Guys. Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!!!!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)

They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!

You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.

If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!

You’d need a license for everything!!!!

And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.

No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!

Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.

Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).

I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!

I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.

The devotional works, the information posts and general community building that Heathens create are not there for the benefit of fandom. We are real people, and we’re processing and sharing aspects of our personal lives. A lot of us don’t like Marvel. (I used to enjoy it, but fandom ruined it for me, go figure.)

When you see art, blog posts, resources, etc. marked with words like “Heathen” and “mythological” or “myth![deity]” you need to understand that those were not made for fandom. What we’re doing isn’t fandom. Those are not there for your benefit unless you’re also taking part in the sincerely held religious beliefs that tie us together.

Because that’s what we’re doing. It’s a major, deeply important aspect of our lives. It’s not a hobby, or a distraction, or entertainment for us. In fact, most of us experience religion as a very special and rewarding kind of job.

**enjoy the thing that we were so preoccupied with yesterday**

Here’s a quick rundown.

Article 13 is still in its final stages of voting. The problem is not that people don’t want to protect copyright, it’s that the LANGUAGE of the LAW is TOO VAGUE and OPEN TO ABUSE. IT COULD PASS THIS YEAR.

This law WILL impact EVERYBODY. Media platforms like YouTube will not bother to have different policies for the EU and for everybody else, they’ll just apply strict EU laws to EVERYONE.

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS. You can yammer on all day about how people shouldn’t be building a career on an industry like YouTube or Instagram anyway, but the world changes, and there is actually not much different between YouTube content creators and traditional media like movies and TV. Youtubers, Instagram models, hell, even kids who use apps like TikTok are either directly or indirectly CREATING JOBS, and you CANNOT deny that. ALL OF THESE JOBS WILL BE PUT IN JEOPARDY IF ARTICLE 13 IS PUT INTO PLAY. THE ONLY CONTENT CREATORS THAT WILL BE ABLE TO THRIVE POST ARTICLE 13 IS BIG MEDIA COMPANIES.

THIS IS NOT FEARMONGERING. Is it scary, even anxiety-inducing that Article 13 could take away the only safe space that some people have—the Internet? YES. But we CANNOT close our eyes and scroll past all the article 13 posts because they make us anxious, or because they make us sad. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Reblog/make posts. Spread awareness. Tell your friends. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU LIVE IN THE EU, TALK TO YOUR REPS. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO SAVE OUR INTERNET.

We’re currently going through a scare on Tumblr where your blog could get taken down at any time for any unclear reason, because they’re cracking down on child porn. That is good, but many people with perfectly appropriate blogs are having them taken down, too. The thing is, right now, you can still get your blog back without hassle if it is taken down by mistake. Imagine if your blog was taken down simply for making or reblogging a meme, gif of your favorite TV show, or simply producing art that isn’t 100% original, and Tumblr COULD NOT RESTORE IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS BY ARTICLE 13. That could be our reality. Do NOT turn a blind eye to this.

tl;dr Article 13 will 100% change the internet as we know it for the worse, and you aren’t safe even outside of the EU. SPREAD THE WORD. EU RESIDENTS CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.

I know you guys love to shit on MatPat here, but he made a wonderful and interesting video going into more detail.

👏STOP SAYING THE FUCKING WORD GYPSY👏

You don’t have a “gypsy soul”, there’s nothing sexy about being forced to be a nomad because of government persecution

You’re not a “gypsy witch”, divinitation (crystal balls, tarot cards, palm reading, etc) was used to razzle dazzle the gadjo because governments made it ILLEGAL to employ Romani people

50-65% of the Romani population in Europe was wiped out because of the Holocaust because Hitler hated the “dirty gypsies”. You read that right, 50-65% of the Romani population DEAD because of the Holocaust.

No, you don’t have “gypsy style” because your idea of “gypsy style” is romanticized garbage, made up by European travelers when the camera became mobile and they explored Asia (this romanticization and fetishizing was a wide spread issue with each culture and population they encountered, posing the people in positions and outfits THEY DEEMED SEXY, not what the natives found comfortable/attractive). Fashion stores, STOP USING BOTS to auto like “gypsy” tags on Instagram, this is a HUGE problem there

Lost something?

Stick a pin in your sofa and it’ll return to you.

I heard there was a call for antifascist Norse imagery. Antifa Mjolnir, anyone?
