Twitter Introduces Tip Jar

There’s going to be a new way to send money, this time through Twitter! The app has started rolling out a new feature called Tip Jar which will let users give and receive money. This new addition will support various payment options and links including: CashApp, Paypal, Venmo, Patreon, and Bandcamp. It reminds us a bit of Ko-fi, where you can support your faves by buying them a virtual coffee. The best part is, Twitter doesn’t take a cut, all those transactions use the service’s external payment processors. Currently, only certain accounts are able to turn this function on (creators, journalists, experts and nonprofits), but all English language Twitter users can start sending tips! 

Gen Z Is Bringing Emo Back, But Did It Ever Leave?

According to a recent Buzzfeed article, Gen Z has turned emo and is bringing it back. Welcome to the Black Parade, Gen Z. We are happy you’re here! But emo never left (and we’ve been marching along the whole dang time). idobi is here for you too, to help cut your bangs, chip your nail polish, make new friends, and find the music that will define so much of your life. We’ve been doing it since 1999 and we never stopped—because it wasn’t just a phase. Buzzfeed did spot a major fact tho, the scene isn’t just about some white dudes now. But BIPOC emos have been here waiting for their moment to SHINE all along and now we’re finally taking over.
