Net Neutrality is Dead and You Can Expect Your Internet to Change on April 23rd

papi-chulo-bucky:

Yeah, no, I’m cross-tagging because the lack of attention this is getting overall is pissing me off.

Ajit Pai killed Net Neutrality. You’ll start seeing the effects you were warned about on April 23rd. Oh, and he apparently got an award for Courage from the NRA gun nuts, too.

You can still help by calling your senators and representatives. We just need ONE MORE PERSON on our side to get the senate portion of Congress to overrule the FCC’s decision to kill net neutrality. The battle for the net won’t end there, but it’s a start. Go to battleforthenet to find out who your reps are and where they stand, and CONTACT THEM.

Twenty-three states are also suing the FCC for this. I haven’t looked into it yet, but I assume big businesses like Google and Amazon are as well. Nevertheless, we can’t rely on lengthy lawsuits alone. The changes to your internet start in less than two months. We don’t have a whole lot of time.

Blow this up. Contact your reps. Please, do something! We HAVE to get the decision overruled!

Omg….

Here’s a casual reminder that the repeal of Net Neutrality officially goes into affect on April 23rd. We still have time to do something, we only need ONE more vote from the Senate to restore Net Neutrality, so please keep calling your representatives and put pressure on them to vote against the FCC’s repeal

hey american followers

canadians reblogged fcc & net neutrality stuff for you so you had access to information - can you lend a hand and help us now?

Context (please share this post!):

Bell, Cineplex, Rogers and Shaw are trying to censor the internet and force the end of net neutrality in Canada.

Please share this. I’m scared to death that because the internet’s so focused on the US, that saving net neutrality in Canada won’t get as much attention or support

TUMBLR IS FORCING SAFE MODE ON

As you can see it wont happen now but “over the next couple of weeks”. The reason for that is simple. They want you to forget about that change and leave it on forever allowing them to hide content they deem “unsafe”.

Why turn that setting off?

The so called “Safe mode” will give tumblr full control over what you see and what you dont. They will just use that setting to unofficially ban people off the platform by cutting their followers from the content.

There is absolutely no reason for that setting to even exist! Tumblr displays only posts and reblogs from people you follow so you see only what you want to see.

What if I actually want to filter my tumblr dashboard?

Oh look here is your Safe mode button

Oh wait whats that thing under it? :O

Doesnt that make you wonder why that Safe mode button exists in the first place when you can just write tags in that menu? Tumblr just wants to gain full control over your dashboard.

If you are in tumblr just for porn then make sure to disable Safe mode once it’s out!!! 

Even 2d/3d porn will most likely get censored

Haha this is absolutely NOT JUST FOR NSFW STUFF.

I have several tumblr blogs. One for fan art, one for school work, etc.

And on all of them I’ve had comics, illustrations, other artwork, hell YOU NAME IT, flagged RANDOMLY, without ANY NOTICE as NSFW. Costing an artist like me both exposure and money.

So please, review your safe mode to make sure that tumblr isn’t controlling what you are seeing on your dash. 

Thank you.

Tumblr, please stop being stupid?

Forced Safe Mode just went live. Go into your account settings to check for the changes.

Here’s how to turn it off:

iOS:

• Leave the Tumblr app for a sec and go to the main Settings app on your device.
• Scroll down and tap “Tumblr.”
• Look for “Safe Mode” and adjust the settings to match your comfort level.

Android:

• Go to settings: Tap the little person in the tab bar, then the gear icon in the top right, then “General settings.”
• Tap “Filtering,” then
• Flip the Safe Mode switch on.

Web:

• Go to settings: Click the little fella in the top bar, then click settings.
• Scroll to “Filtering,” and click the Safe Mode switch on.

It was on for me, so go check it off.

If you use both, you’ll probably have to turn it off separately for web AND mobile.

Hey guys. 

I’m really loathe to ask for help in just about any situation. I don’t know why, but under any circumstance I’ve hated asking for it. 

But I’m going to be in partial hospitalization this week, and in order to do that I have to take a week off work. Money is already tight right now and losing a week of work on top of the couple of sick days I took is going to be detrimental.

And I really… I really need help. 

I’ve got commissions open, a RedBubble where you can get yourself nifty merch, a Ko-Fi site, and my paypal is nmlovearts@gmail.com

I’m really sorry to do this but I’m not sure what else to do. 

I understand if you can’t support monetarily. Your kind messages, even if I’m super bad at responding to them, are helpful and I love reading them. I really appreciate everyone who’s already sent help my way. Words cannot state how thankful I am.

Thai School With a Lot of Heart Calling all Teachers!

Whenever I travel, people tell me they wish they could have my job.

Hey! Guess what—I have some good news for you. You can!

My wonderful school is hiring for the new academic year starting in May and we’re on the hunt for fun, passionate, dynamic people to join the team. (And! Unlike most ESL positions, non-native speakers are welcome to apply! As long as your English is fluent and clear, we’re excited to welcome people from non-native countries. For example, we currently have a teacher from The Netherlands.)

If you’ve ever thought of immersing yourself in a new culture, moving to the beautiful Thai countryside, teaching some of the absolute best kids out there, working with people who will feel like family, or spending three months vacation in the cool mountains or on the toasty beach (or traveling around SE Asia!), this job might be perfect for you!

You can check out the following links below and watch the video to meet the current teachers (including myself!).

Information for lower primary

I am not a recruiter. We are not involved with recruiters in any way. Anyone you speak to in an interview process with this school, including myself (the current grade 6 teacher), are teachers at the school.
You’re welcome to message me with any questions you might have before applying.

This school is wonderful and loads of fun. I’ve included pictures below the cut that hopefully can give folks an idea of what we do here at Anuban Nakhon Sawan.

Keep reading

Hey! I’ve mentioned it here before, but I’m in the process of finalizing my move to Japan. That means that it’s time for me to leave my wonderful job here in Thailand. That also means that my position (and a couple in the lower primary years) are hiring!

We’re really trying to find wonderful teachers who can join the team at our school. We’re very dedicated to leaving this program better than when we came and giving the kids the absolute best they deserve. That means we need to get the word out!

I would really appreciate any reblogs you can throw my way! If you know anyone who might be interested, please pass this message along. I really appreciate it, friends!
