Top 10 Songs of the Moment!

Music tag!

I was tagged to do this by @keys-asshole​

Rules: list ten songs you’re currently obsessed with and tag ten others. (lol, I’m only tagging 2 people but if you want to do it have fun)

So I haven’t posted anything for a really long time. I’ve been dealing with severe depression and anxiety over the past 9 months, but I’m finally starting to feel better. I thought since I was tagged for this, it would be a good way for me to start posting things again. 

I’ll tag people here because this is gonna be a long post. Lol.

If you want to know my top ten songs then...

Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr

That’s what is going to happen if we let Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, go through with repealing Title II (AKA Net Neutrality).

Simply put, without Net Neutrality, Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to “bundle” websites much like cable ON TOP OF paying for internet connection. “Want access to Netflix AND Tumblr? Get the Entertainment Package! $40 a month. What about Amazon and Ebay? Add an extra $20 a month to get the Shopping Package.”

Not only will they be able to bundle websites and charge more, they will also be able to censor and block websites that they don’t agree with entirely.

THIS WILL BE THE END OF INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.

For business owners, it will be even worse. Ex: Comcast will ask Amazon to pay high fees to be available in a low-cost package, fees that websites like Poshmark or Etsy will not be able to pay. Therefore, only Fortune 500’s will be available to web users at a low cost. Say goodbye to Etsy (unless you’re willing to shell out $70 a month for the “All-Inclusive” package).

To learn about Net Neutrality, why it’s important, and/or want tools to help you fight for Net Neutrality, visit BattleForTheNet (https://www.battleforthenet.com)

There are five people deciding the future of the internet, three men (Rep) and two women (Dem). The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a NO vote to save Net Neutrality.

There are many ways you can help:

WHAT TO DO IF YOU’RE A LAZY TUMBLR USER WITH ANXIETY WHO TRIES TO HELP WITH JUST REBLOGS / LIKES:

Here are 2 petitions to sign, one international and one exclusively US.

(After you sign make sure to verify via email, it may take up to 30 mins to receive the email).

Text “resist” to 504-09. It’s a bot that will send a formal email, fax, and letter to your representatives. It also finds your representatives for you. All you have to do is text it and it holds your hand the whole way.

HERE ARE MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE:

These are the emails of the 5 people on the FCC roster.

Blow up their inboxes!

Ajit Pai - Ajit.Pai@fcc.gov

Mignon Clyburn - Mignon.Clyburn@fcc.gov

Michael O'Rielly - Mike.O'Rielly@fcc.gov

Brendan Carr - Brendan.Carr@fcc.gov

Jessica Rosenworcel - Jessica.Rosenworcel@fcc.gov

You can support groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU and Free Press who are fighting to keep Net Neutrality:

Set them as your charity on Amazon Smile here (https://smile.amazon.com/)

Write to your House Representative here

Write to the FCC here (https://www.fcc.gov/about/contact)

Here’s an easier URL you can use thanks to John Oliver (http://www.gofccyourself.com)

Also check this out, which was made by the EFF and is a low transaction cost tool for writing all your reps in one fell swoop.

Most importantly, VOTE. This should not be something that is so clearly split between the political parties as it affects all Americans, but unfortunately it is.

There’s a link on here for us international ppl to support!

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to stay involved with this, especially in the US. This is the most efficient way the government can shut down resistance and control the flow of information they want people to receive. If people can’t use stuff like Facebook and Tumblr to organize and protest, it could be devastating. Protest now, or start reading 1984, because that’ll be life without net neutrality.

Just reminding and emphasising too; Please when writing letters or speaking on the phone don’t use copypasted scripts and such. Actually make your message personal, tell them why this harms you and others, why this is important ,etc… Not just for this but everything, because it will be ignored if it’s just a repeat message they’ve seen a thousand times.

I can’t emphasize that enough.
