And The Universe Said, "You Are Not Alone."

Time seems such a universal concept and then I find out the different ways people perceive everything and remember “it’s all appearances to consciousness”

I encourage you to correct me if I got any dates or facts wrong! I strive for accuracy in my posts.

Back in 2019,the EU Copyright Directive passed by a slim margin in Parliament,the very same Directive containing Upload Filters and Link taxes.And now its on its way. AO3 made an entry explaining clearly what are the stakes,and how the current language of the bill endangers non commercial sites such as AO3 itself,as well as Wikipedia.

Please refer to the original post for the entire information: https://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/19550 If you are German,I beg you to contact your representatives like indicated 

Explains how this threathen freedom of speech and creativity during fair use,and how parodies,caricatures,postiche,etc should not be subjected to this. I do not know when or if other EU countries will also start implementing article 17 on their own. I do know there is a lawsuit from Poland ongoing trying to strike the Directive down (But it is extremely slow process,so its best to contact MEPs right away before too much damage is done under this Directive) Not only that,but TERREG (not part of the directive) which is the “anti terror law”) has been adopted without a plenary vote on a EU scale,which means that under one hour,certain sites will have to take down any content deemed as “terrorist” to governement’s eyes,without the control of a judge to see if its fair or not. So sites will have to resort to Upload Filters as the short time theyre given to take content down is ridiculously short. Terreg can be sued,but only if we see misuse,which isn’t really enough.

thread of some ways to help the brooklyn center community right now

gofundme for daunte wright’s family

support daunte wright’s girlfriend and baby son

no more size 4 diapers/drop offs for today (4/12)

help documenting mn purchase supplies, food, etc

support protestors/mutual aid

support medics supply needs

call these numbers and demand police defunding and abolition

i’ve seen people linking donation links to minnesota freedom fund, but they already have plenty of money from last summer and i would instead redirect money to the links above and other bipoc individuals/orgs

for those in the twin cities metro area:

candlelight vigil at 7pm 6pm today (april 12th)  (moved to accommodate those who do not wish to stay past curfew) 

protest at bcpd at 7pm today (april 12th) rescheduled due to curfew, though people will probably still attend 

gas masks available for black folks protesting

some guidelines for protesting/protestor safety

more protesting guidelines

bail support number

beware that the fbi has a complex a few blocks away from bcpd (physical location)

be aware that there is a 7pm curfew for hennepin, anoka, ramsey, and dakota counties (because they want to fuck with the vigil and protest) 

curfew has been modified so that anyone travelling to prayer, such as taraweeh, is exempt 

walz says that ‘largest police presence in Minnesota history will be prepared’ to enforce curfew, so please prepare if you’re planning to protest 

remember that breaking curfew can be as simple as taking a walk, the more people who disobey the curfew the better 

donation sites for food and supplies

more specific needs

CANMN is also collecting supplies for protestors

remember to check in and help with local encampments

keep this in mind to avoid the spread of misinformation

if you’re coming from out of town: please be mindful of the community and spaces you’re entering and protect those who are more vulnerable. stay out of private yards and be aware that many young children live in these residential areas.

things to keep in mind:

st. vincent is a very small island in the caribbean - much smaller than that of my own country and my country is like a dot on the world map - of only 100k+ citizens and at least 7,000 people were told to evacuate. this is the first eruption since 1979. st. vincent is a predominantly black country, and as of now i haven't seen any petitions as yet from the people. all i can do is hope that we can boost this and send them our love and support.
