Me: sends my mom a selfie of how I looked for a concert.

Mom: You look so pretty. 🤩 You take after me. 😃
Me: Why do you think that is?
Mom: Maybe because we're related?
Me: Maybe because I'm your daughter.
Mom: 😃🥰😍😘

These are the things that mean the world to me.

Apple macOS Privacy & Security settings may not reflect real access to protected folders, according to a demonstration by The Eclectic Light Company using a notarized test app called Insent. The author shows an app can regain access to Documents through Open and Save Panel intent even after the Files & Folders toggle is turned off, with testing on macOS Tahoe 26.4 and suspected impact from macOS 13.5 onward. The reported workaround is to reset TCC for the app and restart, although the author later noted MACL persistence may mean access is not fully cleared.

Apple-related court testimony cited by 404 Media says the FBI recovered incoming Signal message content from an iPhone's internal notification storage after the app had been removed. The report says only incoming notifications were captured, not outgoing messages, and no public technical details confirm exactly how the data was extracted. Signal offers a setting to hide message text in notifications, and the article indicates it was apparently not enabled in this case.

Me, casually walking out of Ulta after my brow wax and tint. A big truck carrying heavy equipment passes by on the street. The male driver turns his head to look at me while I wait to cross. He smiles at me...

"A strange guy would never just look and very visibly smile at me for no reason," I thought...

"Wait... Did I just pass?!"

i'd rather just be me than try to be who everyone else wanted me to be.

transitioning honestly changed my life in a good way. i finally made peace with that girl inside me, the one i kept pushing down for so long because of all the stuff i was taught growing up under patriarchy, misogyny, and rigid religious beliefs that framed femininity as shameful and inferior, something that needed to be hidden. but finding myself... it's been kind of amazing. i feel real happiness now, real support, and i actually get to live as myself and experience the girlhood i never thought i'd have.

transitioning didn't magically fix everything, but it made life feel worth it, like something i actually want to keep going for.

i'm trans. i'm here. and i wouldn't change this part of me.

happy trans day of visibility to all my trans fam 🏳️‍⚧️

The FTC said OkCupid and Match shared nearly 3 million user photos with Clarifai in 2014, along with location and demographic data, without telling users or offering an opt-out. The proposed settlement, filed in federal court, includes no financial penalty and no admission of wrongdoing. It would permanently bar OkCupid and Match from misrepresenting how they collect, use, share, delete, or protect personal data and privacy controls.
