Now I can say it (because before this my NDA was still holding me back): Chrome’s incognito mode still tracks you, just at a slightly broader level with some data anonymization. It has been this way for years, and building the feature this way was a deliberate business decision to deceive users into thinking their browsing was private in order to make more money from advertising.

Stop using Chrome. Switch to Firefox.

Meeting a jerboa (跳鼠) in the Gobi Desert

English added by me :)

I won't lie I think "I had a crush on you for superficial reasons when we first met but then that went away when I spent time with you and we became best friends built on a foundation of genuine respect and care and THEN I fell in love with you properly" is an underrated trope and so much can be done with it

Fave new twitter thread

HEY!

AO3 is in danger of becoming CENSORED. if you have donated $10 or more BEFORE june 30th, PLEASE exercise your right to vote (as you should have received an email to) and VOTE AGAINST TIFFANY GU, who is PRO-CENSORSHIP and PRO making AO3 “palatable” for outsiders and antis.

this is one of the few places dead dove writers/illustrators have to post our content, which is NOT illegal, immoral, or a threat to society. however, CENSORSHIP IS.

if you have the opportunity to vote, PLEASE TAKE IT.

KEEP AO3 WONDERFUL! THANKS!

me at a party: they don't know I want to explain why "stranger danger" was a reagan propaganda campaign to promote nuclear family "values" and increase police power, which then lead to mass incarceration. they don't know kidnappings in the 80s were purposefully sensationalized in the media and that the claimed statistics were exaggerated. they don't know most children are abused or kidnapped by someone they know, especially a parent, and that isolation of families prevents children from seeking help and support within their communities not available at home.

the speed limit for ghosts is also 25

Okay like something that really bothers me is that people (white latino people specifically) have been saying stuff like “shout out to Pepa for being a light skinned latino & I feel the need to really bang my head up against the wall

Because as much as I love Pepa, having a light skinned latino isn’t as “revolutionary” as you think it is???? Why???? Because literally most of latino rep IS light skinned latinos like literally here you go here’s the fucking proof that it’s literally the standard look for latinos in the media

having light skinned latinos isn’t anything new & the fact that I see more praise for Pepa then I do for Felix, Dolores, Antonio & hell even fucking Camilo (bc guess what!!! He’s lightskinned too!!! But I wonder why you don’t want to talk abt the Afro latino child 🧐🧐🧐 like he’s only a few shades darker than Pepa)

Like this is one of the few animated Disney films set around latino culture & the first one to include Afro latinos…so maybe instead of being colorist & being like “oh finally a light skinned latino!” You should realize that’s it’s already the standard & that dark skinned latinos are the ones that need more representation not us.
