This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

Hello all, I’m opening up commissions for the time being. Money’s getting a bit tight thanks to me getting sick a few weeks ago and missing a good amount of work. I’m behind on a couple of bills now and worry I’m not going to afford rent this coming month. Please dm me if you’re interested in getting one.

I have created a server for this blog finally, there’s rules and I’ll be strict with them. But as long as you don’t purposely be a jerk you’ll be fine.

Keep things in google apps

Everything is saved to your account, ex. you can delete google photos when your phone is checked, and download it again afterwards and get all your photos back

Also because it’s on your account you can log into google on a friend’s computer or a library computer or something if you need to

I’m not sure about other apps but I know you can put a password on google docs

People are more likely to check notes but assume you have google docs for school assignments and not check that

A lot of people monitor texts/use programs that monitor texts, but who’s going to remember to check Google Hangouts?

Use the internet on apps that aren’t Safari

Download another browser and put it in a different folder, because most people can check your safari history but won’t find another app and then figure out how to check the search history of that app

Also use the internet when you click the link in social media ex. If you click a link on a Pinterest pin it can take you to that link on the internet but stay in Pinterest, so it won’t show up in search histories

Inform your friends and if you want to be really sneaky use code when texting

Sending messages as code helps. Ending sentences with certain letters can work. Need something? Definitely use code. Friends can help you. Or other family. Or teachers. Don’t hesitate to reach out. (the first letter of every sentence spelled out SEND FOOD)

If they’re being sneaky and checking things while you’re not around, make sure to log out of all social media after using it and try to have a slightly different password for each one.

Secondly, this might seem counterproductive, but it seems like an appropriate time to raise awareness of Noonlight for more extreme cases of abusive parents. It’s an app that can alert a list of people of your choosing when you are in danger, or summon the police in an emergency. Works at home, school, work, or anywhere in-between.

TFW people are getting outraged and writing essays over a thing a popular platform did without actually reading what the popular platform did. 

Please read more than headlines. 

I’m literally begging.

Youtube is garbage lately but all it’s done this time is removed the ability for any user off the street to submit captions to videos. Youtube has alternate captioning methods (manual, automatic, and 3rd-party) which are used by FAR MORE users compared to user-submitted captions. They have the data to back up the decision, too:

[…] the feature is rarely used with less than 0.001% of channels having published community captions (showing on less than 0.2% of watch time) in the last month.

Let me bold, header, and caps these since people are needlessly panicking: 

MANUAL, AUTOMATIC, AND THIRD-PARTY CAPTIONS ARE STILL GOING TO BE AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE AFTER SEPTEMBER 28TH. 

Period. They aren’t getting rid of subtitles. Stop panicking. 

THE 6-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE YOUTUBE IS OFFERING IS FOR CREATORS TO USE WHILE THEY SOURCE ALTERNATE CAPTIONING METHODS. 

This isn’t Youtube telling the hearing-impaired community to pay for subtitles, it’s Youtube trying to soften the blow for smaller channels. This allows smaller creators to find alternate ways to caption their work, be it learning to do the captions themselves, a third-party subscription service, help from friends, or contracting someone out to do it for them. 

As well as setting up the 6 months for the single service (Amara), they also pulled some strings and set up discounts for Youtubers through 3Play Media, Cielo24, and Rev. Not the best selection but it’s better than nothing to start. 

Again I stress: Paying for captions is NOT A THING. This is people NOT READING what is actually being discontinued. 

Captions are still there and you can still submit them manually or work with your favorite small creators to add translations and captions to their videos. All that is being removed is the community submission tool as it was being misused and abused constantly for very little benefit overall. 

YOUTUBE IS ADDING A SUPPORT ROLE TO CHANNELS THAT ALLOWS USERS TO HELP A CHANNEL WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING ITS SECURITY. 

This one is still in the works. Yes, this means channels can finally add helpers to work on captions (and other stuff!) if they want to without exposing their personal info and finances.

WITH THAT ALL SAID:

Google is notorious for removing products and features once the manpower required to maintain them outweighs their usefulness. This is not the first time, and won’t be the last. 

Does that make this situation suck any less? Of course it doesn’t. 

The point here is: Tumblr is doing That Thing again where it takes an impossibly tiny take on developing news and rolls it into a massive scandal. Take a step back, and take a steady breath if you can. Things suck, but that doesn’t excuse that they are being blown far out of proportion. 

TL;DR: Youtube removed ONE METHOD of submitting captions, not all captions entirely.
