🚨 The Internet Needs You 🚨

🚨 The internet needs you 🚨

You’re up again, Tumblr. 

Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won. 

That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.

The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.

His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.

Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.

You know the drill. Here’s what to do:

The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.

Go there now 👉 dearfcc.org ✌️

You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:

I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.

The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them. 

The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.

Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.

Thank you!

If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.

Everyone is counting on everyone else here. Do your part and tell the FCC to keep a free and open internet under Title II.

Joan B. Lee: The Woman Who Saved the Marvel Universe

Joan Boocock was born on August 3, 1924, in Gosforth, Newcastle, England. In the 1940s she moved to New York City, where she married an American GI and worked as a hat model. Working at the agency, she met a young comics editor named Stanley Lieber, who worked under the pen name Stan Lee. The two fell in love instantly and she left her husband for him.

In the early 1960s, Stan Lee was feeling depressed and unhappy with his job and was seriously considering quitting the comics industry. Joan told him "Before you quit, why don’t you write one comic you are proud of?” Lee obliged and together with Jack Kirby, he created the Fantastic Four, the flawed, dysfunctional family of heroes that Lee always wanted to make. The comic was an instant success, reinvigorating Lee and convincing him to stay on at Marvel. He even went on to give his favorite hero, Spider-Man, a love interest based off his wife: Gwen Stacy. In later years, after the couple’s two children were grown-up, Joan would have a short career as a voice actress, voicing the recurring character of Madame Web in the Spider-Man animated series, as well as having small parts in the Iron Man and Fantastic Four series. In 2016 she had a cameo with her husband in X-Men: Apocalypse. 

The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, the X-Men, the Avengers, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Doctor Strange, Black Panther. While these heroes were created or co-created by Stan Lee, we may never have had them or the Marvel Universe without Joan. Thank you.

Shoutout and a big thank you to my cousin, @everything-wrapped-in-a-bow, AKA @toms-babygirl, for my new header. Seriously, bless her. She's great.

Aaaaw, thanks. XD Don't worry about it! I had a lot of fun helping and I really enjoy seeing the result! I think everyone should check this out though because I really like your commitment to choosing different— but still accurate— gender-bent casting choices for Supernatural. This is so fun to discuss with you as well. Thanks so much for including me!

Second part of are genderbending, this time you’ll have to find out by reading who we’re genderbending, because at the time of making this me and @natasha-the-slavic-shadow have no idea.

This is are genderbent version of the characters, you don’t have to like or enjoy it. All we ask is that you don’t leave rude comments or insult people for reading this. That’s all and I hope you enjoy!

Lucifer (Or Luci.) {SKYLER SAMUELS}

We think this was the closest we could get, but not in a bad way. We thought she was fitting for this role as a female Lucifer. We hope she’s a good fit to you also.

Crowley (or Fergie) {MONICA BELLUCCI}

image

We had fun with this one, we thought it was a good idea to do Crowley after Lucifer. We both joked the they gave us hell on finding a good genderbend version of them. I think both me and Zara ( @natasha-the-slavic-shadow ) got the Crowley vibe from Monica Bellucci.

Joanna Winchester {KATE BECKINSALE}

image

Love who @natasha-the-slavic-shadow came up with, overall hate John. Well other then his younger self. He was nice, older self not so much. We had a good time finding pictures and gifs of Kate Beckinsale even if we didn’t like the character we used her for.

Martin Winchester {BRAD PITT}

Second Part Of Are Genderbending, This Time You’ll Have To Find Out By Reading Who We’re Genderbending,

I’m just going to state, I had no idea why I came up with this one and i’m oddly happy I did. I’m still wondering why my brain thought brad pitt.

@natasha-the-slavic-shadow is a person I really should thank, she found these amazing GIfs and Pictures and even some of the actors. She was a big help with all of this and i’m super glad she did. NOW I NEED TO GET HER REQUEST DONE SOONER!!

ZACK SNYDER STEPS DOWN FROM ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ FOLLOWING FAMILY TRAGEDY!

ZACK SNYDER STEPS DOWN FROM ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ FOLLOWING FAMILY TRAGEDY!

Zack Snyder has announced that he will step down as director of the ‘Justice League’ movie to be with his family after his 20 year old daughter committed suicide. Joss Whedon has already been announced to step in and finish the movie in Zack’s absence. Snyder had already finished filming and a lot of post production work so the final product will still very much be a Zack Snyder movie. Our thoughts are with his family. 

Please respect Mark Sheppard at conventions

To everyone attending Phoenix con, if you get the chance to ask Mark a question during one of his panels please DO NOT ASK HIM why he left the show or why Crowley was killed off. We don’t know the circumstances behind Mark’s departure from Supernatural and it may be a sensitive subject for him, so please refrain from asking him about it at conventions. Please just thank him for doing an outstanding job playing Crowley for so many years and then move on and ask him about something else. I know everyone wants to know why Mark left the show, but we should be trying to make Mark’s remaining creation conventions as much fun as possible for him, so please try not to ask personal questions about him leaving the show.

Hello, may I ask for a ship Xmen or Avengers (if you cant think of 1 for Xmen, I hope it's fine to send in a link for the info) please and thank you. I hope the length is fine (sorry if its long, it's easier for me to write it detailed & shorten if need be, then vice versa), if not, let me know and I don’t mind shortening it. Here is the link to the tumble blog , I hope it works. Here it is, shortships(.) tumblr(.) (com) (without the parentheses). Also, I don’t mind being patient and waiting.

Hi! I ship you with Professor Charles Xavier and I think you’d be best friends with Peter Parker.

Charles Xavier would be captivated by your complex personality and compassion for others. He’d be incredibly understanding of your sensitivity and needs due to his abilities and would be able to act accordingly. You both are compassionate, caring, supportive, and loyal people who adore reading and learning. These similarities would be a fantastic foundation for a relationship to be built on. Charles would do his best to ensure that you understand that he is there for you and that you’re safe. He’d love to try the foods you create and would be delighted by your love of reading. Since he knows you enjoy reading and cooking, he’d probably gift you cookbooks frequently. You two would most likely start up a book club to help share your love of reading. Also, Charles would love to hear you sing and would adore your photography. He’d encourage you to pursue these hobbies further and would most likely hang your photographs up everywhere he can (with your permission of course). You would be very helpful for strategizing for missions due to your ability to detect loopholes and Charles and the others would be extremely grateful for your assistance. Charles would do his best to put you at ease whenever public speaking is necessary or when you must go through a large crowd. If you had a panic attack, Charles would be able to calm you down very quickly. On quiet days, the two of you would often be found cuddling together underneath a pile of fluffy blankets. You would be super supportive and understanding of him on his gloomy days where he finds the world’s thoughts and feelings overwhelming and would know how to act when that’s going on since you are familiar with how loud the world can be due to your sensitive and highly empathetic nature. You’d both probably get married to each other one day and have or adopt some children. Overall, I just feel like you and Charles would be a good fit.

Peter Parker would be your best friend because he understands what it’s like to face insecurities and guilt. You two also share a kind, caring, loyal, perfectionistic, sensitive, and witty attitude. Peter and you would discuss technology, photography, video games, and books together. You and Peter would also watch films (except for horror) and anime together. The two of you would go places together with the sole purpose of photographing everything you see. He’d probably get you to help him fix up a gaming console he found in the dumpster so that you two could play games together. He’d enjoy eating your food creations and would like hearing your singing. The two of you would often be found in his room playing a game or assembling a jigsaw puzzle while being wrapped in a huge fluffy blanket with a mug of tea. When your mental illnesses rear their heads, Peter would be supportive and understanding. He’d ask what he can do to help and respond accordingly. He’d try to show you how much you mean to him and would be there for you to the best of his abilities. If you ever found yourself in a situation involving heights, Peter would reassure you that he won’t let anything happen to you and that you’re safe with him. When Peter needs advice, he’d probably come to you due to your shared perfectionistic and caring attitude. You and Peter would make great buddies due to your similarities.

**Also, sorry for the delay in getting this up for you! Life got really crazy and then I got sick for a bit. Also, you sound like a really lovely person! Sorry to hear you’ve had a rough go at it. ❤️
