one (wo)man wrecking machine

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize,  snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?

Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word “finally”. 

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

right now, you are able to access everything on the internet, correct? it’s not like cable tv, where you’re forced to pay a company to only give you a limited range of shitty tv shows bombarded with shitty commercials all for an expensive and unfair deal.

the internet is about to be exactly like that. everything, from accessing sites like Tumblr to ao3, to seeing your financial aid packet online, to googling dumb shit on wikipedia, to laughing at internet memes, to streaming things online, all of that is because the internet is open and free. and it is all about to be taken away from you. you are about to lose your net neutrality.

do not understand net neutrality? here is a handy guide. here is also a john oliver segment describing everything.

here is what you can do to stop it:

-submit your comment to the fcc here. click on + Express, fill out your info, and tell the FCC not to repeal Net Neutrality rules. Tell Ajit Pai to support Net Neutrality backed by title 2 oversight on ISPs. make your comment personal.

YOU. MUST. SUBMIT. A. COMMENT. this is the most IMPORTANT part!! public comments close on MAY 11. we don’t have much time to save the internet!
