EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting. 

If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr. 

THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. 

IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES. 

WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR. 

So here is what you need to do to drag this article down. 

1. Spread the word 

I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down. 

2. Make your own content 

Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved. 

3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs 

Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD. 

The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people. 

Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.” 

We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post. 

FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE. 

Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can. 

Edit: I’ve noticed that some people are having trouble with getting the video to work. So here is the new link

Plus thanks to user @rwby- 13 for giving me a link to this Change.org petition!

A plan is a list of things that go wrong. So make it short,say "fuck it", improvise, adapt and overcome.

Meme novel

This happened in a group chat of meme-y shenanigans

Person A : I had a PSP once and I used to play naruto on it

Person A : I was once married then she took the kids

Person B : I once had a place to call home

Person A : I was asked a question once but then I replied in the most obscure way ever "I bet you have a girlfriend, i bet she doesnt kiss ya."

Person B : But he smirked, tipped his fedora, muttered the words "I'm already tracer"

Person A : And the words of the surgeon rebutted "I did surgery on a grape"

Person B : The man giggled, under his breath calling him pathetic, and then raised his head, eyes fixated to the surgeons, and he said, with eyes wide open " hi "did surgery on a grape" I'm DAD"

Person A : But that's when the head surgeon removed his human skin. With the man in shock and awe of who stood in front of him in the most daunting stature. The puny man in front of this figure collapsed in the words whispered into his ears "it's all Ogre now"

Person B : The man, despite looking rather scandalized, was unfazed, with his signature smirk appearing on his face again, he spoke "I'm not a gnelf" pausing for a mere second and continuing as he too ripped away the fabricated skin "I'm a GNOME, AND YOU'VE BEEN GNOMED" as he left the ogre in the state of complete oblivion.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk of november of 2018. I'll be here till I die or till I mature enough to be responsible which let's be honest, none of us want to be responsible for shit.

For The Love of Chamomile Tea

I wrote this poem sipping Chamomile tea at the end of the world or it might have been the beginning I can’t tell it could’ve also been the middle things are always a little fuzzy when I drink Chamomile tea, especially the organic kind with the bits of orange rind that cause me to remember when I close my eyes snippets of a childhood I never lived but would’ve liked to and may still have a chance to in another life when I will most likely remember to take advantage of all the opportunities I missed from this life like hugging strangers and telling them I love them or putting the toilet seat down after I’ve peed, or always having exact change for toll booths and busses, or making origami mythical beasts that no one has ever seen so they will never know when I’ve made a mistake. I love Chamomile tea, even when it’s not organic and the real or imagined toxins laugh at me, I love it more at the end of the world where I find myself a lot lately worrying, agonizing, praying, that it might actually be the beginning since there are a lot of things banging around both outside and inside my head, that fill me with the dread I may have missed the beginning and I’m really in the middle, I don’t know completely The GPS on my phone is off I sound like a tourist and here, the chamomile tea they say, is good for sleeping.

:'D this is such a beautiful poem.
