I’m trying to count how many of y'all exists in Tumblr!

Tumblr, owned by Yahoo, owned by Verizon, will automatically force you to unfollow the net neutrality tag after 20 minutes. Verizon is one of the biggest players in fighting net neutrality, and they’re censoring Tumblr participation in the fight for net neutrality.

If I have American followers, please please call your congress people to voice your support for net neutrality and to ask them to put down the FCC bills which put it at risk.

I DON’T CARE IF YOU HAVE ONLY ONE FOLLOWER PLEASE EVERYONE REBLOG THIS!!!

THIS POST IS SCEDULED TO GO UP ONCE AN HOUR ON THIS BLOG UNTIL 24 HOURS SINCE THE FIRST POST BECAUSE IT’S THAT IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE SEES IT!

Just a friendly reminder that the end of net neutrality will also be the end of independent writers and artists having online access to their audiences. Do some research, spread the word, make a phone call if you can. Net neutrality is serious business for everyone, and it’s especially important for indie writers. I mean, it’d be cool to go back to trading paper zines via snail mail, but I’d prefer to have access to y’all’s work online as well. Social media sites already make it hard enough with their algorithms, etc. I’d hate to see the entire internet turn against us. Let’s not let them do it. Okay? <3

Guys, please be careful to vet that what you choose to signal boost is actually accurate. I’m seeing a lot of well-intentioned posts today about Net Neutrality that are likely to do just as much harm as good due to misinformation in them.

For instance, we are not all suddenly shouting that the sky is falling because the FCC has PASSED the bill abolishing Net Neutrality and the changes are to be put in place some time this month. As claimed by one post I just saw with over 5,000 notes already. This is simply, unequivocally NOT true, and it can actually get in the way of the call to action that very post made, asking people to call and email their congressmen, because a lot of people who see that might think “what’s the point, if its already passed?”

It hasn’t. Chairman Ajit Pai of the FCC unveiled in April his proposed plan to strike back the Net Neutrality regulations Obama’s administration passed in 2015, and which have since 2015 been upheld by the courts in the face of Republican opposition’s attempts to claim they overreached. What has people shouting the sky is falling NOW is because yesterday (November 21st) is when the date of the official vote on this proposed plan was announced. That date is December 14th.

Which means there IS still time to affect the outcome of the vote. People are pessimistic about the chances of this vote because the FCC board is held by a Republican majority at the moment, but make the passing of this bill seem toxic enough to other Republican interests and there is still a chance to keep it from passing. 

Which is still a hell of a lot better than assuming the bill has already passed and that there’s really no point.

We have until December 14th to kick up enough of a fuss that the Republicans on the FCC board think twice about voting for this bill. And even after that, there are still legal recourses. The courts have refused to uphold other bills Trump’s administration has attempted to pass as overreaching, unconstitutional, and/or in opposition of the true will of the people - just as the Republicans attempted to do back in 2015 when the FCC under Obama passed the Net Neutrality laws in the first place.

This does not mean be complacent. This does not mean assume enough other people will raise enough of a fuss without adding your voice to the mix. It simply means THERE IS STILL TIME TO ACT. The sky may be falling, but until it finishes falling, there’s still a chance to catch it instead. 

We have until December 14th to kick up enough of a fuss that the Republicans on the FCC board think twice about voting for this bill. 

there IS still time to affect the outcome of the vote.
