Tinder celebrates International Women’s Day by donating up to $250,000

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.

Baseus power banks are the best way to charge your phone after these discounts

One of the worst things about being a doomscroller isn't the information you're getting, it's the fear that your battery will die and the scrolling will have to end. This is especially true if you're stuck without power, waiting for the doctor or dentist to finally call your name, or have any other sort of emergency. But, Baseus has you covered with their excellent selection of on-the-go power banks made for your iPhone. Since they're small and fit directly to your phone's magnet charging area, you can think of them more as battery extenders than anything. Plus, if your phone's internal battery is starting to have battery trouble, a Baseus charger is a great way to avoid an annoying battery change session. The best news, however, is that they're all on sale. Here's what you can expect to see coming up:

Nothing Phone 3: A unique phone that’s not a true flagship
The Nothing Phone 3 in white

As smartphones have become extremely homogenous, companies must find unique ways to stand out from the crowd. For London-based Nothing, this has meant a singular company focus on blending smartphone features with unique designs that allow their phones to stand out in a sea of sameness.

The Nothing Phone 3 is the latest addition to a line of Nothing phones that are unique and polarizing in their design. Earlier this year, Nothing launched the Phone 3a Pro with a unique camera array, and the Phone 3 builds on this while also evolving the Nothing design language.

Plaud Note, the professional-tier AI notetaker, is 20% off for Prime Day
Four colleagues have a conversation around a Plaud Note AI notetaker.

Lately, as I've been working through stressful hospital visits with family, I've encountered something I haven't in quite awhile. As I hear doctors, nurses, and family say things, I'll be completely unable to remember them moments later. There's just too much going on all at once. Early in my career I encountered the same issue. There were just so many new facets of what I was doing entering my head all at once, from many sources, that it was impossible to keep track of it all. If only there were AI notetaking tools that have helped me through this. AI notetaking tools like Plaud Note and Plaud NotePin, which are both 20% off for Prime Day (from $159 to $127 for either device, saving you $32) and available by tapping the button below.
