Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!
This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!
Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!
Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.
Hello Everyone!! My shop is opened for the holidays! The Winter is gonna be rough on the finances so I appreciate all the help I can get! I also added some Of my Foil Prints even though they’re a risk to ship out I’ll do my best to have them sent to you guys out safely! Store also features gaming mousepads and the usual Buttons/Magnets to shower yourselves in. (please do not shower yourselves in it, that sounds dangerous. You may roll around in them once with the right safety precautions though)
if net neutrality is taken away, your parents are gonna know every website you go on because now they have to pay for each of those websites.
you have a private tumblr/instagram/twitter/etc where you rant about your day or talk about your mental health and express your feelings without having to worry about judgement from irl family/friends/peers? if net neutrality is taken away, now they’ll have to know about it. have an account dedicated to porn, posting nudes, or sex? well, if net neutrality is gone, it’s taken away. not supposed to be online talking to strangers because of strict parents? there goes that too.
not only is all that lost (something that has honestly gotten me through some hard periods in my life because of my online friends and the ability to talk freely about what I’m going through without my parents knowing every detail), but now you can’t just search whatever you want and get that information right away. whether you need to look up something for math help, have a question about when a celebrities birthday is, or want to look at pictures of cute dogs: that is all monitored and can be blocked if your internet service provider deems it unnecessary or doesn’t want you to look at it. to my knowledge, you have to pay for all of that.
(mentioning this because expressing creativity is near and dear to my heart) net neutrality is going to make things so much harder for content creators, like YouTubers and artists and cartoonists and writers and photographers that share their work and get their following online. !!net neutrality is going to make just about everything harder, except for large corporations!!
in such a technological world, this. isn’t. FAIR. this isn’t RIGHT. and we can’t let these rich people who want even more money take away our internet!!
contact your representatives and spread the word. I’ve heard that it’s not acceptable to fill out net neutrality related things online and send them emails because of too many bots sending it to them. call them, write them. I know phone-calls can be scary and awkward (I recommend writing or typing out exactly what you want to say to them), but please consider taking the five minutes to talk to them to help save our internet.
this is an actual thing. this isn’t a joke. if we don’t do something about it, the internet as we know it and as we love it is going to change drastically, and not for the better.
They don’t care about the public’s opinion anymore??? Are you shitting me??? Isn't America supposed to be a democracy where the people have a say in the future of this country?? They say they won’t listen to opinions anymore.
GUYS PUMP OUT COLD HARD FACTS. I’LL BE WRITING AN EMAIL TO THE HEAD SCUMBAG HIMSELF WITH SOME COLD HARD FACTS. I SUGGEST YOU GUYS DO THE SAME!!!
ps: i know I’m being obnoxious with all the unnecessary punctuation and all caps but i need to get the message across.
I absolutely agree with rephrasing the letters and redoubling efforts but as cathartic as it is to send letters directly to Ajit Pai, it’s misdirecting useful energy. He is about as anti-net neutrality as it is physically possible to be and even if you are a lawyer and you send perfectly phrased legalese to him, he is not going to change his position. The key here is to send messages to people that can potentially be swayed.

These are the other commissioners of the FCC. Please, aside from your senators and representatives, email these people and let them hear your voice.
(x) This is a link to the leadership page for the FCC, under each name is a tab where you can email them directly, please take the time to do so if you can.
FYI, I had a couple of posts tagged net neutrality scheduled to go out over the last couple days but they somehow never showed up? I’m suspicious now that they’re being censored. Keep an eye out for this.
this literally just happened i’ll post the screen cap in second
Error Code: OCP02 [Post Not Found] does this violate current net neutrality itself? like censoring posts like this …
It sure does. Big companies have been censoring content and voices for years, but without net neutrality they’ll basically be getting paid to do it en masse. It’ll get way worse way fast.
FUCK THIS MEME AND FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO ARE MAKING JOKES I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS
How dare some one own something that a. might have been a gift, b.
might have been bought before they fell into poverty, c. might have been
on sale/at a thrift store, or d. IT’S ALSO NONE OF YOUR FUCKING
BUSINESS
STOP FORCING US INTO RAGS BEFORE YOU BELIEVE OUR
STRUGGLE AND I WILL START WEARING BOOTS LIKE THIS TO STEP ON THE THROATS
OF ANYONE WHO SAYS SHIT LIKE THIS
I AM FUCKING *DONE*
PS If anyone knows the person in the original photo, you can let them know they have the backing/support of an angry valkyrie
I had to shut down one of my friends on this the other day as well. I own a pair of New Rocks. I bought them when I was better off, and the fact that I owned them didn’t stop me from slowly starving to death 5 years down the line. Boots like that are a surprisingly good investment because my gods, they are built to LAST. I have taken my boots larping, worn them for three days straight in some awful terrain and they’re nearly 8 years old at this point and showing no signs of giving up the ghost.
So yeah, I have expensive boots. As the lovely Shinga said, all the better for stomping on a moptherfucker’s throat.
I bought my twenty hole Doc Martens fifteen years ago secondhand for twenty bucks. They’re still in great condition; only thing to wear out was the laces and they were already sketchy when I got them.
