The Nerd Army

A friendly reminder that the global climate strike on November 29th is approaching.

But also remember that not everyone is able to fight for our environment on full extent. Some people might not be able to attend the strikes because of social anxiety or other mental health conditions. Some people might not be able to go vegetarian / vegan because they have medical issues. Some people might not be able to afford zero waste products.

Here in Scotland music tuition used to be seen as part of the curriculum and came free as part of your education, this meant that no matter your background you could learn to play an instrument, which is an amazing opportunity to have.

However in recent years local councils have decided to take away or start making people pay for music tuition in schools. This is possibly illegal and means that many people do not get to learn an instrument just because of their income bracket! If you have a couple of quid, or dollars or whatever to spare, just enough to buy yourself a coffee, please donate so that everyone gets the chance to learn an instrument!

Don’t use the #epilepsy tag for your GIFs/animations (or weird voice/sound recordings)

I know a lot of you people don’t mean harm by using the tag, but the way you are tagging, you are actually not helping at all, which is unfortunate. 

1. Carefully watch the other epilepsy blogs to gain a sense of their style

2. Watch them grow and become an important part of the community

3. Create a shitpost about how great they are

4. Recruit them for my spaceship crew

5. Go on space adventures

6. I call dibs on the laser guns

7. Kinda forgot where I was going with this

8. Just read these blogs

Alternatively I’m willing to create painting to cover the walls. I don’t want empty boring space walls.

I am also forcing you to sit down and play Space RPGs with me.

And by Space RPGs I mean Star Trek Adventures. 

Pictured is Sam De Leve, being the Game Master for the first time on Twitch! They sit behind a game screen displaying various star ships firing at one another as they orbit planets. They look smug as the caption reads “Gimme den dice” 

🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.

Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.
