It hasn’t always had the best reputation with women, but Tinder certainly is making an effort. In anticipation of International Women’s Day on March 8, Tinder announced it is pledging $250,000 to help empower women by donating to a dozen women-centric nonprofits across the world.

In a partnership with Pledgling.com, Tinder plans to launch its #FundHerCause social media campaign on Wednesday to support women (who make up 50 percent of the app’s user base). Starting Wednesday, if you tweet @Tinder with a cause you care about with the hashtag #FundHerCause, Tinder will send you a code for a $100 donation to one of the 12 organizations the app has selected.

“All around the world, women are bucking societal norms — they’re breaking down barriers, they’re breaking with tradition, and by doing so, they may even be breaking the law — all for something the rest of us consider a basic human right,” Tinder wrote in a blog post. “We are grateful to them. We are inspired by them. And we are here to support them.”

Unfortunately, you’ll have to be a U.S.-based Tinder user in order to participate in the donation process, though women in London are invited to participate in Tinder’s #BeBoldForChange event at Observation Point in the city’s South Bank. It’s described as “an artistic space designed for women to send messages of love, solidarity, and empowerment to each other,” and will be open for 12 hours on Wednesday.

“To our sisters around the world, we say this: Live as you choose and make no apologies,” the blog post concluded. “Always look out for one another. Stay strong, be bold and keep on fighting the good fight. Because now, more than ever, it’s time to rock the boat.”

The full list of non-profits to which you can donate through the campaign can be found below.

You can pick up the Google Pixel 7 Pro for only $500 today

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

A new Google Pixel Tablet is coming, but it’s not what you think

It's been almost a year since the Google Pixel Tablet went up for preorder, leading many Android tablet fans to wonder when the inevitable Pixel Tablet 2 will arrive. A new rumor suggests that Google could release a new Pixel Tablet as early as next month, but it's probably not what you were expecting or hoping for.

According to @MysteryLupin on X (formerly Twitter), Google is planning to "relaunch" the Pixel Tablet without the charging/speaker dock included in the box. As you'll likely recall, the speaker dock is the Pixel Tablet's standout feature. You can use the Pixel Tablet on its own as a traditional Android tablet when you want, and when you're done, you throw it on the dock to transform it into a smart display. The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.

What you should buy during Anker's Sale
