Our team found Tom, sick and alone, and eating rat poison. He’d been living as a stray all 5 years of his life so far, and well...it shows.
His survival skills must have been to make friends with every creature he met, because this cat doesn’t have a mean bone in his body! 1/4

When opening a website from within the TikTok iOS app, they inject code that can observe every keyboard input (which may include credit card details, passwords or other sensitive information)
TikTok also has code to observe all taps, like clicking on any buttons or links.

“People have said, “Don’t cry” to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is “I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings: Don’t cry.” I’d rather have them say, “Go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.”

Staycation day 2: spent an hour pruning ivy, probably will take another 60-90 minutes to clean it up entirely
