Just saw a post in the net neutrality tag that said that “this wouldn’t have happened if y’all didn’t write Pennywise smut and vore.” You know what, bitch, fuck you, you fucking ignorant fuck, shut your stupid fucking mouth. This is happening cuz more rich white men got greedy. This has NOTHING to do with anyone’s fanfics, or who they write, or what they write, or who they want to fuck. Do not use this as a fucking excuse to shit in Penny fuckers more than we already are. This is a shit ton more serious than your whiny ass being all “like omg, I just can’t stand those sick clownfuckers, they need Jesus, and like, need to die, omg..” Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Clownfuckers have nothing to do with this happening. That tag should be for posts about a matter that will affect a lot of people, not as a way to bash Penny fuckers. Go to hell, you fucking piece of shit.
I agree, wtf people. Stop trying to blame fanfics like what is WRONG with you? I bet you’re one of those rich white men whores who don’t give a fuck about life and only want your wallets look like you do. Fat and ugly as the shit you post online.
NET NEUTRALITY….bitch…GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!*smacks net neutrality* ya’ll some greedy ass fuckers-get your pickle rick ass,a year old mashpotato lookin ass,a Im supost to be rich so give me money so people can HATE ME LOOKIN ASS-OUT-I OTTA SMACK YOU IF I EVER MET YOU YOU EDGY GREEDY ASS BITCH!
This matters a lot. The previous fights for net neutrality were won in part with the support of scrappy online companies like Tumblr, whose CEO, staff and users worked together to send a strong message to Congress and the FCC about the importance of a neutral internet, free from ISPs who slow down your connections to services unless they pay bribes for “premium” carriage.
With Trump’s FCC set to slay Net Neutality, the internet is once again planning a day of coordinated action: on July 12, sites across the net will send their users to the FCC and Congress to demand that ISPs be held to a public service standard befitting the trillions of dollars in public subsidies they receive every year in the form of access to rights of way through our cities and between them.
However, Tumblr is not among the companies presently slated to participate, and sources within the company told The Verge that the company and its CEO, David Karp (once a staunch Net Neutrality campaigner) have been given orders to sit this one out.
This btw – is why if you have fic on this site, you should probably work on copying it over to Ao3 now. Because the nature of Tumblr is likely to change with the new ownership… remember strikethru and prepare.
Heyyy everyone Have you been backing up the stuff you have only posted on tumblr? Because you should Gentle reminder Tumblr does not count as backup
((I don’t normally reblog these sorts of things as I tend to keep political things off of here. However, the concept of the FCC abolishing is terrifying on so many levels. It’ll hurt everyone from businesses to consumers alike the world over. But one of the things that directly impacts me here is that many of my friends are in the United States (I’m from Canada). Without net neutrality, it means that my friends may not be able to afford the ability to come online. It means losing people I care about. It means loneliness. Having a foreign ISP decide for me who my friends are based upon their ability to afford services does not sit well with me. I actually find it insulting. Which is one of the major reasons why I value net neutrality and wish to fight for it.
Just because David Karp is no longer in the fight doesn’t mean we should give up either. So I propose a plan here. We, the users, will participate on the day of action on July 12th. Change your icons, add banners to your blogs, create pop ups if you have the ability to do so, change your theme, do whatever you can online to show your support. Also, contact your representative or the FCC in a way you feel most comfortable and get vocal. But please, do not sit idle. Though as cliche as this sounds, I know for an absolute fact that this is true – one person CAN make a difference.
Thank you.))
//The idea of people being denied their (in many times only) friends and escapism and sources of knowledge because of corporate fuckery is honestly terrifying. The modern world is one where an internet connection is almost indispensable, if only to investigate and search for knowledge you don’t have, because education is subpar and the media and news a bought out joke.
Even if you’re not American (I am Spanish) this should scare you, not only for your friends that may no longer be able to afford to go online again, but because it sets an awful precedent. Others will follow America’s steps. Online gaming? Fandom? Hell, Wikipedia??
All down the drain once there’s not enough userbase for them to sustain themselves. No se puede poner puertas al campo.
I’ve already commented on one post, but I can’t with a clean conscience sit by without making my own.
I see so many posts about Net Neutrality, and while I think it’s tremendous how many of you are emailing the FCC, some of those emails aren’t going to change minds.
Some of you are emailing the chairman himself. Ajit Pai was a former Verison employee. It doesn’t matter how many emails you send to him. You could literally tell him that you depend on the Internet’s resources to live, and he would not bat an eye.
Many of you are putting in your emails that hospitals and schools will see troubles. I appreciate the effort, but when these men are the very same men who have already taken SO MUCH from hospitals and schools, will they?
What you NEED to do, is speak their language. That language is dollar signs. Make your voice sound like MONEY THEY WILL BE LOSING.
We live in a nation where restaurants are failing because no one can afford a $20 meal anymore. What makes the FCC think we can afford more than $60 Internet? E-commerce is essential to the US economy. If users are forced to go through paywall after paywall, they will STOP purchasing anything off the Internet. The nosedive in stocks will be the likes of nothing you’ve ever seen.
Without the freedom to choose which websites we visit, the internet, for many of you on Tumblr like me, will become virtually meaningless. Make THAT the message you spread to these two “Yes votes.” Tell them that if the Internet becomes just like cable TV, which none of us are able to afford, they will LOSE the few dollars we have.
They’ll be interested in hearing that.
These are the emails of the two FCC members voting “yes” on the repeal of NN. If anyone’s mind is going to be changed. It has to be one of these guys. And it has to be before December 14th.

Mike.O’Rielly@fcc.gov
If we speak their language, there may still be hope. Good luck, everyone.
“And what of the less than 800,000 comments submitted that were not a duplicate or clustered as part of a comment category? Does the trend of comments turning in favor of net neutrality continue in the long tail?
It turns out old-school statistics allows us to take a representative sample and get a pretty good approximation of the population proportion and a confidence interval. After taking a 1000 comment random sample of the 800,000 organic comments and scanning through them, I was only able to find three comments that were clearly pro-repeal.¹⁶ That results in an estimate of the population proportion at 99.7%. In fact, we are so near 100% pro net neutrality that the confidence interval goes outside of 100%.¹⁷ At the very minimum, we can conclude that the vast preponderance of individuals passionate enough about the issue to write up their own comment are for keeping net neutrality.”
Congress and the Senate have nothing to do with the vote to keep Net Neutrality. Only 5 people at the FCC get to vote: Ajit Pai, Mignon Clyburn, Michael O’Reilly, Brendan Carr, and Jessica Rosenworcel. Mignon and Jessica plan to vote to keep net neutrality. To defeat the net neutrality repeal, 1 of these 3 men need to change their vote:
Ajit Pai: 202-518-7399
Michael O’Reilly: 301-657-9092
Brendan Carr: 202-719-7305
Please, please, PLEASE contact them! Net neutrality is crucial to what all of us here on Facebook and across the entire internet enjoy on a daily basis. It guarantees equal access to the internet for all! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! Please copy and repost!
Let me also add on these numbers. The other numbers I call just seem to not work for me? But when I called Carr and ORielly on this I got to their office voice mail at least
Hey what the fuck happened to all the net neutrality coverage
This shit is still happening people, and all of the sudden its disappeared from my dash almost entirely over night
I don’t know why, but I think people are automatically being unfollowed from the Net Neutrality tag. It happens to me every time I try to follow it. I’ll follow the tag, come back 20 minutes later & I’ll for some reason have unfollowed the tag automatically. I think this may be happening to a majority of people in an attempt to silence the resistance. Please take a screen shot of this post in case it gets deleted.
hey yeah can yall reblog this cause this is very important. Tumblr is ACTIVELY trying to silence out outrage at this by making us incapable of seeing coverage of events. We’re all gonna have to come together and step up about this.
Every little note counts, spread the word, dont give in so easily
I just checked this and i can CONFIRM that tumblr AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU UNFOLLOW THE NET NEUTRALITY TAGS AFTER 20 MINUTES
Please spread the word! Screen shot this post just in case it gets deleted!!
There is a reason that happens. Tumblr is OWNED by Verizon who is a leader in throwing money at getting rid of Net Neutrality. They have spent literally millions to bring it down so that they can charge you more, slow down your internet and block you from sites they do not deem appropriate. Keep sending in letters, emails and making phone calls. IF you post about it ADD links for FS!
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online. In 2015, startups, Internet freedom groups, and 3.7 million commenters won strong net neutrality rules from the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The rules prohibit Internet providers from blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization—"fast lanes" for sites that pay, and slow lanes for everyone else.

well i guess this is it
