Thank You, I Thought I Was Going Crazy There For A Second.

Feesh

CALM DOWN ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY.

Don’t worry. They still have to go to court.

But guess what? There’s something you didn’t know about the vote.

Get this: the vote was basically illegal.

You heard me right. Eric Schneiderman, American lawyer, said in Twitter: “I will sue to stop the FCC’s illegal rollback of #netneutrality. New Yorkers and all Americans deserve a free and open internet.”

Not only do we have another ally, but now we know that the vote wasn’t supposed to happen.

We’ve got this. Now the REAL FIGHT starts now.

Why Isn’t Tumblr Freaking Out?!?!

Guys. Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!!!!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)

They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!

You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.

If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!

You’d need a license for everything!!!!

And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.

No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!

Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.

Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).

I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!

I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.

So, here’s a deal

Net neutrality is something very few Americans are going to afford going away

Any small schools? Pfft, they can barely. Maintain their buildings. What makes you think they can afford it?

Middle class? Not all of them.

Jobs online? Many are gonna suffer

Youtubers. A good amount will vanish

Artists? Woah that is much less money

So here is a deal

If they decide to get rid of it. Boycott

Stop paying these companies, dammit

You can live without your phone

Your Netflix

Your Tumblr

Just to tell them no.

If they don’t listen to our words

Then they WILL listen to the lack of money

Wishing a speedy recovery to Anthony Borges, 15. Used his body to hold a door closed to protect his classmates. Shot 5 times Hero.

Please reblog if you think that “they/them/theirs” is a valid set of pronouns.

DnD character design question for you guys...

Played this way of mercy tiefling monk recently in a game. And it's come to my attention that I'm eventually gonna have to draw him without the mask. (when I get my drawing tablet fixed anyway)

Took a vote with my friends whether or not he should look hot or terrifying underneath. It came to a unanimous vote for "Both." I figured what better site to ask for help with this conundrum than this one, so any suggestions I will take into consideration! Thanks!

McGucket and Gideon?

Almost time to say goodbye to Lil Gideon

Net Neutrality protections will be repealed tomorrow (Monday, June 11th, 2018).

Net Neutrality protections will be repealed tomorrow (Monday, June 11th, 2018), and over the next several months to a year, by my estimation, you will probably see a drastic change in the internet. Your internet bill will sky rocket, people will be censored, news outlets won’t load. Its all predictable, yet unpredictable what will happen.

But remember that the most important thing to do now, besides continuing to call your representatives, is to VOTE IN THE UPCOMING PRIMARIES, AND THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER. If we can flip enough states from red to blue, it will greatly help us fight back. Ajit Pai tried to stop us from getting access to important information, and he succeeded in destroying NN, but he was too late to stop us from informing ourselves. We know what to do now. We have to strap on our metaphorical combat boots, educate ourselves and others, help others to register to vote, and get the word out about candidates in your area.

EDIT: The CRA (Congressional Review Act) still has until December 31st to be voted on, so it can still be passed!

We can get Net Neutrality back, but it will not happen overnight.

Good Luck.
