Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.
We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.
In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.
Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.
This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.

if you ever doubt your writing, be it your themes, or the reason behind it, remember that h.g wells wrote war of the worlds both as a commentary on colonialism and the horrors it brings, and because he fucking hated his neighbours and his 13 hour job, and wanted to write about the town in which he lived getting blasted to the fucking ground by lasers into an irreparable heap and all of the townspeople dying painfully
you, too, can channel your hatred for that guy that lives down the hall and blasts music at 4am into the one of the most influential science fiction stories ever written! fuck it! i believe in you!!

Well, we already know they are among the fandom. Personally, I hope they do also write fanfic and share it. I am sure it can be frustrating to not have complete control over the characters and the story that help create.

POST/CONFESSIONS DO NOT REFLECT THE MOD’S PERSONAL OPINIONS!
Not everyone will like your fic. Write it anyway.
Not everyone will like your art. Keep drawing.
Not everyone will like your moodboards/edits/vids. Make more.
Pursue your craft because it makes you happy, and just know that there are people out there who adore everything you create and can’t wait for more. And there are fans that haven’t found you yet, but your content will change their life.
Keep creating, okay?
I love you guys. And I support you all so hard.
happy tdov to the trans people who can’t or don’t want to transition, who are in an unsupportive place, or who are still unsure of their identities. you are just as amazing and valid as every other trans person and you deserve just as much love. ♡
Sofia. She/her. Writer, thinker, listener, trans woman, and supporter of the Oxford Comma.
