Travels of the Royal Captain

Don’t want to do this but I need money.  These guys are all personally designed OCs of mine.  I’m looking to sell each one for $20, and they’ll come with a larger view of their cutie mark.  Sorry you can’t see Evening Glory’s very well whoops.

You can see them better here.

Please send me an ask or IM if interested, it’s first come, first serve and I’m not going to hold them ;; Even selling 7 of them would get me to my goal of $140.

To jump to the case, taxes are due on my family’s home, and we are short the money. Short by $1500. If we don’t come up with the money by the end of September, we will lose the house. Which means homelessness, for myself, my step-father, and brother.

And of course, Howl up there. Howl means more than anything to me. I want her to have a home, here with me and people she loves. She can be a jerk, but she’s my best friend.

If you could find it in your hearts to help us out, we’d be so thankful. $1500 is what we need for taxes, though ideally, $2000 would help us get through a Pennsylvania winter and pay for heating. I’m sorry to ask this of you, but we’ve hit some really unlucky times.

If you’d like to donate, my paypal is [email protected] but if you’d like a commission, I’m happy to take those too. Anything to keep the house, keep Howl, and keep her safe and warm.

🚨 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 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.

for whoever’s living or near the Southern California area, the California Office of Emergency Services issued an earthquake advisory warning for people residing in or near San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, Kern and imperial counties. there have been a lot of small earthquakes that could potentially trigger  an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0+ or bigger. they predict that this could happen over the next 7 days with “likelihood decreasing over time”.  please stay safe and keep alert!
