The internet is keeping score

Tumblr, we know you’ve been fighting valiantly to restore net neutrality. Whether you added widgets to your Tumblrs, or reblogged posts to spread the word to your followers, or contacted your reps asking them to keep the internet free and open as we know it—you’re helping. You’re doing it. Let’s keep that momentum up. 

BattleForTheNet.com (@fight4future) is letting Congress know that the internet is keeping score of every Congressperson who is and is not supporting the restoration of net neutrality. 

Right now you can visit that scoreboard and easily look up whether or not your reps support the Congressional Review Act resolution. 

This CRA will restore the net neutrality rules the FCC dismantled back in November 2017. They have 177 signatures, but need 44 more. You can help make that happen. This grassroots effort is working. Just two days ago Rep. Mike Coffman listened to his constituents from Colorado and became the first Republican to support the Democrat-led CRA. Keep putting that same pressure on your congresspeople. Urge them to sign the petition. If your congressperson has already pledged to support the CRA, reblog this post, add the new widget to your Tumblr (just copy and paste the small line of code from Battle For The Net right into the customize theme page on the web), and shout out what’s happening on all of your social media accounts. We have to spread the word.

Keep going, Tumblr. This matters, and you’re making a marked difference.

you know that dumbass Forbes article advocating for Amazon stores to replace public libraries? It was taken down cause the author got dragged so hard by like everyone who has ever entered a library in their life & now Forbes released a statement basically calling the author of the original op-ed “deeply misinformed” lmao

“Libraries play an important role in our society. This article was outside of this contributor’s specific area of expertise, and has since been removed.”

I still say the most unrealistic part of Harry Potter was that there wasn’t a scene where Hermione found 16 year old Harry in a shopping cart on top of the Astronomy Tower while 16 year old Ron stood by with Colin’s camera because if the prophecy says that he has to die via Voldemort then that means nothing else can kill him ergo there’s no way this could possibly go wrong…

Twenty years ago, Batwoman saved my life. What she did–what they all did–saved us from the world that could have been. All those who fought, all those who served, all those who gave everything they have for a peaceful world.

I finally psyched myself up for the end. Told myself I was ready… ended up sobbing on the floor. The last arc was all over the place probably due to the cancellation but still! this was beautiful and painful and amazing and I’m….. there’s a lot I wanna say but my fellow comic friends will probably end up hearing the brunt of it lol.

Just–thank you, Marguerite Bennett, Marguerite Sauvage and the rest of the DC Bombshells team for creating this universe. This was one comic that I really needed when I found it and just…. its continued to bring me hope and joy.

I know Dawnstar’s lessons. That this is but one world of many. And the story that unfolded here is not the story as it is elsewhere. But in every world, in every time, that this crisis of conscience came to pass, and people rose to fight back the darkness–I see you, and I see your works, and I see all you sacrificed, and I can only say–

“Thank you.”
