The Net Neutrality issue summarized

You (or your parents) pay approx $40-$100 or higher for internet. 

So that you can all use youtube, google, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc. etc. etc. This isn’t limited to social media.  

Net neutrality says, “Okay, since you already paid x amount of money for the month, you don’t have to pay for each asset individually. Enjoy your internet.”  NO net neutrality means that your service provider (comcast, at&t, verizon, whatever it may be) gets to say “ACTUALLY, it lines our pockets so give us an extra $5.99 for Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. Oh, but that doesn’t include Tumblr; that comes with our premium package. That’ll be $5.99 on its own as well. Now about your Google docs and email… 

That’s why it’s important. That’s why I’m spamming Net Neutrality crap. If you’re using the internet, it’s YOUR problem. 

-Email your congressman (text resist to 50409) It’s easy, you don’t have to talk to anyone. 

-Tweet the FCC. https://twitter.com/FCC

-Tweet THIS guy. https://twitter.com/AjitPaiFCC

-CALL. https://www.battleforthenet.com/

-This site does the heavy lifting for you.

-Sign this.  

-Sign this. 

-Email your congressmen (that’s what I’m doing) https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

-Swim the #NetNeutrality tag on Twitter. Seriously, it’s helpful. 

And lastly, GET THIS TRENDING. It’s trending on Twitter but it needs to trend here too. This is everyone’s issue.

i think, at this point, people telling other people how to feel over the dom thing is making things worse than what he actually did. like, let people be mad. let them sit in their feelings for a bit? allow them the time to decide if they want to accept his apology? and understand that some people within the community will (if they haven’t already) and some people won’t. for some, dom will be cancelled forever and HEY that’s okay. that doesn’t mean you can’t like him or accept his apology.

dom’s a grown ass man. a part of being a grown up is fucking up, admitting you fucked up, owning up to your shit, and hope that actions will speak louder than words when it comes to changes that need to be made. and let’s been honest, celebrities are under a microscope more now than ever. who dom really is will eventually surface.

people of tumblr: so, bullying is like super wrong, and you shouldn’t do that. peace and love and all that. also people of tumblr: continues to harrass and bully celebrities because they’re, like, playing a character i hate or something

This website is a perfect example of why we as a society progress so slowly. It’s always “us vs them”. You’re either the worst person on earth or a perfect angel. That isn’t how the world works. Yes there are true monsters in the world but coming on here you’d think every person who’s ever done anything that might even be considered slightly wrong is a terrible demon. People sending my friend anon hate because Ewan Mcgregor didn’t make a strong enough public statement against Weinstein for their liking. People saying anyone who bought a ticket to one of the x-men movies directed by Bryan Singer supports pedophilia. People going back to interviews from 3, 6, 10 years ago to find something they can twist to be a reason enough to hate someone. I’m tired. I’m so very tired of all the of damning anyone who doesn’t fit into a purity that doesn’t exist.

[kaisiphons]

i really don’t understand some of the petty antis

plenty of celebrities do things to raise money/awareness for certain things including mental health but because CHRIS WOOD is doing it, suddenly it’s an issue??

i’m still waiting to hear why people dislike chris wood other than the fact that they can’t separate chris wood, the person, from mon el the character.

[christopherwoods]

As a SC shipper I'd like to apologize for some of the crap that goes on in the fandom. Personally I didn't really care for Mon-el because I thought the writers did a disservice to his core character from the comics and there was a lot of wasted potential (theme of s2) But none of that has to do with Chris. He did the best he could with what he was given and had some great comedic timing! It's a small but annoying group of them and the majority of SC shippers want them to shut the **** up too.

hey, thank you but you don’t need to apologize, it was wrong for me to say that all SC are horrible antis because i have no right, i really do get super over protective of chris and jump on the defence. i’m glad there’s some of you coming forward and i hope as a fandom you pull together and don’t let them toxic people bring you down.

i have no problem at all with people disliking mon-el!! it’s understandable, not everyone is going to like the same people, however what i do dislike is anti’s claiming shit about mon-el which isn’t true when half of them don’t even watch the parts of the show that mon is in, they just hold onto little bits of things from 20 episodes ago and run with it, (ie the slave owner shit, the abusive thing etc), so as long as you stay in your lane and just dislike mon-el without trying to make other people agree with you or hate people for it, then it’s all good with me. 

chris is an actor who gets paid to play mon-el. he didn’t write the script, he didn’t replace james (from my understanding james wasn’t very well liked s1 and that’s why cw cut his screen time) he isn’t racist for accepting this job, he isn’t an abuse apologist because he said mon-el is a good person at heart and a hero (if you actually watched the show, you would see that deep down mon-el is a good person, he just needed time to show that off) 

also while we’re at it, can i just say that this whole chris saying an abusive ship like karamel is healthier than an interracial couple (westallen) was completely taken out of context?? he never EVER said that, he said that the ship name westallen isn’t as sweet as karamel (because karamel = caramel) that is literally IT. he never claimed karamel was a better couple than westallen or that it was sweeter. in fact, if i’m not mistaken that’s the only time he’s actually spoken about karamel (apart from when a fan asked if he shipped karamel on twitter to which he replied KARAMEL with an emoji) 

chris has actually hardly even spoken about supergirl or mon-el. those two things are the only thing antis think they have against chris and they’re taken out of context and not even true. 

listen, people know that i adore mon-el (actually the same people who hate him now liked him before when they thought he might be shipped off with winn and before karamel happened) but i’m not going to claim he’s this outstanding groundbreaking character (y’all know how i feel about his other characters) and i think chris has done an amazing job playing mon-el (especially since what he was pitched is completely different to the character he plays now but that’s another issue) and to call chris sexist because mon-el took the place of kara in the show is just laughable because kara has been in literally every scene on s2?? the cw asked chris to be part of the show, they literally handed the job to him on a plate, and he has such a large following that they wanted to use that, soooo they were hardly just gonna shove him off to the background lmao

anyway i’m so sorry for going off again, like i said i get really defensive over chris, but thank you for coming to me and saying this (i feel sorry for you people who just want to ship supercorp in peace) and i promise i won’t refer to you all as satan spawns, just that certain group of people!!

“Please, bring me a toothpick”

[phantity]

I’m quite disappointed that my absolute favourite has been missed off here: 28. Roald Dahl’s last words are commonly believed to be “you know, I’m not frightened. It’s just that I will miss you all so much!” which are the perfect last words. But, after he appeared to fall unconscious, a nurse injected him with morphine to ease his passing. His actual last words were a whispered “ow, fuck”

[lira-mira-deactivated20180126]

Oscar Wilde: “Either the wallpaper goes or I do”

Evidently, the wallpaper stayed

You do realize that not liking a character isn't the same as not liking an actor? Chris would never say some of dumb bullshit that comes out of mon els mouth.

I would have answered this earlier but tumblr didn’t alert me to the message but I’m not sure which post this is a response to but I’m aware of that? Not everyone that I’ve seen in the tags that dislikes Mon-El dislikes Chris Wood but I’m also not going to ignore that people also have the tendency to hate a character and take their hate out on the actor as well.

But I agree with you. I don’t think Chris Wood is the kind of guy that would do or say half of the things his characters have done or said.

[martajones]

mon-el + scratching

[kaisiphons]

I think the biggest issue when it comes to shippers (especially on tumblr) is that for the most part, the media has given this false sense of power towards fans whether that’s through fanservice or making them believe that if they can just hate on something ENOUGH that they will get their way. Some of you are seriously wild when it comes to this Karamel ship and even going as far as trying to hate on Chris Wood, the actor, for it. I get that there are toxic and abusive ships out there being portrayed on television but it feels like half of you expect this to be a two hour Disney film. Like, a season won’t even be over yet and a lot of shippers or ‘fans’ will make their minds up about something that is it.

I don’t understand people whose complaints about HTGAWM is that it’s unhealthy and unrealistic. It’s DRAMA centered around MURDER.

when u meet a poc and they introduce themselves w/the white pronounciation of their name like no sweetie you’re safe here, roll the r

[whospilledthebongwater]

Like you might have to pronounce your names 6 times to me slowly like I’m a fucking idiot but I’d rather look stupid and learn your real name than have you give me your shortened version or nickname to make your name more ‘convenient’ for me to say out loud

[anuglypineapple]

except like literally no, don’t say this to a poc who tells you the anglicized pronunciation of their name

i’ve seen a lot of poc calling out this post already but not many people have given longer responses so i will try to do that

1) my name is what i say my name is. when asked how to pronounce my name, sometimes i just say the anglicized pronunciation and sometimes i tell people “the anglicized pronunciation that i prefer is _____.” i literally never introduce myself with the vietnamese pronunciation of my name.

2) for the well-meaning ally, it might seem disrespectful to use an anglicized pronunciation. please consider that it is also disrespectful to use or ask that i tell you a pronunciation other than the one i’ve already given. to ask for or use another pronunciation is to defy what i am telling you. that’s rude and disrespectful.

3) to do so also shows how entitled you as a white person are. you are not entitled to my name, my language, or my culture. you can have access to those things if i invite you in.

4) “no sweetie you’re safe here” “i’d rather look stupid and learn your real name than have you give me your shortened version … to make your name more ‘convenient’ for me to say” you might be a good person and a good ally, but i’m inclined to think that you’re not. don’t assume that my decision to introduce myself with an anglicized pronunciation is for YOUR benefit. i would NOT introduce myself by a mispronunciation because i’m worried that my real name would be inconvenient for you. it is MY preference for you to use this anglicized pronunciation. please think about why you think that poc are doing these things for your benefit. please think about why you potentially consider poc to be so subservient as to mispronounce our own names SOLELY for YOUR convenience. it has nothing to do with you.

4.5) re: being a good ally to poc. we can’t tell the difference between a white person and a White Person TM, but in my personal experience most are a White Person TM.

5) try to think about this. “where are you from? no, where are you REALLY from? like, where is your FAMILY from?” vs. “how do you say your name? no, how do you REALLY say your name?” etc. it’s the same damn thing. you’re not entitled to anything other than what i say to you. if i tell you i’m from canada then you accept that as the answer. if i tell you my name is an anglicized pronunciation then you accept that as the answer.

i know a lot of white people reblogged the original post uncritically and i recognize that you are all trying and that you really are well-meaning in this sentiment. but please consider. if i wanted you to pronounce my name “properly,” i would have told you the “proper” pronunciation in the first place.

[kaisiphons]

I have a question for those who watch HTGAWM because I feel like I missed something.

In 3x06, Michaela asks when was the last time Asher saw everyone. He then says before Annalise called us, she wanted us to come over. Did he ever explain this? Did he just not go to the house?
