gabylopez answered your question:What the hell is this “Save the Internet” thing-y...

Basically cable companies want to extort money from websites to provide decent (read: not molasses slow) access to the sit’e users. Save The Internet is a petition for the FCC to swoop in and stop them with their magical powers.

oh...ok. A US thingy then.

Step Two

They came with smiles and corporate might,

the smiling god and rumbling light.

There came a man with hollowed eyes;

His candied tone concealed his lies.

Sadistic smile upon his face

Usurper in a sacred space.

'Twas far too much for us to bear

To hear that voice upon the air.

A horde of eyeless, suited drones

That grinned a chill right through your bones

Took flight with unabashed fear

When Nazr’s wretched tongue grew near.

An angel worth his weight in gold,

His riches wondrous to behold

Plucked from the wicked corporate midst

By one rock-weilding journalist.

So our resolve remained unshaken;

Proving Strexcorp was mistaken,

And unprepared for our attack.

They took our town; we won it back.

Erika and Tamika Flynn

Lead the citizens to the win.

With plastic bags and falling bricks

We brought our hearts into the mix.

Now stand back and behold our bounty;

The greatest city in this county.

We staged this bloody coup together,

Stand proud, Night Vale! And now, the weather.

I posted a haiku and tagged it… I can’t find your submit box. I’m also working on something longer, I’m just struggling to put it together.

Sorry, for those who are looking for the submission link... The link is here and I updated my theme that it will be in the navigation bar now for future reference... I didn't know that my theme didn't have the submit button so I fixed it up a little so it does now.

And thank you for your contribution, I'm sure it'll all work out fine. And thanks for pointing out that about the submission button I wouldn't really have thought about it because I've had the theme for so long...

gabylopez reblogged your post About this time each year I make a lis... and added:

Oh, honey. I have my TV schedule on iCal so I never miss anything.

There are several apps that will sync with your phone calendar.

Oh I know. I prefer to go old school in some things. Sometimes I add things to my calendar but I mostly prefer to just have a written list. That goes for appointments and grocery lists too. I like to write those out. =)
