This just in: apparently the new Carmen Sandiego show frames Carmen as a modern day Robin Hood, basically taking stolen artifacts and giving them back to the peoples who rightfully own them.

She’s the hero of the story even though she’s publicly perceived as a criminal by most law enforcement agencies. 

my dad: walks into the room while i’m playing club penguin on the family computer

me:

I have this panic reflex from early childhood where if anybody is walking angrily or making angry sounds or makes any indication of anger or negative feelings, I quickly have to stop everything, stop making sounds, stop moving, don’t make any indication of pleasure or you’ll become the target of anger.

^^^SAME? omg.

This.

*squints at the three lines in Word that have remained unchanged for weeks* In theory

I’m attacked

here is what it looks like installed:

you can read more about it here, and here- this excerpt sums up what information Hum will send: 

“a car’s owner will be able to get notified on their phone when the vehicle leaves a pre-determined area or drives faster than a set speed… [Hum] will enable location tracking and a driving log, which measures travel times, engine idle times, and average speeds.” 

People in abusive relationships, please check your cars.

DO NOT TRY TO UNPLUG IT BY YOURSELF!

To add to this nightmare, I’ve just heard of a thing called ForceField where people get to monitor and block internet sites that you’re going on if they don’t approve.

It tells the user what sites/apps you’re going on, for how long you’re on them, and WHERE YOU ARE ON AN UPDATING MAP.

So you know if you’re in an abusive household and use sites like tumblr to escape and talk to friends, you could be cut off from that.

They say “it’s not spyware” but it sure sounds controlling and creepy to me.

signalboost

God. Fuck. That’s scary.

Life 360 is another tracker. My parents have used it on me, not allowing me to delete it from my phone, and sometimes even demanding selfies to prove I was where the map said. (As if I’d go anywhere without my phone)

SpectorPro is another one. Afaik it can’t track location, but it takes screenshots roughly every 20sec to allow the installer to watch a video of your computer activity. It also tracks all keystrokes, so passwords aren’t safe, and records any website you visit + the duration. It’s incredibly creepy and a huge violation of privacy, and was one of the cornerstones of my abuse as a kid.

even if you’re not in an abusive relationship/family, please spread this because you might have just saved someone’s life

FOUND IT & I say again: I can imagine hobbits having sex just fine.

Georgey boy here forgetting Sam’s 13 kids.

he didn’t forget about them. he just doesn’t understand where they came from.

That’s even funnier, then.

george rr martin, looking at the gamgee family tree and crying: wh-where… where did they all come from…….

this man is apparently under the impression that we need sex scenes to understand that sex exists in any given story universe and honestly that explains so much about his writing

It really does
