To everyone on social media,

If you care at all about your online security and your friends'...

Please, please stop clicking on those game-app-posts that promise to show your true personality traits or spirit animal or whatever if you just touch the month-gemstone-leaf etc....

Those are actually apps created by random third-party developers.  When you click on them, you are giving them permission to access ALL the metadata from your account.  That's all your photos, posts, likes, friends, contact info, and personal info.  The apps require this permission to do whatever calculations they claim that they will do to give you the result they claim they will give you.  That's the way they work, and it's not a bug.  It's a feature and a normal function of the system.

In the good (very) old days, there were probably a few of these inventive new "games" that were legitimately for fun.  But these days (for a long time now) almost all of these apps are actually just phishing for your data.  They will scrape all the public and private and hidden data from your account because you not only gave them permission to do so, you basically requested it by clicking them to show you your whatever...

They will then use that huge chunk of data profiling you to target you with their ads in the best case scenario.  More often than not they will also sell your data to unscrupulous third parties for inclusion in everyone else's spam marketing lists and phishing hit lists.  In the worst case scenarios your data will end up in the darker places of the web and used to hack you, or set up fake accounts to phish and hack your friends or spread disinformation, etc., with your name and face...

This all happens quickly and quietly in the background while on the surface they simply confirm that you are indeed a Lion or a Raven.  And they will always tell you that you are 10% Bitch and 997.5% Beautiful Badass.  Always.

Well, I'm here to tell you straight up that YOU ARE 1,007.5% PURE BEAUTIFUL BADASS.
​Now go and prove it to everyone by showing the confidence and self-awareness to not click on those scammy apps.

Stay safe and beautiful and bad, all in the ratio that fits you best--

Redefining the root of all evil:
Pride is totally fine.
Mediocrity is actually blissful.
Being smug, everyone hates that.

You don't have to be the best at everything (or even anything) you do.  Do what you want to the level that you want, and enjoy it.
