Hey, message from I-am-a-fish and I

As you know, Tumblr is removing all NSFW content tomorrow, and as much as we’ve had our fun joking about it, I think it’s a pretty serious issue that falls back to extreme corporate greed and a complete lack of understanding what the consumers want out of this site. 

So @i-am-a-fish have been talking about this log-out event, I think it’s important to express to the people that operate this site that what they’re doing is self-destructive and totally stupid. Some people have already left the site, and I can understand that fear, but there’s still a slim chance they’ll listen to what we have to say if we’re persistent and consistent. 

Tomorrow, please join us for the log-out event, keep from posting, browsing and liking things on this site, leave it barren, to show what things might come to if Tumblr HQ doesn’t begin to listen to their community. Dont fret, regardless I’ll be back on the 18th.

i-am-a-fish and I have a twitter too, so if we can’t post the things we want to on here, we will on twitter.

Pukicho!               

Fish!

[i-am-a-fish]

Thank you @pukicho !!

Everyone please do not log in tomorrow, it’s really important if we want to spread a message to Staff, Yahoo, Verizon, and the people who buy ads on their sites.

This ban is blatantly sexist, and it’s doing serious harm to innocent sex workers and NSFW artists who make a living off of their commissions.

Staff has always disappointed their user base, but this new policy is incredibly disrespectful. Pukicho and I are going to be using Twitter tomorrow until the 18th when the protest is over, and we’ll be regularly posting on Twitter from now on.

If you would like to give us a follow the links are in Pukicho’s part, and you can add your own twitter links to this post if you want. Sorry for being so serious, I’m just incredibly upset and disappointed about this whole situation.

The internet could change next week, and not in a good way

You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression. 

We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report. 

The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment. Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now. 

If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.

Please reblog this as much as you reblogged the posts about Net Neutrality. 

If Article 13 is approved, European People might be basically banned from uploading any fan content. 

You won’t get new fanfics from people in Europe.

You won’t get new gifs from people in Europe.

You won’t get new fanart from people in Europe.

Because they’ll be automatically filtered and blocked!

We might leave Tumblr and other fandom pages.

And if we’re getting all our content blocked? 

You might lose some of your favourite followers/mutuals.

You might not get to read the rest of that fic you’re dying to read - simply because the writer lives in the wrong country.

So do whatever you can to help us stop this.

Reblog this.

CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO TELL THEM YOU DON’T WANT ARTICLE 13 TO BE APPROVED IF YOU’RE EUROPEAN! DO IT VIA THE HOMEPAGE

Things I’ve noticed in the trailer

Previously destroyed statues in HTTYD 2 have been replaced with one of a dragon

Valka’s dragon is in the BG so we’ll definitely get to see Mama Haddock in this movie

This fight will be a fight in the sea, a nice touch when you consider HTTYD a fight in the air and HTTYD 2 a fight on the land.

Hiccup and Toothless emerging from the fire is an homage to HTTYD 1 where they fell into the flames.

Feel free to add more things you noticed!!!

He actually has fins on the foot like it was hinted in the poster

so when a Black kid gets kidnapped and gets tortured by a group of White people it doesn’t make the news but if a White kid were to get kidnapped…it would make the national news.

[passepieds-deactivated20180606]

13 y/o Zavion Parker was kidnapped and tortured on his way home from school in East Houston by a group of White supremacists (5 teens and 1 adult all with red hair and the adult having a tattoo the confederate flag and another tattoo saying “I hate black people”.) Zavion said when they kidnapped they took him to a shack/cabin with guns and torture items and where he sees other Black people who aren’t moving. Zavion asked why he was kidnapped, the group of White supremacists said “because you’re Black”. As the White supremacists move to the next room to load a gun, Zavion makes his escape. Zavion was found with a torn shirt and no shoes by Camecia Carmouche. Police went to Zavion’s home to follow up the lead. He, his mom, and Camecia lead the officers to the cabin/shack. According to the police they found a wooden chair, shell castings and weapons.

As of now the White supremacists haven’t been caught.

Let’s all make #ZavionPark trend today. 🗣We can’t let this go. BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Everyone reblog this. A girl is about to be executed because she stood up to her rapist. Seriously, it takes you one second, and could save her life.

I need to know that the Inheritance Cycle fandom is not dead yet. Please reblog so I can know that there are still people out there who remember and cherish these books. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT

Reasons to read Inheritance Cycle

Ok children lemme tell you a story About an underrated children series Ok first: -The author began writing this when he was 15 years old, FREAKING 15 YEARS OLD (AT FIFTEEN I WAS READING 200 PGS BOOKS THIS GUY WROTE A 500 PAGE BOOK) -the narration is so well written, it’s not as straightforward as other books, but it’s also not as tedious to read as literature by Tolkien or Victor Hugo - it describes magic SO WELL, not even Harry Potter or Beautiful Creatures or any other magic-centered book series I have read has such a detailed explanation about the nature of magic itself Second -Eragon is a cinnamon roll you won’t be able to contradict this -the characters are AMAZING, their flaws and qualities are depicted in such a realistic way Third FEMINISM -Eragon’s dragon is a female, Saphira is his true counterpart and her role is crucial to the survival of the dragon race -although the main character is a male (c'mon it was published 11 years ago, we didn’t have katniss everdeen or rey back then) women play extremely important roles -none of them are used just to give Eragon a love interest -Eragon’s ‘love interest’ serves more as a reference to his level of maturity than as an actual love interest -Two of the five most powerful people in the series are women (one of them is a human black female, also she has no magic which puts her with the greatest disadvantage but she still kicks ass) COME ON IDK WHY PEOPLE HAVEN’T READ THIS ALSO IT DESERVES SO MUCH MORE THAN THE MEDIOCRE MOVIE IT GOT

You laugh, watching the humans run around looking confused at where the rain fell from, or how the sky turned dark at night, or wonder how far away the stars were. You leave them alone, completely humoured at their stupidity, but return one day to find some of them dancing on the moon. You close the container of your old science project and put it away in your bag. “Weird.” You mumble.

[swanrock]

Little did you know of the day they would reach out of the container and confront you
