Trying to figure this out...

Iron Bull who, in canon, wears a leg brace and has an eye patch.

Iron Bull who has chronic pain.

Iron Bull who laughs and grunts when Stitches says “you’re not supposed to drink it chief,” because he knows you’re not, but a poultice doesn’t quite treat those wounds.

Iron Bull who tells you that after the second drink most of the nerves in your throat are dead, but neglects to tell you it aches a little less in the old places as well.

Iron Bull who falls just a bit behind on the treks up the mountains but stops to take in the scenery, Iron Bull who is no less fearsome, no less accomplished of a warrior, no less dedicated, no less.

Iron Bull who is a master of pain, who knows pain so intimately he employs it in battle as a specialty, but for whom pain follows him off of every field and after every foe into the bed chamber. Iron Bull who knows what it means to keep fighting anyway, to keep that pain as a part of yourself and keep moving forward just the same.

🚨 The internet needs you 🚨

You’re up again, Tumblr. 

Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won. 

That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.

The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.

His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.

Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.

You know the drill. Here’s what to do:

The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.

Go there now 👉 dearfcc.org ✌️

You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:

I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.

The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them. 

The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.

Please leave the existing existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.

Thank you!

If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.

Da:i was my first da game. I didn’t understand the significance of my actions.

cons of being adult:

In both work and observing, I have learned something about kids. A lot of parents try to get their boys to go fight. Of the young ones that do, they tend to be shy. You get the ones who just swing the boffer swords around with no regard for life, but, mostly, they’re reserved. It’s adorable. I mean, they’re kids.

Their stories: Amazing grammar, soaring vocabulary, beautiful imagery and prose which flows like a river.
