I’ve changed my avatar in preparation for the day of action to save net neutrality.
Net neutrality is really important. Basically, right now, the internet is treated as a utility, like water and gas. Everybody’s rates are the same, and nobody can pay more for faster or better service.
This may be about to change.
The FCC and Chairman Ajit Pai want to reclassify the internet to make it just like phone and cable services, i.e., companies charging exorbitant prices for shoddy services and charging even more if you want faster service.
If net neutrality fails, ISPs can slow down or even block websites completely, which would stifle and kill the innovation, creativity, and free expression the internet has allowed us to have. Without net neutrality, the internet will be just like cable TV: the content you see is only what the provider puts in front of you.
That means if they don’t like your startup website or the website you made for your new company, they can charge you exorbitant fees, which they then pass down to consumers, for allowing your website to even exist.
That means that if they don’t like anything the Resistance does (and they wouldn’t like most of it; Comcast and Verizon are multimillion dollar donors to the GOP), they can block these websites. Your efforts at resisting the Trump administration will be suppressed.
If you are poor, or live in a rural area, you won’t be able to afford the exorbitant rates ISPs would charge for even basic internet access. This is designed specifically to target the poor and POC.
Websites, Internet users, and online communities will come together to
sound the alarm about the FCC’s attack on net neutrality. Battleforthenet.com (linked above) is your resource guide.
I strongly, STRONGLY urge you to participate.
Artists who use the internet to promote your work, you have a stake in this fight.
Anybody who reads fic on AO3, you have a stake in this fight.
Anybody who’s ever had an online shop or store, you have a stake in this fight.

Hey guys, so I was thinking since yugioh arc v recently ended, we could do a zine to celebrate its success. I just however don’t see really anything for arc v so I was wondering if we could possibly organize it as a collective fandom? I’m not sure if it’ll be nonprofit, paid, or free, but we can work it out later! I just want to know if people are interested before I figure more stuff out.

Please be respectful of others. I literally cannot stress this enough. If I tell you to stop something, STOP or I’m kicking you out of the stream.
Don’t make any gross comments about one character sexually assaulting another. You won’t get a single warning on this.
No shit talking just to stir up trouble. We’re all there to enjoy ourselves. Don’t screw around with people just because you can. I’m not going to tolerate that.
Try to limit your spoilers. Some people watching the stream will be a bit behind others. It’s just how streams are.
Hooooly shit. According to this writer, Xfinity is falsely impersonating its customers in order to post anti-net neutrality comments on the FCC website.
Try to even it out by visiting gofccyourself.com and hitting +EXPRESS and leaving a pro-net neutrality comment.
Comcastroturf.com explains to the public that “someone has submitted nearly half a million anti-net neutrality comments to the FCC, many of which appear to be completely fake — using stolen names and addresses,” and gives anyone an opportunity to check if their name is being used without their knowledge. Today, Fight for the Future released a statement to announce that Comcast’s attorneys had sent them a cease and desist order that insists the group “take all steps necessary to see that the Domain Name [Comcastroturf.com] is assigned to Comcast.”
Oh
My name was on there and I’ve never been a comcast customer…. you better check for your name!
wow, I was on there too, and same here, never been a comcast customer in my life. check and make sure! this is so gross
Hi, everyone!! Because of the airdates of VRains, I’ve been considering doing an alternative stream every week when the subs come out. 4 AM on a weeknight really doesn’t work for a lot of people, myself included, and I think a stream the next day would be a lot more viable for everyone. Additionally, I download 720p .mkvs as the subs as they’re posted, so the stream would be somewhat higher quality because it would be streaming a file, rather than a stream of a stream.
Depending on when the subs are posted, the stream would probably be around Wednesdays at 9:00 PM CST. The stream link would probably be up around 8:45, but I’d just be showing dumb stuff while people came in until 9. Links to the stream would probably be posted on my sideblog, @bessho-ema, rather than here.
This is all just a tentative idea for now, so if you’re interested please let me know!! I’ll start with episode 4 onwards if people would like this, though I’m not opposed to starting with a stream of the first 4 episodes~
I’m financially struggling. Due to my heavy load of uni work I had to close commissions, but because of this I am struggling to raise my bank balance up. I can’t afford groceries, bus fare and rent all the time. Due to not buying enough food I am often too weak to even work on my important assignments.
I need all 4 wisdom teeth removed as of a recent checkup, and I won’t be able to pay for that myself in years unless someone hires me.
I don’t have a job and have been applying to places for years, and my autism and (often severe) anxiety affects me getting employed. So while my commissions are closed,I ask for help.
If you have any advice on getting jobs or earning money, that would mean so much to me!
Any amount will be highly appreciated, and reblogs mean a lot to me. If you would rather to commission me instead, message me. But they’re closed for a reason; I’m busy and my art would be months late.
I ordered the wedding dress today I’m making Kaiba’s coat out of and I need some good backside-view shots of it. DSOD is has pretty much no full-body back views. (Of Kaiba. Apparently it was extremely necessary to have a slow-mo dramatic walk-in focused on Atem’s ass, which doesn’t help me at all.)
… yes, I am asking for HD shots of Kaiba’s ass for a DSOD cosplay.
So basically I need Battle City and forward, but in HD, because I’m gonna have to go HELLA on this wiring and seeing how the fucking thing actually moves would be, you know, helpful.
Anybody know where I can find? Or have some to share?

My best friend and I are creating an app to help closeted LGBTQIA+ kids in abusive situations.
The app is finished, and we plan on submitting it to the Technovation competition in April.
But there’s one problem.
We can’t get the app to help people if we don’t have the data.
The competition states we must source our own data through a survey, and if we don’t get enough participants, we can’t submit or release the app until we prove that there’s a need for it.
We already polled our school’s relatively small GSA, but that gave us biased answers that weren’t enough to successfully draw a conclusion.
Please,take this survey. No matter your sexuality, gender, preference, race, or anything of that matter. We need data to make this work.
More importantly, we need you to make this work.
The difference between this app helping people, and sitting in a trash folder on my computer is the amount of data this survey collects.
If you can, please help us out.
Hey everyone, I took the survey and it literally takes less than a minute. This is a simple and easy way to help out the LGBTQIA+ community. Take it and reblog! - Casper
VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL DUEL LINKS PLAYERS.
PREVIOUS VERSIONS BEFORE 1.4 WILL BE NO LONGER VIABLE BEGINNING MARCH 23RD. YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA.
YOU NEED TO TRANSFER YOUR DATA.
GO TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND CLICK ON THE COG. WHEN IT BRINGS YOU TO THE NEXT PAGE, CLICK DATA TRANSFER SETTINGS.
FOR MOST PLAYERS, YOU WILL NEED TO GET A KONAMI ID TO MOVE DATA. JUST SET UP AN ACCOUNT AND FOLLOW THE STEPS.
YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA WITHOUT THE TRANSFER.
TRANSFER BEFORE MARCH 23RD.
REBLOG TO LET OTHER PLAYERS KNOW
Adding on, if you don’t have a Konami account, go into the settings in the game and it will provide you an option to generate a KONAMI account, very easy to set up!
Hey Guys! So Marvel is out of control. The fact that they gave this asshole a voice to turn Steve Rogers into a Nazi is horrifying. It’s also worth noting that he’s the asshole behind the whole “M-Word” thing from Uncanny Avengers.
and now, they’re having Magneto team up with Hydra. No, shut up, I DON’T CARE if it’s just a media plug it is horrifying and I am disgusted. There is no reason to even tiptoe around it, this is wrong and it needs to stop.
SO HERE’S SOME CONTACT INFO FOR MARVEL. Please write letters, e-mails, tweets, call if you’re able because fuck you, Marvel. Tell Marvel This Is Not Okay.
This is the number listed for Isaac Perlmutter, senior executive of Marvel, who immigrated from Israel: 1-212-576-4000
I’d recommend not contacting Nick Spencer directly, especially via tweet, because he’s a giant baby who whines a lot when people call his dumbass ideas dumbass and he’s just a giant headache you don’t need to deal with.
I won’t stand for this, spread this my followers, please!
It’s literally just a movie???? Like chill tf out.
Actually it’s a comic book storyline, annnddd actually especially considering the rise in antisemetic events such as bomb threats and grave vandalism not only in the U.S. but throughout the world at the moment, the decision to even hint at a concentration camp survivor teaming up with a Nazi founded organization is incredibly tone deaf and shows a disrespect for the Jewish community.
Wow people get pissy about the lamest shit now a days
because making a holocaust survivor team up with Nazis while there’s been an increase in anti-semetic attacks is the lamest shit.
