Here are just a few of the things Casey regularly tracks: the number of contacts stored on her iPhone (187); the number of people following her on Instagram (around 580); the number of people who’ve asked to follow her on Instagram, but she’s refused to accept (more than 100); the number of people following her Tumblr blog (more than 100); her high score on Dots (almost 400); the number of photos she stores on her phone (363, fewer than before because she’s maxed out her phone’s memory); the number of photos her friends store on their phones (around 800); the number of people she’s friends with on Facebook (1,110) and the number of acquaintances who’ve quit Facebook (three or four). She also uses the app InstaFollow to keeps tabs on who’s unfollowed her on Instagram (she quickly unfollows those who defect).

Casey, I know you are only 14 years old, but you need to know this:
I have way more tumblr followers than you.
Like, so many more.
Deal with it.
A 48-year-old Cub Scout leader and mother-of-two from Cornwall is being credited tonight with calming down the men responsible for a suspected terror attack in Woolwich, South East London, that left one soldier dead. Ingrid Loyau-Kennett’s identity was first revealed by her son Basil, who took to Twitter to boast about his “motherfucking badass John McClane mother.
There’s really no need to keep fighting about whether GIF is pronounced with a hard G or soft G. For me and the other kids who have been messing around with web graphics since before Photoshop handled animation and everything was done in Adobe Imageready, we will just know that you are someone who is weirdly emphatic about the pronunciation of something that you have only been familiarizing yourself with for the last 4 or 5 years.
Let forget about the fact that the founders of the format have always been on record saying it with a soft G. Really, there’s no need to apologize. There’s largely no reason to challenge you when you say “because that’s how its spelled.” I would wage a gigantic bet that you’re so vigilant about the logic of the spelling of G words that your “Jif” allergy is not so much due to your strict ideologies, but more that your lack of gentleness and inability to handle it gingerly speak more to you feeling like you are on the fringe of an internet community and that you want to prove that you are very engaged and diligent when it comes to the internet and images associated with it.
But that’s fine.
