Interesting Bits of Nothing

Sorry about your window! But you’re welcome for not getting robbed!

There’s a lot of big, wordy articles going around tumblr right now, and they’re all great. But I wanted to make a mastpost of sorts of all the actions you can take and sites/bots that are here to help.

battleforthenet - The main hub for all things net neutrality. Fill out a form in seconds to e-mail your rep, or enter your phone number and a prerecorded message will call you, tell you exactly what to do and provide a script before connecting you with your representative. You can also set up a daily call.

Verizon Protests - Protests are happening at Verizon stores across the country on Dec 14th. 

5 calls - This site is my favorite for calls. They provide a script and directions for calling the FCC, senators, and local state rep. 

Resistbot - A phenominal service for those who cannot call, this bot will contact your rep on your behalf. However, every time I try to use it, they are busy.

Many of you are hitting the same roadblock I am: Mailboxes are full. So what do we do at that point? We send letters. Go to WhoIsMyRepresentative.com and enter your zip code to find addresses for your senators and house reps. You can use the phone script from the sites above, or compose your own note, or simply write “I am your constituent and I want you to fight to keep net neutrality.”

TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ABUSE, CHILD ABUSE, STALKING, probably others.

In the Fourth Season episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia “The Nightman Cometh”, Charlie writes a seemingly nonsensical musical created just to give him a platform to propose to his long-time obsession ‘The Waitress’. 

But this much loved episode isn’t just “random”, it’s actually one of Charlie’s biggest moments of character development. The Nightman Cometh is his cry for help. It’s his way of telling the Waitress and his friends about his childhood abuse in the hopes it might make them understand his behaviour.
