I haven’t done an update on Net Neutrality in a while as I was trying to find a reasonable “next step”, especially since it’s been out of the “news cycle” for a bit. Well, I have some good news. 

According to the senator (minority leader Chuck Schumer) from New York, they now have a total of 50 votes for a Senate resolution of disapproval that would restore the Open Internet Order of 2015 and deliver a stiff rebuke to Ajit Pai and other Republican members of the FCC. It would also prevent the agency from passing a similar measure in the future, all but guaranteeing Net Neutrality is permanently preserved

What’s stopping them now? They need just ONE more Republican and they have less than 30 days to do it.

So goes the next actionable step. You have to contact your senators and get them to suppose the Congressional Review of “the Open Internet Order of 2015″. 

There are two ways to go about it. 

1) Via 5calls.org using this script - https://5calls.org/issue/fcc-net-neutrality-cra

2) Via https://resist.bot/ - you can write to Congress using this site or  Text RESIST to Resistbot on Telegram, Messenger, or to 50409 on SMS. By providing basic information, you can write your Senator to move forward.

Now, if you got a Democratic Senator, push them on to find that one Republican Senator. If you got a Republican Senator, encourage them to reconsider their stance on Net Neutrality. 

We just need ONE Republican Senator and we have less than 30 days to do so.

“Particularly damning is what today’s repeal will mean for marginalized groups, like communities of color, that rely on platforms like the internet to communicate, because traditional outlets do not consider their issues or concerns, worthy of any coverage. It was through social media that the world first heard about Ferguson, Missouri, because legacy news outlets did not consider it important until the hashtag started trending.” -  Mignon Clyburn, FCC Commissioner for Net Neutrality

Guys I don’t know how many younger followers I have so I wanted to say something really quick:

No matter what happens on the 14th of December, you will not immediately lose the internet.  It’s not like that.  That’s not how these things work.

There’s already been a bill introduced to fight it.

There’s going to be a court battle.

So yes, keep voicing yourselves, keep fighting

But don’t let the anxiety of some doomsday get to you.

The motion to repeal Net Neutrality has been passed in a 3-2 vote

Before everyone losses their shit, I will like to urge everyone to talk a deep breath and focus on the following:

1: This cannot go into immediate effect.

2: There is still many issues that WILL be addressed by the Congress, Supreme Court, and many other government officials have a current say in the false comments, stolen idenities, denial of public hearings, and many other issues that the FCC did not address.

3: CALL. YOUR. OFFICALS. Do NOT give up, just because the vote has passed, don’t you DARE stop. Make this shit go front-page, make some NOISE.

DO. NOT. STOP.

For any Jewish followers. ♥️

I know I was taking a little break to avoid all the stress of the Charlottesville rally being talked about on tumblr, but I also wanted to make sure all of my Jewish mutuals know how loved they are. I know this is scary and sometimes it feels like the only people looking out for us is ourselves, but know that you are not alone and have never been alone. We are one mishpacha, one family, and we will look after each other and keep each other safe like we always have. I love each and every one of you. Remember, the whole world is a very narrow bridge and the main thing is to have no fear at all.

Goyim, please reblog this instead of all the performative “punch a nazi” nonsense. Make your Jewish followers feel safe.

Whooo I can finally share this big commission!! Custom Kudamon plush from Digimon with lots of machine embroidered details. Those back markings took three separate hoopings on a 4x6" hoop per side, and had to be carefully lined up so that they would be symmetrical. It was nerve-wracking but so exciting when it worked out!! The collar was done on the regular machine since it was too big for the embroidery machine. The plush is about 90% machine sewn with the “ear” pieces and claws hand sewn on. This plush measures about 3 feet long in total!! 😱#commission #kudamon #digimon #monster #custom #plush #plushie #minkyplush #plushmaker #plushmaking #finished #dragonsbykris #circuit #cute #cool #digimoncosplay #digimonart #etsyseller #etsyhandmade #etsysellersofinstagram
