Transcript: Yesterday my cousin said that my rooster wasn't a real rooster. He said he's a Walmart rooster. *chicken noises* Does this not look like a real rooster to you? *chicken makes a sound again* Sure, he's small, but he has feelings.

not to enforce gender roles but a computer should NOT fucking have apps okay. if I wanted an app I'd go on my phone my laptop is for Programs. I mean this.
Humongous data breach just happened, with loads upon loads of sites being affected. Tumblr's among those. Also on the list is Wattpad for you fanfic people out there- among many, many other places.
There's a searchable list at the bottom of the article. Highly recommend scrolling or searching through, seeing what places you may be on that have been affected, and securing all your accounts. This thing's kind of big.
If you know people on any of the sites affected, let them know about this too, and spread the article around.
So I actually took a moment to google this. AND to read the fucking article twice.
This is mostly old data braches, meaning from past incidents. This is still data, however we are talking data from god fucking knows how long ago within the past few years as well.
This is from an article by Brooke Wagner found here.
This is a database that researches have found
Davey Winder on Forbes here.
Does this mean you shouldn't be concerned? No, but you shouldn't panic.
There are ways to easily deal with things like this and I'm sure you've found this a 1000 times on articles but I'm putting it here.
These are just two steps that honestly help a lot.
Now, keep in mind im no fucking IT genius, I am just a fucking stranger on the internet who don't know shit about shit. Which is even more reason for you to look into this yourself.
Read articles regarding leaks like this, and look into them, because I'm already seeing people losing their shit about this all over and nobody seems to have read more than the headlines.
Many Tumblr users in my circle use Firefox, so it's good to know about its built-in password manager. This password manager allows you to see which of your passwords have not been changed since a known breach containing them. Firefox keeps tabs on recent breaches for you and links you to the website in question so you can change your password.
Here's what it looks like for my now-deleted DeviantArt login:
When I click on it, it shows me this notice above my username and password, informing me that it was not DeviantArt that was breached, but another website that the password manager knows had the same password. I'd still need to change my DeviantArt password!
This is why it's good to use a strong, unique password for every login. When Firefox suggests a "keysmash"-looking password for your next login, use it! It will be saved to the built-in password manager. The password manager can be password-protected too, if you have security concerns. Be sure to use a unique password!
reblogging this again bcs this is an AMAZING addition <3!!!
Please stop reblogging the original version and reblog this instead. I screwed up with the wording on the original post and not really looking into what was new and what wasn't enough- my apologies. I didn't intend to come off as fearmongering or wanting people to panic, just remind people to change their password and there was some stuff I misinterpreted about the article. It still is a good idea to change passwords when there's a breach though for exactly the reasons stated above- reusing passwords puts you at risk when this stuff happens.
Also these are really good tips.
Yeah this gonna bang on here I can smell it
i love how her friends immediately recognize her cat's typing style and know her cat's name :3

#reverse gifts of the magi
I got to hold a 500,000 year old hand axe at the museum today.
It's right-handed
I am right-handed
There are grooves for the thumb and knuckle to grip that fit my hand perfectly
I have calluses there from holding my stylus and pencils and the gardening tools.
There are sharper and blunter parts of the edge, for different types of cutting, as well as a point for piercing.
I know exactly how to use this to butcher a carcass.
A homo erectus made it
Some ancestor of mine, three species ago, made a tool that fits my hand perfectly, and that I still know how to use.
Who were you
A man? A woman? Did you even use those words?
Did you craft alone or were you with friends? Did you sing while you worked?
Did you find this stone yourself, or did you trade for it? Was it a gift?
Did you make it for yourself, or someone else, or does the distinction of personal property not really apply here?
Who were you?
What would you think today, seeing your descendant hold your tool and sob because it fits her hands as well?
What about your other descendant, the docent and caretaker of your tool, holding her hands under it the way you hold your hands under your baby's head when a stranger holds them.
Is it bizarre to you, that your most utilitarian object is now revered as holy?
Or has it always been divine?
Or is the divine in how I am watching videos on how to knap stone made by your other descendants, learning by example the way you did?
Tomorrow morning I am going to the local riverbed in search of the appropriate stones, and I will follow your example.
The first blood spilled on it will almost certainly be my own, as I learn the textures and rhythm of how it's done.
Did you have cuss words back then? Gods to blaspheme when the rock slips and you almost take your thumbnail off instead? Or did you just scream?
I'm not religious.
But if spilling my own blood to connect with a stranger who shared it isn't partaking in the divine
I don't know what is.
This is the axe
My knuckle rests exactly in the triangular plane just above the orange intrusion, and my thumb on the plane with the white patches.
How many hands held it just like that? How many generations was this passed down? Were you lost? or did you fall into disuse when technology improved?
Do you still desire to be held?
*two wolves chanting* Smile! Smile! Smile!

Dumbasses say they want a manic pixie dream girl, but then lose their shit when they're actually weird and it's not all an act. Pussies.
Get a Renaissance woman, bitch about her being interesting.
Take a break, this cute tardigrade needs time to cross your dash:
I've never seen them walking before I love him
i know this please help me
if you seek skeek at my slorse you hate me at my worst
HOW THE FUCK DOES THE SYAING GO
new development in my brain loss story: i deadass just forgot what jerma was called
i couldn’t make this up if i tried
i still have NO idea what OP means by 'Jerma'. That's, not a thing. I just get random twt account when I google the name.
i wish i was you.
I hope OP is okay but my god am I dying of laughter
Don’t forget that the US civil rights bill only passed after six weeks of rioting that were the direct result of MLK’s murder. Peaceful protest paved the way, but violent protest got it over the finish line.
It’s understandable why the state would not want you know that, but that’s also why it’s imperative that you do.
king's family doesn't "believe" the FBI killed him, they know it for fact because the FBI admitted to it in a civil case brought against them in the early 90s. the court documents are a matter of public record. read them yourself. the king family won that suit against the united states fucking government for assassinating martin luther king jr
Buy an office chair
Seriously, gaming chairs are made as a consumer branding product... it's designed to break down quickly, and to lay on much more cost just for a brand that has NO value.
Office chairs are designed to hold out long, keep employees at work, long and healthy so they can amass more wealth for the company, and DON'T NEED BIG BRAND BUILDING BEHIND THEM.
Get an office chair.
