the thought of losing her last connection to the real world whipped through her like an electrical current introduced to a puddle of water.  It burned, causing her chest to seize then release, until depression took over and did the main work of disrupting her thoughts with assurances of her uselessness.

But Eliza cared about Justin's friendship.  She just needed to be interesting and fun.  She just needed to learn how to make videos or paint or draw or write or sew or whatever it was that would regain Justin's attention.  Eliza wasn't looking for a lover, as Justin and her never vibed like that, and he was already in a relationship with a nice boy.  She just needed a friend.  One good friend.

“Sorry,” she said finally.  “I just don't really drink that much anymore.

“No need to apologize.  You want a soda or something?”

“Nah, I'll finish this up.”

“Cool,” he replied, smiling.

And that was it.  That was the extent of their conversation with each other that night, as Justin and the others remembered hilarious old stories of their times together, whether it be at meetups, road trips, conventions, or holiday get-togethers.  All of these things they shared together, while each person recounted their favorite story to Eliza.  They were all great people.  Each of them were sweet and unique in their own way, with winning smiles and great physical statures as well.

Eliza gulped down her drink after the third story, getting up from the table.  She rubbed an unsure hand across her bare, brown arm.  “I'm gonna get another one of these.”

“Cool,” said Justin.

Giving a quick nod, Eliza rushed to the first bartender she saw.  Without much money she couldn't order many drinks.  They were almost ten dollars a pop, and her rent was due in the next week.  One more drink, and then Eliza was cut off. While the rest of them seemed to have few money issues, cars with a down payment, and nicer apartments in better parts of town, Eliza couldn't even buy a third drink.

“Feelin' blue, honey?” asked the bartender.  He was a slender guy with high cheek bones and skin the color of polished oak.  If Eliza had to take a wild guess, he could have been Belizean or Nicaraguan.  

“Feeling broke, actually.  But I guess I'll take another one of these.”

“You like shots?”

[thatsmybluefondue]

Recently, I’ve been talking to other writeblrs and have come to the conclusion that a book collaboration would be really cool and fun. So, for anyone interested, I’m opening submissions for not just writers, but any type of artist wanting to submit their work. In fact, I want as many genres, as many different drawings and poetry as possible.

All the submissions will be reviewed, and then made into a book to be published–most likely on CreateSpace.

The theme? Art. That’s it. It must in some way be related to the theme art–whether it be about drawing, painting, music, writing–it’s up to you.ar

Anyone can submit something to @thatsmybluefondue or my email [email protected].

Rules: All genres allowed.

Short stories must be under 10,000 words.

Maximum of three submissions per person.

No mature content.

Submissions end August 31, 2018. (This may be subject to change.)

[thatsmybluefondue]

Hey, if you guys are interested in submitting something or purchasing/reading this, I would like to know. I haven’t gotten much feedback, so I don’t know if I should go through with this. Just an fyi. Thanks!

[thatsmybluefondue]

If any of you are planning on submitting anything, let me know and I can help! I’m already pretty much done with my own story, so I’m open.

[ghost-possum-deactivated2021032]

I’d like to submit something for this, though it will probably be on the shorter side. A Flash fiction or prose poem. Do you have a preference for whether I message you on Tumblr or email? Should I do both? Thanks for this opportunity. I’m really curious what kind of content you’ll collect. :)
