PLEASE, PLEASE STOP SCROLLING.
BOOST, BOOST, BOOST! Especially if you don’t live in the U.S., because that’s all you can do to help us.
If you DO live here, this post has 5 things you can do; feel free to skip to the bullet points.
I’m sure you’re sick of seeing this, but we are in the final stages of the Net Neutrality repeal. I know long posts about this can be overwhelming, so at least just pick a bullet point and do it! HOPE IS NOT LOST YET.
WE STILL HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE — Until April 27th
There’s a CRA (Congressional Review Act) vote to get Net Neutrality back, and it may still win. THIS IS BECAUSE OF US!!! Enough people in congress listened to our calls, emails, and tweets, so a CRA has been called for to try and stop Ajit Pai.
Long posts about this can be overwhelming, so I’ll keep it simple and just list some quick and easy options below for how you can help save it. WE’VE ALREADY MADE PROGRESS, KEEP GOING! WE’RE SO CLOSE! I’m lucky enough to have the ability to do these, so I’m doing all of them, even though it’s hard for me. Do it for the people who can’t. Do it for those who will LOSE THEIR JOBS or their educations or their friends or their support. Do it for the kids too young to use a phone. Do it for the families who might be put out of homes. Do it for everyone.
WE NEED ONE MORE SENATE VOTE. DO AT LEAST ONE OF THESE 5 THINGS IF YOU’RE PHYSICALLY CAPABLE
[Info and Resources for Action]
- FIRST OFF, if you don’t know what to say, here are some basic templates as well as my own that have had an effect in the past.
- For your Senator’s contact info (phone/email/twitter/etc): http://act.commoncause.org/site/PageServer?pagename=sunlight_advocacy_list_page
[Action to Take]
KEY: bold = most important, *** = quickest/easiest to do
- Here you can write anything and they’ll email it around: https://www.battleforthenet.com/
- *** OR just scroll down and click a Senator to tweet them.
- *** Just type your zip code here, and it’ll email/tweet your Senators! https://www.publicknowledge.org/act-now/tell-congress-to-use-the-cra-to-save-net-neutrality/#anchor
- Text RESIST to 50409 (reply Senate, then copy any of the templates or write your own) — it’ll automatically email/fax it
- *** Reblog, Retweet, and tell people as much as possible! But that alone isn’t enough. Get your friends/family/classmates to do these, too!!!
If you can do this last one, if you’re at all able, do it.
- Call the Capitol at 202-224-3121. Just say where you’re from and they’ll transfer you to your senator’s office. Here’s a template for what to say:
“Hello, I’m [name], and I’m a constituent of Senator [name]. I’m calling to urge them to vote in support of net neutrality, as it is very important to the general public. I am watching their actions on net neutrality, and it will influence my vote in coming years. Thank you!”
(This also works as a great template for tweets/emails to your Senators)
Side Note: You can go here to see how many calls each of your Sen/Reps have already received: https://www.battleforthenet.com/scoreboard/ – it’s cool to see that a lot of calls CAN AND HAVE change(d) the vote!
THIS IS 2018 — WE CAN VOTE THEM OUT THIS YEAR AND THEY KNOW IT. USE THAT LEVERAGE.
I will be doing this when i get home! And so should you!
THANK YOU @yt-memes! I finished doing all of these, and I’m so glad I did. Back in December we managed to change one of our Reps’ mind, which is saying something considering how conservative Texas is lol. So if WE could do it back then, Y’ALL have a shot at it now, but only if we really, really try.
It’s so easy to just reblog these things, but actually DOING it is what makes the difference, so thank god for people like you
Sharing is the least i can do. I’m not able to do any of this but for the love of god, PLEASE help. This isn’t something to be brushed off and thinking “someone will do it” isn’t enough. This is super important.
Thank you for doing what you can! You’re absolutely right, nothing will happen if everyone just thinks someone else will do it. We need EVERYONE who can to do it so we stand a chance
i can’t believe all the people losing their shit over this post are the same people who make ‘triggered’ jokes.
Here’s the thing.
If you at all monitor your language based on your audience—avoiding curse words in front of kids, using bigger words in front of your boss—you obviously care about the impression your words give people.
Do you avoid talking about the attractive sex after your bestie’s breakup? Congratulations, friend, you’re being a decent human being.
Your friend wishes you call them Charlie instead of Charlotte. It’s just a nickname. Would you say “No, your birth certificate says Charlotte so I’m calling you Charlotte?”
Your co-worker tells you that he gets extremely uncomfortable when you clap him on the shoulder, due to a creepy uncle who did the same thing. Do you make a point to clap him on the shoulder every time you see him?
It is really not that difficult to be “politically correct.” It does not mean that you must eliminate all opinions completely, it merely means—at a basic level—that you should attempt to be aware of your audience and how your words and actions affect them.
Don’t call it being “PC,” if you must. Call it being “aware and empathetic.” Being a human with decency and respect for other people, cultures, and experiences.
^boom. couldn’t have said it better myself.
Tldr: You’re not being “word policed” when people expect you to have manners.
The laugh was what sold me

So my dog is a 210 pound Great Dane who has never had a toy smaller than a car tire before, and he always rips them to sheds within a couple weeks.
Recently my sister got him the biggest toy she could find in the doggy toy section, a toy owl about the size of my dog’s head.
He smelled it, took it delicately in his mouth, then just dropped it on the floor and has barely touched it since.
But I keep finding him with it near him while he is sleeping.
I haven’t put it there, and neither has my mum.
He never chews on it, like he is afraid to break it.
And it is always right near his head when he sleeps.
I think he has accepted the tiny owl as his pet.
When the fuck did this get notes Did someone famous reblog my tiny puppy boy
DOGS ARE SO PURE.
👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿
EXPOSE THEM
Can we talk about this?!
HEY remember in WWII when Jewish people were fleeing Germany and the USA put a quota on how many Jewish immigrants they would accept because they were worried there were too many Jewish people coming over to the USA???
Reminder that the USA has always been fucking garbage to immigrants and basic humanity
Here’s how you can help:
- Sign this petition calling for the investigation of the mass murder and torture of LGBT people in Chechnya
- Support the Rainbow Railroad, actively involved in rescuing LGBTQ+ facing violence in their home countries
- Read this article by out.com for more ways you can help stop Chechnya’s concentration camps
Please reblog this. There’s a lot of arguing in the reblogs/replies, but no links to actual concrete ways to become of help to these people.
can you imagine not being human & just living out your days as a weeping willow, though? beautiful? by the water? unburdened? ideal
I wanna be the one from Harry Potter that beats the shit out of everyone and everything
The RNC sent me a notice of official census material that was actually a fundraiser for the republican candidates running in the midterms. The paperwork was presented as being an official document required to be filled out by law, but it was patently false. This is corruption. This is meant to deceive people into giving data and money to a political party under the guise of nonpartisan census data. This undermines trust in the census, local government, and the democratic process. This is beyond disgusting, and I’m mailing back the form to tell the RNC how I really feel about their bullshit.
Signal boost. LOOK OUT FOR THIS BULLSHIT!
PREACH
Let’s be real. If little girls’ knees, shoulders, and clavicles are a problem for male teachers, you don’t have a dress code issue. You have a pedophile issue.
Y. E. S.
Seriously though.
we should make fun of americans more. why dont their shops include tax in the price tag. like how much does this item cost? its a surprise :)
like how are you gonna invent fast food and 24/7 convenience stores and all this shit to make it easy as hell to buy shit but then not even put the right labels on things
