HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY KAGAMINE RIN & LEN!!

Our team of mods are proud to present the 100 Kagamine Collaboration 2017, marking Rin and Len’s 10th anniversary. Congratulations to our wonderful and most precious VOCALOIDs!

Thank you to all the participants who finished their artworks and signed up for the collaboration. We achieved over 120+ applications in the first day alone, so this was a huge milestone for us. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Artist Credits Page - Check out all the wonderful artists who took part in this collaboration! If you’re an artist, be sure to tag your individual artworks as ‘100 Kagamine Collaboration’ so we can reblog it from you.

Once again, a very happy birthday to Rin and Len, the Kagamination will continue loving them for another 10 years!

As predicted, all three men voted to dismantle the protections. Please go to their twitters and call them gopher fuckers.

You may panic, but be smart. There are plenty of lawsuits waiting in the wings. Net Neutrality repeals have failed twice before when taken to court. However- do not bank on it, there is always a chance for this slimy shit to slither right through.

What you should do right now is call Congress and tell them what you think.

If we are quick enough we can force them into using the CRA- the Congressional Review Act. You can tell them you want that. 

We have 60 days to do this.

Here’s a link with some info.

You’ll see a script on your screen, or you can say something like this:

I support Title II net neutrality, and I urge you to use the Congressional Review Act to pass a “resolution of disapproval” reversing the FCC’s December vote to repeal the Open Internet Order.”

You also need to call your Senators and Representatives, especially if they received money from any telecom companies (Verizon, Comcast, AT&T and so on). Give. Them. Hell.

You can also Text “BATTLE” to 384-387 to use a simple chat-bot to send a message to your lawmakers.

Text “RESIST” to 50409 for ResistBot.

Here is a page from the ACLU with instructions.

REMEMBER. THE BATTLE ISN’T OVER UNTIL YOU GIVE UP.

Now you guys need to absolutely pummel your local congressional representatives with calls, letters, and protests until Congress steps its game up and fixes this so that the FCC can never do this again.

We watched as three men callously laughed about how silly they thought some of the calls were for not being eloquent enough for their taste. We watched as they lied about the internet, even when the truth was uttered minutes before.

Don’t let them have this win.

Make your representatives miserable until they fix this. The news will be worthless to you in the upcoming months, as every major news network is either owned by an ISP or has tangential business with ISPs. They all serve to profit on this. Fact check with extreme prejudice. Don’t stop until your internet is back to where it needs to be.

Neutral.

I don’t care if you’re far-left, far-right, or dead down the center. Do you want it to be where an ISP can choose to throttle access to Fox News or Breitbart on a whim? What about Vox? What if some bad reviews come out for a movie and Comcast throttles it to hide that? What if Netflix is throttled into oblivion so that Hulu becomes the only possible option for viewing? What if you go to start-up a new business and you’re told that you have to pay for the $500/mo “business package” in order to get higher the 0.3 Mbps traffic speeds to your site?

Nothing about this decision is going to benefit how you use the internet.You use it for paying bills, for doctors and hospitals, for school, for work, and for entertainment.

And depending on which district takes this court case, it could end up favoring the FCC on this.

They don’t care about the public’s opinion anymore??? Are you shitting me??? Isn't America supposed to be a democracy where the people have a say in the future of this country?? They say they won’t listen to opinions anymore.

GUYS PUMP OUT COLD HARD FACTS. I’LL BE WRITING AN EMAIL TO THE HEAD SCUMBAG HIMSELF WITH SOME COLD HARD FACTS. I SUGGEST YOU GUYS DO THE SAME!!!

ps: i know I’m being obnoxious with all the unnecessary punctuation and all caps but i need to get the message across.

Mignon Clyburn

Michael O’Rielly 

Brendan Carr

Jessica Rosenworcel 

These are the other commissioners of the FCC. Please, aside from your senators and representatives, email these people and let them hear your voice.

here’s the post @lioness–hart just put up 

here’s what happened when i tried to reblog

today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it won’t just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.

this is what buying a plan without net neutrality looks like there:

you have to pay MORE for features you’re already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.

democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.

please, call them. call them daily.
