VIDEO: Living Under Israel’s Missiles
Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.
More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”

Shout Out to all writers on Tumblr. You are an artist with your way with words and imagination. Reblog to make someone’s day
The FCC voted to repeal Net Neutrality, but I would like to reiterate to all of you that now is not the time to panic. It’s time to get angry and active, but not time to panic.
Clickbait sites are painting today as the definitive “end” of it all, but it’s not. This shit’s still got to go through the courts.
The FCC has tried to repeal net neutrality twice before, and both times it got repealed by the courts.
The voting public’s support for Net Neutrality is overwhelming. Last I checked, 83% of polled voters nationwide are in support of Net Neutrality staying.
Republican politicians and lawmakers are aware of this overwhelming support and have been voicing their support as well.
Doug Jones victory in Alabama was a wake-up call for Republican politicians, letting them know they are not invincible.
Join the millions of Americans making their voices heard. Contact your representatives. Call them. Email them. Tweet at them. Anything you can do helps. Use the links provided on this website:
https://www.battleforthenet.com/
This is not a time for panic, it is a time for anger and for action. Let them know that this is not the end, only the beginning.
“Particularly damning is what today’s repeal will mean for marginalized groups, like communities of color, that rely on platforms like the internet to communicate, because traditional outlets do not consider their issues or concerns, worthy of any coverage. It was through social media that the world first heard about Ferguson, Missouri, because legacy news outlets did not consider it important until the hashtag started trending.” - Mignon Clyburn, FCC Commissioner for Net Neutrality
Today the FCC voted 3-2 to kill the net neutrality rules you helped pass back in 2015
Let’s not kid ourselves: This is a major setback in our fight for a free and open internet. But It’s not the end. Not for us, and we hope not for you.
Net neutrality is too important to be subject to the whims of any administration. We need legislative action.
Go to Battle For The Net to get connected directly to your Senators or Representatives. If we work together, we can get it done. Again!
Here’s more from Commissioner Clyburn this morning:
I am optimistic, that we will look back on today’s vote as an aberration, a temporary deviation from the bipartisan path, that has served us so well. I don’t know whether this plan will be vacated by a court, reversed by Congress, or overturned by a future Commission. But I do believe that its days are numbered. (Verge)
The motion to repeal Net Neutrality has been passed in a 3-2 vote
Before everyone losses their shit, I will like to urge everyone to talk a deep breath and focus on the following:
1: This cannot go into immediate effect.
2: There is still many issues that WILL be addressed by the Congress, Supreme Court, and many other government officials have a current say in the false comments, stolen idenities, denial of public hearings, and many other issues that the FCC did not address.
3: CALL. YOUR. OFFICALS. Do NOT give up, just because the vote has passed, don’t you DARE stop. Make this shit go front-page, make some NOISE.
DO. NOT. STOP.

PATREON BACKED DOWN!!! 🎉🤘🎉🤘🎉
Creators and Patrons,
We’ve heard you loud and clear. We’re not going to rollout the changes to our payments system that we announced last week. We still have to fix the problems that those changes addressed, but we’re going to fix them in a different way, and we’re going to work with you to come up with the specifics, as we should have done the first time around. Many of you lost patrons, and you lost income. No apology will make up for that, but nevertheless, I’m sorry. It is our core belief that you should own the relationships with your fans. These are your businesses, and they are your fans.
I’ve spent hours and hours on the phone with creators, and so has the Patreon team. Your feedback has been crystal clear:
The new payments system disproportionately impacted $1 – $2 patrons. We have to build a better system for them.Aggregation is highly-valued, and we underestimated that.Fundamentally, creators should own the business decisions with their fans, not Patreon. We overstepped our bounds and injected ourselves into that relationship, against our core belief as a business.
We recognize that we need to be better at involving you more deeply and earlier in these kinds of decisions and product changes. Additionally, we need to give you a more flexible product and platform to allow you to own the way you run your memberships.
I know it will take a long time for us to earn back your trust. But we are utterly devoted to your success and to getting you sustainable, reliable income for being a creator. We will work harder than ever to build you tools, functionality, and income, and our team won’t rest until Patreon is making that happen.
Thanks for continuing to create. We are nothing without you, and we know that.
If you haven’t sent us a note yet, or if you don’t see your concerns listed above, please leave us your feedback here.
Jack.
———–
Please no one make fun of or criticize Patreon for doing this. The customers complained and the company fixed the problem. That’s what we want companies to do, preferably without having to campaign for it first.
I’m seeing so many people being snide and shitty about this and honestly miss me with that shit. Even if them losing money was a deciding factor in this retraction, they didnt have to go back on it. Patreon makes enough money from big subscriptions in the long term, that it could have afforded to let the little creators die. And the majority of bigtime creators would have let it happen too. Don’t forget there are big names on patreon, who would have ultimately continued to thrive and keep patreon afloat while the rest of us drowned.
What we have here is a company making an ill thought out decision that primarily would have affected the little people, and the company taking note of our rightful outrage, holding their hands up fully accountable and saying “we’re sorry, we wont do that.”
And it wasnt a non apology either, it was a seemingly sincere mea culpa with a direct follow through on Not doing the shit thing which would have cost us all more income the moment it launched.
Guys, this is how we want businesses to work. We want them to be held accountable, we want them to apologize when they do wrong, we want them to listen to us and work with us and do what is right. And I dunno if it was driven by financial loss or ethical business concerns, possibly both. But the point is they did it. They were held accountable and corrected their actions. A little too late perhaps for some of our liking, but all the same it’s a good positive step not to be downplayed by fatalistic cynicism about how everyone is ultimately evil and greedy.
This is a good thing that is making many of us breathe a sigh of relief. Stop trying to detract from that.

Everyone! Important information!
I’ve been hard at work this morning to spread the news about net neutrality. In case you don’t know what net neutrality is, let me fill you in.
Imagine a world in which the government can limit what you can and can’t access on the internet. Imagine a world in which you must pay individually for internet access, the device on which you access the internet, access to video, to social media, news, email, etc. Imagine a world in which individual companies such as Verizon and AT&T can charge you whatever they want for this access. Imagine a world in which they determine what you can access.
Sounds pretty bad, right? Thankfully, a little thing called net neutrality prevents this from happening.
Except they’re voting to repeal it on December 14th.
The internet as we know it could disappear, unless we take action now! Email and call your local Senators! Spam them. You can see a list of the three people whose vote we need to change to “no” to prevent this from being repealed by checking out the posts I’ve reblogged or by searching net neutrality here on Tumblr.
I encourage you to come up with your own reasons for why net neutrality should not be replaced. They have released statements implying they will only consider emails and calls with new information or perspectives.
Please guys. If you like your fandoms, please please please email the heck out of your representatives.
Also note: Tumblr.com is owned by Yahoo which is owned by Verizon. Verizon is one of the biggest supporters of the repeal of Net Neutrality.
This means Tumblr is actively working to prevent the spread of posts like this. It is un-following people from the net neutrality tag. It is deleting posts.
If you’re not sure what to send, here’s the email I sent Mike O'Rielly.
DO NOT COPY THIS EMAIL. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER REPEAT EMAILS.
Mr. O'Rielly,
I am well aware that you are being flooded with emails at this point in time, but I’d like you to take a short moment to consider mine. Sir, this is about more than money. This about people’s lives. The internet provides access to suicide, abuse, trauma, and victim resources for hundreds of thousands of people. Many of them would lose these resources due to financial reasons if net neutrality were to be repealed. Sir, your vote of no on December 14th can save the victims, the hurt, the wounded, the sorrowful, the discriminated, and all those who draw upon online resources and communities to keep going. I personally know that many online resources such as Calm.com and 7 Cups of Tea have kept me from hurting myself both physically and emotionally on numerous occasions. I have many friends who have found solace in online communities on websites like Tumblr.com. For some of them, said communities prevented their suicide. But I can speak for each and every one of us and say that we would not be able to afford access to these sites if net neutrality was repealed.
I would also like to bring to your attention the suffering of self-employed social media content creators and small businesses. Social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram have become a livelihood for many young people. Their paychecks are determined by the amount of views they received and followers they have, either directly or indirectly. If net neutrality was repealed, their online traffic would surely decline. The entire business they had created could very easily cease to exist, leaving them in the dust with no money to pay the bills. Once again, Mr. O'Rielly, people’s lives are in your hand. Are you willing to take the risk of leaving these young people destitute? Some small businesses also require the Internet to thrive. Take sites like Etsy.com for example. Many people will craft handmade goods and sell them online on this website and other sites like it. Once again, people can only buy these goods if they can access them.
Mr. Mike O'Rielly, I beg of you. Vote no. Keep net neutrality. These are just two examples of many reasons why the free internet is imperative to our modern world. I give you my fullest respect, but know that if you vote yes and net neutrality is repealed, I will hold you personally responsible for the effects. It’s in your hands Mr. O'Rielly. Nobody is going to make this decision for you. Consider the millions of people sending in emails and making phone calls. Consider the effects of repealing net neutrality. Consider all of this, and then make your decision.
Choose wisely.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Harriet Bowles
Fight for Net Neutrality!!!!!
Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr
That’s what is going to happen if we let Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, go through with repealing Title II (AKA Net Neutrality).
Simply put, without Net Neutrality, Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to “bundle” websites much like cable ON TOP OF paying for internet connection. “Want access to Netflix AND Tumblr? Get the Entertainment Package! $40 a month. What about Amazon and Ebay? Add an extra $20 a month to get the Shopping Package.”
Not only will they be able to bundle websites and charge more, they will also be able to censor and block websites that they don’t agree with entirely.
THIS WILL BE THE END OF INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.
For business owners, it will be even worse. Ex: Comcast will ask Amazon to pay high fees to be available in a low-cost package, fees that websites like Poshmark or Etsy will not be able to pay. Therefore, only Fortune 500’s will be available to web users at a low cost. Say goodbye to Etsy (unless you’re willing to shell out $70 a month for the “All-Inclusive” package).
To learn about Net Neutrality, why it’s important, and/or want tools to help you fight for Net Neutrality, visit BattleForTheNet (https://www.battleforthenet.com)
There are five people deciding the future of the internet, three men (Rep) and two women (Dem). The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a NO vote to save Net Neutrality.
There are many ways you can help:

Most importantly, VOTE. This should not be something that is so clearly split between the political parties as it affects all Americans, but unfortunately it is.
PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR INTERNET!
🚨🚨🚨ATTENTION!🚨🚨🚨
Everyone, especially to all my American followers, this is a really serious issue that we ALL need to take action against!
Net Neutrality is about to be taken away, removing our freedom of browsing through the internet however and whenever we want by placing paywalls and having our every move watched. The way we access the Internet on a daily basis could very well be changed for the worst for the sake of satisfying the greed of companies and other people with power.
But the good news is that YOU can do something about it!
In the description below this video I’ve shared, there’s a heck-ton of information on this issue!
You can call your representatives, write letters to the FCC, and most importantly…VOTE!!! As well as many other things. But please remember to be civil when doing any or all of the above. They can listen to you less if you act emotionally, so please try your best to stay calm and be mature about all of this.
PLEASE SPREAD THIS POST AROUND! Let everyone and your fellow American users know what’s going on! This is a VERY serious issue that could possibly affect the whole world if other countries decide to follow suite, but we as a collective can stop it by using our voices and the tools I’ve mentioned above.
Please reblog this as fast as you can
