2/5 Some excerpts from the article on effects of smartphones+social media on teenagers. Survey says: more screen time = more unhappy child
3/5 More social media = more feeling of being left out = more loneliness = more depression
4/5 uhhh... no comment...
5/5 My own view: smartphone+internet with reasonable limits & appropriate channeling into the right online activities is an overall positive

Random etymology for the day. खर means donkey in Sanskrit. khar means the same in Persian. घोष means sound in Sanskrit. Gush means ear in Persian. Combine those, and we get “animal with large ears like a donkey”—khargush=खरगोश=rabbit
More random etymology: The Sanskrit उष्ट्र (camel) gave rise to "shotor" in Persian (same meaning).

Old Persian "morg" (bird) now means hen (मुर्ग).

Combine to get shotormorg = शुतुरमुर्ग = camel bird = ostrich.
I just realized that sahib and sahiba are masculine and feminine forms _of the same word_ (meaning companion). Yet, the latter means companion/friend, but the former means owner/master. #patriarchy

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Accidentally, Jimin confessed his feelings for Yoongi and got rejected. Months after, rumor has it Jimin and Taemin are dating.
Yoongi will start to realise what he really feels for Jimin.
Everything started like this: Months before, Bts celebrate after one concert.
He can take almost everything. Yoongi is surprised Jimin isn't drunk already.

(THREAD) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Mike Flynn will plead guilty to Making False Statements at 10:30 AM EST today (Friday). This is the biggest development in the Russia probe so far. This thread explains what it all means, and will be updated throughout the day. Please read and share.
1/ First, it's important to understand that Mueller has entered into a plea deal with Flynn in which Flynn pleads guilty to far less than the available evidence suggests he could be charged with. This indicates that he has cut a deal with Mueller to cooperate in the Russia probe.
2/ We've already seen Mueller do this once before in the probe, with George Papadopoulos—who was charged with the same crime as Flynn, Making False Statements, to secure his cooperation with the Russia probe. The Papadopoulos plea affidavit emphasized facts were being left out.
