Tumblr’s at it again, thanks to the new European Privacy Laws. There’s probably nobody who will read this, but it pissed me off so much that I decided to make a post about it. (Ignore the weird language mish-mash, depending on your country the language might differ.)
OK, so many of us get this screen when we try to access our dash:
Realise how the ‘OK’ button is a nice, attention-grabbing blue? If you’re like me, you’re not exactly into reading a 100 pages document and tend to just click it.
My tip? DONT. Instead click on ‘Manage Options’ right next to it:
Now you’ll see this page:
Still pretty harmless, right? That ‘Accept’ button is looking really attractive right now. Instead, click on Verwalten (Probably something like ‘Manage Options’ or something in english) and you’ll get to this page:
Now that’s not too bad, right? I just switched all the buttons to ‘off’, because I’m jealously guarding my personal information and don’t want Tumblr to go off and do who knows what with it. Looks like we’re done! But wait: There’s a SHOW option.
When we click on that one, what we will get is this:
A HUGE list with OVER 300 ENTRIES of companies that can use your data by default if you’d just clicked ‘OK’ on that very first page. Coincidence that this list is hidden that much? Me thinks not. They’re all switched on by default, but I am still a petty bitch that doesn’t want to give out her data, so I switched them all off. All 300+ of them. There is no option to switch them all off at once, and even if you disable all the options above, the companies are still switched on.
(If you wonder how i got that number, I copied the list into excel and looked at the cell number. No way am I actually counting all those entries)
youtube comment of the week
This is the most accurate description I’ve ever found, thought it was worth spreading ❀
Today I want to remember the Americans who have fought for our freedoms.
Not only the Military.
Today I want to remember:
The Protestors. The Union Members. The Picketers. The Marchers. The Glass Ceilings Breakers. The Strikers.
Today I am grateful for all of the Americans who have stood up to corrupt systems in our Nation and demanded the Freedom and rights they deserved.
Today I want to remember those who exercised their right to protest an unfair government.
Or unfair working conditions and evil corporate fat cats.
Today let’s remember:
The May Day Parade. The Coal Strike of 1902. The Southwest Railroad Strike. The Dearborn Hunger March. The Textile Workers Strike. The Harlan County War. The Birmingham March. The National March on Washington. the US Postal Workers Strike. The Stonewall Riots. Fountain House. The Million Man March. The Los Angeles Riots. Ferguson. Standing Rock. The Women’s March. The March for Our Lives. The March for Science.
Sojourner Truth. Mother Jones. The “Rednecks”. The Suffragist. Francis Perkins. Lucy Parsons. Martin Luther King. Rosa Parks. Malcolm X. Ruby Bridges. Kent State. SANE. MADD. Occupy Wall Street. Black Lives Matter. Times Up. Emma Gonzalez.
And all the other groups and unnamed/forgotten individuals who put themselves in harm's way to fight for the rights we deserve.
Freedom isn’t free.
*Sometimes yes that will mean war and the lives lost protecting America*
Sometimes, however, it means using your voice to stand up against the wrongs that our own country is allowing or committing. Freedom then comes at the price of being blacklisted, rubber bullets, tear gas, lives lost, and long nights spent in jail. Do not forget the cost it took to get to where we are today. Even when it feels like we have so far left to go.
Remember protest is patriotic. It’s the very freedom our Founding Fathers wanted to ensure we had when they wrote the Bill of Rights. Even if we have used those rights to grant more freedoms then they ever anticipated. Expanding and evolving the concept of freedom to reach more than just rich, white men.
Protesting is the very reason America exists.
Never forget those who have fought for our rights.
Never forget that you yourself hold this same power.
This Fourth of July educate yourself on the movements, marches, and protests that it took to make America the nation we know today. Then think about the ways you can use your voice to continue to improve America and make it a place we can all be proud to call home. A place where even the most marginalized groups can feel free.
Happy Fourth of July.
Let Freedom Ring.
To set something down:
Lay (present tense)
Laid (past tense)
Laying (present participle/e.g am, is, are.)
Laid (past participle/e.g has, have, had.)
To rest or recline:
Lie (present tense)
Lay (past tense)
Lying (present participle/e.g am, is, are.)
Lain (past participle/e.g has, have, had.)
The letters are only for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender”
Although being LGBT does have disadvantages, LGBT people on first world countries are not oppressed
You need dysphoria to be trans
There’s only two (scientifically proven) genders
Gender isn’t a spectrum
Kids that haven’t gone through puberty shouldn’t medically transition
Asexuality isn’t inherently LGBT, nor is it a spectrum
Demisexuality isn’t a thing
Pansexuality and bisexuality are the same thing
Cops are allowed at pride
TERF ideology is gross, but TERFs shouldn’t be banned from pride just because of their opinions
PDA can be allowed at pride, but over-the-top kinky displays shouldn’t be
Pedophilia is disgusting and isn’t LGBT
LGBT people do not have to be democrats or fit a certain political agenda
Being LGBT isn’t a personality trait
Many of you may know that I keep youtube playlists of language samples, and I thought it was about time to compile them all into one post. They contain pretty much anything where you can hear the language clearly – music, dialogues, tutorials, movie trailers, readings, etc. I’ll probably add more in the future. Hope someone finds them useful!

Hello and welcome to my main blog, which is mostly my odd, or what I deem funny experiences. I have a writing blog where I post things for no real reason(includes prompts)
