Don’t open messages like these.
I’m not sure if they’re from real user accounts or not so i blurred the names/icons, but just be careful. I’m getting new messages like this about every hour or so.
@staff, you’re probably already quite aware of this and working on it, but I’m giving you a poke just to be extra sure.
The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

I try to keep the things I reblog as blog/mun-centric as possible, but this is something I just can’t let slide.
I’ve been following this cause since last year. I’ve signed petitions, I’ve called representatives, I’ve been to protests, the whole nine yards.
This right here? This is not a joke. This is seriously happening, guys.
Remember the Wikipedia shutdown? That was to protest this right here. If you haven’t taken action against this yet, frankly, what is wrong with you? If this doesn’t get stopped, we’re going to lose the thing that brings us all together unless we shell out huge sums of cash to these corrupt bastards.
Do not just sit there and keep browsing.
Do not scroll past this.
Fight.
yo this shit important okay? im pretty worried myself
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, THIS IS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT GUYS, WE NEED TO STOP THIS IN ITS TRACKS NOW.
a new law is about to be passed in Saudi Arabia that will allow the government to execute people for coming out or being openly gay online.
ignoring the fact that this is literally something out of some kind of dystopian novel, in the interests of safety i’ve emptied out my face tag and may temporarily deactivate or password protect this blog.
please reblog this and get the word out, and if you pray, please pray for me and my fellow Saudi LGBTQ+/MOGAI family.
ALSO, for those who need it [x]. its a post on erasing all traces of yourself from the interwebs.
this is not something to read and keep to yourself. please spread this around. may Allah keep everyone safe.
This is the Money doll sending you all enchantments of blessings and wealth!

Y'all I reblogged this just an hour or so ago and I can’t sleep so I asked my deck if my cash advance in the office has been credited and it gave me The Chariot. I assumed it was a yes and I checked my account… guess what?! It’s there. Never miss the opportunity to reblog this, guys. I used to reblog this before and favorable things happened even before this incident. So keep the energy flowing and keep the good vibes rolling! Don’t forget, always reblog! Always!
FUCK CAPITALISM! This didn’t cost tax payers anything. You don’t need to be a governing body with a police force to do decent things.
THANK
Just going to pop this here for you guys.
Important ☝🏼️
REBLOGGING THE FUCK OUTTA THIS
If you are beginning your semester of school this upcoming week or sometime soon; I am wishing that you transition smoothly into your academic environment. I hope that you develop comfortable relationships with your professors and instructors. I pray any financial burdens that have arisen be resolved timely and easily.
things i never expected to learn through a tedtalk but now am glad to know:
the founder of Sirius XM radio is a sapphic trans woman and is currently trying to preserve her wife’s consciousness in a digital file so her wife can be immortal in the body of a robot.
heres the tedtalk if you dont believe because everyone deserves to know this reality of the amazing world in which we live
Holy shit you neglected to mention that when her daughter got a terminal disease with no cure or treatment possible she literally went to the library got some medical textbooks and taught herself enough biochemistry to actually begin developing a drug that halted the disease good god why have we never heard of this absolute genius
YOU KNOW WHY YOU K N O W W H Y
Real life tony stark is a gay trans woman
her name is Martine Rothblatt
she is also the founder and ceo of united therapeutics, the biotechnology company that under her leadership developed the first treatment for pulmonary hypertension, and she worked on the human genome project
Some advice for dressmakers:
1. Pockets are a thing. 2. Breasts are a thing.
Leave room in your design for both.
#I’m looking at you summer dresses #made for people with flat chests#and no material possessions they need to carry with them (via @ticktockclockwork)
Yep, this is a real problem. From a design stand point it saves fabric and time since you don’t have to add any darts or pockets, and they go with the premise that a flat square shape should fit everyone without having to make much changes to the pattern (except to make it bigger or smaller). This whole one-size-fits-all mentality in fashion is so flawed, and actually impractical, it really annoys me how teachers let it slide in college and how the apparel industry continues to spew it year after year.
As someone who has breasts (DDD-H depending on what manufacturer I’m talking to) and loves pockets, let me wholeheartedly recommend eshakti.com. I started buying dresses from them in November and I love them. They will customize necklines, hemlines, etc., for a $9.95 flat fee, they will customize to your measurements if you don’t fit a standard size, and I’ve really enjoyed all my dresses from them. Most of their dresses come in sizes from XS to 6XL Feel free to message or send me an ask if you have specific questions!
UHM EXCUSE ME I JUST CHECKED THEM OUT AND??????
THEIR
DRESSES
ARE
AMAZING??? AND THIS IS JUST THE DRESSES????
Reblogging for my wife. Check it out, @thisallegra!
I worship EShakti. As a short, big girl with giant hips and boobs….I can get dresses that actually fit me and prove that I do have a waist! And yes….all the pockets in everything! Huge pockets, too!
@homosexualexpress !!!!!!!!!!!!
YES MY MOM RECOMMENDED THIS TO ME? and I forgot it existed, thank you for reblogging @yooleebird, and reminding me and my 32GG/H boobs that I, too, can wear cute dresses
I CAN LOOK LIKE MRS. FRIZZLE!!

I knew this but I’m reblogging cause someone might not know
I’m saving this.
i know!!! the stupid liberal government has decided on the plebiscite and even tho it’s a waste of money….. please vote!! IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE 18 BEFORE NOVEMBER 25 ENROLL TO VOTE!!! PLEASE DO NOT THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME AND SO MANY OTHERS!!!!!!! PLEASE VOTE YES ON MARRIAGE EQUALITY!!!!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
HEY AMERICANS/THE REST OF THE WORLD WE REBLOGGED YOUR STUFF REBLOG THIS PLS
Additional: The reason this vote is so important is the Australian Government has decided that a ‘NO’ vote is BINDING. That means is a majority of people vote ‘NO’ this matter WILL BE CONSIDERED END OF DISCUSSION/NO MARRIAGE EQUALITY while a majority ‘YES’ vote only means that the politicians will discuss the possibility of a vote. WE NEED ‘YES’ VOTES JUST TO GET THIS TOPIC DEBATED IN PARLIAMENT SO PLEASE VOTE. ENROLEMENT TO VOTE CLOSES AUGUST 24. YOU MUST BE REGISTERED BEFORE THEN TO BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR SAY ON THIS ISSUE.
The current definition excludes everyone with an officially recognised nonbinary gender, regardless of their sex or the sex of their partner, as it says specifically “between a man and a woman”. The proposed change will be more gender neutral and include nonbinary genders. If any of y'all can, please enrol and vote yes, ask your family to vote yes, make sure everyone you know has updated their details, as the ballots will be sent to the address they have for you on the electoral roll. Let’s get us some rights!
Let bi boys date girls
Who isn’t letting them……
Gay boys who see me with a girl and say I shouldn’t be allowed in lgbt spaces because I’m actually really straight
Straight girls who see me as their “gay friend” or who say they don’t care about sexuality but wouldn’t date a boy who’s had sex with a boy
Straight people in general who say “isn’t he really just gay” or telling girls that I’m actually gay and faking it with them
Gay people who say that because I have the option of dating a girl I’m the same as the straight people who oppress our community
Gay people who say I’ll never understand oppression or what it’s like to “actually” be gay
So there’s quite a few people not letting them!!
This story is a perennial internet favorite. I like to post it every few months or so. I find it very inspiring. It was written by the American secular Buddhist author Andy Weir who also wrote the novel and screenplay for the Mat Damon film “The Martian”. Enjoy. Sam.

You were on your way home when you died.
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. And that’s when you met me.
“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?” “You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words. “There was a… a truck and it was skidding…” “Yup,” I said. “I… I died?”
“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said. You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?” “More or less,” I said. “Are you god?” You asked.
“Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.” “My kids… my wife,” you said. “What about them?” “Will they be all right?”
“That’s what I like to see,” I said. “You just died and your main concern is for your family. That’s good stuff right there.” You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn’t look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty.
“Don’t worry,” I said. “They’ll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn’t have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it’s any consolation, she’ll feel very guilty for feeling relieved.” “Oh,” you said. “So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?”
You’re up again, Tumblr.
Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won.
That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.
His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.
Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.
The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.
You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:
I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.
The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them.
The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.
Please leave the existing existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.
Thank you!
If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.
Everyone is counting on everyone else here. Do your part and tell the FCC to keep a free and open internet under Title II.
