God I Really Wish Carrying Stuffed Animals Around With You Was Socially Acceptable

How much support we got out there?

Happiness Will Come To You.

NO.

There’s two ways to count to 9

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 2, 8, 5, 6, 1, 3, 4, 7, 9

Poll: only 28 percent of young voters say they will certainly vote in the 2018 midterms

Millennials are pretty reliable Democrats, but unreliable voters.

VOTE!

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

I don’t want to disappear without a forewarning.

As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good. 

The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.  Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down. 

Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement. 

Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.

This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.

Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:

“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.

But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”

Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2 

Here is how to contact your MEPs. 

Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.

Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesn’t seem to care. 

I saw a sad facebook post from the gay bookstore back in Ann Arbor where I used to live about how they hadn’t sold any books that day so I went on their online store and bought a couple, and while you don’t get #deals like elsewhere online, I’d love it if y’all would consider buying your next gay book from them instead of like, Amazon.

So my mom wants to put down one of our cats and I’m really fucking pissed off at her so please reblog this so someone who can take her will see it and I won’t have to hate my mom for the rest of my life

And I know for a fact my mom will regret doing this for forever because that’s the kind of person she is. She loves this cat but has given up on rehoming her.

Wanda is a middle-aged spayed female who needs to be an only cat or with someone who knows how to introduce a traumatized cat into a new cat setting. She could adapt to living with a dog. She doesn’t like being handled but she will sit in your lap and hang out with you wherever in the house you go. She loves to play. Due to her trauma, she may swat at you suddenly while you are petting her, as if she forgets where she is. All she needs is a person with good cat sense and some patience.

I live in central Alabama but I will drive/fly anywhere to save this cat. She doesn’t deserve this.

Not to get controversial or anything but can we stop with making fun of women being abused by their husbands and playing it off as ‘straight culture’
