Hi there! My name is Jenn and I help the Dunsworth Family run their Dad’s Legacy page on Instagram (100%JohnDunsworth). I spotted a piece you made of Jim Lahey as a devil and we love it and want to share! Is this ok with you and if so, how would you like us to tag you? Thanks!

Thank you for your interest! I believe the picture you’re referring to isn’t actually Lahey as a devil. It’s actually a drawing of my old friend’s My Little Pony OC dressed as Jim Lahey. I don’t mind you sharing it if you’re still interested. If you want to tag me you can just post the tumblr link. Thanks!

Breaking news: The D.C. Appeals Court just killed Net Neutrality. This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn’t have to be. Tell the FCC to restore Net Neutrality: http://bit.ly/1iOOjoe

they want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that

This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American

I do not reblog things like this very often, but this affects me both personally and my business as a freelance artist.

In the economy here; cash is already strapped as it is. You bet your ass companies would suck the ever living life out of misc. art sites.

I don’t want it to ever come down to me choosing between groceries or purchasing a new tier package via comcast to be able to access tumblr or DeviantArt (let alone not guaranteeing I’ll even be seen by my customer base since they may not want to pay out their asses either). It doesn’t seem important to most, but I do 90% of my business online entirely.

Please sign up, fight for this and share it with your followers/friends/family and urge them to give them hell as well.

Not writing related, but this is incredibly important. While we pay for service via ISPs, the internet has been a relatively free space where everyone, no matter their income level, is able to connect, access a wealth of information, and express themselves. The Internet has become a major part of our culture as human beings and the notion that ISPs might be able to limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more is utterly sickening. A lot of us are cash strapped as is, and I’d rather not be limited even more by someone else’s greed. Net Neutrality is essential and I hope you guys will understand why it needs to remain.

P.S. Signal boost this if you’re able.

As I understand this ruling, it means that businesses now have to pay extra to ISPs to have access to their websites through that ISP provided at a reasonable speed. If you don’t pay, users’ access to your website will be slowed to a crawl - so independent people and small businesses can forget about getting onto that high speed access tier.

This means that the American internet is going to be firmly under the control of those who have the most money. You’ll only get to see the content of those who can pay the ISPs to provide access at a reasonable speed. This means that you can expect to see skewed representation of just about everything, with those bigger businesses who can afford to pay ISPs a premium for access deciding what you can and cannot read, view and consume on the internet.

This is not something that we have in the UK. Our ISPs compete with each other to provide higher speeds, better services and lower prices, but because there’s a monopoly in the US of a few ISPs who provide services, they can afford to do this to you. You can’t go anywhere else, after all.

Everyone in the US needs to sign that petition, call their representatives, write angry letters and do whatever you can to tell your government that this ruling is Not Okay.

Maybe you guys are sick of this post but It’s really important to freelance artists and pretty much everyone who uses the internet, so here it is again. \o0o/

Just to let people know; this post is from 2014, or is at least incredibly old, meaning as of right now, Net Neutrality is not dead

That said, it is still necessary to fight back to keep it going!

I’m taking commissions

I decided to start doing commissions for the first time!

Anyone interested can look at my DA journal for info

What does Raiko do for a living?

you are about to lose your access to the internet.

right now, you are able to access everything on the internet, correct? it’s not like cable tv, where you’re forced to pay a company to only give you a limited range of shitty tv shows bombarded with shitty commercials all for an expensive and unfair deal.

the internet is about to be exactly like that. everything, from accessing sites like Tumblr to ao3, to seeing your financial aid packet online, to googling dumb shit on wikipedia, to laughing at internet memes, to streaming things online, all of that is because the internet is open and free. and it is all about to be taken away from you. you are about to lose your net neutrality.

do not understand net neutrality? here is a handy guide. here is also a john oliver segment describing everything.

here is what you can do to stop it:

-submit your comment to the fcc here. click on + Express, fill out your info, and tell the FCC not to repeal Net Neutrality rules. Tell Ajit Pai to support Net Neutrality backed by title 2 oversight on ISPs. make your comment personal.

YOU. MUST. SUBMIT. A. COMMENT. this is the most IMPORTANT part!! public comments close on MAY 11. we don’t have much time to save the internet!

-FCC Hotline: 1-888-225-5322

-here are petitions you can sign

-call your representatives. urge them to pressure the FCC not to remove the Titile 2 oversight on ISPs.

PUBLIC COMMENTS CLOSE THIS THURSDAY, MAY 11. WE HAVE TWO DAYS TO COMPLETELY FLOOD THE COMMENTS. THIS IS URGENT.

please spread! send this to all your mutuals! spam your blogs! send this to all your friends on facebook, on twitter, reddit, on anything and everything! email your mom! idc! just get as many people as you can to submit a comment!!

Ikeep rebloging things here on accident sorry
