Ello, I’m Nox. I’m New To Tumblr, I Didn’t Move Here From Twitter, I Just Wanted To Start A Blog.

So I can roll my Rs and I really like doing it cuz it reminds me of the person who taught me how to do it. I just do that but softer and try not to make sounds from the throat. I learnt to roll my Rs while one of my caretakers was trying to teach me Indonesian, because as a mixed kid with Indonesian in their heritage, knowing the language is important, not that I remember anything now. So maybe look at the Indonesian alphabet thing

I hate how I’ve always been able to purr but not meow or hiss.

Correct me if I’m wrong but… I think I found a way to not get tracked while using a smart phone. I’m no expert so take all this with a grain of salt. I’m just saying what I think would work.

I’ll talk about location tracking, then web activity tracking. And when I talk about location tracking, I mean getting a phone that does have gps as well as the second phone that doesn’t. Just incase you get into an emergency and need to be saved.

Also, this isn’t supposed to be advertisement, I’m not getting paid to advertise anything. Even if I sound like I’m trying to sell you something.

Ok so my phone’s location can be tracked by gps, cell phone towers and wifi, right? I’m pretty sure, cell phone towers can find your general location but gps and wifi give a more exact location.

So I get a Benco V80s phone — which doesn’t have gps or cameras — and just remove the battery when I’m not using the phone, and only use public wifis in parking lots without cameras, my location can’t be tracked? You must be thinking “You just said wifi can be used to tracked your location! Why would you use public wifi?”

Well, that’s because I like using the internet, and I need wifi to use internet. Public wifi is better than actual home wifi, you don’t want people knowing your home address after all. Plus, after you’re done, you can disconnect from the wifi and take the battery out. It can’t track you after that so why not go to a public restaurant somewhere far from your home or base of operations?

And now you must be thinking “well what about the cell towers?” They can’t track a phone that isn’t on. And you’re literally taking the battery out, so how is that going to stop you?

Well what about getting online activity tracked? Well if live in the uk, you must be familiar with this. Mass surveillance in the uk allows a lot of government agencies to tract your online activities, or at least that’s what this article says.

Mass Surveillance: What does the UK government know about you?

The UK is a member of Five Eyes and has a history of mass surveillance. Learn what the UK government knows about you and how you can protect

But to answer to that is tor for android. Considering the fact that Benco V80s is an android phone, we could download that. If you don’t know what tor is, it’s a project that wants to, as stated on the website “Advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding.”

Of course, tor isn’t perfect but it’s as private and secure as it can get. And use tor without standing out, read as much as possible form it’s website, look for advice from tor users.

Get a VPN while you’re at it. That’s going to help a lot, I’m not going to write much about it here though. We’ve all seen enough nordVPN ads to know what it’s all about.

Even with all that, don’t go around doing crime. Just don’t, it’s illegal and immoral. That includes “CP” (we all know what that’s supposed to stand for), it’s just wrong. Plus, any criminal things you do on tor will probably make you stand out from the activists, privacy lovers and other normal civilians who aren’t doing crime.

Criminals have been caught using tor before, it’s not perfect, it’s just harder to track. It has more layers of encryption than google and is honestly better than duckduckgo. Read the article bellow for more information on duckduckgo.

Is DuckDuckGo As Private As It Claims?

DuckDuckGo is a private search engine. It is adamant about spreading privacy around the internet. However, there is one issue we…

So that’s going to at least mostly stop the tracking, what else? Honestly, I don’t know. Just don’t use your personal information online, even when signing up for things. You don’t know if that company tracks or collects data from you after all.

When white portions get mad because they aren't benefiting from white supremacy and all this power over Black people and they're just average.

That. That's why they want to keep white supremacy around. Because if they're this average with an advantage. Imagine where they'll be when Black people have the same opportunity.

And then applying this to feminism. A lot if men being unreasonably mad at me suddenly makes a lot of sense. If I'm this good and they're this average. Imagine if I had equal opportunities.

That recognition is just... the most satisfying insult I can think of to white supremacists.

⛈️ Weather Lore ⛈️

Part I

Weather patterns have been noted and studied for hundreds of thousands of years. Meteorology has transformed from folk lore and observation to a well-understood science. However, Weather Lore remains an ingrained characteristic of many cultures. Some longstanding beliefs about weather patterns and weather predictions include:

1. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning.”

This popular nautical saying is used to predict poor sailing weather. A red sunset indicates that sunlight light from the west is shining through the clouds to color the sky. This means that precipitation-heavy clouds are not present. A red sky at dawn, however, can be the result of light reflecting off of cirrus ice crystals in the clouds in the upper atmosphere, signalling incoming precipitation.

2. “Sharper the blast, sooner ’tis past.”

This old piece of weather lore refers to cold fronts. The belief dictates that the colder and/or harsher a front comes in, the sooner it will end.

3. “If there is a halo round the sun or moon, then we can all expect rain quite soon.”

This is a pervasive saying that is regarded as accurate. Meteorologists have determined that the so-called “halo” seen around the moon and/or sun is caused by light reflection off of cirrus ice crystals in high atmosphere clouds. Cirrus clouds are often the first sign of oncoming precipitation.

4. “If in the sky you see cliffs and towers, it won’t be long before there is a shower.”

Vertical clouds, referred to as “cliffs and towers” in the saying, are a sign of unsettled air in the atmosphere. Unsettled air is a sign of imminent active weather.

5. “If woolly fleeces bestow the heavenly way, be sure no rain will come today.” 

This saying refers to fluffy white (cumulus) clouds in the sky. Generally, when cumulus clouds are present it is a sign of calm weather. Hence the nickname for cumulus clouds; “fair-weather clouds.”

6. “When the icy wind warms, expect snow storms.”

The arrival of warm air during the winter can signal a low pressure system, which often brings active cold precipitation.
