Please, if I’ve ever written something that you cared about, watch this and, if it speaks to you at all, share it — reblog it or blog it, spread it about, get other people to watch it.

It’s a VERY short film. It’s important. And it needs to be seen.

Also, please watch it and share it if you don’t happen to like or enjoy any of the books or comics or TV I’ve made, or if you think I’m a complete and utter waste of air of problematic as all hell. I don’t mind. Just watch it, and share it. It doesn’t indicate that you approve of me.  Just that you are human and you care about what is happening on this planet, right now.

PLEASE PRAY FOR PAKISTAN

For those of you who dont know why im so upset let me tell you what’s happening in pakistan right now
16 days ago a man named Imran Khan and Tahir-ul Qadri lead a peaceful protest to the government to convince them to step down because he believed that the election for the prime minister was rigged he was leading a revolution he was trying to change pakistan

The protest went on for 16 days and today the people Peacefully said that they wanted to go to the prime minister house and protest there thats when the “police” (you should know that alot of the police resigned because they didnt want to harm the peaceful protesters) started firing at the INNOCENT PEOPLE they fired at the children and women so the men would have to deal with them rather than fight back 
They had CHEMICAL gas that they released at the people

THE GOVERNMENT WON’T LET THE AMBULANCE GET TO THEM THERE ARE PEOPLE NEAR THE BUILDING THAT ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN SHOT 
AND NOW THEY’RE ORDERING THE “POLICE” TO ARREST IMRAN KHAN

7 INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE DIED

ya’ll remember the whole petition about net neutrality? yeah. it’s dead. 

We’re really, really fucking this up.

But we can fix it, I swear. We just have to start telling each other the truth. Not the doublespeak bullshit of regulators and lobbyists, but the actual truth. Once we have the truth, we have the power — the power to demand better not only from our government, but from the companies that serve us as well. “This is a political fight,” says Craig Aaron, president of the advocacy group Free Press. “When the internet speaks with a unified voice politicians rip their hair out.”

We can do it. Let’s start.

please please PLEASE HELP RESTORE THE INTERNET!! THE WAR IS ONLY STARTING BUT WE CAN DO THIS. WE ARE THE INTERNET. WE CAN WIN!

Oh for God’s sakes, take the two seconds to sign the damn thing. Every single one of you knows that if you didn’t have the same level of Internet access that you have right now, you would lose your mind. Think about how much time you spend on here. Think about what you do. You’ve gotten used to being able to communicate with people who are hundreds or thousands of miles away from you. You’ve gotten used to doing your coursework online and e-mailing your professors and applying for jobs and ordering food and arguing about Sailor Moon. You need to try and save it.

so what can you do to help, basically? well for one you can sign this petition congresswoman chellie pingree put out, which would stop the comcast/time warner cable companies from merging and basically stopping services like netflix and hulu, blocking certain sights and having a very very BAD effect on the internet + net neutrality. 

you can also help by signal boosting this post and signing it also.

a very very good thing you can do that would benefit would to either call or email this man right here shown in the picture above, telling him to restore net neutrality. telling him to help make the internet for the people, and not for the companies to control. 

thank you for taking time out of your day to help this!!!

Taiwanese President and the Government: Ensure there won’t be any violence against the protesters

The police turned violent after students occupied the Executive Yuan. Before they started beating these unarmed students, they asked the media to leave.

The protesters have been occupied the Congress for almost a week, asking Taiwanese government to send back a pact with China.With no positive answer from the President, some protesters stormed into the executive building in the evening of March 23, 2014. Jiang Yi-huah, President of the Executive Yuan, made an announcement requesting police power to evict these protesters (most of them are college kids). Based on the says from the witnesses, the police first ask the media to leave, and then attacked these students and protesters.

Apart from the riot, the neutrality of Taiwanese media has been questioned. Most of the news only reveal parts of the scenes, and removed the violence from the video.

The protesters are retiring to the Congress now.

Please sign this petition to help us to prevent police violence.

Thank you for your  consideration.

天佑台灣
