CALM DOWN ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY.
Don’t worry. They still have to go to court.
But guess what? There’s something you didn’t know about the vote.
Get this: the vote was basically illegal.
You heard me right. Eric Schneiderman, American lawyer, said in Twitter: “I will sue to stop the FCC’s illegal rollback of #netneutrality. New Yorkers and all Americans deserve a free and open internet.”
Not only do we have another ally, but now we know that the vote wasn’t supposed to happen.
We’ve got this. Now the REAL FIGHT starts now.
And wasn’t suppose to happen because
- There was no research committee. Pai pulled “facts” out of his ass and will now have to defend his “evidence” in court.
- There was a “voter fraud” in that many of the comments for the repeal was made by stealing people’s online identities. Pai could also be charged with identity theft.
- They blatantly ignored the millions of Americans who wanted to save net neutrality and yes the FCC is beholden to the people even if they aren’t elected officials.
- There’s a very very good chance Pai and the other three members who voted for the repeal are in the pocket of some of the larger corporations like Verizon and AT&T and could be charged with bribery if the case is dragged out long enough and they’re finances are investigated.
Not just identity theft. Mass fraud, too.
I know for a fact that some of the fraudulent names came from various sources: pro-NN persons, non-existent names, emails that were backtracked to Russia…Gods sakes, even names of the dead were used!
These are felonies. Justice is demanded for these crimes.
For the Net neutrality and for the reasons, we must keep fighting.
Oh that remind me…
For those of you that either question or disbelieve the validity of AG Schneiderman’s claims of this being illegal…I come with proof, straight from the source.

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
The death penalty should be enacted on these people
hey btw i dunno if yall know this but Pixar’s John Lasseter has now been accused of sexual harassment and I know Disney are gonna try sweeping this under the rug. Just because he’s head of Pixar doesn’t make him exempt from this kind of thing. You can say “childhood RUINED” all you want but DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS.
Animation is one of the harder professions and the fact that so many animators, especially women are constantly treated this way in the industry isn’t fair. We need to start standing up more n saying that we’re sick of all of this. We animators deserve way better than this.
so don’t forget about this before Disney tries wiping this from existence bc this is actually a huge fucking thing.
“i really liked your post!”
Thanks How About You Reblog It :)
just in case you’re wondering what i’m talking about:
13%, 21%, a whooping 30%, 15%, 21% again. and those are the stories that do well.
it’s almost like tumblr has a reblog button you could USE
LIKE IT? REBLOG IT!
it’s not fucking difficult.
also i love how i gotta make these posts practically every time after i publish something.
look, i don’t give a fuck about money. i’m writing fic for fun. if you wanna throw a billion dollars at me, sure, you do you.
but literally all i want, all we all want, is for our stuff to be acknowledged. spread. REBLOGGED.
because obviously you read it and liked it, right?
so now all you have to do is hit that little button. it looks a little like this
and then that’s that.
or, on ao3, you write “i really liked this! thank you for sharing!”. and that’s that.
it takes absolutely ZERO EFFORT, and it makes you happy (because you liked what you just read) and it makes us happy (because our work can get potentially more readers), and everyone is happy.
and instead, there’s likes all around.
and likes are a little like seeing someone having their arms full with things and they drop their keys and you walk past and say “hey dude, i hope that works out for you!”
writers spend hours, even days and weeks or months on fics, pouring ourselves into it, forgoing sleep and food sometimes just to finish something because we hope you’ll like it.
and we get a litte ❤️ for our troubles and that’s it.
and especially when you get statistics like above - 42 likes and 9 reblogs - it feels like a kick to the face.
if every writer only wrote for themselves (”as you’re supposed to do uwu”), there wouldn’t be a single fic out there, because we’d keep all the fics.
but we write for our audience too, hoping we’ll hear back, hoping people will spread our fics, “hey, look at this cool thing i read!”.
and that doesn’t happen.
so you start thinking “hey, maybe i shouldn’t publish this. it’s bad anyways, right? and it doesn’t make a difference if i do. it’s not like anyone cares.”
how many thousands and thousands of words for your favorite ship do you think are out there, saved on hard drives by authors who’ve given up wishing to publish their things, because “nobody cares.”
reblogging and commenting seems to be at an all time low at the moment. and you know what happens when you, the supplier, feel like there’s no demand out there?
you stop supplying.
because nobody cares enough to want to share it.
“thoughts and prayers with your fic! it was so good!” that’s what the like button means, to make an extreme comparison here.
and honestly, i don’t understand why.
reblog. your. writers. it’s all we ask for.
Seriously guys
this applies to artists too tbh, and actually in all honesty i stopped writing because of this very thing
I usually reblog things that I like, if I REALLY like it I’ll like it and reblog it
How the fuck are you eating that
May I suggest
My god it’s like waddle dee just absorbing the cookie-
