Topics to Avoid 𤫠(W/ @dahlialiketheflower & @domgoldofficial)
Guys, please be careful to vet that what you choose to signal boost is actually accurate. Iām seeing a lot of well-intentioned posts today about Net Neutrality that are likely to do just as much harm as good due to misinformation in them.
For instance, we are not all suddenly shouting that the sky is falling because the FCC has PASSED the bill abolishing Net Neutrality and the changes are to be put in place some time this month. As claimed by one post I just saw with over 5,000 notes already. This is simply, unequivocally NOT true, and it can actually get in the way of the call to action that very post made, asking people to call and email their congressmen, because a lot of people who see that might thinkĀ āwhatās the point, if its already passed?ā
It hasnāt. Chairman Ajit Pai of the FCC unveiled in April his proposed plan to strike back the Net Neutrality regulations Obamaās administration passed in 2015, and which have since 2015 been upheld by the courts in the face of Republican oppositionās attempts to claim they overreached. What has people shouting the sky is falling NOW is because yesterday (November 21st) is when the date of the official vote on this proposed plan was announced. That date is December 14th.
Which means there IS still time to affect the outcome of the vote. People are pessimistic about the chances of this vote because the FCC board is held by a Republican majority at the moment, but make the passing of this bill seem toxic enough to other Republican interests and there is still a chance to keep it from passing.Ā
Which is still a hell of a lot better than assuming the bill has already passed and that thereās really no point.
We have until December 14th to kick up enough of a fuss that the Republicans on the FCC board think twice about voting for this bill. And even after that, there are still legal recourses. The courts have refused to uphold other bills Trumpās administration has attempted to pass as overreaching, unconstitutional, and/or in opposition of the true will of the people - just as the Republicans attempted to do back in 2015 when the FCC under Obama passed the Net Neutrality laws in the first place.
This does not mean be complacent. This does not mean assume enough other people will raise enough of a fuss without adding your voice to the mix. It simply means THERE IS STILL TIME TO ACT. The sky may be falling, but until it finishes falling, thereās still a chance to catch it instead.Ā

The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a ā fast laneā of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCCās previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet andĀ allows ISPās like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that donāt pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim.Ā But there is still hope.Ā The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through.Ā If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now.Ā Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesdayās announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment.Ā In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

The Olympics opening ceremony has sparked my enjoyment of Les mis once again and would love an enjoltaire roleplay. Iām 25, he/him, looking for 20+ roleplay partners. Semi-lit/advanced lit depending on the person, the plot, and the vibes. On a good day my replies break discords word limit.
Please just try to match reply length as much as possible. Iām looking for someone to play grantaire, as Iām used to playing enjolras. Other than that Iām not picky. Feel free to like or dm me if interested. Weāll do some plotting and then migrate over to discord.
The only reason it didn't pass the first two times is because we spoke out about it!
DON'T PANIC, TAKE ACTION.
Felt like doodling them
I am so so starved for roleplays but Iām stuck in a trolls brainrot! I really, really want to roleplay trolls man, itās driving me nuts. If anyone on this beautiful website would be down pls reach out. Iām fine with ocxcanon, considering the brainrot has gotten to me so much that Iāve actually made an oc for John Dory. Iāve got a story thought out and everything for them, and would love to it if someone was willing to play JD for my OC! And Iām down for canon x canon too. Would loveeeee some Floydx riff, or something but Iām down to talk ships. I mostly only play mxm tho. Iām down with nsfw eventually but would love to establish plots and stuff. As a result tho please be 21+. As long as I get responses that are at minimum, three short paragraphs, Iām happy. If anyoneās interested feel free to send a message or leave a like!
