It’s only a matter of time until this quaint fire spreads beyond the hearth. Don’t worry, we’ll be warm again soon.

The coming winds will blow away these damp leaves. Give it time.

Everything seems peaceful, serene. They haven’t noticed the grotesque shadows cast by the cinders’ dim light

[embersuggestion-blog]

The room crumbles around you, your eyes are burning as smoke fills your lungs.

You’ve never been able to breathe so easily.

The night has its hands pressed against my throat, my open arms bleed ash and glowing sparks

will someone please tell me what happened?

this light is fleeting and you hear the children scream

put the hose down

This inferno I’ve created is hot enough to melt lead.

Why am I still shivering?

[embersuggestion-blog]

Soot stains my fingertips and youthful sparks jump from my words. I am alive; I am free.

[embersuggestion-blog]

My heart glows as my every step leaves ash and cinders in its wake.

This is the next move to restore net neutrality

If it feels like you’re fighting battles on every side, you’re not alone. The struggle is terrifyingly real. But we can still make this year the best possible version of 2018 it can be. There’s a new opportunity to restore strong net neutrality protections: The Congressional Review Act.

What is the Congressional Review Act?

The CRA lets the House and Senate repeal administrative laws—rules and regulations set by governmental agencies—with a simple majority in both houses. The resolutions can’t be blocked by leadership, amended, or filibustered.

This congress has used the CRA more than any other to overturn regulations that protect vulnerable people and the environment, but this time we can use it for a good purpose—to reverse the FCC’s decision and restore net neutrality.

We just need #OneMoreVote

Battle For The Net has secured commitments from 50 senators. One more and we can take this fight to the House. These are the targets:

John Kennedy (Louisiana) | 202-224-4623 | Email

John McCain (Arizona) | 202-224-2235 | Email

Orrin Hatch (Utah) | 202-224-5251 | Email

Dean Heller (Nevada) | 202-224-6244 | Email

If you live in these states, we need you. Even if you don’t, you can still help the cause.

Go to battleforthenet.com to write or call your representatives.

Tell them to support the “Resolution of Disapproval” and overturn the FCC’s December 14 “Restoring Internet Freedom” vote.

I’m trying to scream but only blood and ash escapes my lips

We learn to find our spark in the strangest of places, from the joyful flicker of a birthday candle to the calm glow of a gas stove. Know that you are still appreciated even if you can’t afford to have your passion cast flames as tall as buildings, it’s okay to dim your light to keep your fire from being smothered for good.

They thought we had grown quiet. They thought that we had finally learned to accept our lot in life, that the world was cruel and there was nothing we could do about it.

How surprised they’ll be when their pretty white houses are bathed in our flames of revolution

Fallen ash looks like snow if you squint hard enough.

as a child they taught you not to play with fire, but never did they warn you of those with hearts cold enough to freeze even the brightest stars
