I Can’t Wait! Anxiously Counting Down The Days! :D

Democrats are just one vote shy of restoring net neutrality

Senate Democrats are close to restoring Net Neutrality, but need one more Republican to join their cause.

I haven’t done an update on Net Neutrality in a while as I was trying to find a reasonable “next step”, especially since it’s been out of the “news cycle” for a bit. Well, I have some good news. 

According to the senator (minority leader Chuck Schumer) from New York, they now have a total of 50 votes for a Senate resolution of disapproval that would restore the Open Internet Order of 2015 and deliver a stiff rebuke to Ajit Pai and other Republican members of the FCC. It would also prevent the agency from passing a similar measure in the future, all but guaranteeing Net Neutrality is permanently preserved

What’s stopping them now? They need just ONE more Republican and they have less than 30 days to do it.

So goes the next actionable step. You have to contact your senators and get them to suppose the Congressional Review of “the Open Internet Order of 2015″. 

There are two ways to go about it. 

1) Via 5calls.org using this script - https://5calls.org/issue/fcc-net-neutrality-cra

2) Via https://resist.bot/ - you can write to Congress using this site or  Text RESIST to Resistbot on Telegram, Messenger, or to 50409 on SMS. By providing basic information, you can write your Senator to move forward.

Now, if you got a Democratic Senator, push them on to find that one Republican Senator. If you got a Republican Senator, encourage them to reconsider their stance on Net Neutrality. 

We just need ONE Republican Senator and we have less than 30 days to do so.

Alright guys, things are not looking great for Emerald City’s renewal. And before I knew that they would likely be setting up a cliffhanger ending, I wouldn’t have minded just one season of this wonderfulness, I’ll take anything I can get. But, if there is more to tell in this amazingly beautiful world then I think it’s worth a shot to try to save this show! Who’s with me?! my god, I am terrible with these sorts of things, forgive me

No, things aren’t looking great. TV Grimm Reaper expects it to be canceled:

Emerald City is likely to be canceled. Its ratings weren’t terrible for a Friday premiere, but they haven’t stopped declining. Last week’s 0.6 puts it into the likely canceled range, even for a Friday show. As you read the nonsense from the #PRJedi in the TV media about Emerald City being an “event series” remember what that means: If it had good ratings, it would be renewed. Since the ratings are bad, one season was always the plan! (x) (Can that mean that there isn’t actually a cliffhanger? lol) 

But! Tv By the Numbers says it’s still a toss up (same goes for Timeless, guys check that shit out too, it’s so awesome!).

Here are some things we can do:

(If anyone has anything else to add, please add! I am not the best with ratings info lol)

Watch it live! (WHY CAN’T I HAVE A NIESLEN BOX, WHY? I WATCH GOOD SHOWS, DAMN IT) If you can’t watch live, watch it legally through streaming sites like Hulu or nbc.com if you can. (I understand if you are outside the US it doesn’t count (WHY))

Tweet!! LIVE TWEET! During the show and before and after it airs (I think it’s 20 minutes before and after that it counts, I think?)! Use #EmeraldCity as a priority tag and then, hey, maybe we can get that and/or #SaveEmeraldCity to trend! And fans outside the US, this is where you can really help! It airs twice, once at 9 PM EST and 9 PM PST on Fridays (use google to find out what time that is for you and Tweet away! :D)

Follow Emerald City on all social media platforms and engage! Even if it’s a like! Sharing is great and promotes it. 

Spread the word! Maybe you can get some other people into it too! (Especially if they have a Nielsen box… bribe them them….)

Petition coming soon! :)

Fingers crossed!!! 

I totally agree! A lot can happen between 7x02 and the back half of the season! I am gonna have hope that she comes back for a couple more episodes, at least the finale. After all, that is what this show is all about right? Having Hope in Happy Endings? 

Hi Liz! I know that you are tired of people coming into your inbox and complaining and freaking out and stuff. I really hope that this message isn't like that, or else please ignore. I've remained optimistic that Jen will most likely appear for at least the series finale, if not for a couple more episodes. But today with her posts, it's actually the first time I've been worried, they seem so final. I know you've thought the same about her returning, do you still feel that way even after today?

I had a feeling I was going to get one of these LOL Look, the way I see it, she is contracted for this one episode, anything she does beyond episode 2 will require a new contract, new terms of agreement, new salary, etc. This is /technically/ the last time because she hasn’t agreed to anything anymore…yet. There’s a very long year ahead and she could very well change her mind under the right circumstances, which I still think is possible. It’s also possible that she’s filmed everything that they need for the whole story during this week and will simply insert them when appropriate, and yeah, it’s the last time. It’s also possible that saying anything but “last day/last time” gives too much of the plot away. My point is, we just don’t know what the future holds. But I actively choose to have hope so *shrugs* that’s still where I stand.

CS Storybook Update--8/26

The deadline is passed us and I have yet to hear from some people.  I also had a few people say they weren’t writing at the last minute, which I’ve had to find people to write collaborative stories so we don’t have any holes. However, this adds to the time it takes.  

PUBLISHING - Please do not post your stories until the book goes up. Once the book goes up, we ask you to wait 2 weeks to post them on FF/AO3 and tumblr but please link the storybook  OR you can publish at the same time as the book but only publish a couple of paragraphs and link the book for the rest of the story.  Our goal is to get the stories read by as large of a fan base as possible.  

Please check the list below.  If I the title is not bold with a line OR in italics, and you know them, please touch base as we need to know one way or the other if they are in or out.  

Thanks for your participation!   I have received the following.  If the title is bold, with no line, I have the art.  If the title is bold w/ a line, I have rec’d both story and art.  If it is in italics I have heard from the person.

I'm in!!!

Who around is all in for this Rogers storyline to come?

Rogers in HH, and before, with his new found lease on being a good guy and his redemption and his story with his daughter… Wanna know the people about that are all for it, so I can know the places to go to look for the meta and stuff in support of this version of Killian. 🤗

CSSB - Update (9/2)

Take a look at the amazing cover that @flipperbrain  created for our OTP’s love story.  

I’ve started collating the bear and there are many stories that have no titles, nor do they have whether the story is a deleted, divergent and where the scene starts.   

I’m including the Episode title on the story, BUT if you would like to send me the title, please do so by next Friday, September 8.   Current go is to finish it next weekend and have it up loaded sometime the following week. 

Keep reading

Does this help?

So I’m feeling a little under the weather and I think the only thing that will make me feel better is a spam of Mr. O’Donoghue.

Who wants to help?

i know i don’t usually do posts like this, but i feel really strongly about trying to get Netflix to pick up the NBC show: Emerald City. It’s honestly one of my favorite shows now, and completely underrated. it follows a poc lead, and takes a dark turn down the yellow brick road you thought you knew. It’s not afraid to open with a strong romance unlike so many other shows that string you along with the “desired” slow burn or a love triangle. the characters are complicated and interesting and leave you wanting to know more about each and every one of them. dorothy and lucas/the scarecrow bring a light to the show and their chemistry (imo) is off the charts. i’ve heard emerald city referred to as a mix of game of thrones and once upon a time, and i have to agree; though it comes without the constant storyline shifting that once upon a time did, and leaves you wanting more after every episode. it includes a bisexual lead, a trans lead, and a woman of color lead. honestly this show has so much to offer, and i’m really upset to see it go without a fight. whether or not you plan to watch please sign the petitions in the links below to help give this show a fighting chance at another season, for those of us who are not done with this dark retelling of a classic tale. https://www.change.org/p/netflix-save-emerald-city https://www.change.org/p/nbc-renew-emerald-city-for-season-2
