This Woman Took Herself On A Date On Snapchat After Being Stood Up, But There's More To The Story & It's Incredibly Important

Latest Govt. Jobs 11:47:00 lifestyle Edit
This week, the internet has been aflutter over the story of Mimi Black, a Scottish woman who took herself on a date after being stood up and uploaded the ensuing lovely day to Snapchat. At first glance, it's the kind of "revenge on a rude date" tale that lends itself well to going viral, but there's far more to the story than a single tweet can capture — and, in fact, the big picture is actually incredibly important.
Black runs a mental health blog, 100 Days of Mimi, chronicling her struggle with bipolar disorder. "I decided to become a mental health blogger after I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder at 19 and I wanted to keep a mood diary whilst raising awareness for Bipolar Disorder in young people, so I documented such on the blog," she tells Bustle over email.
According to her blog, she spent much of June dealing with a depressive episode, but in mid-July, she traveled to Glasgow to meet someone at a bar."Long story short, he didn’t show up," she wrote on 100 Days of Mimi. After explaining what happened to her friends, she decided to treat herself to an evening out in Glasgow anyway.
"Even the idea of travelling alone earlier had made me feel kind of nauseous, but as I was sitting on the street on my own realizing my fate – I guess I felt somewhat calm. ... As nervous as I felt sitting in a strange bar in Glasgow on my own, it felt oddly empowering," she wrote. Black recorded her evening on Snapchat and sent it to her friends, and on July 15, she posted the story online.
"A boy stood me up so I decided to have the best date with myself, and it was great," she tweeted.

The tweet quickly went viral, receiving more than 16,000 likes and almost 6,000 retweets. Although many applauded her actions, some zeroed in on Black's appearance or claimed that she was attention-seeking. The trolls became so overwhelming that she took to her blog to discuss her day in Glasgow as well as the aftermath.
"People speculate whether or not I’ve had plastic surgery, commented that I wear too much makeup or pondered whether I’m promoting lingerie from Ann Summers," she wrote on 100 Days of Mimi. "What’s most upsetting is those who comment that I must be desperate to get married, a prostitute, a complete airhead or someone who just wants to so desperately be famous."
Misogynist trolls are virtually everywhere online; just a few days ago, actress and star of the Ghostbusters remake Leslie Jones left Twitter after being subject to a torrent of racist and sexist abuse from users of the social network. Research has shown that gender-based harassment is so common online that it's practically the norm, as Black discovered when the Internet turned its attention her way. In addition to the trolls, however, she took issue with the way the media presented her story as a "sassy middle finger" to the man who stood her up. Rather than making it about a man, she explained on 100 Days of Mimi, her date was about her slow recovery from mental illness.
"This story wasn’t about a boy or bitterness, it was about feeling good about yourself even when the circumstances can make you feel pretty low. It took me so much courage to get out of the place that I was in," she wrote on the blog.
Later, she described the difficulty of dating as someone who has a mental illness. "What part of the conversation at dinner do I talk about my Bipolar Disorder?" she wrote. "How do I mention I’ve just got over a serious episode in my illness? Do I mention anything? I was almost relieved these conversations didn’t have to take place, safe in the security of the company of myself. Doing things alone, like I’ve wanted to do for months."
She ended the post with a parting message for the trolls. "I felt brave when I ordered a drink, as silly as that sounds to you, and I felt poised and attractive in my new lingerie," she wrote. "I felt like a real girl, not the ill girl. So please don’t take my positivity away. I felt confident, sexy, sassy and happy – and I’d never want any other woman to feel any differently."
Check out 100 Days of Mimi to read more about Black's struggle with bipolar disorder and the aftermath of going viral. It's too important to miss.

    re're many advantages to Apple's ecosystem. The synergy between the devices is unprecedented. Apple has "simplified" things so much that its products are considered to be easier to use. The products also come with a great ecosystem of accessories which makes owning them a fuss-free experience for most of the people. However, Apple's approach also adds some complexities. For example, one big problem for the iPhone users is management of their music collection. On the iPhone or iPad you can't "cut, copy and paste" files. Also, Apple owns the iTunes store and in order to avoid piracy it limits the user of an iPhone or iPad to a host PC or a Mac. So how does one transfer music from a laptop to an iPhone? For example you have 10 songs on your computer. You want them into your iPhone. It is an amazingly simple question, but the answer to it is a little complex. The iTunes method The iTunes method is what one must use to transfer music from a laptop, external hard-drive or pen drive to the iPhone. To do this, you need to follow these steps: 1- Download and install iTunes on your Windows PC. On a Mac, it will be pre-loaded. When you will open iTunes for the first time, it will scan your computer for all the music and media and add it to the iTunes library. If you have the music stored on an external drive, make sure that's also connected to the computer. It will also download all the music you've bought from Apple once you log-in to your iTunes account if you have used it before to purchase music. 2- Connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable. 3- Open iTunes. 4- Locate and click on your device on the left side bar. 5- Click on the 'Summary' tab and scroll down to the Options section. 6- Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos." 7- Go to the 'Music' tab, check box next to sync music 8- Then click on either 'entire library' or 'selected playlists, artists and genre' which basically allows for manually selecting the songs that you want in the iPhone. 9- Click apply. Using iTunes, you can also transfer music wirelessly to the iPhone. The process is quite straight forward and you have to follow the following steps. 1- Connect the iPhone to iTunes using USB cable so that the sharing is enabled between the two devices. 2- Ensure iPhone and your laptop which is running iTunes is on the same Wi-Fi network. 3- Open iTunes 4- Once iPhone is connected iTunes, in the summary tab check on the ''Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi' tab. 5- Press "Apply" 6- The next time you open iTunes, you will be able to sync music wirelessly --- no USB cable required -- as long as both the laptop and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network. In case you store music in a pen drive or an external hard disk, here is what you will need to do: 1- Select the "iTunes preferences" menu. On Windows you have to go to the tiny button on the top right corner. On OS X, you have to go to the iTunes icon on the top right. 2- Inside preferences you have to jump straight to the last tab (8th) called "Advanced". 3- In the advanced tab, the first thing you will see 'iTunes media folder location'. By default, its path will read something like 'C:\\Users\Sahil\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media'. This is the folder you need to copy if you're backing up your music. 4- In the case you're trying to add music from an external drive you have to change the path. So if you're music is on 'D' drive inside a folder called music all you need to is change the path to D:\\Music and you're good to go. Also Read: How to 101: Transfer photos (including screenshots) from Android phone to laptop Copy music using cloud storage What if you have saved your music on cloud storage platforms like DropBox, OneDrive, or even Apple's iCloud? In most cases you will be able to stream the music directly from the dedicated app of the service. In the case of iCloud, the music finds its way into the Music app on the iPhone by turning on a setting on the phone. So here's what you must do: For iCloud 1- Enter the settings menu on the iPhone 2- Go to the iTunes and App Store settings and click the automatic downloads for the music. This will download all the music you have downloaded from the iTunes store on your iPhone. This works even if you made a purchase from a different device, using the same iTunes account. 3- Inside the setting menu, scroll down for the 'music' sub-menu and turn on iCloud Music Library which will either seek to merge your iCloud music with the one on your phone or completely replace the music on your phone with the one on iCloud. Opt for the option that is convenient to you. For DropBox and OneDrive 1- Download the respective apps from the App Store 2- Supply your relevant account ID and password to the app 3- Click on the file to play the song. The app will stream it. 4- On OneDrive, on the bottom right corner, click on the contexual menu and click on open with another app option. This will download the file on the phone so that you can play the song using the standard Music app or third party apps like JukeBox. 5- If you have a lot of music on DropBox and you want to download the music on to the iPhone, then download a free app called JukeBox. Once you open the app, it will ask for your DropBox account details and scan and download all the files on the phone so that you can play them. Third-party solutions The way iOS is architected there is no file system that's accessible to the user. So if you're looking for the traditional drag and drop method, you can't do it, unless you download a third party app. There are apps for both OSX and Windows. For Windows there is SharePod which can be bought for $20, while for OS X, there are solutions like iExplorer which costs $39 and Senuti which costs $19. Basically, when an iPhone, iPod or iPad are connected to a PC or Mac which have either of these apps open, users can see the file system and drag and drop files. SharePod 1- First connect your iPhone to the PC. 2- Then open SharePod, and it will start scanning for an Apple iOS device. 3- Then choose manually the files that you want to copy and click on the 'Copy to Computer' button. iExplorer 1- Open iExporer on the Mac. 2- Connect your iPhone or iPad with the Mac. 3- If iTunes prompts you to sync with your computer, select no or cancel. 4- Select individual tracks using the command button on the Mac. 5- Drag and drop the files in the folder of your choice. It is worth noting that we have not tested either iExplorer or SharePod, but these apps are believed to be very good at extracting data directly from an iPhone by opening up its file system.
