#idk what this means or if i do this but ig i'll just hold my phone with my pinky stuck out from now on?? 

Good question, also no that won’t help.

shitty MS Paint 3 minutes doodle, nto entirely accurate: When you have your pinky hooked on the “bottom” edge of the phone for the extra security so it doesn’t slide out of your hand that easily, you’re wreaking damage on your hand, since the pinky is extremely askew from it’s resting position. You might have noticed that when you hold your phone like that for long time it begins to hurt, like when you are gripping a pen too tightly for example.

Green lines - the fingers are going their natural way. Red line - the pinky is way off, that’s bad.

parents will spend your whole childhood being like “you should act according to your principles! stand up for what you know to be right! be brave and speak out against injustice!” and then when you do they’re like hang on wait a minute how’d you grow up to be so naive and irrational why can’t you just keep your mouth shut and take the path of least resistance like an adult

Texas government data breach allowed hackers to steal 3 million driver's licenses and passports | TechCrunch

A data breach involving government-issued ID documents affects over 3 million people in Texas.

“A data breach at a Texas state government department allowed hackers to take the driver’s license information and passport numbers of more than 3 million people”

This is the largest data breach for the state in this year

There was a security issue that hackers took advantage of

“that allowed hackers to access the department’s license system vendor, which handles the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.”

The vendor is unknown

“The breach also included email addresses, phone numbers, and residential addresses of the affected license holders, the department said.”

We actually do need to have pro-democratic bot farms that posts messages each day pretending to be people who: love their mom, cooked dinner for their girlfriends, attended a local play by a gay playwright, trying new ethnic food and liking it, had a really nice conversation with their teacher

You know, take back the culture.

[noonesgaylikegatson]

Like the anti-smoking and anti-bullying propaganda of the 2000s literally worked. Humans can be coaxed to good behavior by showing good examples.

People are literally becoming more racist and evil because they constantly see bots pretending to be racist and evil people.

Growing up, social media saved me. Don't take it away. | Opinion

I was the kind of teenager for whom social media was a portal to the world that I would never have gotten growing up in rural North Carolina

I spent several of my teenage years on Tumblr.com, reblogging black-and-white photos of city buildings and stills from Lana Del Rey music videos. It is on this website that I began planning the person I was going to be when I grew up: a writer who lived in a big city, who went to concerts and parties and wore cool clothes.

What I didn't know was that my experience on Tumblr was also shaping my identity, and helping me connect with my queerness by allowing me to find other LGBTQ+ people outside of my small town.

For teenagers in rural areas, sometimes their only connection to communities that look like them is the community that exists online. I know that's certainly true for the LGBTQ+ community. For many of us who grew up on social media, our online communities were the places we fit in when school and home felt isolating.
